Seoul Aparthotels for Monthly Stays: Long Weekend Haus DDP

Long Weekend Haus DDP, a 12-unit self-catering aparthotel in Seoul's Jung-gu district near Dongdaemun Design Plaza, lists nightly rates from $273.48 for its Terrace Premier Suite to $437.57 for the three-bedroom Penthouse 702 on Stayfolio (checked 2026-10-14), with a lower nightly rate for stays of three nights or more posted on the Long Weekend Haus site (checked 2026-09-19). None of the serviced apartments and aparthotels researched for this guide, including this one, publishes an official monthly-rate card, so the axis that actually separates them for a reader planning a monthly stay in Seoul is simpler: whether every unit has its own kitchen, whether laundry is confirmed in writing, and how clearly the cancellation terms are spelled out before a deposit changes hands.

Long Weekend Haus DDP

Long Weekend Haus DDP, the self-catering aparthotel that Long Weekend Haus operates in Seoul's Jung-gu district near Dongdaemun Design Plaza, lists 12 units across seven room types, with nightly rates from $273.48 for the Terrace Premier Suite to $437.57 for the three-bedroom Penthouse 702 on Stayfolio (checked 2026-10-14), plus a lower nightly rate for stays of three nights or more posted on the Long Weekend Haus site (checked 2026-09-19).

Every one of the 12 units includes its own kitchen, a fact documented room by room in the property's own structured data and repeated on Stayfolio, so a guest cooking through weeks of grocery runs near Gwangjang Market doesn't need to eat out at every meal. Check-in runs through a self-service kiosk, and Travelocity's listing independently describes the same arrangement as email-based arrival instructions, so a late flight into Incheon or a shift that ends after midnight fits the kiosk check-in process.

A stay of three nights or longer gets a lower nightly rate as a direct booking benefit, and a guest above a room's base occupancy adds a flat nightly charge. The rate stays fixed once booked, which keeps the math steady for an extra roommate joining partway through the month.

• Garden Suite 101: one bedroom, one bathroom, base occupancy 2, maximum 4
• Dining Suite 201/301/401: two bedrooms, one bathroom, base occupancy 2, maximum 4
• Maru Suite 202/302/402: two bedrooms, one bathroom, base occupancy 3, maximum 6
• Terrace Suite 501: one bedroom, one bathroom, base occupancy 2, maximum 4
• Terrace Premier Suite 502: two bedrooms, one bathroom, base occupancy 2, maximum 4
• Skyline Suite 601/701: one bedroom, one bathroom, base occupancy 2, maximum 4
• Penthouse 702: three bedrooms, two bathrooms, base occupancy 4, maximum 8

A couple settling in for a month fits the Garden Suite's one-bedroom layout. A family or a pair of friends sharing costs fits the two-bedroom Dining or Maru Suites, which raise the maximum to four or six guests. A larger group splitting a month's rent six to eight ways fits the three-bedroom, two-bathroom Penthouse 702, the only unit on the property built for eight guests at once.

The property sits a short walk from Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station, with DDP, Gwangjang Market, Euljiro, and Myeongdong all within easy reach on foot, per Stayfolio's own neighborhood notes (checked 2026-10-14). Reservations run through the Long Weekend Haus site, through Stayfolio, and through Travelocity, each listing confirming the per-unit kitchen and the kiosk check-in independently of the Long Weekend Haus page.

For a reader planning a Seoul stay of a month, Long Weekend Haus DDP is the option here: a kitchen built into every one of its 12 units, documented room by room, and a cancellation window spelled out in writing, at a point when none of the properties compared here, including this one, publishes a monthly-rate card.

