去る7月のグランドハイアット仁川の滞在記です。
== Introduction/初めに ==
I stayed at this hotel for one night, from July 9 to 10. This time I went to Malaysia with Singapore Airlines of Incheon ticketing. I made a stopover at Incheon on return trip and take a Korean Air flight to Fukuoka on the way to back home, so I decided to stay in this hotel near the airport. When looking at the various reviews that of a good reputation of this hotel, so I'd like to stay at once. I visited a Japanese version of Expedia in the end of June, they offered great deals, and the price is a total of 31,439 yen (about 29,5250 USD as of August 29, 2016) for a night. I booked immediately because I think it's absolutely cheapest offers.
7月9日から10日まで1泊しました。今回は仁川発券のシンガポール航空でマレーシアへ。帰りは1泊し翌日夕方の大韓航空便で帰国予定だったので、空港から近くて便利なこのホテルに泊まることに。各種口コミを見ているとここのホテルの評判がよいとのことで一度は泊まって見たいと思い、6月末にExpedia(エクスペディア)で1泊計31,439円という特割セールがあったので早速予約を入れました。
==Rooms/部屋==
I stayed at the Grand deluxe king on the 16th floor of West Tower annex which has just opened in 2014. The room is more spacious, it's wider than I thought. It was a good point that there are two pillows provided to a king-size bed. I was easy to sleep in the bed.
泊まった部屋は2014年にオープンしたばかりのウエストタワー(新館)16階のグランドデラックスキングで、広くてとても快適に過ごせました。特に良かった点はキングサイズベッド1台に2つの枕があるので眠りやすかったです。
This is a view from the room. The East Tower main building on the left, E-Mart, Korea's largest supermarket chain, is in the center picture, and the Best Western Incheon Airport Hotel which I had stayed once in 2014, is on the right. This area has become the International Business Center, aka. IBC. There are many hotels and commercial facilities within the district.
部屋からの眺めはこんな感じです。左がイーストタワー(本館)、右がEマート、その奥が2014年に一度だけ泊まったことがあるベストウエスタンホテルです。このあたり一帯は国際業務団地となっていてホテルや商業施設が建ち並んでいます。
==Dinner Buffet/ディナービュッフェ==
The venue is a buffet restaurant called Cucina located on the first floor basement of the East Tower. Cucina means cooking in Italian. They have a variety of international food, such as Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Western etc.. The price is too high, they give me a charge of 88,000 Won! But I was very satisfied with their menu.
会場はイーストタワー1階にあるCucina(クーチナ、イタリア語で料理の意味)というビュッフェレストランです。お値段は88,000ウオンとかなり高いのですが、韓和洋中品数豊富に取り揃えていて大満足でした。
Friendly staff, and of course all of them speak fluent English. Some staff can speak Japanese. I met a friendly male staff at a front desk. He works as a bellboy, and I ask a question to him about my laundry pick up. I told him that I want to deliver my washing clothes to the room on the next day morning. But I couldn't still pick them up, so I asked him. He said to me "Is this your clothes?". I replied to him "Yes, it's mine". I have to say to him "Thanks".
スタッフは全般的に親切で、英語堪能な方ばかりで中には日本語を話せる方もいます。ランドリーサービスを担当してくれた男性は日本語上手な方で、翌朝に洗濯物を部屋に届けてほしいとお願いしたのですが、届いていなかったのでフロントで尋ねてみると「ここにありますよ」と言ってくれてとても助かりました。
==Others/その他==
イーストタワー1階のフロント横には大韓航空のチェックインカウンターがあって、毎日午前6時30分から午後1時30分まで営業しています。また同社の機内販売免税品であるスカイショップの直売店もあります。
==Conclusion/最後に==
Although it's the first time to book this hotel, I was very happy to stay there. I booked in the cheapest deal through Expedia. When I went to there, they gave me the nicest room on the 16th floor of the West Tower annex. The room was with a bathtub and bidet. It was a pleasant stay because the cleaning was in good condition. The only problem is I couldn't see the airport because it was the seaside. I'd like to stay again in the case of transit and ticketing in Incheon.
今回初めて宿泊してみましたが、各種口コミの評判どおり全般的に大満足でした。エクスペディアから最も安いプランで予約したのですがいざ現地に行ってみると新しいウエストタワーの16階の部屋に泊まれてよかったです。部屋にはバスタブやビデも付いていて、清掃も行き届いていたのでとても快適に過ごせました。ただひとつ残念だったのが海側だったので空港が見渡せなかったこと。また仁川乗り継ぎや発券のときはぜひ泊まってみたいです。
