10 Cheap but Well-Rated Places to Stay in Incheon & Bucheon (About $15–$22 per Person)
Budget stays · Incheon & Bucheon, South Korea · Checked October 30, 2026
Planning a trip to Korea? 😊 You probably want to save money on your room, but you still want a clean, comfy place to rest after a long day, right? That’s exactly why we’d love to introduce you to well-rated places in Incheon and Bucheon where you can stay for about $20 a night when you come to Korea.
Incheon and Bucheon are much cheaper than central Seoul, yet Subway Line 1 and Line 7 take you straight into the city, and Incheon Airport is close by. We checked real prices and guest scores on Booking.com ourselves and picked only 10 places that cost about $15–$22 per person when two people share a room, with a guest score of 7.9 or higher.
A real $20 room for one person is very hard to find in this area. Most prices online are per room for 2 adults. So the honest way to stay around $20 is to travel with a friend and split the room. Every price below is the lowest “from” price per room for 2 adults, shown on Booking.com on October 30, 2026.

5 tips to keep it around $20
-
Split a room. Prices are per room, so two people sharing is the easiest way to pay about $20 each.
-
Book Sunday to Thursday. Korean motels and small hotels often cost more on Friday and Saturday nights.
-
Check the total price. Some properties charge extra for cleaning or late check-in, so look at the final amount before paying.
-
Read the newest reviews. A few places here have fewer than 30 reviews, so one bad stay can change the score.
-
Use a T-money card. Line 1, Line 7 and the Incheon subway all accept it, and transfers are cheap.
Prices and scores change every day. Please check the latest price on the booking page before you pay.
