Seoul Apartment Hotels 2026: Long Weekend Haus vs Somerset

Long Weekend Haus DDP prices its Garden, Dining and Skyline Suites from ₩306,000 a night (2026-09-19, official site) and its 702 Penthouse from ₩588,000 a night, across 12 units near Dongdaemun Design Plaza. That single fact sets the axis every other apartment hotel in Seoul gets measured against here: how many people a unit actually sleeps, how far the door sits from a subway exit, and whether the kitchen and washer are real or decorative. Settle party size and budget against location first, and the six properties below sort themselves. A couple wanting a self-catering studio near Myeongdong shopping needs a different pick than two couples who want separate bedrooms in one apartment hotel, and a family with young children needs a different pick again from a solo traveler on a long, budget residence-hotel stay.

Sollago Myeongdong Hotel & Residence

Sollago Myeongdong Hotel & Residence sits about five minutes on foot from Chungmuro Station in Jung-gu, and its Family Suite sleeps four across 53.53 square meters and two double beds, priced at $178 a night (2026-09-14, be.hotels.com, Sep 14 to Sep 15 dates). Every room includes a kitchenette, mini-fridge and washer, though the washer has no matching dryer, and check-in runs through a self-service computer terminal instead of a staffed desk. Guest notes describe the rooms as compact once luggage is on the floor, and reception is unstaffed for late check-in questions.

Location is the property's real strength: it sits inside Myeongdong's shopping streets, close to Myeongdong Cathedral and Bangsan Market, with Myeongdong Station itself under 0.6 miles away.

• Kitchenette, fridge and in-room washer in every room type
• Family Suite and Deluxe Family Suite options sleep four to five
• No dryer paired with the in-room washer
• Self-service kiosk check-in, no front-desk service after hours

Shoppers who want a serviced apartment inside walking distance of Myeongdong's stores fit this property, provided compact rooms and kiosk check-in are acceptable trade-offs.

Long Weekend Haus DDP

Long Weekend Haus DDP occupies 15-3 Ssangnim-dong in Jung-gu, a short walk from Dongdaemun Design Plaza, and its Dining Suite sleeps two as standard (max four) across two bedrooms and 35 square meters, priced from ₩306,000 a night on the flexible-cancellation rate (2026-09-19, official site). The building holds 12 numbered units, 101 through 702, spread across seven floors and seven suite types, so the room a guest books, not the building as a whole, determines the group it fits. A kitchen and dining table appear in the Dining, Maru, Terrace and Penthouse suites, which means a family or two couples can cook for themselves through a multi-night stay instead of eating out every meal.

Check-in runs through a self-check-in kiosk instead of a staffed desk, which matters for anyone landing at Incheon on a late flight and clearing immigration well after standard front-desk hours. The property is fully non-smoking, does not accept pets, and its flexible rate cancels free up to 14 days before arrival; guests beyond a room's base occupancy add ₩10,000 per person per night, and stays of three nights or longer receive a 10% discount on the published rate.

• Seven suite types from a 32㎡ Skyline Suite to a 69㎡, three-bedroom Penthouse
• Self check-in kiosk, useful for late or unpredictable arrival times
• Kitchen and dining table in the Dining, Maru, Terrace and Penthouse suites
• Standard suites cap at four to six guests; only the 702 Penthouse sleeps up to eight

Two couples who want separate bedrooms without splitting into two hotel rooms settle it on room type alone: the Dining and Maru Suites put two bedrooms inside one apartment, and a larger group of six to eight books the 702 Penthouse specifically rather than assuming any suite scales that high.

Marriott Executive Apartments Seoul, Namdaemun

Marriott Executive Apartments Seoul, Namdaemun sits in Yeouido's financial district on the Han River, about 1,969 feet from Yeouido Station on lines 5 and 9, and its Two Bedroom apartment sleeps guests across a full kitchen with oven, dishwasher and microwave plus an in-unit washer and dryer, per the property's own room pages checked 2026-09-14. Studio, one, two and three bedroom layouts are all available, each finished with hardwood floors and a marble bathroom with a rainforest shower.

