The walls were paper thin so i could hear people talking until 1am even though it’s quiet time after 11, and someone taking a bath above my room and then showering five times until 3am. I got no sleep in the two days I was there. Otherwise the staff are lovely, the bathrooms are neat and the kitchen is good. Not the most convenient location but close to the subway.
This place was amazing and homey! The staff are incredibly nice and understanding and they all speak fluent English! My mother and I had an amazing time in this exceptionally cute place. Its very close to the subway, about 5-7min walk and only about 20 min walk to Hongdae if you wanna save on the fare cost! Sincerely recommend this placeaand would love to return!

Thank you for being your good memory. We look forward to your next visit. I hope you will always be happy.!!
Lovely property, and helpful staff. The bed was quite hard, but that may be other people’s preference. Clean and modern. A nice 20 minute walk to Hongdae.

Overall, I liked my time here. Apart from being really hard to find and not close to anything at all, I initially wondered what I got myself into. Once I got out and about I really liked the area I was in. Only 10 mins walk to the hustle and bustle but along the way, there were lots of laneways and cafe's and bars to explore close by. That sort of stuff isn't advertised and is the biggest feature of the area. The guesthouse it's self was warm and welcoming and what you would expect from a good guesthouse.

Thank you very much for using our house. Come and see me again. ^^
Hotel was dirty, cluttered and poorly maintained. Rooms/bathrooms not cleaned between guests. Website pictures are from several years ago. Breakfast was bread. You had to wash your own dishes afterwards. Room and bathroom had terrible odors. Bathroom not connected to room. Bathroom door did not lock; asked staff and they had no intention to repair it. Two lamps had no light bulb; staff had no light bulbs. Laundry room disgusting. Breakfast at 9; however they did allow us to get breakfast early when we had an early schedule. Staff helped us to get a taxi to airport and to order a pizza one evening. A housekeeper came to hotel once or twice during our 4 night stay. Our lodging was not cleaned. Did give us clean towels on day 2 but did not remove dirty towels. Towels for kids were hand towels. Housekeeper did give us a Korean snack one afternoon. That was sweet. One evening the staff and guests were very loud but when I spoke to the staff they did bring down the volume. Hotel is ok for young adults but do not recommend for families or anyone who likes cleanliness. Or breakfast. Or comfort. Or odor free room. Hotel was close to buses, train and a few restaurants/street market. When arrived, staff did not offer to help with luggage up the many flights of stairs. Dreaded coming back to this hotel every day. Our children begged us to leave as soon as we were dropped off and came into the hotel. Would have if we hadn’t already paid! House was like dirty frat house.

Review
Plain and simple hotel. Poor location. Taxi drivers cannot find it. It is though five minute walk from metro station once you have worked out the route. Takes up to 45 minutes to get to city centre.
From the pictures the Mei Haus looked like a nice and simple guest house but once we arrived it appears that the place is just photogenic. The place is a bit of a walk from all the shops and difficult to reach if walking from the other side of the road as there is a railway track in the way. The big thing for us is the cleanliness. There was dust everywhere and the communal bathroom was in quite a state. Thankfully we got an en-suite room but only to find that we had a wet room for the bathroom which we didn't know about. The double bed was small and uncomfortable but at least the pillows were good. The room didn't have heating but came with a portable radiator. The kitchen wasn't very clean either. At least the staff were nice and helpful, although when we arrived we were only provided 1 big towel and they expected one of us to use a small towel. The place was cozy but they could really improve on the cleanliness and the comfort of the place.

Thank you for your review. We will improve our service by taking your advice.
Stayed on underground single room. Moldy smell and room is full of moisture. They don’t made your bed nor change new towel before you ask. You can’t check out early because the staff shows up at 10, and you need to retrieve your 10$ keep for your room key. Don’t stay lower level rooms. It is all moldy and smelly. Breakfast is not real. Because you have to wait till 10. You are busy person why wait that long for few pieces of bread.

