Summit’s location was great. Walkable to DDP and 청계천 Stream. Walkable to the shopping area and had easy access to transportation (subway, taxi and bus). The breakfast was good and fresh and the cafe inside the hotel was lovely. It had everything any other cafe would have and it was very convenient.

The service was……. lacking. The staff was not very helpful. It was like except for the restaurant staff nobody actually enjoyed their work so they did the bare minimum. This was the exact opposite of what we experienced at other hotels and guesthouses throughout our vacation. The good things were that the facilities were neat and in pretty good repair. There was a convenience store right off of the lobby, bus and train stations in easy walking distance, and the airport bus stopped right in front of the hotel. But if you wanted to actually spend time at the hotel this one is not it. The room was tiny.

Excellent Hotel Near Metro Lines

Excellent hotel between two major metro lines, convenience store in the hotel was extremely useful for quick bites or whole meals! Staff were friendly, rooms were clean and stocked with all the amenities you could need. Beds were comfy for when you come back from a night on the town. Highly recommend Summit Hotel!
