Line Plus Hotel Gimpo: Your Dream Korean Getaway Awaits!
Line Plus Hotel Gimpo: My Korean Getaway That Was… Actually Pretty Great! (And Here's Why)
Okay, so, "Your Dream Korean Getaway Awaits!" is a big claim, right? I mean, expectations are high. But after a recent stay at the Line Plus Hotel Gimpo, I have to say… it actually delivered, in ways I wasn't expecting. It wasn't perfection – let's be real, life's never perfect, and neither are hotels – but it was a very solid experience, one I'm happy to tell you about.
First things first: Accessibility. Now, I don't personally need wheelchair accessibility (thank heavens) but I always check for it. Line Plus gets a thumbs up here! They've got facilities for disabled guests, an elevator, and I saw ramps everywhere. That's a huge win in my book. It's important to know everyone can enjoy a good getaway, and this hotel gets that.
Getting Around: I didn't use their airport transfer, but the option's there – which is super convenient. They've got a car park (free, which is HUGE!), on-site, and even a car power charging station. Plus, if you're feeling lazy (like me, sometimes), they offer valet parking and taxi service.
Rooms: The Good, The Great, and The "Where's My Coffee?": Let's dive in. I stayed in a non-smoking room. The Air conditioning? Blissful. Blackout curtains? Essential. I'm a light sleeper, and these saved my sanity. But there’s always some bit of “is-it-me-or” that nags. Like, the Linens? Super comfy. The Seating area? Cozy. The Coffee/tea maker? Well, it was there, but for the life of me, I couldn't figure out the instructions on the… thing. I mean, is it just me, or are hotel coffee makers sometimes designed by sadists? I ended up just using the complimentary tea. Which, by the way? Delightful. They also offer an extra long bed, which is a sweet bonus for tall people. And the bathroom? Clean, with a proper shower (none of those flimsy showerheads that barely dribble water). The bathrobes? Luxurious! And the slippers? I’m probably going to have to steal some hotel slippers on my next trip.
Internet, Glorious Internet: Okay, this is important in this day and age. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Yes! I could update my Instagram with all the cheesy pics of my visit. They also have Internet access – LAN but who uses that these days? (Okay, maybe some people do. I'm a visual learner.) I also noticed Wi-Fi in public areas. So yeah, internet = covered.
Cleanliness and Safety: Now, this is where Line Plus really shines, especially given the current climate. I felt safe. They are doing EVERYTHING right. They have the Hand sanitizer everywhere, a first aid kit, and they’re constantly Daily disinfection in common areas. Plus, they used anti-viral cleaning products and professional-grade sanitizing services. You can even opt out of room sanitization if you want. They have CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside the property, and 24-hour security and staff trained in safety protocols. Honestly, I didn’t worry about anything!
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (AKA My Favorite Part!): The food. Oh, the food! I'm a sucker for a good breakfast buffet, and Line Plus totally delivers. Asian breakfast alongside your usual Western breakfast fare. They had a Buffet in restaurant, which, yes, I overindulged in. They have restaurants that offer Asian cuisine in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, as well as Western cuisine in restaurant. I tried the Asian one, and the bibimbap was amazing, especially with some of their salad options. They even had a vegetarian restaurant, which is awesome for my friend who's a veggie. They have a coffee shop for a quick pick-me-up (essential!), and a snack bar. They also have a poolside bar for fun.
Ways to Relax (Because You Will Need It After Exploring Gimpo!): Let's talk about the fun stuff! I didn't get around to everything (time, you thief!), but the options are plentiful. They have a pool with a view (stunning!), a sauna, a steamroom, and massage services! I didn't want to miss out on anything exciting, so I went for a whole-body massage. It was just what I needed after a day of walking around. It's the perfect way to unwind.
Services and Conveniences (Because Life is Easier When Someone Does the Work): Daily housekeeping is essential. They also have laundry service (thank goodness, I tend to pack light and mess up). There's a convenience store (for those midnight snack cravings). They can also give you an invoice provided (very helpful for expenses), and even got a luggage storage. So I didn’t have to drag my suitcase all over the place before check-in.
For The Kids (And the Kid in You): I was travelling solo, but I noticed they're super family/child friendly. They have kids facilities and can arrange for babysitting service.
