Mayplace Seoul-Conveniently located and great valu

Very conveniently located hotel with all necessary services provided. Breakfast was amazing, short walk from the palaces, daily room cleaning was done, laundry in the basement was convenient to use. Only improvement can be done for the power outlets as they seemed loose and not fitting the adapters well but we found a way to work with those.

Sehr stickige Zimmer, durch die einerseits gute Lage ist vieles im Stadtteil Hongi-Hi gut zu Fuß erreichbar, aber die Fenster zu öffnen bedeutet unendlicher Strassen Lärm Tag und Nacht (rasende Motorräder). Temperatur im Zimmer lässt sich nicht runterregulieren. Bei 2 Personen im Zimmer wird’s schnell stickig. Personal bemüht.

The hotel is near bus stops and is convenient to get to attractions in Seoul. Nearest bus stops are few minutes walk away. The nearest subway station is about 15min walk. We were a bit disappointed about our corner suite. The furniture in the living space looks cheap, especially the "sofa". Its backrest isn't fixed and wouldn't support one's back. It would slide back and fall down. Whoever designed the bathroom should be fired. The bathtub sits on top of granite enclosure. So when one takes a shower, the water would splatter on the granite enclosure and would eventually flow to the floor. There is a drain on the floor; so, the design was intentionally! The problem is the water would get on the bathroom door before getting to the floor. The door shows sign of water damage, and the bathroom would smell moldy. The floor around the bathtub would be wet after a shower. The staff at the hotel, especially the front desk, is really nice and helpful.

The staff were excellent, rooms and bathroom were nice, very close to shops (7/11, restaurants etc) and transit options. The only problem we had was the internet was incredibly slow. It was really frustrating because we could not even load simple websites to check details for our trip. I ended up purchasing a data plan for my phone. I would not recommend this hotel if you are relying on the wifi for work, trip planning etc.
