5. Distance and Travel Time to Incheon Airport

As highlighted earlier, the ‘Ocean Soleview Hotel’ boasts a prime location close to Incheon International Airport. Whether you choose to hop on the complimentary shuttle bus or grab a reasonably priced taxi, reaching the airport is a breeze. Here’s a quick look at the estimated distance and time by car from the hotel to Incheon International Airport.

5.1. From the Hotel to Incheon International Airport Terminal 1: 20 km, 19 minutes

Green Circle: Hotel / Red Circle: Incheon International Airport Terminal 1

The ‘Ocean Soleview Hotel‘ is located 19km away from Terminal 1, and the car journey takes approximately 20 minutes.

5.2. From the Hotel to Incheon International Airport Terminal 2: 22 km, 21 minutes

Green Circle: Hotel / Red Circle: Incheon International Airport Terminal 2

The ‘Ocean Soleview Hotel‘ is located 22km away from Terminal 2, and the car journey takes approximately 21 minutes.

6. Free Shuttle Bus Schedule (to/from Incheon Airport Terminal 1 & 2)

The ‘Ocean Soleview Hotel‘ offers a free shuttle bus service running between Incheon International Airport Terminals 1 and 2 and the hotel itself. Please refer to the information provided below, but keep in mind that the schedule may change. For the most current information about the shuttle service, always check directly with the hotel.

When I directly contacted the hotel for inquiry, they informed me that hotel guests who wish to use the complimentary airport shuttle bus must make a reservation in advance, and the available shuttle bus times are as per the table above. The limited selection of times was somewhat disappointing. If you wish to use the shuttle bus outside of the schedule shown above, you will need to request it from the hotel and it appears there will be a fee (25,000 KRW one-way for up to 7 people).

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 $34 when booking through ‘agoda’.

7.2. Price Comparison via ‘Sky Scanner’

The lowest price on ‘Sky Scanner’ is $40 for a 1-night stay when booking through ‘Trip.com’.

7.3. Price Comparison via ‘Trivago’

The lowest price on ‘Trivago’ is $79 for a 1-night stay when booking through ‘Hotels.com’.

7.4. Official Website of ‘Ocean Soleview Hotel‘

I also explored prices directly from the ‘Ocean Soleview Hotel‘ official website. The lowest price on the official website was KRW 80,000. When I applied the exchange rate at the time of inquiry, which was KRW 1,305.1 per dollar, to KRW 80,000, it came out to be approximately USD 61.3.

Our analysis reveals that out of all four sites considered, ‘Hotels Combined’ offers the best deal at USD 34 for a stay at the ‘Ocean Soleview Hotel’ when booking through ‘Agoda’. 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!”