Things to Do (Beyond the Fantastic Food and Spa): Honestly, I came for the hotel, and planned on just relaxing. But the Line Plus Hotel is in a great location to access Gimpo! I felt like I could get around super easily!
My One Minor Grumble (Because Even Dream Getaways Have a Crack): The instructions on the coffee maker. Seriously. Someone needs to simplify those things!

Conrad Algarve: Algarve's Most Luxurious Escape? (You Won't Believe This!)
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into my meticulously un-planned adventure at the Line Plus Hotel in Gimpo, South Korea. Prepare yourself for a rollercoaster, because lord knows my travel plans are more "suggestion" than actual itinerary.
Day 1: Gimpo, Here We Come (Maybe?)
1:00 PM: Arrival - Gimpo Airport: "Oh, Look, a Giant Airplane!"
Okay, let's be honest, after a red-eye from wherever-the-hell-I-was-before, I was a MESS. Didn't sleep a wink. My hair looked like a bird nested in it, and I'm pretty sure my breath could curdle milk. Gimpo Airport? Shiny, modern, and…surprisingly quiet. Thank god for the sheer novelty of seeing a REAL airplane. (Don't judge. I live in a place where the biggest form of transport is a rusty old bicycle).
1:30 PM: Check-in - Line Plus Hotel (Oh, the Anticipation!)
Hotel check-in. Sigh. Always a bit of a crapshoot. The staff was super smiley and helpful. I, on the other hand, was a walking zombie. My brain was basically scrambled eggs. Managed to bungle the pronunciation of everything at the front desk-- "Annyeonghaseyo" came out sounding like a dying walrus. Mortifying. But hey, a room! A bed! And hopefully, some sweet, sweet silence.
2:00 PM: Room Reconnaissance - "My Room: It's Not the Ritz (Thank God)"
The room! Clean, compact, and…well, it had a bed. And decent water pressure in the shower. Score! I nearly fell asleep INSTANTLY on the mattress. (No judgement again. Jet lag is a cruel mistress).
- Pro-Tip: Always check the toilet paper situation IMMEDIATELY. Learned this the hard way in a hostel in… well, never mind.
3:00 PM: Snack Attack - Convenience Store Glory
First order of business: Food. I am a bottomless pit when I travel. Wandered into a local 7-Eleven. Oh. My. God. The variety! Everything was new and exciting; the snacks and beverages, even what I thought I knew, came in vastly different flavors and packaging. And. The. Price. Point! It would have been rude not to experience it all, so I loaded up on what looked interesting, and some things I'd never seen before, including flavored milk and fish-shaped bread. I was a child again, completely overwhelmed but utterly delighted.
4:00 PM: Gimpo, Let's Get Lost (Hopefully Not Literally)
A quick walk around the hotel. It was a perfect day! I was excited at the sights and sounds. I just wanted to take it all in. So I went and walked to the local market. I wanted to try a local staple! I came across some fried dumplings. I looked at the person. I wanted to ask if they were good! But what if I can't understand her? I don't want to look like a complete idiot. Even so, I took a deep breath and thought to myself, "Here goes nothing!" I asked her in English if the food was good. Fortunately, she understood and told me it was good! I then asked her to get me one and gave her a smile and a thumbs-up to signal I liked the food. I thought to myself "I can do this!"
6:00 PM: Dinner - The Restaurant that had the Best Reviews on Google
I am usually very picky when it comes to food. But after the dumplings I felt like I could try anything! So I found a local restaurant that had stellar reviews on Google. And it did not disappoint! The food was amazing! The staff was very helpful and warm. It was the perfect end to a perfect day. I'm talking, the kind of food that makes you wanna hug a complete stranger and tell them how much you love life. Seriously. I ordered some dish that I couldn't even pronounce (thank goodness for pictures on the menu and a friendly waiter), and it was a flavor explosion in my mouth. Spicy, savory, and perfect. I wanted to stay all night!
8:00 PM: Bedtime - (Maybe) Lights Out
Back in my cozy little room. I told myself I would go to sleep early. But the bed was so inviting, and the thought of actually sleeping for 8 hours in a row… Well, I was sold!
