The rooms are on the smaller size but are very clean. Staff are very attentive and having breakfast included is a great perk. ##### Adriana Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shanequa 27 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This hotel is tucked away so it might be easily overlooked but I’m glad I gave it a try. The May is best for solo or independent travelers. I’ve found once you check in you are basically encouraged to explore the small but satisfying premises on your own. I requested a room on the higher floors because you will literally be facing a wall since the alleyway is packed with other boutique hotels. Don’t let that discourage you. The rooms are a great size, the bathtub is a nice addition and the included breakfast was satisfying. The area is very lively. Cool for a weekend getaway! ##### Shanequa Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John 27 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Shower was nice. Very close to multiple metro stops and walkable to several tourist areas abs streets. I was shocked at the value of this hotel. Also, staff was really helpful and friendly. ##### John Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Hoa 28 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Room is clean, staffs are friendly, breakfast is wonderful ##### Hoa Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kimia 14 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities 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. ##### Kimia Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lindsey 26 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I enjoyed my stay as as solo traveler. The staff were polite and able to communicate with me in English. I enjoyed the mattress and had excellent sleep. The water was hot and the pressure in the shower was excellent . My only critique was the lack of counter space . The bathroom is very spacious but not much counter space which I thought was unique. Nevertheless for the price point I believe this is great value for money . ##### Lindsey Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Manuel 7 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great place to stay and enjoy real korean life. Easy access to downtown. If you want a western vibe, dont stay here, otherwise this place is great. Close to everything but away from noise. The staff is super friendly and the hotel.is surrounded by pure korean lige and food. ##### Manuel Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shahn 22 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Super quiet in the day time but comes to life at night.

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. ##### James Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 4/10 Poor #### Albert 16 Jun 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was dirty both in the room and in the restaurant.

It is very vibrant but not too loud. You’re in the middle of the city and walking distance from a lot. Location is the best part. The room itself was also pretty nice. I would say the most awkward thing about it was the bathroom is in kind of the same open format as a walkin shower so you can hear everything. So maybe not the best for privacy but for the price and location I think it was pretty good. ##### Jacob Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### jenn 18 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was located in a convenient area and the staff were very friendly ##### jenn Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elliott 9 Dec 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Great value for the price. ##### Elliott Stayed 1 night in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hector 11 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It’s a convenient place. I loved the location and the walkability to the many bars, restaurants, and shops. My room was surprisingly beautiful but I did have the best suite. I don’t know how the lesser rooms look like. But my room had a kitchen and massive bathroom with a tub and an isolated shower… However, it’s not for everyone. The location might bother some guests because it’s hidden in a dark corner street and the lobby looks like a front desk at an auto garage shop. Breakfast is included but it’s simple with sausage and eggs as an option. … But I personally loved it. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/14c8bf90-0dc5-438f-ae4c-110f3bc8da02-1752254769899.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a6c7fc72-60c2-4321-baa6-400f5488471d-1752254771841.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/95049a3b-d5cf-4889-9a87-34b5ef6ab7ca-1752254771649.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ef082c5d-7fbd-4874-be0e-f1e31031fc95-1752254771480.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Hector Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Megan 15 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I liked how close restaurants, convenient stores and cafes were ##### Megan Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [The Ambassador Seoul - A Pullman Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Grand-Ambassador-Seoul-Associated-With-Pullman.h178621.Hotel-Information) > > [The Shilla Seoul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-The-Shilla-Seoul.h15031.Hotel-Information) > > [Josun Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Seoul Gangnam](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Josun-Palace.h4871.Hotel-Information) > > [Signiel Seoul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Signiel-Seoul.h18060379.Hotel-Information) > > [N285 Hotel Insadong](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-N285HOTEL-INSADONG.h88430378.Hotel-Information) > > [THE PLAZA Seoul, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-THE-PLAZA-Seoul.h524476.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun Hotels & Residences](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Novotel-Ambassador-Seoul-Dongdaemun-Hotels-Residences.h23489421.Hotel-Information) > > [AC Hotel by Marriott Seoul Gangnam](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-AC-Hotel-Seoul-Gangnam.h5156064.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield by Marriott Seoul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Fairfield-By-Marriott-Seoul.h23687046.Hotel-Information) > > [Shilla Stay Seodaemun Seoul Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Shilla-Stay-Seodaemun-Seoul-Station.h9616679.Hotel-Information) > > [Boutique Hotel SB Seoul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Boutique-Hotel-SB-Seoul.h9241185.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Thomas Myeongdong](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Hotel-Thomas-Myeongdong.h21873198.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Hotel Seoul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Hotel-Seoul.h481269.Hotel-Information) > > [L7 HONGDAE by LOTTE HOTELS](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-L7-Hongdae-By-LOTTE.h22318672.Hotel-Information) > > [Lotte Hotel Seoul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Lotte-Hotel-Seoul.h445260.Hotel-Information) > > [UH Suite The Seoul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-UH-Suite-The-Seoul.h65308835.Hotel-Information) > > [Mondrian Seoul Itaewon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Mondrian-Seoul-Itaewon.h55294221.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Grand-InterContinental-Seoul-Parnas.h22529.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hyatt Seoul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Grand-Hyatt-Seoul.h21727.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel President](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Hotel-President.h9725952.Hotel-Information) > > [L7 MYEONGDONG by LOTTE HOTELS](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-L7-Myeongdong-By-LOTTE.h12511672.Hotel-Information) > > [ENA Suite Hotel Namdaemun](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-ENA-Suite-Hotel-Namdaemun.h21518483.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Josun, Seoul Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Josun.h10554498.Hotel-Information) > > [LOTTE CITY HOTEL MYEONGDONG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-LOTTE-City-Hotel-Myeongdong.h12615733.Hotel-Information) > > [L'Escape Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-LEscape-Hotel.h27247920.Hotel-Information) > > [Amanti Hotel Seoul Hongdae](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Amanti-Hotel-Seoul.h15285451.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Josun Seoul](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-The-Westin-Josun-Seoul.h24908.Hotel-Information) > > [Sofitel Ambassador Seoul Hotel & Serviced Residences](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Sofitel-Ambassador-Seoul-Hotel.h68892200.Hotel-Information) > > [NINE TREE BY PARNAS SEOUL MYEONDONG 2](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-Nine-Tree-Premier-Hotel-Myeongdong-2.h17447885.Hotel-Information) > > [G2 Hotel Myeongdong](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Seoul-Hotels-G2-Hotel-Myeongdong.h17918478.Hotel-Information)
