We had a comfortable stay in The May Hotel. Pros: -enough space for us to open 2 of our carry on luggages. -separate shower and toilet (very important for us when looking for hotel to book) -relatively quiet. -mattress, pillows, comforter are all super comfortable!! Even more comfortable than our home fr. The mattress was heaven for us (we like firm and my hubby doesn’t sink in it unlike our bed at home lol😂) -so many local eateries nearby which we really -quick bus ride to Myeong-dong, though you can walk it if you wanted to. We chose to take bus as we’re pacing ourselves with so much walking over the course of 2.5wks lol -washroom -robes -vibrating sound of footsteps

Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Shower was nice. Very close to multiple metro stops and walkable to several tourist areas abs streets. I was shocked at the value of this hotel. Also, staff was really helpful and friendly.

Hoa, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Booked the hotel same day. The room felt clean but there was a strange smell, not mold, that made you feel uncomfortable. and the sheets on the bed and the pillows had stains. The location was great! But they are really bad at English in the hotel and the service is bad, we asked for breakfast bags but it was not possible. Also we got wrong directions from the hotel 2h with metron wrong. But if you want a cheap hotel located in a local neighborhood. 2 metro stops from the central station.

Great place to stay and enjoy real korean life. Easy access to downtown. If you want a western vibe, dont stay here, otherwise this place is great. Close to everything but away from noise. The staff is super friendly and the hotel.is surrounded by pure korean lige and food.

Super quiet in the day time but comes to life at night. Walking distance from lots of attractions.

Great stay in central Seoul with an amazing staff

Short stay in Seoul. Centrally located with a confortable room, although not much natural light in the room i was in. Most important the front desk staff was amazing, offering to help me out of a bit of a jam.
James, 2-night trip

Modern, quiet hotel despite being in a vibrant area. Separate bath, separate (automatic) toilet. Convenient location
Howard, 3-night trip

It was dirty both in the room and in the restaurant. Definitely not recommended unless you want a very budget hotel.

Yuritzi, 10-night trip

8/10 Very good

Smart modern room with some stylish features. Lacking a safe and some extra plug sockets. Good to have included breakfast with nice options. Staff very friendly and hotel is in great location for getting around the city.
Christopher, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

Stay was okay, hotel needs some updates and a proper cleaning. Loved the neighborhood though, so still recommend it for a short trip to Seoul
Kristina, 1-night trip

It was located in a convenient area and the staff were very friendly
jenn, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I really liked the area around the hotel. It is very vibrant but not too loud. You’re in the middle of the city and walking distance from a lot. Location is the best part. The room itself was also pretty nice. I would say the most awkward thing about it was the bathroom is in kind of the same open format as a walkin shower so you can hear everything. So maybe not the best for privacy but for the price and location I think it was pretty good.
Jacob, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great value for the price.
Elliott, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I liked how close restaurants, convenient stores and cafes were
Megan, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It’s a convenient place. I loved the location and the walkability to the many bars, restaurants, and shops. My room was surprisingly beautiful but I did have the best suite. I don’t know how the lesser rooms look like. But my room had a kitchen and massive bathroom with a tub and an isolated shower… However, it’s not for everyone. The location might bother some guests because it’s hidden in a dark corner street and the lobby looks like a front desk at an auto garage shop. Breakfast is included but it’s simple with sausage and eggs as an option. … But I personally loved it.
Hector, 2-night trip

It was good that the station was close and there were many convenience stores and restaurants nearby
MICHIE, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

This is old , dark , dirty hotel. The room has huge bath tub but such waste of space. They should use this space for sink, closet and cabinet . The whole hotel is dark and gloomy , the breakfast was so basic and is served in the basement where it smells of sewage . I could not wait to get out of there
