The room was perfect for a solo single traveler. I loved the location, in very close proximity to the train and bus routes. The room was modern and clean. Love the bathtub, fridge, and free bottled water! The front desk staff wasn’t very friendly but also were not mean- it might be a language barrier but a smile or two wouldn’t have hurt. It was very direct and transactional. All in all- good property and will stay again.

The May Hotel is centrally located within walking distance to many shopping areas recommended as must see in Seoul. The rooms are on the smaller size but are very clean. Staff are very attentive and having breakfast included is a great perk.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness
Overall a decent stay! The staff were really friendly and helpful throughout, and the location couldn’t be better — super convenient and close to everything. The room was clean and they were happy to tidy it up whenever requested, which was great. There was a bit of street noise that carried in from the main road, but only noticeable if the window was open. One small downside was the plumbing situation — like many places in Seoul, you can’t flush toilet paper, though there is a bidet which helps. The only slightly odd thing was the frosted glass bathroom doors… not exactly offering much privacy 😅. Otherwise, a comfortable and pleasant enough stay for the price.
