The May Hotel

The May Hotel is a small mid-range hotel on Supyo-ro 26-gil in Donui-dong, which puts it inside the Jongno 3-ga block that holds most of Seoul's local Korean gay bars; several of them are within a few minutes' walk. Jongno 3-ga station (Lines 1, 3 and 5) is close by. It rates about 4.0 stars from just over 100 Google reviews. Rooms are compact and the area is busy with street food tents and bars until late, which is the reason to stay here rather than a drawback.
