The room was spacious and the bathtub was located far from the toilet, so I used it! I didn't notice any smell of sewer or water. However, there was lipstick on the bed sheets. I had brought Febreze in advance and a towel to put on my pillow, so I felt okay. To go there, take a limousine bus from Incheon Airport to the Summit Hotel bus stop. (about 1 and a half hours) It was just a short walk down Nakamichi! It wasn't that far from DDP, and there was a train station and bus stop, so it was easy to get around. On the way back, I took a taxi to Seoul Station, checked in in advance, and headed back home. I don't really know how to call a kakao taxi. I asked the guy at the front desk. She waited outside with me until the taxi arrived so I didn't have to worry! I was able to stay with peace of mind because they spoke to me in Japanese! I would like to use it again ◎ I could see DDP from the 5th floor!

I have Korean friends all over Seoul, so the location was great! ︎ The hotel staff is also very kind! ︎ Some people may be worried about the fact that there is no curtain in the same bathroom and toilet! ︎ I don't care at all!! ︎ There is a convenience store and a cafe nearby, so I think it's good if you have a little time! ︎

The young lady at the front desk of the hotel is super good, and the booking on Ctrip is also very fast. We searched for several hotels, but they were all booked and refunded, and the online and offline were inconsistent. This one was booked online, and an email was sent immediately, very much. There is a convenience store around, and you can store your luggage in advance. It's very good. There is a big cockroach in the room, and the trembling slippers are killed. I still hope that the cleaning can be done. thanks

Hotel was 5mins walk from Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Exit 12. You can use the lift at Exit 12 (first photo), to/from Level B2 & 1 as the 4 escalators leading up to street level do not work. The room has everything you need, it’s very clean and new (beds and pillows were good >> didn’t give any backache 😂), with a very convenient water and ice dispenser in the walkway. On top of that, the room has free 2 bottles of mineral water everyday. There are many convenient stores around the hotel. You can have your tax refund done at DOOTA Mall near the hotel so you don’t have to queue at the airport to get your $ back before your departure. Myeongdong Street (at Lotte Young Plaza stop) was also about 10 mins bus ride to the hotel with 5 buses running on the same route. Would recommend staying at this hotel again! The locker for luggage storage (last photo - it fits a L size luggage) was really an advantage - you could dump your luggage before and after your check-in! Finally, airport bus 6001 to the airport is right outside the hotel - prepare 2 hours journey for road traffic conditions near Seoul station enroute to airport.

very impressive! The staff members are OK in Japanese. Cleaning is also clean and clean. The location is excellent and you can walk to the night shopping of Dongdaemun. I could go back and forth without going through narrow or dark roads. The room where I stayed had no TV and refrigerator. It was quiet so I could sleep I still want to use it!

The hotel is located at Exit 3 of Dongmiao Subway Station. Walk straight back along the temple stone wall of Main Road for 100 meters. After passing the second barbecue restaurant, turn right at the fruit stall and enter the inner street for 20 meters to the hotel. The hotel's exterior and lobby are decorated in an old style, but the customer service at the front desk is polite and can speak Mandarin. There is a luggage storage service, and there is a small restaurant next to the lobby that provides breakfast and lunch services. The breakfast is simple but filling, and it costs Rm10,000. Although the room is not large in size, it is of a reasonable size and the bathroom space is sufficient. There is also a USB port. The most commendable thing is that the room, bedding and towels are very clean. There are many second-hand shops and street stalls around the hotel, as well as many local restaurants, which are worth trying. When eating barbecue, you must try the one with the orange sign diagonally opposite the hotel door. It is a husband-and-wife team, warm and polite, and it is a traditional charcoal barbecue. At Exit 3 of the subway station, go straight and turn left into the inner street. There is also a very good noodle restaurant.
