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 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.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
It’s a convenient place. I loved the location and the walkability to the many bars, restaurants, and shops. My room was surprisingly beautiful but I did have the best suite. I don’t know how the lesser rooms look like. But my room had a kitchen and massive bathroom with a tub and an isolated shower… However, it’s not for everyone. The location might bother some guests because it’s hidden in a dark corner street and the lobby looks like a front desk at an auto garage shop. Breakfast is included but it’s simple with sausage and eggs as an option. … But I personally loved it.

This is old , dark , dirty hotel. The room has huge bath tub but such waste of space. They should use this space for sink, closet and cabinet . The whole hotel is dark and gloomy , the breakfast was so basic and is served in the basement where it smells of sewage . I could not wait to get out of there

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.

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.
