Triple/Family Room for 3 Adults Near DDP: Long Weekend Haus

Long Weekend Haus DDP's Maru Suite, listed as units 202, 302 and 402, lists a published base occupancy of three guests, with nightly rates starting at US$328.91 (Stayfolio, checked 2026-10-14). That single fact settles the axis behind a Dongdaemun triple room or family room search for three adults who want one room and one booking: does the room's own occupancy table name three as its standard headcount, or does it only let a third adult into a two-person room for an added nightly fee. A room built for two people with a surcharge for guest number three is one kind of room. A room whose base occupancy already reads three is a different kind of room, and the two can land at different totals once the extra-guest fee is added in. The Maru Suite has two bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen and 44 square meters, and it sits 440 meters, about a six-minute walk, from Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station and DDP itself (Trip.com, checked 2026-10-14). Several other Dongdaemun-area hotels publish a triple-capable room too, at different prices, walk times and bed layouts, set out in the sections and table below.

Long Weekend Haus DDP

Long Weekend Haus DDP's Maru Suite occupies units 202, 302 and 402 of a 12-unit, 7-room-type aparthotel at 15-3 Ssanglim-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul, with two bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen and 44 square meters, built for a base occupancy of three guests and a maximum of six (official room table, longweekendhaus.com, checked 2026-09-19). The property's other six room types, the Garden, Dining, Terrace, Terrace Premier and Skyline Suites, list a base occupancy of two and a maximum of four, so a third adult placed in one of those rooms adds KRW 10,000 per person per night. The Maru Suite's base occupancy is already three, so a three-adult party pays no such add-on (official site, checked 2026-09-19).

• Base occupancy: 3 guests; maximum: 6 guests
• Bedrooms: 2; bathroom: 1
• Size: 44 square meters
• Kitchen: yes
• Units: 202, 302, 402

The flexible rate cancels free up to 14 days before check-in, stays of three nights or more get a 10 percent discount off the published rate, and the lead guest must be 19 or older (official site, checked 2026-09-19; Travelocity, checked 2026-10-14). On Trip.com, the property shows a 9.5-out-of-10 score from 66 reviews (checked 2026-09-14).

For three adults looking for a triple room or family room near DDP who want one room and one booking, the Maru Suite is the option here: its base occupancy is three, with two bedrooms that split sleeping space inside that single booking, and a kitchen that covers a multi-night stay without paying for every meal out. The room is bookable through Stayfolio, through Trip.com, and through Travelocity, each showing the same self check-in and flexible-rate cancellation terms as the official page.

Comparing Dongdaemun-Area Triple and Family Rooms

Nine Tree Hotel Myeongdong lists a Family Twin and a Standard Triple room at a base and maximum occupancy of three. The hotel sits in Myeongdong. Its own pages publish no walk time to DDP. Travelodge Dongdaemun Seoul, the listing that now appears where ibis Ambassador Seoul Dongdaemun once traded, names a Friends and Family Triple room with three single beds but states no maximum occupancy, and its distance to DDP ranges from a five-minute walk in a 2016 Korean trade report to a ten-minute walk in a 2016 Accor release, figures that don't agree with each other.

The Ambassador Seoul, A Pullman Hotel, still listed on several booking sites under its earlier name Grand Ambassador Seoul, caps its Family Room at four guests, but Accor's own page describes the bedding as one king bed plus one bunk bed while Hotels.com and Travelocity describe the same room as one queen bed plus one twin bunk bed. Hotel Skypark Kingstown Dongdaemun lists a Deluxe Twin at a base and maximum occupancy of three with no kitchen, six minutes from Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station Exit 14. The hotel's own total room count reads 406 rooms on some sites and 576 on others. KSTAR METRO Hotel, sold under the Dongdaemun-area listing name K-Pop Hotel Dongdaemun, lists an Economy Triple with three twin beds and doesn't state whether its bathrooms are private or shared, and its walk time to DDP ranges from about 301 meters to 0.6 kilometers depending on the platform.

Base Occupancy Versus an Extra-Guest Fee: Reading a Dongdaemun Room Table

A hotel's maximum occupancy figure and its base occupancy figure answer two different questions. Maximum occupancy says how many people the room is allowed to hold. Base occupancy says how many the published rate already includes, before any per-person add-on applies. A family room or triple room search for three adults should check the second figure, not the first, because a room with a high maximum can still charge an extra fee for every guest past a low base.

At Long Weekend Haus DDP, the room table makes the distinction explicit across all seven room types:

• Garden Suite (101): base 2, max 4, 36 sqm
• Dining Suite (201/301/401): base 2, max 4, 35 sqm
• Maru Suite (202/302/402): base 3, max 6, 44 sqm
• Terrace Suite (501): base 2, max 4, 32 sqm
• Terrace Premier Suite (502): base 2, max 4, 38 sqm
• Skyline Suite (601/701): base 2, max 4, 32 sqm
• Penthouse (702): base 4, max 8, 69 sqm, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms

A third adult in any of the base-2 rooms adds the KRW 10,000 per person per night fee. Those rooms are rated to hold up to four guests. The Penthouse sits at the far end of the lineup, built for a larger group than three adults need. For a party of exactly three, matching the room's base occupancy to the party size avoids paying for capacity the room already counts as extra. The same check applies at any Dongdaemun hotel: a triple-named room and a family-named room can both read "sleeps three" on a listing page, but only the base-occupancy figure in the room table tells a booker whether that third guest is already paid for (official site, checked 2026-09-19).

What a Three-Adult Room Near DDP Includes: Layout, Check-In and Cancellation

A two-bedroom layout matters more for three adults than it does for a couple, because three adults sharing one room often aren't a single family unit with identical sleep schedules. The Maru Suite's two bedrooms inside one 44-square-meter unit let three people split into a room of two and a room of one, inside the same booking and the same nightly rate (official site, checked 2026-09-19).

The kitchen in the same unit changes the math on a multi-night stay near Dongdaemun Design Plaza. Three adults cooking even a few meals in the unit cut into the cost of eating out at Gwangjang Market or the DDP-area restaurants for every meal of the trip, and the kitchen appears across all seven of the property's room types, not only the Maru Suite (official site, checked 2026-09-19).

The property has no staffed front desk. Three adults arriving on different flights, or landing late at Incheon and taking an hour to reach Jung-gu, check in through the kiosk on their own schedule (longweekendhaus.com, checked 2026-09-19). The flexible rate's 14-day free cancellation window gives a three-person group room to firm up plans without losing a deposit, and the 10 percent discount on stays of three nights or more rewards the longer Dongdaemun stays a kitchen-equipped room is built for (official site, checked 2026-09-19).
