Lovely room! Comfortable bed and beautiful bathroom with a deep tub! It’s located down an alley but it’s in a great part of town with lots of restaurants and shopping around. The breakfast was simple but very good. Would definitely stay there again!

The staff was very helpful and courteous. The location is right in the heart of Insedong shopping and nightlife, and still close enough to Myeongdong too.

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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 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.
