Small tip: when you first enter you will see two elevators. In a jet lagged state you might not notice that there's a third elevator behind you. I wondered why the elevator wasn't coming and that's because the one behind me was waiting patiently for me for about 5 minutes. The hotel was very easy to reach from the airport as its located directly on the all stop train line above Hongik University station and close to line 2 which provides easy access to the rest of Seoul. Exit 5 is clearly marked so the hotel entrance is easy to find. It is also situated directly above a shopping mall and convenience store so it was very easy to get food and drinks and I used the Wow Pass machine in the lobby to get a Korean debit card and T-Money card for transportation. There were international plug sockets next to the bed so I didn't need to bring a travel adapter. The free buffet breakfast starts as early as 6:30am and had a good selection of asian and western food choices. Cereals, fruits, bread, scrambled egg, bacon, sausages, fries, spring rolls, samosas, rice and noodles were all delicious. Some of the items are rotated so it's not always the same selection each day.

I like the breakfast is included, but there was one day when everyone seemed to arrive at the same time, around 9am. As a result, we had to wait in a queue for 10 to 15 minutes, and a lot of the food had already run out. However, the chefs did refill the dishes, even past the official closing time of 9:30am. I really like how the hotel is conveniently located right above a metro station, and it's on the airport line, making it easy to travel to both Incheon and Gimpo Airports. There's also a lift at Exit 5, which is really helpful when you have may suitcases. The room is spacious. I appreciated the complimentary water bottles placed in our room each day.

The hotel sits above a shopping mall and is very near to the popular Hongdae shopping street with plenty to see, shop and eat, yet far enough from the hustle and bustle to offer a quiet accommodation. It is also next to the Hongik University subway station, which is connected directly to many tourist attractions like Myeongdong (6 stops), Dongdaemun (9 stops), Gangnam, COEX Mall and Lotte World. The express bus from the Incheon airport stops along the main road outside the hotel (airport train to Hongik is not recommended as the station is only served by the all-stop train and not express train).

I love to stay at Sono Calm Goyang. It was lovely stay. Hotel room is OK not too big but bed is comfortable. Breakfast was good !! Staffs are so friendly and helpful. just that the location is super nice !! walking distance to Hongdae fashion & restaurants street. We used metro to go to everywhere. Down stairs of hotel, there is AK Plaza and a convenient store and a few restaurants. Overall we are very satisfied with staying at this hotel. There is coin Laundry at 16F which is very convenient. There is Airport Railroad metro station right below of hotel. We just love this hotel.
