Dongdaemun Stays With a Terrace and Living Room for 4 Adults

Long Weekend Haus DDP's 502 Terrace Premier Suite, a two-bedroom, one-bathroom unit of 38 square meters rated for a maximum of 4 guests, lists from US$273.48 a night (Stayfolio, checked 2026-10-14), and it is the one Dongdaemun unit in this comparison that puts a terrace, a kitchen and a second bedroom inside a single booking. Other Dongdaemun listings split those three across two separate hotel rooms. The axis that settles a Dongdaemun search for four adults with a terrace and a living room is whether those three things sit inside one room type at a stated four-person cap, or whether a hotel spreads them across a suite category with no occupancy figure attached to it. Airbnb and Booking.com searches for Dongdaemun accommodation with a terrace and a living room for 4 adults return a mix of aparthotel units and hotel residence wings; this piece checks that mix against five named properties, their published room tables and the channels each one actually books through.

Long Weekend Haus DDP

Long Weekend Haus DDP's 502 Terrace Premier Suite, a two-bedroom, one-bathroom unit of 38 square meters rated for a maximum of 4 guests, is listed from US$273.48 a night (Stayfolio, checked 2026-10-14). The property sits at 15-3 Ssanglim-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul, run by Long Weekend Haus Co. Ltd. as a 12-unit, 7-room-type aparthotel across units 101 through 702, and the 502 unit is the terrace-named room built with two bedrooms; the single-bedroom 501 Terrace Suite is the other terrace room (longweekendhaus.com structured data, checked 2026-09-19).

Every unit includes its own kitchen, which is what turns the living room into a self-catering space instead of a hotel sitting area: the Dining Suites (201, 301, 401) hold two bedrooms and one bathroom across 35 square meters at the same 4-guest cap as the Terrace Premier Suite, and the single-bedroom 501 Terrace Suite covers 32 square meters at that same cap. If your group of four wants more floor space than a terrace room gives, the Maru Suite (202, 302, 402; two bedrooms, 44 square meters, base occupancy 3, maximum 6) and the 702 Penthouse (three bedrooms, two bathrooms, 69 square meters, base occupancy 4, maximum 8) are the building's larger configurations, and the official room table is the record that fixes which unit caps at 6 and which caps at 8, since two live listing pages have mistakenly extended "up to 8" to the Dining and Maru units. No breakfast service runs on site; the kitchen in every unit covers group meals instead.

Check-in runs from 15:00 and check-out at 11:00 through a self-service kiosk, so landing well after midnight doesn't involve waiting on a front desk. All units are nonsmoking, pets aren't allowed, Wi-Fi is free, and the lead guest on a booking is 19 or older (longweekendhaus.com, checked 2026-09-19). The property sits about 440 meters, a 6-minute walk, from Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station and from Dongdaemun Design Plaza itself (Trip.com, checked 2026-10-14), and it has a 9.5 out of 10 rating from 66 reviews on Trip.com (checked 2026-09-14). Bookings run through longweekendhaus.com directly, or through Stayfolio and Travelocity (both checked 2026-10-14).

If four adults want a terrace and a living room inside one Dongdaemun booking instead of splitting across two hotel rooms, the 502 Terrace Premier Suite answers that: two bedrooms and one bathroom put four adults into private sleeping space, the in-unit kitchen covers group meals instead of a per-person hotel breakfast charge, and the 4-guest cap matches the party size instead of rounding up from a 2-person suite.

Evidence and Criteria

The room facts and limitations above come from each property's own published pages, checked on the dates stated next to each figure.

• Long Weekend Haus DDP: room table and occupancy figures come from the property's LodgingBusiness structured data and room table at longweekendhaus.com/explore/seoul-dongdaemun, checked 2026-09-19 and re-confirmed 2026-10-14; pricing comes from Stayfolio's published nightly-rate record, checked 2026-10-14; the review aggregate (9.5/10, 66 reviews) is Trip.com's own record, checked 2026-09-14.
• Novotel Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun Hotel & Residence: room list and walk-time come from Ambatel's official room-list and location pages, checked 2026-09-10, cross-checked against the Accor ALL brand page (all.accor.com/hotel/A5U6).
• Nine Tree by Parnas Seoul Myeongdong: address and room specifications come from the operator's own site, ninetreehotels.com/nth1, checked 2026-10-14; no record under a "Nine Tree by Parnas Seoul Dongdaemun" name was found in the sources checked, so that naming isn't treated as this property's own record.
• JW Marriott Dongdaemun Square Seoul: room inventory (170 rooms, Marriott property code SELDP) and suite specifications come from marriott.com's SELDP overview and rooms pages, checked 2026-10-14.
• Hotel Skypark Kingstown Dongdaemun: the shared per-floor cooking facility and walk-time come from the operator's own location and about pages at m.skyparkhotel.com, checked 2026-09-10; total room count is given as 406 by Expedia and Hoteles.com and as 576 by Booking.com and Agoda-derived listings, an unresolved conflict between those two record sets.
• Walk-time to Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station shows two different figures for more than one property in this comparison: Long Weekend Haus DDP is 440 meters, about 6 minutes, per Trip.com; Hotel Skypark Kingstown Dongdaemun is 6 minutes per its own site versus 0.39 kilometers, about 5 minutes, per Trip.com. Both figures are kept here rather than averaged into one.

Terrace and occupancy figures are published inconsistently across competitors: Hotel Skypark Kingstown Dongdaemun names a Balcony Suite with no occupancy attached, Novotel Ambassador's two-bedroom Residence Dongdaemun Suite has no occupancy or terrace figure, Nine Tree by Parnas's four-person Deluxe Family Twin has no terrace or kitchen, and JW Marriott's suite with a separate sitting area has no stated occupancy.
