Overall great but cleaning service could be better
Everything was great truly, only complaint I have would be cleaning service. I asked if they can change the bedding for clean fresh sheets and they did not do.. :/ also kept forgetting to restock body towels, had to go to the desk every time to ask for them, plenty of hand towels though. They might’ve just mistaken the towels because how they were rolled up and couldn’t tell but still.

Very convenient area with lots of restaurants and convenience store, including an Olive Young, around the hotel. Less than 5 mins walk to Train and Bus stations. 1 bus ride away from Incheon Airport. Close to Tapgol Park and Jewelry shops around Jung-no area. Few blocks away from Myeongdong. Hotel room is well kept with free simple breakfast, daily water bottle refill. Just bring your own toothbrush. I’d definitely book this hotel again.

Great stay for 3 days!
Great stay in a quiet and narrow street but close to many restaurants and metro/tube station. The Main Street is busy at night each day but cannot be heard from the rooms. Breakfast is free and fine for western travellers (coffee, toast, fruit).

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.

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.

호텔은 깨끗하고 좋았음.
번화가라 조금은 시끄러웠음. 담배 연기도 너무 많았음.
그러나,번화가라 교통편은 좋았음.
청계천, 인사동, 명동, 남산 타워, 경복궁, 드 관광지가 서로 가까이 있어서 좋았음.
택시나 버스 수단도 좋았음.
