Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Dongdaemun District

Lala's home was by far the best Airbnb I've stayed in in Seoul. The best part was that there were two bathrooms with modern equipment, so my group and I could use them separately. The decor was very tasteful and added to the quality of my stay. There is a large mall nearby, which was great for shopping and stocking up on essentials. The KTX station is a 6-7 minute walk away, which was perfect for my next stop, Busan. I was very happy with everything about this place and will definitely be back.

It was a subway trip with the kids, and the accommodation was right in front of the station, so it was really convenient. It was nice to have convenience stores, cafes, bakeries, and other shops open until late. The accommodation was tidy and it was a more enjoyable trip because it was a duplex Above all, the clean environment and plenty of towels were the best things that I could use them as much as I wanted.

Better than the photos! Such a charming accommodation 🩷🩷

Mimi was the best host I’ve ever met. She would reply within minutes, and also checked in with us daily to see if we’re comfortable or needed any help. It was a last-minute booking because our flight got delayed and we ended up in Seoul for a few days, but it was a great decision! The location itself isn’t anywhere near the tourist hotspots, but it’s easy to get to the subways and to the airport shuttle bus stop as well. Thank you, Mimi :)

i had a great stay at this airbnb! the space was very clean, spacious, and comfortable, making it the perfect place to relax after a full day of exploring the city. the host was responsive and check-in was smooth and easy. would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting seoul!

Loved this cosy apartment. Was decorated beautifully and had everything we needed! So many sweet touches with drinks in the fridge for us on arrival! Loved having beers on the roof in the sun. In a good, quiet location with lots of local restaurants. Only a short walk to the station and easy to get to the tourist hot spots. Thank you so much! Would definitely stay again.

This place was great, as well as the host Jane and her very helpful mother. It felt like home and we didn’t want to leave. Will definitely book the same accommodation again when we come back.

My wife and I stayed here for two nights in June 2025. If you are looking for a truly unique, peaceful but modern hanok experience in Seoul, you must come and stay here. Each and every furniture and amenity has been curated and carefully thought of. The local recommendations and little details provided were spot on. Our host Jee and her husband has made a space to come and and unwind any stress in a truly beautiful setting and in a neighbourhood away from the typical “tourist” areas of Seoul. This is genuine modern hanok experience - highly recommended for the discerning couple.

Great location with access to buses and metro and a palace 5 minutes away on foot! Lots of cafes and restaurants, and a pharmacy and convenience store less than 3 minutes walk away. It's perfect for the solo traveller. It may be small but it has everything uou need, including a comfy bed!

Perfect location, just steps away from the metro, super convenient to get around. The host was always responsive and very friendly. I stayed for 3 months and had a great experience. Highly recommend!

Great location, great size, very responsive host. Would definitely attend again!

Jason was a great host that was really responsive and answered our requests/questions really well in English! Location was super near 2 convenience stores that are open 24/7, it was easy to find and convenient to travel from place to place like Seong-Su. Great experience!

It felt like a home. 🏡🏢 That was the one sentence that popped out in my mind after a two-night stay. The photos given were clear so we could easily find the stay. The host was always proactive and very well-mannered. We need the address for our visa matters and the host immediately responded with care and made sure everything was okay on our side. A 10/10 for that 💯 Location wise, very strategic, as it is right outside of a subway station entrance/exit. Even with luggages, you can take the subway and it will lead you to the stay directly. Everything in the place is clean. Very clean. There are even free coffee capsules and beverages and water (most important thing to us) are provided! ☕ It felt like a home, a really warm-hearted one. Feel free to come if you are ever in Seoul. I believe the host will make sure it is a perfect stay for you. 👍🏻

A good location, close to a lot of areas. It was clean and a good accommodation.

Our airbnb host JM house has been the best host till now. Not only did he help me with finding our airbnb and other stuffs related to the Airbnb, he helped us with early luggage delivery and storage. He was very helpful and had quick response which helped us a lot. He did bring help in a short notices. He was so flexible with our check out time which gave us extra time to relax. The apartment was the most beautiful and comfortable place I have stayed. The views are amazing and the apartment is close to shopping centre, stations and 1 minute walk to bus station. It was so convenient for us. Would definitely recommend it Thank you so much for all the help and making our stay very special.

We had a great stay here - a lovely clean apartment with plenty of room to move around and close to the subway system. A great base to get around the city!

JD was a very esponsive host and his place was cozy and clean with many nice small touches. The location was also great and near to the train station and main Hongdae area.

Great location with numerous restaurants in the area, and access to multiple subway lines as well! The place was quaint and the small touch of setting up the radio to Seoul’s classical music station was really nice. We can’t wait to come back for another trip in the future!

The place is quiet and spacious compare to the other airbnb's in seoul. Definitely very worth the buck. It may be quite far from the central seoul but it is very accessible to subway line 4. Convenience stores and a lot of restaurants nearby.

Fun stay in an interesting neighbourhood! The place was extremely clean and very comfortable. The host was very friendly and answered all questions quickly. Things were generally as-expected and the experience was seamless and enjoyable. The floating bed was a unique touch and we enjoyed it, but those who are especially tall or have limited mobility might find it a challenge to get in and out of.

We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment. It’s very close to Namsan Tower — we took the bus up and walked down, which was a great experience. You can also easily walk to Myeongdong, which is super convenient, and Seoul Station is just nearby. The apartment itself is great, and the host was kind and helpful whenever we needed anything. Highly recommend this place! If I come back to Seoul, I’ll definitely try to stay here again if it’s available.

It was a very pleasant stay, very close to Hongdae, I think Hongdae is the best place to visit, and the homestay is very close to the subway station bus station, so it is very convenient to stay here.The homestay is very cozy and feels very homey. The room is not the same as a normal homestay. There are kitchen utensils, washing machine, dryer, laundry detergent, and even curling hair sticks. It is super friendly to girls, and the surrounding environment is very quiet. At night, you don't have to worry about being noisy.The host is also huge and responsive.It's very hard to walk around, and I'll definitely stay here again next time I come.

Great space. Just enough for one person. I think two people would feel cramped. The space is smaller than in the pictures. I like how she decorated the place. It added more warmth to the room. I enjoyed chilling with the warm lighting and under the covers at night. It felt cosy and like home. Host is kind and allowed an early check in, with specific instructions on how to get to her place. She also recommended me places to visit nearby and responded quickly whenever I asked her questions. I’m a solo female traveler so I felt safe because there’s two passcodes to enter the building, unlock the door and a small lift. Cons: There is a steep slope you have to climb before reaching the Airbnb. So pushing luggage up & down is a hassle. The toilet is also really small. It takes about an hour if you want to go to myeongdong/gangnam/dongdaemun. But the airbnb is closer to the airport and highly accessible via bus/train. Overall, great deal for the price! You get what you pay for!

I stayed with a friend for more than a week and we felt good at the accommodation.. William was friendly and communicative. The location is very good, in an area where the locals live ..and from the central area we took the bus about aprox 30 minutes. I highly recommend this accommodation 🤗
