Anook Signature Hotel Incheon Guwol

The environment is clean, but the location is a bit inconvenient. There's no place to buy disposable slippers nearby. The subway station is about 200 meters away. Overall, it's okay, but it takes 2 hours to get to the city center.

The service from Koreans always leaves me feeling subtly uncomfortable, and I can't quite put my finger on why. This is especially true for the night shift, where the foreign-looking Caucasian staff member was very rude. I've felt this general discomfort throughout my stay in Korea these past few days. Compared to Japan, where people might smile insincerely, in Korea, even that superficial smile is absent. Of course, I did encounter many friendly Koreans on the streets. 1. The new hotel still has a lingering new smell. 2. The room is clean, and the location is convenient, about a 6-minute walk from the subway station. 3. It's quite far from Seoul's bustling tourist spots – this is Incheon, a different city altogether. While the subway is convenient, it takes a significant amount of time. There's a red book inside, I'm not sure if it's religious or something. The bathhouse stays open quite late, but it doesn't seem to be cleaned very frequently.

This hotel is incredibly far. It's an hour and a half by subway from the city center. I don't know why, but I've been to Korea countless times and always booked hotels without checking the location, and they were always in the city. This time, both hotels I booked are super far away. Lesson learned! I just realized how big Seoul is. I always thought it was small, so I never paid attention to the location. Putting the location aside, I was amazed when I arrived at the hotel. For this price and this environment, being a bit far isn't too bad! The hotel spa is also great. Downstairs, there are tons of restaurants, and right next door is a huge Homeplus with everything you could possibly want. There's also a small convenience store just a couple of steps from the hotel entrance. To the left of the hotel entrance, there's a really delicious squid restaurant, but the owner doesn't speak Chinese, so communication is difficult. However, the ingredients are very fresh, and the service is good. There's also a great grilled wagyu beef place nearby! Aside from the distance, it's perfect.

The hotel boasts an excellent location, just a five-minute walk from the subway station. Downstairs, you'll find a 7-Eleven and a FamilyMart convenience store, along with numerous restaurants and cafes. The hotel facilities are comprehensive, and the rooms are quite spacious. The front desk staff also have good English.

This is a great hotel, I really enjoyed it. There are also many delicious local Korean restaurants nearby. Taking a taxi to Seoul was quite affordable for three of us, and we had a very comfortable time. I was surprised by how much good food Incheon has – the raw fish, beef bone soup, and Jeju black pork were all incredibly satisfying! For housekeeping, you need to request it if you want your room cleaned daily. They also provide pajamas and slippers, which is very comfortable. Honestly, it's really good! ( ◜‿◝ )♡
