3.1. Best Review 1: “Recommended Staycation Spot in Incheon: Nest Hotel Incheon’s Swimming Pool on Yeongjong Island”

Summary of the Blog Post

I visited the 5-star Nest Hotel Incheon located on Yeongjong Island in Incheon. The view of the sea and sunset here is the best among Incheon hotels. I could rest in a very quiet environment.

The room was a Deluxe Double Seaside room, where I could enjoy the sea and sunset of Yeongjong Island. A free shuttle bus service is also available, so please note. The swimming pool is divided into an infinity pool and a spa pool, both of which have high temperatures and can be used even in winter.

In the evening, I enjoyed a wine unlimited promotion at Kunst Lounge. This promotion runs only until the end of December. I highly recommend Nest Hotel Incheon as a hotel with high satisfaction for the price.

7. Diving into Price Analysis

Finally, let’s delve into arguably one of the most critical categories in hotel reviews – pricing.

To pinpoint where you can get your money’s worth, I’ll be comparing rates from renowned hotel comparison platforms like ‘HotelsCombined,’ ‘SkyScanner,’ and ‘Trivago.’

Our criteria for this low-price hunt? A one-night stay from Wednesday to Thursday for two guests in a single room—breakfast excluded (as it often significantly bumps up costs).

7.1. Price Comparison via ‘HotelsCombined’

After searching through ‘HotelsCombined’, the best deal I found was $89 when booking through ‘Book with Hotel‘.

7.2. Price Comparison via ‘Sky Scanner’

The lowest price on ‘Sky Scanner’ is $99 for a 1-night stay when booking through ‘Trip.com’, ‘agoda’, etc.

7.3. Price Comparison via ‘Trivago’

The lowest price on ‘Trivago’ is $85 for a 1-night stay when booking through ‘Hotel’s Official Site’.

7.4. Official Website of ‘Nest Hotel Incheon‘

I also explored prices directly from the ‘Nest Hotel Incheon‘ official website. The lowest price on the official website was KRW 143,000. When applying the current exchange rate of 1,299 KRW per dollar, the lowest price offered by the official hotel website comes out to be approximately $110.

Our analysis reveals that out of all four sites considered, ‘Trivago’ offers the best deal at USD 85 for a stay at the ‘Nest Hotel Incheon‘. You might want to keep this information handy while booking.

★ Do bear in mind, these rock-bottom prices are subject to change based on your stay dates and when you’re conducting your search.

★ Also crucial to remember – today’s best deal doesn’t necessarily promise future savings.

★ Consider this ‘Lowest Price Analysis’ as a guiding light rather than an absolute rule.

★ For savvy hotel booking, I’d recommend revisiting these comparison sites during your accommodation planning phase – you never know when you might stumble upon an even better deal!”

And with that, we wrap up our review of the ‘Nest Hotel Incheon‘, seen through a distinctly Korean lens.