The amenity list runs well past a typical apartment hotel: a fitness center with an indoor swimming pool, a golf range, a squash court, a sauna and a full spa. Except for Studio Suites, up to two children under 12 stay free per the property's occupancy policy, with an added charge of KRW 54,450 for a third guest.

• Studio through three-bedroom serviced apartments with washer and dryer in every unit
• Indoor pool, golf range, squash court, sauna and spa on site
• Children under 12 stay free (up to two) in one-bedroom units and above
• Airport transfer available with advance notice; photo ID and the booking card required at check-in

Business travelers and families prioritizing hotel-grade facilities over a hyper-central address find the fit here, in exchange for a Yeouido location further from the old-town sightseeing routes.

Oriens Hotel & Residences Myeongdong

Oriens Hotel & Residences Myeongdong stands a three-minute walk from Chungmuro Station and a five-minute walk from Myeongdong Station, and its One Bedroom Suite sleeps two across a published 34 to 51 square meters with a double bed and kitchen, available from $82 a night for a one-night, two-adult stay on 2026-09-21 (checked 2026-09-14, Trip.com). The 120-unit residence runs studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom layouts, with the Two Bedroom Premier Suite sleeping up to five guests.

Daily cleaning is included, unusual among the self-catering properties on this list, and reviewers single out cooking utensils and heated flooring as points of comfort on colder nights. Staff at the front desk offer assistance in English, Chinese and Japanese.

• Studio through two-bedroom units, each with a kitchen from Executive grade up
• Daily housekeeping included, not just on request
• Three-minute walk to Chungmuro Station, five minutes to Myeongdong Station
• Best Rate Promise: a 24-hour price match plus 10% off through the property's own booking engine

A group of four wanting genuine apartment living within walking distance of Myeongdong's restaurants and Namsan Park settles comfortably into the Two Bedroom Deluxe here.

Somerset Palace Seoul

Somerset Palace Seoul, run by Ascott at 7 Yulgok-ro 2-gil in Jongno-gu, sits a three-minute walk from Anguk Station and its Executive Suite sleeps four across two bedrooms and 80 square meters, priced from $145 a night for a two-adult stay checked 2026-09-14 (Kayak). The 18-story residence runs from 29-square-meter studios to a 112-square-meter Penthouse Premier sleeping up to five, and every unit includes a full kitchen with hob, microwave, toaster and cutlery.

Family-facing extras separate this property from the others on the list: a rooftop outdoor pool and garden, and a dedicated children's playroom. Guests note the lack of grounded electrical outlets in the rooms, which means non-Korean plugs need a two-prong adapter.

• Full kitchen in every studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and penthouse layout
• Rooftop pool, rooftop garden and a children's playroom on site
• Three-minute walk to Anguk Station, five minutes to Gwanghwamun Station
• Two-prong adapter needed; rooms lack grounded outlets

Families with children who want palace-district sightseeing on foot, plus a pool and playroom back at the residence, are the clearest fit for Somerset Palace Seoul.

Stay7 Mapo Residence

Stay7 Mapo Residence sits on Mapo-daero in Mapo-gu, roughly a ten-minute walk from Aeogae Station and about one kilometer from Seoul Station, with 65 guestrooms each built around a kitchenette stocked with utensils, a refrigerator and an in-room washing machine. Check-in starts at 2:00 PM and check-out runs until noon, and cancellation up to one day before arrival incurs no fee (a no-show or later cancellation charges the first night).

The property skips the extras found at the fuller-service residences on this list: no cots are available for children, and breakfast is a paid add-on at KRW 5,914 per person, not included. Free private parking is available on site without a reservation, and pets are not permitted.

• Kitchenette with utensils, fridge and in-room washer in every unit
• Roughly 10-minute walk to Aeogae Station, about 1km from Seoul Station
• No cots for children; breakfast is a paid add-on
• Free cancellation up to one day before arrival

Solo travelers and couples on an extended, budget-conscious residence-hotel stay get the most out of Stay7, more than families needing extra bedding or breakfast included.
