Seoul Full Service Apartment Guide in 2026

With South Korea’s recent crackdown on illegal Airbnb listings, many clients have been asking Himedi the same question: “Where can I find a full-service room with a kitchen in Seoul?”

At a similar price point, serviced apartments typically offer over 20% more space than hotels, making them far more comfortable for longer stays.

Today, Himedi has selected five top-rated full-service apartments in Seoul that combine the convenience of home-cooked meals with hotel-grade security and professional management.
