My room was clean and well appointed, with a fair amount of space and plenty of easy-to-use amenities. Breakfast was basic but filling and the staff were very kind and helpful, assisting me with every query I had (Juan in particular was fantastic). The location is also very convenient for accessing the metro, and only about twenty minutes' walk from the major shopping and restaurant district of Myengdong.

The hotel was good but the staff were excellent, the male receptionist Jah was very friendly and helpful way beyond what I expected. The room had a couple of issues, the basin sink would not hold water and there were no usb sockets on the walls just older sockets. The area is lively but not annoying, the subway was very handy.

The Hotel May is in a great location: less than a block from the subway, close to MANY restaurants, convenience stores, etc. It’s stylish and comfortable. Includes a decent breakfast and the price is right! It is located on an alley and there’s no good views and little light but that’s not so bad considering all the positives.

The room was clean and tidy, bed was so comfortable. Toilet and shower room were separated. The hotel was close to subway station (2 to 3mins walking distance- Jongno 3 Sam Ga Station). Nearby restaurants, convenience stores and other stores. Breakfast were usually (eggs, sausage, bread, cereals, instant noodles, a little fruit, lettuce, soup, coffee and juice). I recommend this hotel and stay there again next time we visit the area.
