Incheon Airport's Hidden Gem: Hue House Double Room B - Your Perfect Stay!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into Hue House Double Room B at Incheon Airport – The Hidden Gem…or is it? Look, I'm no travel blogger, I'm just a regular person who hates airport layovers. And this place… well, it's got its quirks, but it might just save your sanity (and your wallet) from the purgatory of gate-side boredom.
First Impressions: Accessibility & Getting There (Or Not, Really)
Okay, let's be brutally honest: getting to Hue House isn't quite as seamless as the marketing photos imply. Accessibility? Technically there's an elevator and they claim to have facilities for disabled guests, but I didn't personally witness them - so ask for details beforehand. Airport transfer? YES! Huge plus! After a 14-hour flight, the last thing you want is to wrestle with public transport. The included transfer was a godsend (even if the driver did look like he'd rather be anywhere else). BUT, and this is a big but, finding the meeting point…was a mini-adventure. A little unclear, a little frantic, but ultimately, we made it. And that, my friends, is half the battle.
Room Review: Double Room B - The Good, the Bad, and the OMG (Mostly Good)
We booked the Double Room B. Here's the lowdown, unvarnished:
Available in all rooms: Additional toilet, Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathroom phone, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens.
- The Good: The Wi-Fi (free!) was blazing fast – a lifeline for a workaholic like me. The blackout curtains! Praise be! They completely shut out the airport's relentless daylight, allowing me to actually get some sleep. The extra long bed was a HUGE plus. I'm a tall person, and I can't stand being cramped at night, I can tell you, they really care about the comfort. Also, the complimentary bottled water was a much appreciated bonus.
- The Bad: Let's get this out of the way: it's not the Ritz. It felt a bit "lived-in." The carpet looked like it had seen a few too many rolling suitcases, but hey, it's an airport hotel, not a palace.
- The OMG: The separate shower/bathtub experience. There's a luxurious feeling when you have the possibility to have a hot bath, although I didn't. I was feeling so tired!
Cleanliness & Safety: Germs Beware!
This is where Hue House really scored points, especially post-pandemic. Rooms sanitized between stays. They take this seriously. Anti-viral cleaning products, check. Daily disinfection in common areas, check. Hand sanitizer everywhere. I felt genuinely safe, which is a HUGE relief when you’re navigating crowded airports. Also, the staff is super nice and knowledgeable, trained in safety protocol is another fantastic point.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking:
Listen, I'm not expecting a Michelin-starred experience. However…
- * Restaurants are the name of the game for a traveler, and I'm glad to tell you there are several options that are open all day.
- Asian cuisine in restaurant: Yes, you can have delicious food, and that makes the trip better
- Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, is something I am always looking for
- Bar, which is very helpful!
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter (or Don't)
Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Daily housekeeping, Elevator, Ironing service, Luggage storage, and Safe deposit boxes: All present, all useful. I didn't use the dry cleaning or laundry service because, let's be honest, who really does laundry on a layover?
Things to Do (Because You’re Trapped):
Okay, so Hue House isn’t exactly a spa resort. You could order massage though. Internet access - you are covered.
For the Kids:
I didn't experience this firsthand, but they claim to be Family/child friendly.
Final Verdict & Shameless Plug:
Okay, here’s the truth: Hue House Double Room B isn't going to win any design awards. It's basic, it's functional, and it's a hell of a lot better than spending your layover slumped in a plastic airport chair.
Here's My Offer for You:

Trip Title: "Lost in Translation (and Possibly My Socks) – Incheon Airport & Beyond"
Day 1: Arrival (and the Existential Dread of Baggage Claim)
- Time: 07:00 AM (give or take a transatlantic delay)
- Event: Arrive at Incheon International Airport (ICN). God, I hate airports. Always the same ritual: that hollow feeling of being displaced in time and space, the fluorescent lights buzzing like angry wasps, the desperate hunt for a decent coffee.
- Emotional Reaction: Mild panic attack. Did I remember to pack my passport? Did anyone tell Immigration I was coming? The whole world seems to be moving faster than me.
- Ancillary Detail: Note to self: Must invest in compression socks. My ankles are screaming.
- Time: 07:30 AM (ish)
- Event: Baggage claim. The human conveyor belt of tired travelers, the circling vultures eyeing unclaimed suitcases.
