Reviews

  • Hari from India (9/10)

    I enjoyed the hotel's central location, and the facilities in the room were quite satisfying. I want to express my appreciation to the Summit Hotel team for their excellent hospitality. I highly recommend it to anyone planning to visit Seoul, especially the Dongdaemun area!

  • Suat from Singapore (7/10)

    Very central location, near to many food places.

  • Chai from Malaysia (8/10)

    Hotel room is clean. Location wise, it is convenient for Airport transport as there is bus service right in front of Hotel.

  • William from United States (8/10)

    Rooms were comfortable and had all the basics

  • Agnes from Poland (7/10)

    The hotel is good, a good value for the price paid. Nothing super fancy, but the room is spacious, very clean and has all the necessary amenities (fridge, electric kettle, a tv set with a great channel selection in a number of foreign languages, fast internet). The hotel does not, to my knowledge, offer breakfast, but there is a coffee shop on the ground floor as well as a convenience store. The hotel is located close to a number of various subway lines, so it was very easy to navigate the city. The Dongdaemun Design Plaza is right next door as is the Dongdaemun Gate and the route up Naksan.

  • Hall from United Kingdom (7/10)

    Good location with airport limousine on the doorstep. 편의점 in the building.

  • Anna from Singapore (9/10)

    Definitely exceeded all my expectations for the price. It is located in a quieter area with spacious rooms, security and a lot of amenities around (24/7 convenience store across the street, GS25 store inside the hotel, nice cafe inside the hotel). Double room was good for 2 large suitcases, had free water, all bathroom essentials and music in the room. It's around 10-15 mins taxi drive from all tourist/active areas, and I walked to Myeongdong in under 30mins by foot, as it's nicely situated a bit to the east of it. Compared to my previous stay in Myeongdong, all taxi prices to same locations turned out cheaper here. Airport limo bus stops literally in front of the hotel, so that was awesome too.

  • Kok from Malaysia (9/10)

    The Hotel staff is friendly and the Room is good . Will come back again in my next trip .

    Walking discount to the subway station and the whole sales market .