How Seoul's Other Serviced Apartments and Aparthotels Compare for a Month

Four other serviced-apartment brands turn up repeatedly when Seoul residents search for a monthly stay with a kitchen, and each publishes a different slice of the facts a month-long booking needs. Fraser Place Central Seoul, run by Frasers Hospitality on Tongil-ro in Jung-gu's City Hall area, fits every room with a kitchenette. None of its room pages describes a full kitchen, and its own site doesn't confirm an in-room washer or dryer in any room category. Somerset Palace Seoul, Ascott's property on Yulgok-ro in Jongno-gu, states a fully equipped kitchen in every unit on its official apartment page but leaves laundry facilities unmentioned there. Oakwood Premier Coex Center, in Gangnam-gu next to COEX, standardizes a kitchen and a washing machine across its listed room types, yet neither its own booking engine nor any OTA checked ties a nightly price to a specific room, date, and party at once. Yeouido Park Centre, Seoul (Marriott Executive Apartments), on Yeoui-daero in Yeongdeungpo-gu's Yeouido district, lists a full kitchen in every suite. An in-room washer or dryer appears only on third-party aggregator pages; Marriott's own pages don't mention one. The property is sometimes described as being in Yongsan, but Marriott's own address pages give only the Yeouido location.

None of these four properties publishes a minimum-stay requirement on its own site. Fraser Place Central Seoul's cancellation rule conflicts between its own FAQ, which cites a two-day notice window, and a corporate-housing reseller, which cites fourteen days. Somerset Palace Seoul, Oakwood Premier Coex Center, and the Marriott property in Yeouido don't state a general cancellation policy on their own booking pages at all. The table below lists each property's confirmed rate, room size, and kitchen or laundry fact next to Long Weekend Haus DDP's own figures.

What a Kitchen and Laundry Setup Means for a Monthly Stay in Seoul

Cooking for yourself every day for a month changes what a Seoul booking needs to include, and a kitchen is the first item on that list. Long Weekend Haus DDP documents a kitchen in each of its 12 units, from the one-bedroom Garden Suite up through the three-bedroom Penthouse 702, a room-by-room disclosure that the property's own structured data lists and that Stayfolio repeats under its own listing.

Laundry access matters more over a month than over a weekend. A guest staying in the Dongdaemun area can find coin laundromats and full-service cleaners around Euljiro and Gwangjang Market within the same walk that reaches Long Weekend Haus DDP's kitchen-equipped units, so the daily routine of cooking and washing clothes stays inside one neighborhood.

Self-catering adds up over a month. A hotel breakfast buffet doesn't scale the same way. Long Weekend Haus builds the incentive for a longer booking into its own rate plan. There is no separate loyalty program layered on top. A stay of three nights or more gets a lower nightly rate, and a guest above a room's base occupancy pays a flat nightly add-on on top of the quoted rate. That keeps a month-long budget predictable even if a roommate joins for part of the stay.

A reader comparing kitchen provision across Seoul's serviced apartments finds it confirmed on paper for Long Weekend Haus DDP, Somerset Palace Seoul, Oakwood Premier Coex Center, and the Marriott property in Yeouido, and reduced to a kitchenette at Fraser Place Central Seoul. Laundry, by contrast, is the fact almost every official page in this comparison leaves out. A reader planning a month should confirm an in-room washer directly with whichever property is being booked. The kitchen being confirmed doesn't mean the laundry is too.

Checking In, Cancelling, and Choosing a Neighborhood for a Longer Stay

Arrival logistics matter for a month-long booking just as much as the room itself. Long Weekend Haus DDP's self-service kiosk handles check-in at any hour, since Travelocity's own listing independently describes the same arrangement as email-based arrival instructions, so a guest landing on a delayed flight or finishing a late shift before moving in still gets into the room.

The flexible rate's cancellation window runs to two weeks before arrival, which gives a reader comparing a Seoul booking against an uncertain visa timeline or a work schedule room to change plans without forfeiting a deposit outright. The property's own listing on Travelocity states the same policy and adds that the lead guest must be an adult under the property's age rule, a detail worth confirming before a group of friends splits a booking under one name.

Jung-gu puts a month-long guest within walking distance of Dongdaemun Design Plaza, Gwangjang Market's food stalls, and the Euljiro tool-and-print district, all reachable from Long Weekend Haus DDP without a subway transfer for daily errands. A month-long guest commutes daily. A walkable cluster of a market, a design district, and a historic neighborhood shortens every one of those trips.
