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.

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!

The best thing about this hotel is that the airport bus stops right in front of the hotel and it's close to alot of restaurants. The hotel is dated and the tub has a big stain. The bed is hard and our comforter has a weird smell. The room is a decent size. I will nit stay at this hotel again
