3. Best Reviews from Korean Guests
The “Mayfield Hotel Seoul” is located in South Korea, so the majority of its guests are probably Koreans. I have found various reviews written by Koreans about the “Mayfield Hotel Seoul“, and I would like to share some of the best reviews with you.”
3.1. Best Reviews 1 : “Mayfield Hotel Seoul – Staycation in a Premier Double Room at a 5-star hotel”
Source: https://blog.naver.com/toystory20/223171333602
Summary of the Blog Post
The Premier Double Room at Mayfield Hotel Seoul had a well-equipped kitchen, refrigerator, induction, and washing machine, and the beds and bedding were very satisfactory. Especially, it was great to have a washing machine to dry the swimsuits. The room only had one double bed, so we received extra bedding and one person slept on the floor, but there was no significant inconvenience.
The exterior environment of the Mayfield Hotel Seoul was also excellent. The scenic view for a walk was impressive, and we were able to create good memories with our family.
The room condition, hotel exterior, staff attitude, swimming pool, breakfast, etc. were all satisfactory, and we think that the inconvenience in Pangyo Hotel eventually led to a good experience. It was so good that I would like to use the Mayfield Hotel Seoul again next time.

3.2. Best Reviews 2 : “Mayfield Hotel Seoul – A delicious breakfast at a 5-star hotel with a swimming pool”
Source: https://blog.naver.com/toystory20/223172113406
Summary of the Blog Post
My recent visit to the Mayfield Hotel was quite satisfying. Upon check-in, I received instructions for using the swimming pool in front of the suite building. The Mayfield pool is available without an entry ticket from 06:00 to 11:00, and an entry ticket is required in the afternoon. The entry ticket received at check-in allowed me to enjoy swimming in the afternoon as well. When I visited again at 12 o’clock the next day, there were almost no people checking out or before check-in, making it very pleasant to swim.
The Mayfield pool had a variety of amenities, from the main pool to a children’s pool, a small pool, and an outdoor pool. In particular, sunbeds were freely available, and tubes could be used as well. However, swimming caps were required, and when the cap hat I prepared was not usable, I bought a swimming cap for 5,000 won and entered.
Also, I was able to enjoy breakfast at the Castle Terrace located on the first floor of the main building, which operated from 06:30 to 10:00 and was available for entry until 09:30. There were various menus such as various kinds of bread, eggs, bacon, jam, cheese, Korean side dishes, main dishes, porridge, soup, cereal, etc., and I enjoyed the pho made on the spot.
Lastly, at the Mayfield Hotel, Tesla electric car charging was available for free, so I charged my car and checked out. This visit was satisfying in all respects, from the swimming pool, breakfast, and electric car charging, and I was able to stay cost-effectively for 75 million won for 2 nights including breakfast. I plan to visit again next time.

5. Lowest Price Analysis
I will finally analyze the most important category in hotel reviews, which is the price.
I will compare the lowest price results provided by the most famous hotel price comparison websites, “HotelsCombined,” “Sky Scanner,” and “Trivago,” in order to identify the place that offers the best price.
Lowest price search criteria: 1-night stay from Wednesday to Thursday, 1 room (for 2 guests), excluding breakfast(If breakfast is included in the accommodation conditions, the price goes up a lot).
5.1. “HotelsCombined” Price Comparison
The lowest price search result on HotelsCombined is $94 for a 1-night stay. This price is based on booking through “Priceline”.
5.2. “Sky Scanner” Price Comparison
The lowest price on Sky Scanner is $115 for a 1-night stay when booked through “Trip.com”.
5.3. “Trivago” Price Comparison
The lowest price on Trivago is $119 when booked through “Agoda”.
Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that “HotelsCombined” provided the lowest price among the three price comparison websites. And booking through “priceline” for a weekday 1-night stay yielded the most affordable result. The fact that the lowest price of $94 on “priceline” was much cheaper than other websites was somewhat intriguing. Anyway, it is recommended to consider this information when making a reservation.
Please keep in mind that the lowest prices can vary depending on the dates of stay and the timing of the search.
It is important to note that the current lowest price does not guarantee the lowest price in the future.
“The Lowest Price Analysis” I shared should be used for reference purposes only.
When considering a hotel reservation, I recommend re-searching through price comparison websites at the time of your accommodation planning to utilize the lowest price available at that specific moment.
And with that, we wrap up our review of the โMayfield Hotel Seoulโ, seen through a distinctly Korean lens.
