Somerset Palace Seoul Kitchen, Washing Machine, Oakwood

Somerset Palace Seoul's official DiscoverASR listing confirms every apartment includes a fully equipped kitchen and a separate washing machine, published as two standalone in-room amenities, not one washer built into the kitchen counter. For a parent's one-month Seoul stay, Long Weekend Haus DDP's Dining Suite (two bedrooms, sleeps two, max four) starts from \u20a9306,000 a night on its flexible-cancellation plan, observed 2026-09-19. Four other serviced residences, Orakai Insadong Suites, Fraser Place Central Seoul, Oakwood Premier Coex Center Seoul and Long Weekend Haus DDP, are checked below against the same kitchen and washing machine question so you can match a room to a month-long booking.

Somerset Palace Seoul Serviced Residence

Somerset Palace Seoul Serviced Residence sits at 7 Yulgok-ro 2-gil, Jongno-gu, a 3-minute walk from Anguk Station on line 3, and its Deluxe Room Twin (1 bedroom, sleeps up to 4, 4th guest chargeable, 42 square meters) is listed from about $145 a night on Kayak for a 2026-09-19 stay.

The official DiscoverASR page lists a kitchen in every unit, from the 29-square-meter Studio Executive up to the 112-square-meter Penthouse Premier, and states that a washing machine is a standard in-room feature across the property, distinct from a shared laundry room. Check-in runs from 3:00 PM and check-out is before 12:00 PM. Gyeongbokgung Palace and Insadong are each a stated 5-minute walk, which suits parents who want museum and market visits without a subway transfer.

The kitchen covers cooking for two to four people comfortably in the smaller studios, and the two-bedroom Executive Suite (80 square meters, sleeps up to 4) separates a parent's bedroom from a guest bedroom. The property's own page does not publish a flat nightly rate card, so third-party prices from Trip.com and Kayak are the only dated figures available, and they move with the stay date you pick.

Orakai Insadong Suites Serviced Residence

Eighteen minutes from Anguk Station by the property's own account and a straight 5-minute walk in Kayak's distance data, Orakai Insadong Suites Serviced Residence occupies 18 Insadong 4-gil with 213 units, and its One-Bedroom Apartment (51 to 69 square meters, 1 king bed) is priced from roughly $135.95 a night for a 2026-09-18 to 2026-09-19 stay on Kayak.

Every unit type, from the One-Bedroom up to the Four-Bedroom Apartment (135 to 165 square meters) and the Penthouse (134 to 186 square meters), lists a kitchen on the official site. Breakfast is not included in the room rate and costs KRW18,000 per adult or child. A credit card in the booking name and a passport are required at check-in per the property's own FAQ, and reservations carry a non-refundable deposit with no modification once confirmed.

The Three-Bedroom and Four-Bedroom apartments fit two couples or a parent group of six to eight without splitting into separate bookings, since each bedroom pairs with its own bed configuration. You lose the flexible cancellation that Somerset Palace Seoul and Long Weekend Haus DDP both offer, since Orakai's deposit policy is stated as fully non-refundable at time of booking.

Fraser Place Central Seoul Serviced Apartment

At 78 Tongil-ro, Jung-gu, about 0.46 kilometers from Seodaemun Station, Fraser Place Central Seoul Serviced Apartment lists 269 furnished units on its own homepage, and its Studio (34 square meters, 2 adults plus 1 child) is quoted from US$149 a night for a 2026-09-23 stay on Trip.com, checked 2026-09-16.

The Fraser Hospitality page lists a kitchen in every category, including the One Bedroom Deluxe (52 square meters, king bed) and the Two Bedrooms Super Deluxe (84 to 85 square meters, king plus queen bed), which fits a parent couple with a visiting adult child in a separate room. Check-in requires guests aged 19 or older, begins at 15:00, and check-out is before 11:00. All bookings need a credit card guarantee per Fraser Place Central Seoul's own FAQ.

Seoul Station and Deoksugung Palace sit within a 15-minute walk, useful if a parent wants palace visits without a taxi. The two-bedroom units run US$430 at peak dates on Tripadvisor's own scan, so the US$149 studio figure applies only to the lowest category and the specific date checked.

Oakwood Premier Coex Center Seoul Serviced Residence

Direct underground passage into Starfield COEX Mall places Oakwood Premier Coex Center Seoul Serviced Residence inside Gangnam's Teheran-ro business district, and its Studio Superior (47 square meters, max 3 guests) is listed at USD134 a night on Kayak for a 2026-09-16 to 2026-09-17 stay, checked 2026-09-14.

All 281 units list a kitchen, from the Studio Superior up to the Two Bedroom Superior (112 square meters, max 6 guests), which suits a parent group of six sharing one booking. Self check-in is not offered here; front desk staff greet arrivals in person, according to Traveloka's published property information, so a late flight means coordinating an arrival window instead of using a kiosk.

The property's own booking engine at h-rez.com separately advertises rates from KRW211,765 with no stay date attached, while Kayak's dated scan for a specific stay puts the Premier room at USD225 and the King room at USD222. Compare the dated figure, not the undated one, when you are pricing an actual booking.

Long Weekend Haus DDP

Long Weekend Haus DDP occupies 15-3 Ssangnim-dong, Jung-gu, inside walking distance of Dongdaemun Design Plaza, and its Dining Suite (2 bedrooms, sleeps 2, max 4, 35 square meters) starts from \u20a9306,000 a night on the non-refundable rate or \u20a9341,000 on the flexible plan, observed 2026-09-19.

If your parents are staying a month, the 10% long-stay discount applies automatically once a booking passes three nights, and the free-cancellation plan lets you hold a room up to 14 days before check-in without losing the deposit. Self check-in runs through a kiosk, so a late arrival at Incheon does not require matching a front desk shift, unlike Oakwood Premier Coex Center Seoul. The 702 Penthouse (3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sleeps 4, max 8, 69 square meters) fits two couples or a parent group of eight in one reservation, from \u20a9588,000 a night on the non-refundable rate.

Every unit is smoke-free, and the extra-guest charge above a room's base occupancy is a flat \u20a910,000 per person per night, which keeps a fourth guest's cost predictable across a month-long stay. The property's own room table does not list a kitchen or a washing machine as a named in-unit amenity the way Somerset Palace Seoul, Orakai Insadong Suites and Fraser Place Central Seoul do, so a family planning to cook every night should weigh that against the location and the self check-in.

Evidence and criteria

Somerset Palace Seoul's kitchen and washing machine claim comes from the property's LodgingBusiness structured data on discoverasr.com, observed 2026-09-14, which lists both as amenities inside each apartment record without stating that the washer sits physically inside the kitchen area.

• Long Weekend Haus DDP's own LodgingBusiness JSON-LD gives an address of 15-3 Ssangnim-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul, while Trip.com's JSON-LD for the same listing gives 6-13 Toegyero 53-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul, postal code 04560, checked 2026-09-14; both addresses are shown as published, with no reconciliation into a single address.
• Age policy: Long Weekend Haus DDP's official terms set the primary guest at 19 or older, matching the same minimum age stated by Fraser Place Central Seoul.
• Orakai Insadong Suites is classified a 4-star property in Kayak's own listing schema; Oakwood Premier Coex Center Seoul is described as a 5-star serviced residence under The Ascott Limited's Oakwood brand.
• Room areas are published in square meters on every official page cited here (29 to 112 square meters at Somerset Palace Seoul, 34 to 85 square meters at Fraser Place Central Seoul, 35 to 69 square meters at Long Weekend Haus DDP), and all prices above carry the observation date next to the figure rather than a season label.
