Room decoration (black)... not suitable for family travel. Hygiene is average. The only good thing is that it is next to Jongno Pedestrian Street. Suitable for young people to stay. Be careful when traveling for business or family. Service: The service is very good, and there is breakfast. You can experience cooking Shin Ramen by yourself. The waiter is also very good. What I am not used to is the decoration style of the hotel~

I found a place to stay in Jongno 3-ga to have fun for the first time in a long time, and as expected, the location and facilities were very clean and nice.

I am happy with this hotel. There is a metro station and a bus stop to the airport nearby. There are also many attractions. In general, it is right in the central center. I was especially pleased with the walking distance of two markers, the tourist Myeongdong and the second one, which is cheaper and larger for locals. And since I stayed there on the last leg of my stay in Korea, it was very convenient to go shopping for gifts and souvenirs, fill up your backpack, take it to your room, cool off under the air conditioner, go shopping again, and so on in a circle 5-6 times a day. The breakfast is not very varied, but hearty and tasty. In general, an excellent hotel in such a place at this price.

The hotel room was quite nice. I was a bit nervous after seeing so many negative reviews before booking, but there's no need to worry; some people just have a bit of a "princess syndrome." The location is incredibly convenient. There's a subway station right outside, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby, so you don't have to go hungry. There's a barbecue restaurant across from the hotel with a Chinese-speaking lady. Despite the language barrier, I felt very welcome there for seven days. The front desk staff were also very friendly. It's also close to Myeongdong; I walked there in about 15 minutes. Hanok Village is also within walking distance, so it's very close. Overall, the value for money is definitely worth it. Facilities: American-style in the room Cleanliness: Quite clean Ambience: Not bad, in the old Jongno-gu area Service: 4.9 out of 5 stars. If the hotel isn't too full, leave a 0.1 for improvement, hahaha.

It was my first time staying at Hotel the May Jongon in Korea. I took the No. 6002 airport bus from Incheon Airport to Jongno 3-ga and walked for about five minutes to the hotel. It was very convenient. There were many restaurants of various types near the hotel, as well as 7-11 and CU. The hotel was average in terms of hygiene, but the service attitude of the staff was ok. Overall, it deserves a thumbs up👍

The hotel is conveniently located, bus stop 6002 to the airport is nearby, there are many food outlets near the hotel, all the landmarks indicated in the description are really nearby. You can walk to many. Transport interchange is also good: metro, buses. The hotel provides modest breakfasts from 8:00 to 9:30. The food is the same: boiled eggs, sausages, salad, toast, ramen, bananas, apples, cereal, tea, coffee, juice. Not exquisite, but you can have a snack). The furniture in the rooms is "tired", but the mattress and blankets are good. The bathroom is excellent, the shower and toilet are separate, and there is also a bathtub. The staff speaks English and uses Google translator if you do not speak foreign languages. Responsive, they answer questions and give advice. In general, I recommend the hotel 👍👍