Day 2: Exploration & (Maybe) Some Regret
8:00 AM: Breakfast - Hotel Buffet: "The Gluttony Begins!" The hotel buffet! Everything looked good! I ate way too much, of course. Coffee, pastries, and maybe a little bit of everything else! I left feeling both fantastic and vaguely guilty.
9:00 AM: Gimpo's Culture - Museums (Maybe) Or Random Wandering?
- The Truth: I'm supposed to go museum-hopping, but honestly? The thought of actual structure right now fills me with a kind of existential dread. Instead, I decide to wander.
- The Outcome: I took a detour via a cafe. It was cozy and inviting. I got a coffee. But I felt like I missed out on visiting the Museum. Should I have planned better? Should I check to see if I can squeeze the museum in the itinerary?
12:00 PM: Lunch - Finding Food (Again!)
- The Plan: "I'll find something authentic! Something local!"
- The Reality: The plan was quickly derailed because I got lost, and I was starving so I ate at the first place I found, which was not that great. Lesson learned: Trust your gut, and maybe download that translation app before you start running low on energy.
2:00 PM: Back to The Hotel - Nap Time?
I was exhausted. Back to the Hotel! I was thinking maybe I should take a nap. I have a lot of things to do. Should I go to the gym and work out? What I'll do later? But then… I had an epiphany: Screw the plan! I'm going to nap, and I'll figure the rest out later. So I took a nap!
6:00 PM: Dinner - Back to the Amazing Restaurant!
Why change what's perfect?
The food, the staff, everything was amazing! It was a great day!
8:00 PM: Lights Out (Maybe)
Same as yesterday. Except this time, I was thinking less and more, and more about the fact that I'm living my best life!
Day 3: Departure & The Grand Finale (Maybe)
9:00 AM: Breakfast (Again!) - "I swear, I'll make it to the gym tomorrow!"
Yup. More buffet. More regret (later). But hey, it’s vacation.
10:00 AM : Departure - "Until Next Time, Gimpo!"
Checking out was easy. My flight was delayed, but hey, some things never changed. I waited for my flight, and I thought to myself. "What a trip!" I made new friends! I ate new things! I am ready to come back!
Final Thoughts & Ramblings:
Line Plus Hotel? Solid. Clean. Convenient. Gimpo? Surprisingly charming. Food? Absolutely incredible. Would I recommend this trip? Absolutely! Did everything go according to plan? Hah! Of course not. Did I have a blast anyway? You bet your sweet Bippy! Remember folks, sometimes the best adventures are the ones you don't plan. Embrace the chaos! Get lost! Eat weird stuff! And most importantly, don't be afraid to look like a total idiot. You'll have a way better story to tell.
And on that note… I'm off to bed. Jet lag is a beast, you know.
Later, Gimpo! You magnificent, messy, delicious city. I will be back. Someday. (Maybe.)

Line Plus Hotel Gimpo: Your Dream Korean Getaway Awaits! (…Maybe?) FAQs
Okay, Seriously, Is This Place ACTUALLY good? I saw some...pictures.
Alright, let's be real. The website photos? Polished. The reality?… well, it depends on your expectations. I’m going to give you the *real* deal, and yeah, the pictures sometimes might look a *little* deceiving if you are expecting the ultimate luxury. I wanted a quick getaway, something easy to get to from Seoul, and hey, the price was right.
Let me paint a picture: I arrived exhausted, fresh off a train, practically vibrating with anticipation. The lobby. Okay, the lobby was… functional. Not exactly the Instagram-worthy paradise I'd envisioned, but hey, the staff were friendly. Bonus points for them managing to understand my broken Korean!
But the room...The room was clean, thank goodness. That’s always the first test, right? The decor was… modern-ish. Think minimalist with a splash of “we tried.” It wasn’t *bad*, but it wasn't swoon-worthy either. I am starting to wonder if all hotels in this price range are built the same.
My verdict? It's decent. It's safe. It's not going to win any interior design awards, but it's a solid basecamp for exploring Gimpo. Keep those expectations in check, folks!
How's the Location? I want to be near… stuff.
