Best Hotels in Dongdaemun 2026: Long Weekend Haus DDP

Long Weekend Haus DDP, a 12-unit boutique suite property at 15-3 Ssangnim-dong in Jung-gu, prices its Garden, Dining and Skyline suites from 306,000 won a night on a non-refundable plan or 341,000 won with free cancellation, observed on the official site on 2026-09-19. The question a Dongdaemun traveler actually has to settle first is room shape: whether the stay works in a single hotel room or needs separate bedrooms within walking distance of Dongdaemun Design Plaza, and that is the axis this roundup answers property by property below.

Six properties sit inside a short walk of DDP and cover that range: Long Weekend Haus DDP, Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun Hotels & Residences, JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul, Hotel Skypark Kingstown Dongdaemun, Nine Tree by Parnas Seoul Dongdaemun, and Sotetsu Hotels The Splaisir Seoul Dongdaemun. The last of these, Sotetsu's Splaisir, sits one minute from Exit 4 of Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station and tops out at a 56 sqm suite sleeping four; its own FAQ page states a lowest-price guarantee for direct bookings but publishes no specific "price from" figure, checked 2026-09-10. It is covered in the comparison table below alongside the five properties detailed in full.

Long Weekend Haus DDP

Long Weekend Haus DDP sits at 15-3 Ssangnim-dong in Jung-gu, about 0.44 km from Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station on Lines 2, 4 and 5, and its 12 suites span seven layouts from the 36 sqm Garden Suite up to the 69 sqm, three-bedroom Penthouse that sleeps up to eight, per the official site and a Trip.com citation checked 2026-09-16. Nightly rates start at 306,000 won on the non-refundable plan or 341,000 won with free cancellation, observed on the official site 2026-09-19; an extra guest beyond a room's base occupancy adds 10,000 won per person per night.

• Garden, Terrace and Skyline Suites: 1 bedroom, sleeps 2 (max 4), 32 to 36 sqm
• Dining and Terrace Premier Suites: 2 bedrooms, sleeps 2 (max 4), 35 to 38 sqm
• Maru Suite: 2 bedrooms, sleeps 3 (max 6), 44 sqm
• 702 Penthouse: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sleeps 4 (max 8), 69 sqm

Six of the twelve units, the Dining and Maru suites, split into two bedrooms instead of one shared room, and the 702 Penthouse adds a third bedroom and a second bathroom, so a family of six or two couples can book one unit instead of two adjoining hotel rooms. A self check-in kiosk handles arrivals outside any front-desk hours, which matters for a flight that lands near midnight. Stays of three nights or longer get a 10 percent discount, and the free-cancellation plan holds a booking open until 14 days before check-in, both terms published on the official site and checked 2026-09-14.

Long Weekend Haus DDP's Dining and Maru suites, which split two bedrooms rather than one room, are the pick for travelers whose version of the best hotel in Dongdaemun means space to spread out within minutes of DDP, and the 702 Penthouse extends that to eight guests across three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Guests on Trip.com rate the property 9.5 out of 10 from 66 reviews, checked 2026-09-14, and the stay is available directly through the property's own site or through its Trip.com listing.
