Why guests love itI would pick Hwagok Dean for an affordable city stay, not for an early flight. It is a 3-star budget hotel with essential amenities, and guests rate it 7 out of 10 across 13 reviews, a small sample. The listing puts public transport to Gimpo International Airport at just over an hour, so I would leave generous time on departure day.
