Considering the Sky Hub Lounge at Gimpo International Airport? This honest review covers everything you need to know for a relaxing start to your trip.
As Gimpo Airport is closer to the city center than Incheon Airport,
I never really felt the need to visit a lounge when using Gimpo Airport,
but this time, I had some spare time, so I decided to check it out.
Honestly, lounges tend to be quite crowded these days, so I went in without high expectations,
but the Gimpo Airport Sky Hub Lounge impressed me so much, I just had to write this honest review!
Basic Information
✔️ Location: Gimpo Airport, 3rd Floor, Duty-Free Zone, near Gate 35 (next to Starbucks after immigration)
✔️ Operating Hours: 06:30 AM ~ 08:00 PM (Food service ends 07:30 PM)
✔️ Entry Method: PP Card, Credit Card Lounge Pass, Paid Entry
The Gimpo Airport International Terminal only has one lounge: the Sky Hub Lounge!
Lounge entry is possible with a PP Card, a credit card lounge pass, or by purchasing an entry ticket from a booking platform like Klook.
I visited on a weekday (Wednesday) at 1 PM,
and I was able to enter without any waiting; it was more spacious than I expected.
If you don't have a relevant card or are traveling with many companions, it's possible to purchase and use tickets on the same day,
so I recommend buying your entry tickets conveniently at a cheaper price than on-site payment.

Meeting Room & Workspace
Upon entering, you'll find a separate meeting room and workspace near the counter,
perfect for finishing up any last-minute work before a business trip or vacation.
There was also a massage chair and a shoe sanitizer, one of each,
and my mom absolutely loved them!
They were perfect for a quick refresh before boarding the plane.
Seating
The Gimpo Airport Sky Hub Lounge had a surprisingly diverse and comfortable seating arrangement!
There were options from single seats to group seating with tables,
and even during my weekday afternoon visit, it was spacious enough to find a comfortable spot.
Self-Service Food & Drinks
The self-service bar, conveniently located all along one side at the end of the lounge, made for a great flow.
To give a quick spoiler, it was the cleanest and most delicious Sky Hub Lounge I've ever visited.
Given how busy lounges usually are, I often felt that the chilled and frozen foods were just a tiny bit off,
but the Gimpo Airport lounge, I felt, was the place that truly showcased the taste of Pulmuone products!
✅️For drinks, Coke, Sprite, and sparkling water are available in cans, and bottled water is also provided,
Even coffee, tea bags, various juices, milk, and ice were thoughtfully provided.
✅️For cup noodles, they offered Shin Ramyun, Twigim Udon, Ojingeo Jjamppong, and Chapagetti Beombuk,
a good variety!
✅️The bakery corner, cereals, and various cookies.
They even had the same items as Incheon Sky Hub, like the Black Pork Brownies and cookies,
However, in Incheon, perhaps due to turnover issues, some foods that were kept refrigerated
were displayed at room temperature in Gimpo, which made their texture better and tasted more delicious.
✅️Toast bread, waffles, and Monte Cristo sandwiches
were available along with jam, a toaster, and a mini oven.
Next to that, ✅️Bunsik (Korean snack foods) like Tteokbokki and Eomuk, and fried items were also delicious!
✅️The soup and guk (Korean soup) corner!
On that day, they had pumpkin soup and beef seaweed soup,
and both were delicious.
✅️The salad, yogurt, and fruit corner.
The fruit selection was simple, just oranges and a tropical fruit salad.
Bibimbap ingredients and various side dishes (banchan) were also neatly managed and well-replenished.
For ✅️hot foods, the menu was similar to Incheon's, with items like fried rice, Tteokgalbi (grilled short rib patties), and honey butter fries,
but each dish was well-flavored and the quality was excellent.
Though not pictured, the self-serve Kimchi Mal-i Guksu (kimchi noodle soup) was surprisingly quite delicious!
✅️The alcohol selection was also more diverse than I expected.
✔️They offered wine, Makgeolli, Ilpoom Jinro, vodka, whiskey, Baekseju, and Terra draft beer!
Quite a diverse lineup for a pre-flight drink, haha!
Overall Review
Given that Sky Hub Lounges are serviced by Pulmuone, the quality is always at least decent everywhere,
but even dishes that I usually avoided at other branches
were so delicious at the Gimpo Airport Sky Hub Lounge that I could enjoy them, proving that the management was top-notch and it was the cleanest,
and I was most satisfied with the freshness of the hot food, the cleanliness of the self-service bar and seating, and the overall food quality!
(As a side note, a senior manager was visiting on the day I was there, so I wondered if they put in extra effort compared to usual, but
I could eat with even more peace of mind, seeing how meticulously even the senior staff member was checking everything!
