The Summit Hotel Seoul Dongdaemun

The airport bus made getting there especially easy. K Airport Limo 6702 stops right by the hotel; at the airport you can buy a ticket from a kiosk just before exiting the terminal, and the bus stop is at the terminal exit. Going back to the airport, you can simply tap when you board. It cost 18,000KRW/adult, and we picked it for convenience since our flight was early in the morning / midnight. Our room was warm during our stay from 3/4/26-5/4/26. The water pressure was strong, all the toilet necessities were there, and they left 2 bottle of waters each day. There were plenty of plug points too. The narrow layout was the main drawback: only one person can fit along the walkway from the door to the far end, so there isn't much room to set down luggage and pack, especially in Seoul, where shopping is such a draw. The staff who cleaned our room were really good at their job. They kept it tidy and clean, and were very friendly, always greeting us with smiles when we passed on the walkway. We were on level 7. Concierge staff were nice as well, though their English was basic, so it's best to keep conversations simple. We couldn't check in early because the hotel was fully booked, and there isn't luggage storage at the hotel. There is a coin locker right beside it, though, accessed through the indoor walkway next to GS25. It was easy to use and big enough for one large suitcase and one cabin-size suitcase. The first 3 hours cost 2,000KRW, then each additional hour was 1,000KRW. For the station, walk straight out from the hotel about 300m to Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station, Line 2 exit 4, then cross the main road at the pedestrian crossing. The station serves lines 2, 4 and 5, so walking inside depends on which route you need. Seoul has a lot of stairs everywhere. GS25 is right next door and closes at 11:30pm; you can get a climate card or t-money there. There are a few nearby food choices too, including seolleoltang, samgyetang, Japanese food and bakery butterhill across the road, plus local soup shops along the same road toward the metro.
