Hotel The Designers Incheon

The location was convenient enough for where I needed to go and what I needed to do. My room was not clean. Hair on the bathroom floor from a previous guest. Toilet paper hadn't been replaced and no extra roll in the room. Mold all over the shower tiles. There is a second sink and shower heads that don't work. The layout of the room is strange and does not maximize space. Tile floors are cold and not very cozy or comfortable. The tub next to the bed is odd. The window doesn't open all the way (strange sliding doors cover the window). Bed was dirty. Sheets stained. Uncomfortable mattress. A condom was included in the bathroom kit, so maybe I just didn't realize what kind of hotel I booked. Way overpriced.

The floor in the room was tile, cleaner than carpet. Location was far from airport, transportation was not available like it says. I arrived late and was told to get a taxi by hotel staff. But when I checked out after one night, was told transport was only available when you stay three nights or more, and that was not stipulated. Breakfast was terrible. Food didn’t have labels, and I have an allergy to shellfish, so I was very careful. I just had toast and coffee. Selection was very limited, food was not fresh looking.

The hotel is in a very convenient location. It is right next to coffee shops, GS25, 7-Eleven, E-Mart, and other small stores, which made everything very easy. There is also a bus stop nearby, which was very helpful. The metro station is about a 15-minute walk away — a bit far, but still manageable. The washing machine is free to use, which was great. You just need to buy a one-time detergent packet. That was very convenient for longer stays. One challenge was that some staff members do not speak English, so it was difficult when we asked to have our room cleaned. After that, we used Google Translate to avoid misunderstandings, which helped. The atmosphere of the hotel felt more like a place for couples — the lighting is quite dim and the overall vibe seems more suited for a romantic stay. Because of that, I personally felt it was not the most ideal place to stay with a child. The room temperature was inconsistent — sometimes cold — and there were no clear instructions on how to adjust the heating, which made it uncomfortable at times. Also, room service appeared to be available only for native Korean guests, which made us feel a bit uncomfortable when we wanted to order food to our room. Overall, the location and laundry facilities were strong positives, but communication and family-friendliness could be improved.
