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).

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.

Pretty good overall, especially for the price! Looks a lot fancier in the pictures than it really is seeing it in person I think, but that's not to say it isn't nice or that here's anything wrong with it per se, just a bit tired in places. Fine for a reasonably nice room to sleep in for a few nights without being too expensive. Comfortable and nicely decorated. A/C was very good, strong and powerful, with full control over an individual unit unlike the placebo wall panels you some times get in larger/fancier hotels. Breakfast was very basic, very limited choice in some little basement room, but it was free so meh. Better than nothing and again value for money to be included for the price so can't complain too much I chose the "please empty bins and replace bottled water etc every day" option on check in, rather than unnecessary changing sheets & towels every day for my 3 night stay and wasting energy/water, a nice eco idea. However, one day they didn't do this at all, so I had no fresh bottled water for the next day of sightseeing. No biggie (I'm ok with the tap water) but might bother some if you were relying on it. Again I'm kinda complaining about a free perk so perhaps a bit picky of me but it's a review after all! To finish on a positive, the location of this hotel is absolutely fantastic. Smack bang in the middle of a busy eating/drinking area with lots of pub/bars, restaurants and street vendors. But tucked away in a side street so I never though it was noisy. Ace!

Great place to stay, friendly staff, clean room great amenities The area is really good, loads of places to eat and 2 minutes from a train station If you don’t like night life then the area might not be for you, but you cannot hear anything in the rooms

The property is small but very clean.Bed is comfortable. Rooms are small but has all the amenities and quite comfortable. The staff is friendly. Location is close to subway and Korean market. The hotel is tucked in a side lane and off a very busy street. This location is walkable distance from palaces. You walk through the art street which is quite cool. I would stay there again.

I stayed there for two nights. The area is conveniently located to various sightseeing areas. This hotel seems to be surrounded by socalled love hotel and may be one of them , too. The hotel is well updated. The floor is all marvel and the bed was exceptionally comfort, although the comforter I used may have not been washed after someone used it. Don't expect too much for the free breakfast unless you like instant ramen very much. The staff were kind but they didn't know where the airport shuttle stops.

Great little hotel in a good location
Great little hotel in a good location. A couple of fixtures could do with fixing - like the tap in the room (it was a little wobbly). But the room was nice, bed was very comfy and the staff were helpful.

The may hotel
It is a new building the interior is black and depressing. The room was small and no place to put suitcases we had four large ones. The bed was every soft. Location was hard to get to we had ten cab rides and not one was able to get to entrance. The area is very busy.
