Overall a decent stay! The staff were really friendly and helpful throughout, and the location couldn’t be better — super convenient and close to everything. The room was clean and they were happy to tidy it up whenever requested, which was great. There was a bit of street noise that carried in from the main road, but only noticeable if the window was open. One small downside was the plumbing situation — like many places in Seoul, you can’t flush toilet paper, though there is a bidet which helps. The only slightly odd thing was the frosted glass bathroom doors… not exactly offering much privacy 😅. Otherwise, a comfortable and pleasant enough stay for the price.

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 overall condition of the room was good. The breakfast was decent. Very lively location. But my main issue is with the room service. You're supposed to tell the front desk if you want your room to be clean or they won't do it. We asked them right after breakfast, 9 am, to clean our room we got back around 9 pm and the room was not clean. I understand some hotels do eco stay and won't clean the room everyday but they do leave some towels and such in the room. I have never stayed in a hotel that you have to asked for your room to be cleaned, especially a hotel that is not that large so it won't be that much of a hassle for them to clean every room every day. Overall it was a good stay.

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

This hotel is tucked away so it might be easily overlooked but I’m glad I gave it a try. The May is best for solo or independent travelers. I’ve found once you check in you are basically encouraged to explore the small but satisfying premises on your own. I requested a room on the higher floors because you will literally be facing a wall since the alleyway is packed with other boutique hotels. Don’t let that discourage you. The rooms are a great size, the bathtub is a nice addition and the included breakfast was satisfying. The area is very lively. Cool for a weekend getaway!

Excellent location. Free breakfast but not interesting with very limited options. Enjoy a good breakfast somewhere else.
