Most flights into Korea land in the morning.
Hotel check-in is usually 3pm.
That leaves five or six hours.
You have been in a narrow seat all night,
you are pulling a suitcase,
and the city is still unfamiliar.
Someone who came straight off the plane
We just landed in Korea last night, and coming here was the best decision. I feel so relaxed.J*********** · 쉼라운지 홍대점 · google
They landed the night before and came here the next morning.
We had a wonderful time at Sheem Lounge and were able to relax after a long flight. Booking was easy, and everything was well explained.T***** · 쉼라운지 홍대점 · google
A review left in French says the same thing:
they could unwind after a long flight, and booking was easy.
A premium room at the Hongdae location, with the show projected across the wall
The airport train stops here
Hongik University Station connects to Incheon Airport with no transfer.
You come straight from arrivals,
rest, then go on to your accommodation.
Not dragging luggage through transfers matters on day one.
Your suitcase stays with you
There is no locker to find.
The suitcase rolls into the room,
and you close your eyes with it beside you.
No Korean needed
This place is very foreigner-friendly. Easy to access, easy to pay, and very nice facilities! I will definitely come back.M*********** · 쉼라운지 홍대점 · google
The lounge is unstaffed, so there is no counter conversation.
Booking and payment happen online,
and you enter with a code.
Nothing in the flow requires Korean.
The booking screen and this magazine are available in Korean, English, Japanese, Chinese and French.
If you are jet-lagged
Two hours is enough to straighten out and wake up.
Enough to start the day.
Three or four hours and you actually sleep.
Better if you came on a night flight.
Open 24 hours and unstaffed, so a dawn arrival works too.

Nothing to bring
