Mayplace Seoul-Conveniently located and great valu

Very conveniently located hotel with all necessary services provided. Breakfast was amazing, short walk from the palaces, daily room cleaning was done, laundry in the basement was convenient to use. Only improvement can be done for the power outlets as they seemed loose and not fitting the adapters well but we found a way to work with those.

Good location, okay price. The room is nice
Jean-Marc, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

The male staff at the front desk are unfriendly and lack basic manners. When I asked for food delivery because I was feeling unwell, they told me to do it myself. The breakfast was terrible, so I ended up not eating it even though I paid for it. The employees at this hotel don’t smile or show any kindness. It’s okay if you just need a place to sleep, but don’t expect any kind of service beyond that.

Yoonjung, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Dinner too reserve on the day of the meal and even then it’s not sure if the restaurant is open. Breakfast is limited for Western custom (mainly rice etc) If you want a taxi you need the Uber/Kakao app. Reception doesn’t call a taxi for you. Good room with facilities. No unnecessary disposal items (toothbrush etc) 👍👍
Remco, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

The staff were excellent, rooms and bathroom were nice, very close to shops (7/11, restaurants etc) and transit options. The only problem we had was the internet was incredibly slow. It was really frustrating because we could not even load simple websites to check details for our trip. I ended up purchasing a data plan for my phone. I would not recommend this hotel if you are relying on the wifi for work, trip planning etc.
Tasha, 5-night trip

6/10 Okay

The hotel is near bus stops and is convenient to get to attractions in Seoul. Nearest bus stops are few minutes walk away. The nearest subway station is about 15min walk. We were a bit disappointed about our corner suite. The furniture in the living space looks cheap, especially the "sofa". Its backrest isn't fixed and wouldn't support one's back. It would slide back and fall down. Whoever designed the bathroom should be fired. The bathtub sits on top of granite enclosure. So when one takes a shower, the water would splatter on the granite enclosure and would eventually flow to the floor. There is a drain on the floor; so, the design was intentionally! The problem is the water would get on the bathroom door before getting to the floor. The door shows sign of water damage, and the bathroom would smell moldy. The floor around the bathtub would be wet after a shower. The staff at the hotel, especially the front desk, is really nice and helpful.

SAKAI, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

3つ星ホテルに初めて泊まりました。 立地は、電車降りてから地上までと、地上に出てからも少し歩きます（10分は軽くかかりました） ホテルから東大門まで歩いて25分、市場まで18分。 街並みを観光として歩くとあっという間かも知れません！ コンビニは道沿いにセブンイレブン、信号挟んで反対側に1ヶ所あります。 日本語が話せるスタッフはいません。英語は可能。 バスタブがついてる部屋ではなかったです。 部屋は、カーテンはありますがレースカーテンはない。反対側のホテルから丸見えなので、見られても良い準備ができてからカーテン開けました！ 日光は綺麗に差し込むので、カーテン開けると明るいお部屋です。 ドリンクは、コーヒーとお茶、水で特に他ホテルと同じ。 マグカップは上向きに置いてあるのでホコリが入っていて、コースター、マドラーはなし。 バスルームは、ハンドソープ、ハンドボディークリームがあります。 シャワールームは、リンスインシャンプー、ボディーソープが備えついてます。 部屋のグレードによって異なると思います。 トイレは、横にゴミ箱がありペーパーはゴミ箱へ捨てるタイプで、流せません。 清掃は、ベッドメイクのみ毎日綺麗で、ダブルルームはベッドが大きく快眠でした！ ありがとうございました♪
