Incheon Airport's Hidden Gem: Hue House Double Room (G) - Your Perfect Stay!
Hue House Double Room (G) at Incheon Airport: My Honest, Messy, & Ultimately Loving Review (Because Seriously, Airport Hotels Can Be Rough!)
Okay, buckle up, Buttercups, because I'm about to spill the tea (or maybe the complimentary green tea, knowing Hue House) on my experience at Hue House Double Room (G) at Incheon Airport. Let me preface this by saying… airport hotels? They're a gamble. You’re usually trading comfort for convenience. But this one… this one actually surprised me. Not perfect, mind you. Nothing ever is. But it almost made me enjoy a layover. Almost.
First Impressions & Getting There: Accessibility & The Dreaded Elevator
Okay, full disclosure, I'm not in a wheelchair, but I am a klutz. And navigating an airport after a 14-hour flight? Forget about it. Hue House scores well here. The airport itself is incredibly accessible, and the hotel is super close – a huge win when you're battling jet lag and the urge to just… melt onto the nearest bench. The website promises “Facilities for disabled guests,” which is reassuring for anyone needing that. I didn't personally test the elevator, but it looked accessible, wide enough, and actually… present. You’d be surprised how many hotels forget that little detail! (Seriously, have you seen some of those tiny airport elevators?! Nightmare fuel.)
Cleanliness & Safety: The "Germaphobe's Delight" Factor (Almost)
Let's get real: airports breed germs. And COVID? Still a thing. Hue House understood the assignment. The whole place felt… clean. Not just "clean enough," but properly scrubbed. They proudly boast about "Anti-viral cleaning products" and "Daily disinfection in common areas." I saw staff actively cleaning frequently touched surfaces constantly. Big thumbs up! They also had "Hand sanitizer" stations everywhere, which, as someone who secretly sanitizes everything I touch, made my little germaphobe heart sing. And the room? Spotless. Like, "I could eat off the floor" spotless (though, let's be honest, I didn't). They offer "Room sanitization opt-out available," which is a cool eco-friendly touch. The “Individually-wrapped food options” in the mini-bar were a nice detail for keeping things extra safe. They also had "Safe dining setup" at the restaurant.
My Room: Double Room (G) – The Good, the Bad, & the Slightly Weird
Okay, the Double Room. It was comfy. Like, proper, collapse-onto-the-bed-and-forget-your-life comfy. They claim “Soundproof rooms,” and honestly, you couldn’t hear the roar of the planes, which is miraculous. The “Blackout curtains” were a lifesaver after a long haul flight. I loved the "Extra long bed," because I am tall and hate beds where my feet stick out. And the "Coffee/tea maker" was a godsend. (Let's just say my first cup of coffee was chugged down like water.) There was "Free Wi-Fi" (hallelujah!), and thankfully it worked perfectly. I found "Desk" and "Laptop workspace" very practical. The "Air conditioning" worked a treat.
Now for the slightly less perfect bits. The bathroom was… functional. The water pressure was decent, the "Toiletries" were basic, and there was a "Hair dryer" (thank goodness). But it wasn’t exactly a spa. Also, the "Mirror" in the main room felt a little… lonely. Like, I was staring at it and suddenly felt like I was the only person in the world. But hey, maybe that was the jet lag talking.
There was a "Safe box" and "Safety/security feature" which put my mind at ease. It all felt a bit… efficient, rather than luxurious.
Let's Talk Food! Dining, Drinking & Snacking: The Buffet Battleground
Okay, the food situation. This is where things get interesting. Hue House does have a restaurant. It offers "Asian breakfast", "Western breakfast", and everything in between. There is a "Buffet in restaurant" (yay!), and a "Breakfast [buffet]" (double yay!). The food was… okay. The "Coffee/tea in restaurant" was decent, there was a "Bar" and "Poolside bar" (huzzah!), and I may or may not have indulged in a small "Happy hour." The "Desserts in restaurant" were pretty good. I appreciated the "Vegetarian restaurant" options.
My only beef? The buffet itself. It felt a little… chaotic. Like, a battleground of tired travelers vying for the last croissant. But again, it’s an airport hotel. You’re not expecting Michelin-star dining. And the "Breakfast takeaway service" was handy when I was running late for my flight!
