GIMPO AIRPORT (GMP), SEOUL · PLACES TO STAY · PRICES CHECKED OCTOBER 30, 2026

Hello! ✈️ Are you flying in or out of Gimpo Airport? Gimpo is Seoul’s “other” airport, used for domestic flights to Jeju and Busan and for short international flights to cities like Tokyo, Osaka, Shanghai and Taipei. If you land late at night or have an early morning flight, staying close to the airport can make your trip so much easier. When you come to Korea, we’d love to help you find clean, well-rated places to stay at a fair price, and this time we looked around Gimpo Airport.

Here’s the honest truth first: well-rated rooms near Gimpo Airport cost a bit more than the $20-a-night stays we found in other areas. The best-rated rooms within about 5 km of the airport start at around $52 per room, which is about $26 per person when two people share. So we picked 10 places with a guest score of 8.0 or higher and at least 20 reviews, and sorted them into three groups: budget, mid-range, and right at the airport.

🎫 Before you book

Each price is the lowest price per room for 2 adults, 1 night on Tuesday, November 17, 2026, shown on Booking.com on October 30, 2026. Distances to the airport are from Booking.com. Prices change with your dates, so please check before you pay.
