Overall Ratings & Reviews The May Hotel

Room is clean, staffs are friendly, breakfast is wonderful

Smart modern room with some stylish features. Lacking a safe and some extra plug sockets. Good to have included breakfast with nice options. Staff very friendly and hotel is in great location for getting around the city.

The room was lovely. The bed comfortable and the room smart. The bathroom offered little privacy which might not be ideal for some people. The breakfast was free and in a basement. However we saw the guy serving go to the toilet (to which the door was open to the dining room) with his gloves on and not change his gloves after. Gloves are very unhygienic when combined with such behaviour. This was quite off putting! The room was noisy at times due to people shouting late at night and building work in a nearby building in early morning. But it wasn’t too bad. None of the tours would pick up from this hotel we had to travel to Myengdong

Reception personnel are not professional in demeanor. The bed is uncomfortably soft. The neighborhood is very noisy all through out the day and night. Conveniently located.

Modern, quiet hotel despite being in a vibrant area. Separate bath, separate (automatic) toilet. Convenient location

Breakfast was in a basement.

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 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.

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.

I had a pleasant 12 days stay at the May Hotel. At first i was confused because it says “Hotel The May” on the Naver App and the entrance of the hotel. We were quite happy with the stay, the area has a lot of food options, and its near ikseong-dong hanok village. We were there for Christmas and the vibes were great. One thing was that the front desk told us there is a aircon option in the room but we called them because it was not working. They said that it was not working and asked us to open the window instead, i dont know how true it was but we were lucky it was winter so we could allow some cold air in. Other things that could be improved was that the housekeeper doesn’t replenish the body soap, i guess its because we brought our own shampoo but we used their body soap. They do provide laundry service for 10000won, im not sure if its the language barrier but we heard “maximum 5kg”, we weighed our laundry and it was only 4kg, but they said it was too much and charged us 30000won instead. There were no other laundry mats nearby too, so we just paid the price. Lastly, there were only 2 hangers available, definitely not sufficient.

Great value for the price.

Everything was great truly, only complaint I have would be cleaning service. I asked if they can change the bedding for clean fresh sheets and they did not do.. :/ also kept forgetting to restock body towels, had to go to the desk every time to ask for them, plenty of hand towels though. They might’ve just mistaken the towels because how they were rolled up and couldn’t tell but still.

Good clean room but expensive for what it is. But that is Seoul! Also Quite difficult to find so have a NAVER map link as google maps does not work. Hotel staff are ok not helpful. Go to closest 711 near station entrance it has a lotte atm so easy to get cash for international cards. Also it is smack bang in a very busy eating area especially at night & on weekends it all goes off & is noisy. But it’s super Easy to walk around & subway. Also 5mins to insadong & all the cafes. Perfect place to stay once I got my bearings & didn’t expect much of hotel staff.

Rooms small

Super value! Large western style rooms and huge bathtub was a surprise. No carpet in room which was nice and clean! Good location.

What an amazing hotel. As I read the reviews I was nervous about the room size but I can say I was pleasantly surprised and impressed. I had room 802. My sister and I both Americans were very happy with our stay. The room was plenty big and we had 8 suitcases as we had went shopping on our 1 month trip. Air conditioner worked without issue. Nice bedding, nice bathroom, room had refrigerator. So many options for meals. The subway was maybe a 3 minute walk away, the front desk was very helpful with recommendations, taxis and even helped order a pizza for us. I can’t say one negative thing. I highly recommend.

My first time staying in South Korea and this is the hotel I came across! Didn’t know what to expect but our stay had just what we needed. Air conditioning worked great, water ran well in the bathrooms, hotel was clean, bottled water was refilled when we requested room service and room was cleaned nicely. We ubered everywhere and it was easily accessible for them to drop us off near the hotel. It’s a short walk to a lot of wonderful places as well! We enjoyed our stay! (I will add the room was a bit small for the luggage we had but we made it work ◡̈ ) thank you for letting us stay here! - Miya Perdon from Texas!

Budget hotel in a shady street close to a nice and vibrant area.

The hotel was clean, front desk was very friendly and helpful to our needs. Even though the room was a bit small I would stay again.

Staff was very accommodating and very polite. Great english skills and my hotel room was clean and comfortable