- Quirky Observation: Why is it that everyone seems to have a suitcase larger than a small refrigerator? And is that my suitcase? No, that's just a generic black rectangle… wait. YES! It's the one with the slightly busted zipper.
- Anecdote: Spent a frantic five minutes thinking my suitcase was lost. Turns out, it was just on a different carousel. My life flashed before my eyes, and it was mostly me, rummaging through a suitcase of someone else's vacation clothing. The indignity!
- Time: 08:15 AM
- Event: Navigate airport chaos: finding the AREX train (the airport express line), purchasing a T-money card (magic plastic for public transport), and generally failing to look like I know what I'm doing.
- Opinionated Language: WHY are all the signs in Korean? The English translations are often cryptic and confusing. Seriously, who designed this? Does this train actually go to Seoul?
- Emotional Reaction: A sudden and overwhelming wave of loneliness. Feeling like a small, insignificant cog in a giant, whirring machine. This is what they call CULTURE SHOCK? Give me time to breathe!
- Time: 10:00 AM (give or take a few wrong turns)
- Event: Arrive at Hue House (Double Room B).
- Event: Check-in. They speak English! Praise be!
- Ancillary Detail: Room is small, but clean. That's all I really need. At least, it doesn't look like a dungeon.
- Emotional Reaction: Relief. Pure, unadulterated relief. Also, a desperate need for food.
- Time: 10:30 AM - 12:00 AM
- Event: THE FOOD! Oh, the food. Stumble out of Hue House. In a daze, I find a tiny Korean street food stall. The aroma is incredible! I point. I gesture. I eat. Is that kimchi? Yes. Is it spicy? Oh yes. But it is also glorious. I eat three servings. My tongue is on fire, but my soul is happy.
- Opinionated Language: Whoever invented Korean food deserves a Nobel Prize. Seriously. The flavors are an explosion of textures and flavors that will blow your mind. It's intense, authentic, and it's exactly what my weary travel-weary soul needed.
- Messy Structure & Rambles: The stall owner must have thought I was insane. I kept pointing at things, giggling, and babbling semi-coherent praise. She just smiled and poured me more water. The whole experience felt very…Korean. Very real. I almost started to cry from sheer joy. That kimchi, though…
- Time: 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM
- Event: Nap. Blissful, glorious nap (in the tiny double room). Jet lag is a cruel mistress.
- Emotional Reaction: Utter, blissful nothingness. A brief vacation from reality.
- Quirky Observation: Apparently, I snore. A lot. Woke myself up.
- Time: 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM
- Event: Explore the local Incheon area. Maybe a park. Maybe a cafe. Mostly wander around in a daze, taking in the sights.
- Anecdote: Got lost. Again. Asked for directions. Got even more confused. Managed to find a 24-hour convenience store and bought a bottle of water.
- Ancillary Detail: Note to self: Learn some basic Korean phrases. "Where is the bathroom?" "More kimchi, please." "Help me, I am hopelessly lost."
- Time: 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
- Event: Dinner. More food. This time, a slightly more "Westernized" Korean restaurant. Still delicious.
- Quirky Observation: The Korean obsession with spicy things is real. My stomach is slightly rebelling, but I'm not complaining. I may be a masochist.
- Time: 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
- Event: Back to Hue House, shower (the tiny double room's shower is quite effective), and attempt to watch some Korean TV.
- Emotional Reaction: Overwhelmed. Too many characters. Too much to take in. Sleep time!
- Opinionated Language: I can't understand a word, but the acting is fantastic! The costumes are beautiful! The drama is intense!
- Time: 9:00 PM
- Event: Sleep. The sweet, sweet release of sleep.
- Stronger emotional reactions: My head hits the pillow. This whole day felt like a dream. I could get used to this.
- Messy Structure & Rambles: I can’t WAIT to see what Day 2 brings!
- End of Day 1
Day 2 (and Beyond): To be continued (…probably with more kimchi and disorientation)
This is just the beginning. Expect more tales of culinary adventures, language barriers, near-disasters, and the constant dance between awe and utter bewilderment. This is not a trip; it's a process. Wish me luck! And maybe send help (or more kimchi).