Services & Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
Hue House actually nails the "Services & Conveniences" game. They have "Daily housekeeping," a godsend when you are away from home. The "Front desk [24-hour]" was staffed by friendly, helpful people. The "Concierge" was useful. They offered "Laundry service," which I didn’t utilize but appreciate the option. There's a "Convenience store" for those midnight snack cravings. There's even a "Cash withdrawal" machine! They offer "Food delivery" options. "Luggage storage" is offered. They have a "Car park [free of charge]" if you drive (bonus!). They offer "Airport transfer" which is essential!
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: A Bit Sparse, But Understandable
Let's be honest: you're probably there just to sleep. Hue House isn't exactly a resort. There is a "Gym/fitness," I didn't use it but, hey, it's there. No "Swimming pool" which is a shame, but I understand. There is a "Sauna" and "Spa/sauna," which is a nice touch to de-stress.
For the Kids: Limited, But Not Terrible
This one isn't really relevant to me, but I did see a few families. They have "Babysitting service," which is good. They claim to be "Family/child friendly," and there are "Kids facilities" which is useful.
My Overall Experience: The Verdict (With a Side of Honest Rambling)
Listen, airport hotels… they’re a necessary evil. They’re usually sterile, overpriced, and barely worth the money. But Hue House? It surprised me. It was clean, comfortable, and convenient. Yes, the food was chaotic (the buffet!), and the room wasn't a palace. But honestly? After a long flight, all I wanted was a decent bed, a hot shower, and a strong coffee. And Hue House delivered.
Quirky Observation: I spent way too much time staring at the "Slippers" provided in the room. They were fluffy. They were comforting. They were the perfect antidote to the soul-crushing fluorescent lights of the airport terminal. I almost stole them. Almost.
My Emotional Reaction: I arrived tired, cranky, and dreading my layover. I left feeling… surprisingly refreshed. I'd absolutely stay there again. It's not perfect, but for an airport hotel, it's a solid win.

Subject: Incheon & Hue House: Operation Don't Mess Up Everything (Again!)
Day 1: Seoul-Bound Chaos (and the Glorious Illusion of "Relaxation")
- 6:00 AM (ish): Wake up, immediately regret all life choices. Also, the alarm didn't go off, which is fantastic. Scramble to pack those last few items – probably forgetting something crucial like a toothbrush or, you know, underpants. I swear, I always do this. My brain feels like scrambled eggs, which, ironically, is the only breakfast I'm aiming for (and probably burning) before the airport trek.
- 7:00 AM: Taxi to the airport. Pray the traffic gods are in a good mood. Mentally rehearse all the Korean phrases I should know but probably won't remember, especially the all-important "Where is the bathroom?" (I'm prone to needing it).
- 8:30 AM: Arrive at Incheon (fingers crossed it's not a total zoo). Check-in. Stand in line (endlessly). Fight the urge to judge the baggage allowance choices of the people near me. My suitcase? Overpacked, naturally. Expecting a weight surcharge. Grumble inwardly.
- 9:30 AM: Security. Take off shoes. Deal with the utter mortification of having to empty my pockets because I somehow always forget to do it. (Keys, coins, gum wrapper – the usual.)
- 10:00 AM: Okay, now the real fun begins. Find the gate, and then the actual gate because I always walk around the airport like a lost puppy.
- 11:00 AM (ish): On the plane! Yay! Try to breathe, but I always feel a bit claustrophobic during the take-off. The person next to me has a loud cough. Sigh.
- 13:00 PM: Land in Incheon! Huge sigh of relief (did not crash the plane). Follow the crowd toward immigration. Remind myself I need to look human.
- 14:00 PM: Immigration. Get through OK! But the immigration officer looked at my passport strangely. Note: I'm pretty sure I haven't committed any crimes. (Probably.)
- 14:30 PM: Baggage claim. Pray to the luggage gods that my suitcase made it. It did! Victory!
- 15:00 PM: Find the AREX train, navigate the glorious chaos that is Incheon Airport, and figure out how to buy a T-money card (I'll fumble with this).
