About 10 minutes walk from the nearest station.We stayed for 11 nights. It was a room on the road side. There were some people screaming on the road at night, but the windows were open, so I closed them and it wasn't that much of a problem.It is possible to adjust the temperature of the air conditioner. You can also watch NHK, channel J, YouTube, and Netflix for free. (I can't watch Wednesday Domo.)There is no problem if you ask the front desk to clean the room and change the sheets every time.An unopened drink was stolen once, but the gentleman took care of it.Breakfast was also good.⚠️Please note that we are closed on Sundays⚠️It was great to have white bread, bag noodles, bananas, salad, and cereal. I think the people who complain about this are probably eating a luxurious breakfast every time. There is also a water server and coffee machine at the front desk.(The coffee machine was recently updated.)I would like to stay again next time.

Great place to stay. It is not how it look from outside. Great people to deal with,clean room, free breakfast with a helping chef. Laundry,netflix, youtube, Airport drop off everything was easy. 2 minutes to downtown where you have 24hr restaurants and convince stores. Will definitely recommend it.

No big deal, just a few steps away is the Moxy Hotel which is definitely better! Here they don't redo the rooms even if they force you to put the coupon outside, the TV is set to such a low volume that you have to use subtitles to understand anything, and the structure itself is quite dilapidated, overlooking an alley. Not worth the price.

More of a 4 star motel than a hotelThe room was small, but clean, the facilities were up-to-date, I was able to watch Netflix as much as I wanted during my two days, and it was comfortable.I used the app here and it seemed like I was getting a discount, but that wasn't the case at all, which is one of the reasons why it was a bit annoying.It's not like I'm joking, why are you pretending?

I had three days in this fantastic hotel. Very nice rooms, clean and fresh. But the best thing was the staff. They was amazing, very helpful, spoke english very good and service minded.Aria around the hotel is packed with restaurants, bars and shops. So you don’t need to walk fare ro enjoy.I will for sure go back to the same hotel next time I'm in Seoul.

Overall, the May Hotel was a pleasant stay.The hotel staff were friendly and approachable. If there were any questions or requests you had, they were more than happy to answer them.They do not offer early check-in without paying for an extra night. However, they do look after your luggage in the lobby should you arrive before 3pm. Once we checked in, we were given one key card.The room was gorgeous and clean, exactly like the photos I saw online! There's a small hallway with slippers and a fire extinguisher before another door leads to the rest of the room. While the beds were the firmest beds I've ever slept on, it was very comfortable. The bathroom doesn't have a door to separate it from the rest of the room, but there are separate doors for the shower and the toilet. There's only a semi opaque glass wall between the bathroom and the bed so at night you can see the light from the bathroom through the bedroom if someone's in there. There's no safe in the room so we brought our own. There's also no lotion in the bathroom area so I'd recommend to bring your own too. The mini fridge worked fine and had 2 water bottles in it - nice! There's a closet above but it only had 2 hangers.The TV worked fine for the most part, there were so many channels to choose from- even a few English channels. You can also stream YouTube and Netflix but it was a little tricky to find it as the remote is in Korean. The remote is also how you control the A/C in the room, the temperature buttons by the beds don't do anything lol.The tub and the shower were very nice, just keep in mind that it takes a while for the water to get hot so let it run for a bit. Also, we were only provided with one body towel with three hand towels. You'll have to bring your own face towels and request body towels at the front desk. We also requested complimentary daily cleaning but all they did was take out the trash in the room and remove the extra body towel we requested. They never came back to our room lol.The hotel itself was very quiet and you really only heard people if they were talking outside in the Hallway. They also provide free basic breakfast in the basement. While the hotel is located in an alleyway we always felt very safe getting in and out. The location is AMAZING! You're around the corner Jogno 3 (sam)-ga station as well as Insadong street and Ikseon Hanok Village! So many shops, restaurants, convience stores, cafes, markets, and bars within walking distance.I would stay here again and would recommend this accommodation too!
