Hotel Joy Near Camp Humphres

Lucky to get this place right outside of the walk-in gate. Plenty of this around to do and it’s quiet!

Needed it for a night, was near to 2 kbbqs. The surrounding area looks a little sketchy at night so be careful!

We stayed for 8 nights at this hotel while visiting our son, who is stationed at Camp Humphreys. Let me start the review by saying the couple who run this hotel are the sweetest and most helpful people. If the review was based solely on hospitality, this would definitely be a 5-star. I gave 4-stars for a few amenities that were missing, and might have been nice to have. Every day our 5th floor room was cleaned, and towels and basics were replaced. The hotel is secure, clean, quiet and safe, and most importantly was within walking distance of the off-base apartment where my son lives. There are a few things to note - first, there are no silverware or plastic drinking cups provided in the room, only small paper cups for tea, coffee. There is an electric hotpot for water, teabags and instant coffee, plus Pepsi and a canned sweetened coffee drink that is replaced daily. Our room had a computer (did not use), fridge and washing machine, plus a stove that we could not use due to the type of room we booked. The washing machine was a bit tricky to run as all directions were in Korean, but we used a translator and it worked fine. There is a drying rack, but no dryer and also no shower curtain in bathroom, just a drain in the floor. Both of these are fairly typical for the area. The layout of the room is a bit tight, with the queen-sized bed against the wall where the mini-split is installed. It was difficult to get the temperature just right as the cold air would blow right toward the bed. In addition, as another reviewer mentioned, no top sheet on the bed. Ultimately this was not an issue, and most days we were so tired that we did not really even notice this. The area has several decent coffee shops and restaurants, all within walking distance, and the 3-8 Market is just outside the back of the hotel, held on days ending with "3" or "8". We needed a taxi back to Incheon airport, and the owner graciously got the taxi for us, and the cost was determined ahead of time, 95,000 won (about 72 US dollars). If you are looking for an inexpensive, clean and safe hotel near Camp Humphreys, this is a great option. We really enjoyed our stay, especially the service and hospitality.
