Lovely room! Comfortable bed and beautiful bathroom with a deep tub! It’s located down an alley but it’s in a great part of town with lots of restaurants and shopping around. The breakfast was simple but very good. Would definitely stay there again!

The staff was very helpful and courteous. The location is right in the heart of Insedong shopping and nightlife, and still close enough to Myeongdong too.

Excellent location. Free breakfast but not interesting with very limited options. Enjoy a good breakfast somewhere else.
Patrick, 4-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.

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

10/10 Exceptional

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!
Shanequa, 2-night trip

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.
