About this property
Tucked into one of Seoul's most energetic and culturally rich districts, Kay House sits close to Hongik University, a neighbourhood widely known as Hongdae — a hub of street art, indie music venues, vintage shops, and some of the city's best late-night food stalls. This part of western Seoul has a…
Who stays here
Best suited for
Couples
Budget-friendly Hongdae location is fun, but low guest ratings and shared bathrooms dampen the romantic appeal.
Solo travellers
Affordable single rooms in vibrant Hongdae make it a solid base for independent explorers on a budget.

Low ratings, limited professional amenities, and a nightlife-heavy neighborhood don't suit business travelers well.

Good price. Located on the first floor, no need to drag luggage up.
Disliked
The walls are very thin, the room is very small, you can't unpack your suitcase on the floor.

Right when you enter the room, a humid smell hits you in the face. Then you walk around and realized minimal effort was put into making the place. Faucets were old and rusted, nothing is pleasant. It was winter when we stayed and no hot water for the shower. Only slightly warm water comes for 2 seconds and then you get cold water for 5 seconds unfortunately. Even tissues were not provided. Seems like they put 2 beds in a basement and called it a day.

The neighborhood is full of cafes and delicious restaurants, all within easy reach.
Disliked
Cleanliness and staff amenities were lacking, such as not being informed about check-in or accommodation procedures and not cleaning the room.
