HOTEL THE MAY Jongno

My stay at the May Hotel was a good experience. Airport shuttle from Narita (6002) was both convenient and close to Hotel, a 5 minute walk. Close to transportation (buses and subway) but still away from street noise. There are many food choices especially at night. The only negative was the Hotel laundry service....terrible....clothes came back stained, unfolded and all white clothing was gray.

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.

鐘路3街駅から近い。 ホテルも新しく、綺麗でした。 ●良かったところ ・バスタブとシャワールーム、トイレが別なので嬉しい。 ・YouTubeとNetflixが見られる。 ・コーヒーメーカーがフロントにある。 ・ヘアアイロンがある。 ●悪かったところ ・洗面台が狭いので、洗顔がしづらい。 ・ハンドソープが無かった。 新しいこともあり、観光客向けのホテルというよりは、現地の方向けの印象。英語は一応通じます。 いわゆる、ザ・ホテルとは違うので、旅慣れてる方向けの印象です。 宿泊前色々ありましたが、追加人数も受け入れてくださり、全体としては良いホテルでした。

今回、イベントの為2泊で利用しました フロントはだいぶ狭いですが、ウォーターサーバーとコーヒーマシーンがあり、よかったです 館内、若干暗めですが、部屋の中は明るく空調などの設備も整っていて、ヘアアイロンもありました クローゼットのハンガーが少し高い位置にあるので女性だと不便に感じるかもしれません シャワーとバスタブが別々なので、洗った後に湯船に入る事が出来、疲れがとれました ただ、トイレやシャワーの扉がガラスなので抵抗がある方がいるかもしれません 施設の周りは、飲み屋さんがいっぱいなので食事には困らないですが、路地裏でタバコを吸ってる人や酔っ払いが多いのでやや、治安に問題があるかと思います ホテルの外観はラブホで、そのへんが気になる方もいるかもしれないですね 今回、私は女性の一人旅で利用したのでとにかく立地の良さで選びました 駅からは本当に近くて、どこに行くにも便利でした ベッドも清潔で、お湯の温度も大丈夫でしたしトイレもウォシュレットでしたので1人だったらまた泊まってもいいかなと思いました ひとつ気になる点が、フロントが夜間はいないようで、セキュリティやもしもの時の対応はどうするのか疑問でした 朝食付きで立地の良いホテルをお探しの方にはお勧めします

員工不會說英文，遇到問題不會幫你解決。一開始遇到溫度問題覺得暖氣太熱，問佢哋房有沒有裝冷氣，佢答我no air conditioner ,我最後自己發現原來係有冷氣可以開！然後洗手盤係塞嘅，連個廁所都塞埋搵佢搞，佢話一陣上黎 點知3個鐘，打電話落前枱沒有人聽， 我落到樓下見到前枱有人，擺明故意不聽！ 泊車又話免費，我見有免費泊車先book ，點知去到話5日要收5萬韓元！服務態度很一般

The hotel is located at very touristy and busy area of the city centre. I enjoyed the convenient location and the availability of convenience stores and cafés. Though the rooms are relatively large, it was very dusty and the bed sheets occasionally stained. On my first day I found a dirty sock and trash under the bed. On the positive side I found the bed to be comfy, the windows surprisingly soundproof, but the room was very hot, even on «cold» days. The staff knows very little English, so anything beyond the simple instructions and per usual checkin-checkout-dialogue, it was harder to communicate. They were nonetheless helpful and friendly still. I also enjoyed the complimentary two bottles of water provided every day.

It was dirty both in the room and in the restaurant. Definitely not recommended unless you want a very budget hotel.

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.

Clean

Posizione eccellente, camere pulite ogni giorno e bagno decisamente comodo

Zimmer sehr sauber

Has excellent location to major trainsport, and attractions. However, no view and not the cleanest place I have been to if that is an issue. But still servicable all around and you get what you get for the price point.

第二次入住，還可以，但這次定了五間房間。有一兩間房間忘了清理跟補水。

It's been many years since I was last assigned such a dirty room. For me, it doesn't matter if it's a big room and a beautiful bathroom when it's not actually clean. There was hair, toothpaste stains and food crumbs lying around. Dirty and unclean, just plain awful. This hotel was also one of the more expensive hotels I booked, but I have to say that I've stayed in hotel rooms for half the price and they've been clean. So I'm really glad I was only there for 1 night and will never have to stay there again. I can also mention that the first thing that hit me when I opened the door to the hotel room was that there was an extremely strong "washing chemical" smell. So intense that it was hard to breathe. That made it extra "impressive" and surprising that it was so dirty.

