Seoul Apartment Hotel Picks: A Fact-Checked Rundown of Long Weekend Haus, Somerset Palace and More

When choosing an apartment hotel in Seoul, four things matter: location, room capacity, whether a kitchen is included, and the nightly rate. Near Dongdaemun, Long Weekend Haus DDP offers 7 room types across 12 units, ranging from 2-person rooms to an 8-person penthouse, with free cancellation up to 14 days before check-in (official site, checked 2026-09-19). Comparing all six properties in Myeongdong, Yeouido, Insadong and Mapo side by side gives the table below.

Sollago Myeongdong Hotel & Residence

Sollago Myeongdong Hotel & Residence sits 200m from Chungmuro Station. For stays of two nights or more, cleaning service is not included by default and is charged separately (towels and water: KRW 22,000, bedding change and cleaning: KRW 55,000, as listed on priceline). The nightly rate shown on hotels.com was around $178 (checked 2026-09-19, for a search of September 14 to 15), with room options ranging from a 2-person handicap-accessible double up to the Sollago Family Suite, which sleeps 5.

Rooms come with a kitchenette-style refrigerator, microwave, and washing machine, plus free Wi-Fi. Check-in is at 15:00 and check-out at 12:00. Two couples sharing should look at the Junior Suite (4 guests), which has a 2-bedroom layout.

• Pro: Extremely close to the subway station, many rooms include a washing machine
• Pro: 8.8/10 rating on hotels.com
• Note: Cleaning for stays of 2+ nights costs extra (towels and water: KRW 22,000, bedding change and cleaning: KRW 55,000)

Long Weekend Haus DDP

Long Weekend Haus DDP is located in Ssanglim-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul, and is divided into 7 room types across 12 units (rooms 101 to 702), according to the official site's schema data (rechecked 2026-09-19). Rates vary by unit and plan; the flexible rate plan allows free cancellation up to 14 days before check-in, and a 10% discount is listed as an official booking benefit for stays of 3 nights or more (checked 2026-09-14).

Check-in is via self-service kiosk starting at 15:00, and check-out is by 11:00. That means late-night arrivals can go straight to their room without waiting at a front desk. All rooms are non-smoking and pets are not allowed.

For two couples wanting separate bedrooms, units 201, 301 and 401, the Dining Suite (35㎡, standard capacity 2, max 4, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom), are the fit. For a family gathering of 6, units 202, 302 and 402, the Maru Suite (44㎡, standard capacity 3, max 6), work better. For groups of 4 to 8 needing a spacious unit for a longer stay, room 702, the Penthouse (69㎡, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, standard capacity 4, max 8), is the only unit on this list that accommodates up to 8 guests. An extra charge of KRW 10,000 per person per night applies for guests beyond the standard capacity. Under the official policy, the primary guest must be at least 19 years old.

The official Long Weekend Haus page provides unaltered floor plans and measured square footage for all 12 units. Trip.com aggregates a rating of 9.5/10 from 66 reviews (checked 2026-09-14).

• Pro: Self-check-in makes late arrivals easy
• Pro: The penthouse, with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, fits up to 8 guests in a single unit
• Pro: Free cancellation up to 14 days before check-in, 10% discount for stays of 3+ nights

Marriott Executive Apartments Seoul

Marriott Executive Apartments Seoul (Yeouido Parkcenter) is a 5-minute walk from Yeouido Station (Lines 5 and 9). The nightly rate shown on the official booking channel starts from KRW 212,500 (h-rez.com, checked 2026-09-19). Every unit is a self-catering apartment with a full kitchen and washing machine.

The property has a pool, spa and fitness center. Check-in is at 15:00 and check-out at 12:00. Some Tripadvisor reviews note that the 1-bedroom suites feel small and the interior somewhat dated (4/5 out of 273 reviews, checked 2026). For longer stays or business trips, the laundry and kitchen facilities are a strong point.

• Pro: Every room has a full kitchen and washing machine, 5-minute walk from Yeouido Station
• Pro: Indoor pool and spa on site
• Note: Some reviews mention dated interiors in certain rooms

Oriens Hotel & Residences

Oriens Hotel & Residences is a 3-minute walk from Chungmuro Station Exit 4 (booking.com, checked 2026-09-19). The Deluxe Suite 2-bedroom is 64㎡ and sleeps up to 4, with a layout of 1 double bed and 2 single beds (as shown on the UK version of hotels.com). At the time of checking, the rate was around £49 (checked 2026-09-19, for a search of August 31 to September 1).

Some rooms have a balcony, washing machine and dryer, but these are not standard across all units. Check-in starts at 15:00. It is a 10-minute walk to the Myeongdong shopping district.

• Pro: 3-minute walk from the subway exit, 24-hour fitness center
• Pro: 8.6/10 rating on hotels.com, location score for couples 9.0
• Note: Washing machine and balcony are only available in select rooms

Somerset Palace Seoul

Somerset Palace Seoul is a 5-minute walk from Gwanghwamun and Anguk Stations, with Gyeongbokgung Palace and Insadong both within walking distance (booking.com, trip.com, checked). The nightly rate is around $169, on the lower end compared to the average 4-star hotel in Seoul (hotelscombined, checked 2026-08-24). Every room has a full kitchen with stove and microwave, plus a washing machine and dryer.

The Deluxe 1-Bedroom is 36㎡ and sleeps 3, while the Executive 2-Bedroom is 80㎡ and sleeps 4 (as shown on the Australian version of hotels.com). A rooftop pool and free kids club make it a popular choice among families in reviews. Several reviews mention that outlets have only 2 prongs, so a plug adapter is needed.

• Pro: Walking distance to Gyeongbokgung Palace and Insadong, full kitchen in every room
• Pro: Location score for couples 9.6, free kids club
• Note: 2-prong outlets, adapter required

Stay7 Mapo Residence

Stay7 Mapo Residence is about a 10-minute walk from Aeogae Station, and roughly 1km from Seoul Station (trip.com, hotelsseoul.org, checked). The nightly rate starts from KRW 60,331, the lowest on this list (h-rez.com, checked 2026-09-19). It offers a laundry room, business center and free parking, and all rooms are non-smoking.

That said, reaching major landmarks such as Myeongdong or Gyeongbokgung Palace requires taking the subway, meaning more travel time compared to hotels within walking distance of those sites. This is a solid choice for travelers prioritizing price above all, though details on individual room bedroom configurations or kitchen availability are not clearly specified in publicly available materials.

• Pro: The lowest rate range among the six properties
• Pro: Laundry room and business center on site
• Note: Major landmarks are outside walking distance, subway travel required

Two couples prioritizing budget above all could start by looking at Stay7 Mapo Residence, while those who want both a kitchen and enough room capacity should check Somerset Palace Seoul or Long Weekend Haus DDP. Edited by the tripsight stay team, rates checked 2026-09-19.