Sorry for the inconvenience. We will try to make this place better with your advice.
The guesthouse was not difficult to find and the guy that checked us in was very friendly. I just needed to stay one night and left early morning so did not use much of the facility but was comfortable. Only drawback was that the bathroom seemed a little dirty. Could use some bleach

The mei haus.....
The staff at the mei haus are nice and helpful in answering any questions you may have. We stayed for two weeks and moved rooms twice. Breakfast= bread, jam, peanut butter. Meat and juice. They provide coffee and tea as well. The neighborhood is quiet and near the bus stop. I really liked the hongdae shopping area and ewha which is 22mins. By bus. Nam daemon was nice too 40mins. away. Gyeongbokgung palace is 26mins.away by bus. Gajwa station is 5 mims. walk. Next time, I'm going to jeju island and maybe stay at the mei haus forestville.
Nothing fancy, but clean, quiet, and very accomodating and helpful staff. Fully equiped shared kitchen, with large frig and freezer. Provide your own food, and clean up after yourself. Close to subway. I stayed ten days while attending a conference.
The Mei Haus was a comfortable and clean guesthouse where I stayed for 2 weeks with my girlfriend. Since I stayed there for a long time I had lots of questions about how to move around Seoul by trains (KTX), bus and subways and all the staff members were very helpful. Seung H gave me information about good restaurants in Seoul and how to cook fast good korean food. Gi B is very good too. Jamie was always available to help me with some troubleshooting. Thank you to the staff at the Mei Haus!
We were looking for a comfortable place for a family of four and found it. It's a comfortable and welcoming guest house with good access to public transport and the airport train. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing, modern environment in which stay. Guest staff were very friendly.
난방시설이 없어 선풍기히터 틀어놓고 잤어요. 화재위험 걱정에 마음 졸이고 지냈어요. 아침식사제공이라고 해서 큰기대는 안했지만 식사라는 사용 안하는게 그럴듯합니다. 식빵제공. 그것도 아침 9시 이후

머무시는 동안 불편한 부분 있으셨다니 죄송합니다.
저희 조식은 9~11시이며 토스트를 해드실 수 있도록 준비해드리고 있습니다.
라면이나 식사를 준비해서 드시는 것도 가능하십니다.
간혹 손님응대를 하거나 체크아웃하시는 손님들과 작별인사를 하느라 조식이 조금 늦는 경우가 있습니다. 시간을 지킬 수 있도록 하겠습니다~
저희는 층별로 보일러 난방을 하고 있습니다. 손님들이 다양한 국가에서 오시다 보니 보일러를 계속 틀면 덥다고 하시는 경우가 있습니다.
그래서 보일러 난방과 더블어 선풍기히터나 라지에이터를 제공해드리고 있습니다. 선풍기히터는 저희도 사용을 하면서 안전하다고 여겨지는 제품으로 흔들리거나 넘어지는 경우 전원이 차단되는 제품입니다.
미리 설명을 드려 걱정을 하지 않게 해드렸어야 했는데 저희 안내가 부족했던 것 같습니다.
혹시 다음에 저희 숙소를 방문하시면 불편한 부분 바로바로 말씀해주세요^^
해결해 드릴 수 있는 부분은 바로 조치해 드리도록 하겠습니다.
리뷰 남겨주셔서 감사합니다~
The photos look clean and bright but all rooms are not like so. The single room I stayed is very different to the photos' atmosphere. The photo are looked too much nice. Around the bed was clean, but there was only a tiny window near the ceiling so you can't open it. Then the air in the room was always bad. Also the fan in the bathroom didn't work well.
On the other hand, the kitchen space and shared dining room are more comfortable with clean air. The staff were kind.

I'm sorry, there was something that didn't meet your expectations.
You can open and close the windows of your room, but you might have felt a little stuffy.
Thank you for your interest and review.

Sorry, we've not been able to live up to your expectations.
다른 게스트와 대화를 할 수 있어 좋았습니다. 저렴한 가격에 숙박할 수 있어 좋았습니다. 가좌역 지하철이 가까워서 좋았습니다. 다만 방과 주방에 개미가 있었습니다.

더메이하우스를 이용해주셔서 감사합니다.
저희 더메이하우스가 너무 꿀가성비라 개미가 냄새를 맡고 따라들어왔나네요. 피드백 감사하고, 반영하도록 하겠습니다.
기존 모텔과 달리 다른 게스트와 소통이 가능한 게스트하우스의 장점을 살린 구조라서 방에서는 편한 꿀잠과방을 벗어나오면 게스트하우스 같은 분위기를 즐기려는 취향을 모두 저격할 수 있습니다.
가좌역도 물론 가깝지만 버스 정류장은 더 가깝고 많은 버스가 지나가기 때문에 교통에 편리합니다. 바로 앞에는 편의점과 옆에는 마트가 있어서 필요한 것 사기에도 편리한 위치죠~
나중에 또 방문해주세요~ ^^
