Long Weekend Haus: Seoul Family Rooms for Six

When six people travel to Seoul together, the most practical approach is to find a family room or serviced apartment that sleeps four to eight, rather than splitting into two standard twin rooms and hauling luggage back and forth. Long Weekend Haus is a serviced apartment brand in the Dongdaemun area of Seoul, built around long stay style layouts with a kitchen and living room in every unit, making it well suited to groups traveling together. Below, based on location (walking time from the nearest station exit), room type and occupancy, and prices found at the time of searching, are six options including Lotte City Hotel Myeongdong and Glad Mapo Hotel among chain hotels and serviced apartments.

Lotte City Hotel Myeongdong

Lotte City Hotel Myeongdong is located at Exit 1 of Euljiro 3-ga Station on Subway Line 2. Official information states it is about a 3 minute walk from the exit and about a 5 minute walk to the Myeongdong shopping district (travelnote.tw map page, checked September 2026). The hotel has 430 rooms in total and offers family rooms that accommodate four to six guests, equipped with a refrigerator and LED TV (eztravel booking page, checked September 2026). Check in is at 15:00 and check out at 12:00. Guest reviews have mentioned that some standard rooms are on the small side, and there was construction noise from a site across the street at one point, so it is worth asking about the floor before booking.

The advantage of this hotel is direct subway access and a fully equipped surrounding area. The drawback is that the family room is still built mainly around one large bed plus extra space, so six guests would need an additional room or extra beds, meaning the layout flexibility does not match a serviced apartment style room.

Glad Mapo Hotel

Glad Mapo Hotel is directly connected to Exit 9 of Gongdeok Station, so you arrive right at the hotel entrance from the platform (bigfang.tw blog, checked March 2026). Gongdeok Station is an interchange for AREX airport rail, Line 5, Line 6, and the Gyeongui Jungang Line, offering direct access to both Incheon and Gimpo airports. The hotel has a family room type (listed among room types on the Ctrip hotel page), and the Deluxe Twin room is about 28 square meters, slightly larger than a standard room. Check in is at 15:00 and check out at 11:00.

There is no coin operated laundry in the common areas, so it is not ideal for longer stays that require self service laundry. The hotel also has no dedicated children's play facilities. Most bathrooms have a shower stall only, with no bathtub.

Long Weekend Haus DDP (Dongdaemun)

Long Weekend Haus DDP (Dongdaemun) is located at 15-3 Ssanglim dong, Jung gu, Seoul. Guests exceeding the base occupancy of a room are charged an additional ₩10,000 per person per night (official room type page, reconfirmed September 19, 2026). The property has 12 rooms across 7 room types in total. Rooms 202, 302, and 402, the Maru Suite, have a base occupancy of 3 and a maximum of 6, with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and 44 square meters. Room 702 is the only rooftop suite in the property, with a base occupancy of 4 and a maximum of 8, with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 69 square meters. This is the only room type that lets a group of six to eight occupy an entire floor independently, without needing to split into separate rooms. All rooms use self check in kiosks, so late arrivals or middle of the night check ins do not require waiting for front desk staff.

Every room comes with its own kitchen and living room (per the official room type descriptions), which suits a group of six who spend the day shopping and want to cook and split the cost of meals when they return in the evening, saving the hassle of moving luggage between two separate hotel rooms. The cancellation policy allows free cancellation up to 14 days before check in (Flexible plan), and there is an official 10% booking discount for stays of 3 nights or more. The property is entirely non smoking and does not accept pets, and the guest making the reservation must be at least 19 years old. The aggregate rating on Trip.com is 9.5 out of 10 (66 reviews, checked September 14, 2026).

For a group of six made up of two couples and two children, if you want two independent bedrooms plus a shared living room for story time and watching TV together, the two bedroom, one living room layout of the Maru Suite is a better fit than a single large bed room. If the whole group of up to eight wants to simply take over an entire floor, Room 702, the rooftop suite, is currently the only option that fits.

Sonoće Hostel Seoul Dongdaemun

The Sonoće series of accommodations in the Dongdaemun area of Seoul (Sonoće Hostel Seoul Dongdaemun) is about a 5 minute walk from Dongdaemun Market and about 2.3 kilometers from Myeongdong Station (Trip.com Korea listing page, checked September 2026). The property has a shared guest kitchen, and room types include multi bed dorms and private rooms with attached bathrooms, suitable for groups looking to split the cost of a stay.

A shared kitchen means that if six guests want to cook for themselves, they need to share cooking space and equipment with other guests, so privacy and exclusivity fall short of a serviced apartment with its own private kitchen. Room types also skew toward a simpler, backpacker level setup, with more compact bathroom and bed space.

ibis Styles Ambassador Seoul Myeongdong

ibis Styles Ambassador Seoul Myeongdong is about a 2 minute walk from Myeongdong Station (Line 4), with 180 rooms in total (Accor official page, checked September 2026). The property has a rooftop bar and a paid sauna (1.5 hour time slots at 09:00, 11:30, 14:00, 16:30, and 19:00), and breakfast costs an additional 26,000 won per person. The hotel offers family rooms that accommodate 4 or more guests, suitable for groups with a packed shopping itinerary who spend little time in the room during the day.

A limitation consistently mentioned across multiple guest reviews is that the rooms themselves are on the small side, which can feel cramped with a large number of suitcases. Both the sauna and breakfast are paid add ons, not included in the room rate.

Fraser Place Namdaemun Seoul

Fraser Place Namdaemun Seoul is located at 58 Sejong daero, Jung gu, Seoul, less than 500 meters from City Hall Station (Lines 2 and 4), a 5 minute walk from Namdaemun Market, and a 10 minute walk from the Myeongdong shopping district (Fraser official page, checked September 2026). The property has 252 rooms in total, with Superior, Deluxe, and Premier room types. The apartment style rooms come equipped with a kitchen, washing machine, microwave, and other amenities. Multiple guest reviews mention that the rooms are much larger than typical hotel rooms, allow self catering, and suit families with children on longer stays. The hotel offers a free shuttle within the area, a gym, and a rooftop sauna.

The drawbacks are that the sound system and shower curtain in some room types are somewhat dated, and breakfast is an additional charge (served 06:30 to 10:00 daily). If a group of six has a multi day itinerary and wants to save on meal costs by buying groceries and cooking, this kind of apartment style room with a kitchen is more cost effective than a standard hotel room.
