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 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.

Great value for money, the room was simple but had enough space for 2 people. Very convenient location and quiet room. The mattress could have been a bit firmer for my lower back problem but that’s a personal matter. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for good value for money.

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.
