Breakfast was very basic but only paying for 3.5 star hotel. Very clean. Room was reasonable size. Have a large bathtub as well as separate shower was a bonus. Not having a wardrobe was only minus (just hooks for hanging).fThis was a room configuration thing as friends room did).Excellent location
Perfect location, perfect hotel. Would stay here again.

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!

Great location, weird room layout, the facilities were tired and worn out. Staff was very nice.
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.
The room was perfect for a solo single traveler. I loved the location, in very close proximity to the train and bus routes. The room was modern and clean. Love the bathtub, fridge, and free bottled water! The front desk staff wasn’t very friendly but also were not mean- it might be a language barrier but a smile or two wouldn’t have hurt. It was very direct and transactional. All in all- good property and will stay again.
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.
