Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Jongno District

We stayed at Doyoung’s hanok in Bukchon Village for 10 days after two weeks of travel, hoping for a home-like atmosphere where we could cook and reset. While the hanok was beautiful and well-located, the kitchen was missing a few essentials and there were no instructions for how to use appliances—all of which were labeled in Korean. Once we reached out, Doyoung went above and beyond to make things right. He responded incredibly quickly, brought us pastries and flowers to brighten our stay, and even created a neatly designed instruction booklet with photos—impeccably done and completed so fast, we honestly hope he didn’t stay up all night making it! Bukchon Village is a wonderful area—central, walkable, and full of charm. And Doyoung is truly one of the kindest, most responsive hosts we’ve ever had. Despite the initial hiccups, we left feeling incredibly well cared for. Thank you, Doyoung!

The Hanok was beautiful inside and out. The free bottle of wine was a lovely touch. Would definitely stay again when we are back in Seoul.

This award-winning hanok is calm and cozy while also being very beautiful inside. The host was kind and responsive, and provided enough Nespresso for our stay and high-quality bath products. It is on a hill which can be challenging if you have mobility problems, but you can always get a taxi to take you to your door. The AC works very well if needed. It is lovely and minimal, and we enjoyed it very much.

On our trip to Seoul, we sought out a traditional Hanok guesthouse, as it’s a rare opportunity for our dog to travel from China to Korea. We feel incredibly fortunate to have stayed in such an exceptional guesthouse! The house and courtyard are designed with exquisite taste, seamlessly blending traditional and modern elements. The space is spotlessly clean, offering utmost comfort, and everything feels just right! The host and property manager are warm, welcoming, and attentive, quickly addressing any concerns. From before our arrival to throughout our stay, they went out of their way to provide thoughtful and caring service. Thank you for making our Seoul trip truly memorable. We wholeheartedly recommend this guesthouse to everyone!

This is an absolutely beautiful little apartment in a great location in Seochon. Perfect for our stay—would definitely stay here again! Only note is that check-in is rather late (4pm), and early check-in/late check-out is not an option.

This home was magic. There were fresh flowers, beautiful decorations. It was very comfortable and clean, perfect for our stay in Seoul. The location is fantastic. Zuhui sent me the address in Korean script, so it was very easy to get a taxi to drop us off. This home had a very relaxing vibe tō it.

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.

This was maybe the best Airbnb we have stayed in, it was exactly how they described it. It was very clean, near the subway and the host was very helpful. We stayed for a week and it was really good to come back to this place after being out the whole day. We will definitely book here again when we go back, it really was 5 stars for us and we have already recommended it to our other friends who are planning a trip to Seoul.

Great place - excellent value and perfectly located. Would highly recommend.

Great location, just a few steps from the subway station, and the airport limo stops right out front! The host was quick to reply to my inquiries. The space was well stocked with toiletries and kitchen supplies during our stay. Would recommend !

We had a wonderful stay in HyunJin’s place! The location was perfect and the apartment had everything we needed. What really stood out was HyunJin’s communication and attentiveness to making our trip to Seoul as easy and enjoyable as possible. I would totally stay here again and I highly recommend!!

This is a lovely apartment in a really great area of Seoul. It was cosy, comfortable, warm and well equipped! Bruce left clear instructions for check-in and was very responsive on messages. The snacks and drinks were a lovely added bonus. I really enjoyed my week in Seoul at Bruce’s apartment and would recommend it!

amazing place, it was so lovely to sleep in an actually comfortable bed in Seoul (which unfortunately is not a given 😔)! the room was stylish and beautiful, had everything we could possibly need - I'm sure we'll come back next time we're in the city!

The flat is amazing and filled with everything you need from kitchenware to washing machine. The location is amazingly central. Plus Jason is a great host, responding quick and very flexible in terms of luggage storage and help. Highly recommended and would visit his place if I am back in Seoul again.

This is one of the best Airbnbs I’ve stayed in. It was perfectly clean and well organised with lots of thoughtful touches throughout, even including big bath towels which are hard to come by in Korea. The plants give the place a lovely cozy feeling and the projector is amazing. It’s also well located close to two subways stations and the river to a lovely place to go for a walk, I’ll definitely be back!

Had a wonderful stay! The space was spotless, stylish, and exactly as described. Host was responsive and kind throughout. Would definitely stay here again!

My wife and I stayed here for 1 week, and it was well worth what we paid. It was very easy to get around with the metro close by, do note that it’s a steep walk to the apartment if you have mobility issues. It was not a problem for us. The air conditioner worked amazing, as did the hot water. The bed was comfortable & the lack of bedsheets was not a problem and she had this comfy pad on the bad that did not move. The one night some neighbors were loud after quiet hours, we let Kelly know and she handled it very promptly for us, which we appreciated! There’s also a great Indian restaurant nearby, and lots of 7 elevens and other convenience stores. The quality for the price is amazing for Seoul, and we definitely recommend for your next stay if you want a central and affordable place!

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.

We loved our stay at the loft! Thank you Heezin for being quick and available even for questions not related to the accommodation. The apartment could not be better prepared for visitors, everything is available and high quality and beautiful. The view on one side is city lights and reaches all the way to Seoul Tower, on the other side is the green bamboo clad mountain. Which you by the way can walk up, there are walk ways up the mountain right next doors. We loved the neighbourhood and its low key hipster vibe. It’s a lived-in place, and all conveniences are available. People are lovely. Bus 9 takes you down the mountain to town and to the shops if you feel the elevation is challenging. Departs every ten minutes from next door. You should take care if you are really tall, since the apartment is in levels and you risk bumping your head on the loft platform. Nothing would make us hesitate to come back! Hopefully we will be able to in the future.

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.

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!

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.

Place is exactly as pictured. Cozy and has all the essentials. There is a bus stop right in front so super convenient to get around. <5 min walk to Hongdae. You're right near the action but not so close that its too loud. Great location everything you need is right there. I would definitely stay here again.
