Right around the corner from Myeongdong night market and shopping area. There’s also an Incheon shuttle bus that picks up 2 blocks from this hotel. The hotel itself is fair, nothing special but certainly does the trick.

Overall the hotel is quiet and clean close to subway and bus. I went during summer time the AC is not cool enough when you first return to the room. They did offer to send in a fan to help cool me down.
