Best Seoul Serviced Apartment Hotels for a Family of Six (Myeongdong, Hongdae, 2026)

Long Weekend Haus DDP's Maru Suite sleeps six people in one booked unit, two bedrooms and a kitchen at 44 square meters, from US$328.91 a night on its flexible rate (Stayfolio, checked 2026-10-14). For a family of six comparing a serviced apartment or family apartment hotel in Seoul for a 2026 trip, the question to settle first is whether one unit actually holds six people under one roof with its own kitchen, instead of two separate rooms booked side by side near Myeongdong or Hongdae. That single fact, more than the neighborhood printed on the map, decides whether the family cooks breakfast together or eats out every morning, and it sets the order for the comparison below.

Long Weekend Haus DDP

Long Weekend Haus DDP sits six minutes' walk from Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station and Dongdaemun Design Plaza in Jung-gu, Seoul; its Maru Suite (units 202, 302 and 402) sleeps up to six guests across two bedrooms and one bathroom at 44 square meters, from US$328.91 a night on the flexible rate (Stayfolio, checked 2026-10-14). Long Weekend Haus runs the property as a 12-unit, 7-room-type aparthotel spanning units 101 through 702, with a kitchen built into every room type, per the operator's own structured listing data re-confirmed 2026-09-19. The block neighbors Gwangjang Market, Euljiro and Myeongdong, according to Stayfolio's listing (checked 2026-10-14), which puts a family's second and third days of sightseeing within walking distance of the stay itself. A family of six paying the Maru Suite's base rate covers three guests at that price; the other three add a flat KRW 10,000 per person per night, a cost the official site states as a separate line, not folded into one blended nightly figure. Families who want two bathrooms instead of one, or headroom for a sixth and seventh guest on a pull-out, can book the Penthouse (unit 702) instead: three bedrooms, two bathrooms, 69 square meters, base occupancy four and maximum eight.

Check-in runs through a self-service kiosk, not a staffed front desk, so a flight landing at Incheon past midnight doesn't collide with anyone's shift hours; check-in starts at 15:00 and check-out is 11:00, and the lead guest on the booking must be 19 or older. Wi-Fi is free across every unit, the whole property is non-smoking, and the flexible rate cancels free up to 14 days before arrival; stays of three nights or longer carry a 10% discount on the published rate, both published on the operator's own booking terms (checked 2026-09-19). Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station runs lines 2, 4 and 5, and the ride from that station to Myeongdong Station is one stop on line 4, which puts Myeongdong's shopping streets within a single subway hop, with no transfer needed.

If your family of six needs to settle into one booked unit, with its own kitchen, within a few minutes of Dongdaemun Design Plaza and a single subway stop from Myeongdong, the Maru Suite or the Penthouse at Long Weekend Haus DDP answers that directly: six beds and a working kitchen under one roof, instead of two separate rooms split across a hallway.

UH Suite The Seoul

UH Suite The Seoul, at 211 Mallijae-ro in Jung-gu, places its Family City Suite within six minutes' walk of Seoul Station (Expedia, checked 2026-11-01): three bedrooms, three queen beds, a separate living room and a dining area, sleeping six guests in one unit. The property sits near Lotte Outlets Seoul Station and Namdaemun Market, run by UHC, the operator behind the UH Suite line across Seoul. A kitchenette is listed in each unit on the property's Paralenz page (checked 2026-11-01), so a family of six can put together breakfast or a late snack without leaving the suite. The suite's three closed bedrooms mean grandparents, parents and kids can each shut a door at night instead of sharing one open floor, and the attached living and dining area gives the group a shared space for breakfast or games that a standard twin hotel room doesn't have.

Expedia lists an aggregate guest rating of 8.6 out of 10 for UH Suite The Seoul, checked 2026-11-01. Bookings run through UH Suite's own site alongside OTA listings. If a family of six wants three separate bedrooms and one shared living and dining room near Seoul Station instead of a single open two-bedroom layout, UH Suite The Seoul's Family City Suite is built for exactly that shape of trip, and its Jung-gu address keeps Myeongdong's shopping streets and Namdaemun Market within the same short transit hop that the rest of this comparison treats as the baseline for a central Seoul stay.

What a Family of Six Should Confirm Before Booking

A family hotel apartment built for six people in Seoul needs at least two bedrooms and, ideally, two bathrooms, because a single king-and-twin split rarely clears six guests without a rollaway or sofa bed added to the count. Each property above states its own bed and bedroom count on its booking page instead of leaving capacity to a generic "sleeps six" label: Long Weekend Haus DDP's Maru Suite lists two bedrooms and one bathroom for six, its Penthouse lists three bedrooms and two bathrooms for up to eight, and UH Suite The Seoul's Family City Suite lists three bedrooms and three queen beds for six. A serviced apartment with a kitchen changes the cost math for a trip longer than three or four nights, since six people eating even one meal a day in the unit cuts into the restaurant budget a standard hotel room would otherwise force on the group.

Check-in method matters as much as room count for a family landing on a long-haul flight. Long Weekend Haus DDP's kiosk check-in removes the front-desk clock from the equation, while a staffed property ties arrival to normal front-desk hours unless a late-arrival note is confirmed with the property in advance. Cancellation terms vary by room, not by property, so check them room by room: Long Weekend Haus DDP's flexible rate cancels free 14 days out; Orakai Insadong Suites' own cancellation terms vary by the room and rate selected at booking, according to Booking.com's listing for the property (checked 2026-11-01). A family suite built for six that also lists a kitchen, a self check-in option and a stated bedroom count gives a traveling party the clearest match between the room on the page and the room six people actually sleep in.
