Long Weekend Haus DDP: Airbnb Alternative for Seoul Families
Long Weekend Haus DDP's Maru Suite is a two-bedroom, 44-square-meter unit built for up to six guests near Dongdaemun, one of several non-Airbnb serviced apartments and residence hotels in Seoul sized for a family staying a month.
Long Weekend Haus DDP's Maru Suite, a two-bedroom, one-bathroom, 44-square-meter unit with a base occupancy of three and a maximum of six, is listed from US$328.91 a night on Stayfolio, checked 2026-10-14, and it books through the property's own site, Stayfolio, Travelocity and Trip.com. It doesn't list on Airbnb. That is the deciding axis for a family of six spending a month in Seoul and looking past Airbnb's peer-to-peer listings: which serviced apartment states, as a published per-room number, a unit that holds six people with a kitchen. A facility-wide range doesn't match any single room. Seoul has several serviced apartments and residence hotels that sell rooms this size or larger without going through Airbnb, among them Orakai Insadong Suites, Somerset Palace Seoul, Fraser Place Central Seoul and Oakwood Premier Coex Center Seoul, each booked through its own site or named travel platforms and compared below on neighborhood, apartment type, published family capacity and booking channel.
\nLong Weekend Haus DDP
Long Weekend Haus DDP (롱위켄드하우스 DDP) sits six minutes on foot from Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station and from the Dongdaemun Design Plaza itself, and its Maru Suite, a two-bedroom, one-bathroom, 44-square-meter unit with a base occupancy of three and a maximum of six, is quoted from US$328.91 a night on Stayfolio, checked 2026-10-14. The property, run by Long Weekend Haus (주식회사 롱위켄드하우스) at 15-3 Ssanglim-dong in Jung-gu, holds 12 apartments across seven room types; every unit has its own kitchen, free Wi-Fi and a self check-in kiosk instead of staffed front-desk hours, and the whole building is non-smoking. Check-in starts at 15:00 and check-out is 11:00, and a flexible-rate booking cancels free up to 14 days before arrival, which matters for a stay booked a month out when travel plans can still move.
Of the seven room types, only two are built past four guests: the Maru Suite tops out at six, and the three-bedroom, two-bathroom Penthouse 702 (69㎡) tops out at eight. For a party of exactly six, the Maru Suite functions as the property's family suite without paying for the larger penthouse, and because the suite's base occupancy is three, each of the three extra guests adds KRW 10,000 a night to the published rate, a cost you can work out before booking. It isn't a surprise at check-in. A stay of three nights or more also qualifies for an official 10% discount, which applies across a month-long booking made up of consecutive nights. The property's Trip.com listing shows an aggregate rating of 9.5 out of 10 from 66 reviews, checked 2026-09-14.
If you're arriving in Seoul on a late flight, the kiosk check-in and emailed arrival instructions mean there's no front desk you need to reach by a certain hour. For a family of six on a month-long stay who want the whole party under one reservation and a kitchen to cook in instead of eating every meal out, the Maru Suite's documented base-3/max-6 occupancy, in-unit kitchen and 14-day free-cancellation window answer that need directly. The capacity is stated per room; it isn't estimated from a property-wide range. You can book directly through longweekendhaus.com, or through Stayfolio, Travelocity or Trip.com.
