3. Showcasing Top-tier Reviews from Korean Guests
Being situated in South Korea, it’s no surprise that ‘Sky Top Hotel‘ plays host to a significant number of Korean guests. In my quest for understanding guest experiences, I’ve come across a plethora of reviews penned by Koreans. Allow me to share some of these standout reviews with you.
3.1. Best Review: “Recommended Hotel Near Incheon Airport 🛫: Skytop Hotel, Just a 5-Minute Walk from Unseo Station”
Summary of the Blog Post
When I have to go to Incheon Airport early in the morning, I always go the day before and stay overnight. This time, I stayed at the Skytop Hotel near Unseo Station. The Skytop Hotel was selected due to its clean officetel-style and close proximity to the airport. I used the Yanolja app to book a room for 60,000 KRW at a check-in time of 20:00.
Upon arriving at the hotel, I parked on the 3rd basement level and checked in myself. My room was 2402, and after getting my key card, I moved to the room. The room had the vibe of an officetel corridor, but it was clean and pleasant. The room was equipped with a double bed, TV, amenity box, coffee pot, instant coffee, and tea bags.
The sink was outside, and the bathroom was equipped with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The WiFi information was stuck on the entrance door. There was also a terrace where I could enjoy the night air, but I immediately closed it because it was hot. It was worth spending a night for 60,000 KRW.

5. Distance and Travel Time to Incheon Airport
As highlighted earlier, the ‘Sky Top 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: 11 km, 14 minutes
Green Circle: Hotel / Red Circle: Incheon International Airport Terminal 1
The ‘Sky Top Hotel‘ is located just 11 km away from Terminal 1, and the car journey takes approximately 14 minutes.
5.2. From the Hotel to Incheon International Airport Terminal 2: 12 km, 14 minutes
Green Circle: Hotel / Red Circle: Incheon International Airport Terminal 2

6. Free Shuttle Bus Schedule (to/from Incheon Airport Terminal 1 & 2)
The ‘Sky Top 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.
Telephone: +82-1599-6621
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 $42.
7.2. Price Comparison via ‘Sky Scanner’
The ‘Sky Scanner’ did not list any available rooms for this hotel.
7.3. Price Comparison via ‘Trivago’
Unfortunately, I was unable to find the ‘Sky Top Hotel’ on ‘Trivago’.
7.4. Official Website of ‘Sky Top Hotel‘
Although the ‘Sky Top Hotel’ does not have an official website, it offers reservation services through ‘Naver’, a leading internet platform in Korea. The lowest price confirmed on Naver was 75,000 KRW, which equates to $57.4 when converted using the current exchange rate of 1305.1 KRW per dollar.
Our analysis reveals that out of all four sites considered, ‘Hotels Combined’ offers the best deal at USD 42 for a stay at the ‘Sky Top Hotel’. 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 ‘Sky Top Hotel’, seen through a distinctly Korean lens.
