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.

Dinner too reserve on the day of the meal and even then itโs 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 doesnโt call a taxi for you.
Good room with facilities. No unnecessary disposal items (toothbrush etc) ๐๐

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.