Camere molto rumorose: se qualcuno si faceva la doccia o andava in bagno si sentiva tutto. Inoltre la colazione inclusa (uno dei motivi per cui ho prenotato questo hotel) aveva scelte limitate. Ho inoltre trovato alcune macchie su lenzuola e asciugamani. Nota: se lasciate le valigie in hotel dopo le 17 per via di un volo in tarda serata sono 10000 won.

Very nice room, lots of space. Close to transportation.

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

Small room but well laid out. Nice big bath tub and separate shower.

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.

浴室とベットルームの間に扉がないので、お風呂に入ると湿気が酷いです。

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.

Rooms small

The hotel itself is rather shabby and dark. Our room had almost no natural light. The reception area is cramped and littered with boxes and storage. The rooms are very small and we were stepping over our luggage most of the time. The hotel is always humid for some reason. The staff were old men who were friendly but somewhat intimidating. The location is killer though. You could throw a rock and hit Jongno 3 station. Ikseongdong and Insadong are like 1 minute walk away. You cant beat the location.

The location is really good. Near of lots of options of street food and walking distance to subway. I didn't like the bed. The mattress was too soft.

The bedroom was very tiny

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.

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.

Great staff and location

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

The hotel is a few minute walk to the bus and metro station. When I checked out I could leave the suitcases at the hotel. The staff were really helpful! When I asked if they had a space to freshen up, they gave me a key to a room! All credits to the staff. I could really recommend staying there!

Booked the hotel same day. The room felt clean but there was a strange smell, not mold, that made you feel uncomfortable. and the sheets on the bed and the pillows had stains. The location was great! But they are really bad at English in the hotel and the service is bad, we asked for breakfast bags but it was not possible. Also we got wrong directions from the hotel 2h with metron wrong. But if you want a cheap hotel located in a local neighborhood. 2 metro stops from the central station.

good position, excellent staff

지하철과의 교통이 좋았어요 상주직원도 친절했습니다 다만 밖의 소음이 좀 있더군요

It's great place. The location is so convenient in busy area but the hotel building is very quiet. Convenient to access almost anywhere include subway stations, it is walkable as well. There room is very small but quality room and clean, compare with the prices and the location and quality, it’s very valuable. Stuffs are very friendly and helpful. It’s awesome experience there.

Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen, auf Wünsche wurde sofort eingegngen und erledigt. Das Hotel liegt sehr zentral, zu Fuß ist vieles zu erreichen, auch Restaurants. Obwohl im Zentrum gelegen ist es sehr ruhig. Frühstücksangebot und der Raum ist ausbaufähig.

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.

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.

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.

Clean room, 24 hr front desk, very hard to get cab as they dont want to go into the side street, location is good

The hotel and room was a little bit of a challenge to find. But the location is very close to the subway station and there are several things to see and do all with in walking distance. Clean and quiet. We had a wonderful stay and felt very safe.

O café da manhã era simples, mesmo menu todos os dias, mas as opções eram muito boas. O ramen era muito bom e ajuda a se manter bem alimentado ao longo do dia. A localização é ótima para quem quer andar pelos principais pontos de Myongdong e pelos templos e palácios próximos. Cama extremamente confortável, banheiro impecável com destaque para o ótimo chuveiro e banheira. A TV também era um ótimo elemento: grande, bom som e conectividade fácil. O arredores apresentam muitas opções de restaurantes típicos e o acesso ao metrô é muito fácil

交通方便,房間舒適，職員有禮貌，一落到樓下已經有好多嘢食，晚上特別熱鬧，可惜飲水要用紙杯，用玻璃杯會更加理想，食早餐喺地牢感覺上比較雜亂，早餐都好簡單，有多士，雞蛋，同埋泡麵，下次會再入住.

Excelente hotel, ubicacion, desayuno incluido bueno

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

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.

Breakfast was in a basement.

Déjeuner très très ordinaire dans un sous-sol sans fenêtre genre bunker Manque d’espace pour les clients. Horrible.

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

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!
