Hotel May Dongdaemun provided me with a comfortable stay, especially with its spacious common areas and well-equipped rooms. The heated floors were a lifesaver during the chilly winter nights. However, the lack of locks on the rooms and toilets was a bit unsettling. Still, I would recommend it for its affordability and friendly staff.

My stay at the hotel was overall enjoyable, particularly because of the spacious common areas and the cozy heated floors during winter. The welcoming staff made my experience better, although the lack of locks on the rooms and bathrooms was a little unsettling. The convenient location near Hoegi Station and the availability of free drinks in the lobby added to the appeal, but I would caution that it's not the most family-friendly environment due to the thin walls.

I had a decent stay at Hotel May Dongdaemun; the location was great for both my research and my family's sightseeing. The staff were friendly, and the room was quite comfortable with all the necessary toiletries. However, it felt more like a love motel due to the thin walls, which made it unsuitable for family trips. Overall, I would rate my experience as good, but it could be better with more privacy.