- 16:00 PM: Arrive at the Hue House (cross fingers it is easily found and that it's actually the Hue House). The website showed a nice place, but you never know! Hopefully, this double room G is as clean as it looks in the pictures. Check in.
- 16:30 PM: Drop off my luggage, inspect the room, and decide if the bed looks inviting enough for an immediate nap. The answer, probably, is yes.
- 17:00 PM: Decide, bravely, that I will not give in to nap temptation. Search for nearby food locations that are not just the airport food chains.
- 19:00 PM: This is where it gets messy. Wandering around the neighborhood, getting lost, and hopefully, finding some authentic Korean food. Perhaps some bibimbap or maybe some tteokbokki (I love the spicy stuff).
- 20:00 PM: Evening walk. This is what I love. Soak in the atmosphere, people watch, and revel in the feeling of finally being in Korea!
- 21:00 PM: Back to the Hue House. Try to sleep. Get kept up by the jet lag. Curse my inability to sleep on planes. And the loud coughing again.
Day 2: Incheon's Wonders (and The Eternal Quest for Coffee)
7:00 AM: Wake up. Probably not feeling rested. Sigh again.
8:00 AM: Attempt (and probably botch) a Korean breakfast at a local café. Embrace the cultural difference. (Maybe I'll order something I can't identify; that sounds like a good time.)
9:30 AM: Explore the immediate area. Incheon isn't just an airport, supposedly. Check out a local market. (If Google can be trusted, this is a good idea). Practice those Korean phrases I've been meaning to learn. Fail spectacularly. Laugh at myself.
11:00 AM: Decent idea. The Incheon International Airport's Museum. Immerse in the art! Pretend to be cultured!
13:00 PM: Lunch. Find a restaurant. Get utterly confused by the menu. Point at something and hope for the best. (This is my travel strategy in a nutshell).
14:00 PM: Stroll through another park.
15:00 PM: Back to the room. Coffee break (I'm perpetually in search of good coffee. It's a survival strategy).
16:00 PM: This is where the real adventure begins. Maybe I'll venture out towards the coast nearby.
17:00 PM: Explore local shops. Buy weird souvenirs (because, well, it's a skill).
18:00 PM: Dinner time: maybe try some local BBQ. Burn my tongue. That's probably a given.
19:00 PM: Evening walk.
20:00 PM: Relax in the room. Write in my travel journal (or, you know, try). It's already a mess.
21:00 PM: Try to sleep. Fail. Worry about tomorrow.
Random Observation: Koreans seem to be incredibly good at carrying things. Like, mountains of groceries. I am deeply impressed.
Emotional Reaction: I'm already feeling a mix of excitement and utter exhaustion. This is totally normal. I'm also slightly scared of the food.
Day 3: Airport Farewell (and the Bitter Taste of Leaving)
7:00 AM: Wake up. Definitely not feeling rested.
8:00 AM: Eat breakfast. (Probably the last of the weird food I'll eat.)
9:00 AM: Check out of the Hue House. Say goodbye to my cozy little Double Room G. (I hope it was as nice as I remember!)
10:00 AM: Head back to Incheon Airport.
11:00 AM: Shop for last-minute souvenirs. Spend way too much money on things I don't need. This is inevitable.
12:00 AM: Lunch at the airport. Grab some last-minute Korean fare.
13:00 PM: Head through security.
14:00 PM: Board the plane.
Emotional Reaction: A bittersweet mix of relief and sadness. Happy to go home, but always a little heartbroken to leave.
(The End… Or at least, the End of this Messy Itinerary)
Caveats:
- This is not a detailed guide. It is a suggestion of what I might do. Spontaneity is key. And I'm terrible with planning.
- Reality will likely involve more naps, more getting lost, and more moments of sheer, unadulterated bewilderment.
- Embrace the chaos!
- Learn a few basic Korean phrases. They'll make your life easier (and probably amuse the locals).
- Don't be afraid to get lost. That's where the best adventures happen.
- Most importantly: Have Fun!
This is MY trip. May yours be less scattered and more enjoyable. (But hey, who am I to judge?) Just try to enjoy yourself, even if you're as clueless as I am. Good luck!
