Nice place to stay in Seoul
Pros:

Excellent location, the room is very spacious. Comfortable beds. The air con works super well (this is important to consider during the Korean summer).
We were four people (2 adults, 1 young adult and 1 teenager) and there was plenty of space.
The kids also enjoyed the huge tv in the room.
Hair dryer and hair straightener available.
Based on previous reviews, I wasn’t expecting much of the breakfast, but it was better than I thought.
There was sausage, eggs, bread, noodles, banana, apple, tomato, lettuce, rice pasta, coffee and juice.
The hotel is located in a very lively area. There are at least 2 convenience stores within 5 min walk.
The metro station (jogno-3) is also super close.
I would definitely stay at The May again.

Cons:

Nothing

Awsome hotel
Pros:

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Hotel The May Jongno. From the moment I arrived, everything was perfect. The hotel is in an excellent location, within walking distance of many of Seoul's main attractions, restaurants, cafés, convenience stores, and several subway stations, making it very easy to explore the city.
My room was spotless, comfortable, and cleaned every day. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and after long days of sightseeing, it was the perfect place to rest. Even though the hotel is located in the city center, it is on a quiet street, so I slept peacefully every night.
The staff were incredibly kind, friendly, and always willing to help whenever I had a question. They made me feel welcome throughout my stay.
As a solo traveler, I felt safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. I honestly couldn't have chosen a better hotel for my first visit to Seoul. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip to Korea and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Seoul!

Cons:

i don't have anything that i didn't like.