The location is… strategic. Okay, let's call it that. It’s near the Gimpo Airport, which makes it AMAZING for flight convenience, which is what I wanted. I got to the airport so fast, and it was so easy to find the airport train/bus. That part was a win.
But "near" doesn't always translate to "convenient." Gimpo itself... it's not Gangnam, you know? It’s quieter, more… residential. There are some restaurants and cafes around, but you're not going to stumble upon hidden gems every five minutes. I had to walk a *bit* to some of the better dining spots.
If you're looking for pulse-pounding nightlife and vibrant street food, this might not be your ideal location. If you want a quiet, convenient base, then consider it. It really depends on whether you are coming to enjoy Gimpo itself or as a stopover.
Breakfast. Tell me about the breakfast, because a good breakfast is ESSENTIAL for a happy traveler.
Breakfast… ah, the most important meal of the day. Okay, so the breakfast buffet at Line Plus? It was… included. Which is always a huge win, right? However, let's just say it wasn’t a culinary masterpiece. Think basic continental fare with a few Korean options. Toast, cereal, some sad-looking fruit, and maybe some eggs of questionable origin.
And kimchi. Loads of kimchi. Which, as a kimchi *lover*, I was happy about. But even I got kimchi-ed out after a few days. One morning, I swear, I saw a lone banana looking at me with existential despair.
Look, the breakfast isn't going to ruin your trip, but it's not going to ignite your taste buds either. Eat something, get fueled up for the day, and move on. Or plan on eating out, which is probably a better plan.
Parking Situation? I'm renting a car to explore the area.
Ah, the driving life. Okay, this is important. My experience getting into the parking lot… well, not a lot of space. I think I parked there and ended up hitting the wall the first time. The staff really helped me, and it was a bit embarrassing but I will never forget it.
I remember it feeling cramped, but that might have been the car I rented. Anyway, parking is available, which is great. Just be patient, and maybe have a moment of zen before you try to maneuver your way into the space. Check with the front desk for availability before you arrive; it matters!
What about the Amenities? Is there a gym? A pool? A magic portal to Narnia?
Okay, no magic portal to Narnia. Sorry. But, the important stuff, right? There’s a surprisingly decent gym! I worked out during my stay. Nothing fancy, but it has the basics - treadmills, weights, the usual suspects. So if you're one of those people who *actually* works out on vacation, you're set.
Pool? Nope. Sadly, no pool. Which, in the summer, I would have loved. Maybe some kind of rooftop bar? Nope. It's a functional hotel, remember? Focus on the essentials. The essentials, my friend, are a clean bed and a roof over your head. The rest is gravy.
My biggest fear is the language barrier. Will I be lost?
This is a valid fear! While the staff at the hotel are generally helpful, English fluency can be… varied. Some staff members spoke it well, some a little bit. It depends on what you need them to do. I speak a little Korean, which helped immensely.
Do your homework! Download a translation app! Learn a few basic phrases! If you're polite and patient, you'll be fine. Don't be afraid to point, gesture, and laugh at your own mistakes. It's all part of the adventure. And honestly? The staff at the Line Plus seemed to genuinely try to help, even with the language barrier. They were lovely.
Can you tell me more about the area around the hotel? Is it safe to walk around at night?
Yes, Gimpo felt very safe. In fact, I felt safer there than in any American city. Generally speaking, South Korea is known for its low crime rate, and Gimpo seems to follow suit. I walked around at night on a few occasions, and I never felt uneasy. The streets are well-lit, and there are people around, even if it's not a bustling nightlife scene.
This is just based on *my* experience, of course. Always use common sense. Stick to well-lit areas, be aware of your surroundings, and avoid walking alone in very remote places (which, to be fair, there really aren’t many of). No place is 100% safe, but I definitely felt a high level of comfort and security during my stay around Line Plus Hotel.
Would you go back? And if so, why?
Hm. That's the million-dollar question, isn't it? Honestly? If the price was right and I needed a convenient base for exploring the area, sure, I'd go back. It's not a destination hotel, but it's a functional, clean, and relatively affordable option. The proximity to the airport is a HUGE plus.
If I was looking for a luxurious, pampering experience? Nope. I'd look elsewhere. But if I'm after a comfortable place to rest my head after a dayGlobetrotter Hotels
