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.

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.

Good room, nice area

The room was lovely. The bed comfortable and the room smart. The bathroom offered little privacy which might not be ideal for some people. The breakfast was free and in a basement. However we saw the guy serving go to the toilet (to which the door was open to the dining room) with his gloves on and not change his gloves after. Gloves are very unhygienic when combined with such behaviour. This was quite off putting! The room was noisy at times due to people shouting late at night and building work in a nearby building in early morning. But it wasn’t too bad. None of the tours would pick up from this hotel we had to travel to Myengdong

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.

Great Location but Disappointing

Great location in central Seoul. So many sites within walking distance. A lot of cafés, restaurants, coffee houses in the area. Room was nice sized but needed a deep cleaning. Furnishings needed a good dusting. Very little wardrobe space with just 2 hangers, no drawers, no luggage rack. Breakfast was simple but ok. Front desk staff was most kind, helpful.

We only stayed to sleep here. Good value. The place is small but is good enough for a couple. Place is modern. Bed is comfy. Sure close to places to eat and drink but this is inan area where people drink and go for night out in Seoul so I would not recommend for families or ladies travelling by themselves at night. If youre a couple, it's somewhat fine.

I had a pleasant 12 days stay at the May Hotel. At first i was confused because it says “Hotel The May” on the Naver App and the entrance of the hotel. We were quite happy with the stay, the area has a lot of food options, and its near ikseong-dong hanok village. We were there for Christmas and the vibes were great. One thing was that the front desk told us there is a aircon option in the room but we called them because it was not working. They said that it was not working and asked us to open the window instead, i dont know how true it was but we were lucky it was winter so we could allow some cold air in. Other things that could be improved was that the housekeeper doesn’t replenish the body soap, i guess its because we brought our own shampoo but we used their body soap. They do provide laundry service for 10000won, im not sure if its the language barrier but we heard “maximum 5kg”, we weighed our laundry and it was only 4kg, but they said it was too much and charged us 30000won instead. There were no other laundry mats nearby too, so we just paid the price. Lastly, there were only 2 hangers available, definitely not sufficient.
