Hoa, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Adriana, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Shower was nice. Very close to multiple metro stops and walkable to several tourist areas abs streets. I was shocked at the value of this hotel. Also, staff was really helpful and friendly.
John, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a comfortable stay in The May Hotel. Pros: -enough space for us to open 2 of our carry on luggages. -separate shower and toilet (very important for us when looking for hotel to book) -relatively quiet. -mattress, pillows, comforter are all super comfortable!! Even more comfortable than our home fr. The mattress was heaven for us (we like firm and my hubby doesn’t sink in it unlike our bed at home lol😂) -so many local eateries nearby which we really -quick bus ride to Myeong-dong, though you can walk it if you wanted to. We chose to take bus as we’re pacing ourselves with so much walking over the course of 2.5wks lol -washroom -robes -vibrating sound of footsteps
Leanna, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Manuel, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Booked the hotel same day. The room felt clean but there was a strange smell, not mold, that made you feel uncomfortable. and the sheets on the bed and the pillows had stains. The location was great! But they are really bad at English in the hotel and the service is bad, we asked for breakfast bags but it was not possible. Also we got wrong directions from the hotel 2h with metron wrong. But if you want a cheap hotel located in a local neighborhood. 2 metro stops from the central station.
Jasmin, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

I enjoyed my stay as as solo traveler. The staff were polite and able to communicate with me in English. I enjoyed the mattress and had excellent sleep. The water was hot and the pressure in the shower was excellent . My only critique was the lack of counter space . The bathroom is very spacious but not much counter space which I thought was unique. Nevertheless for the price point I believe this is great value for money .

Super quiet in the day time but comes to life at night. Walking distance from lots of attractions.
Shahn, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
