I'd stay here any time! This airport was BEAUTIFUL! State of the art, clean, comfortable, and with amenities galore! They even have a delightful "Cultural" center where you can make a traditional Korean handicraft for free from 9am - 10pm every day! (I made a box that was a perfect gift upon my return!)
There were so many choices for food and entertainment that I was reluctant to get on my plane! As far as sleep goes, comfortable benches and loungers were perfect -- and with crime virtually non-existent in Seoul, you don't even have to worry about your possessions while you nap!
The last review for this airport was in 2011. Have you been there recently? Tell us about it!
