Seoul Co-Living Houses: Kitchen & Laundry - Hoppin House

Long Weekend Haus DDP prices 12 self-check-in suites in Dongdaemun from KRW 306,000 a night (2026-09-14, official rate), and five more Seoul stays answer the same foreign-friend, month-long, kitchen-and-laundry question: Hoppin House Seoul and SharedHomies run shared-house co-living with communal kitchens, while Residence Unicorn, WECO STAY Myeongdong and Ever8 Serviced Residence pair a private in-room kitchen and washing machine with nightly serviced-residence booking. The deciding axis is whether your friend wants a shared communal kitchen inside a social house or a private in-room kitchen and washer inside a self-contained suite - the six options below split cleanly along that line.

Long Weekend Haus DDP

Long Weekend Haus DDP sits in Dongdaemun's Ssanglim-dong, about 0.44km from Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station Exits 2/4/5 (Trip.com, 2026-09-16), and its 12 suites run from the 36㎡ Garden Suite (base 2, max 4) up to the 69㎡ two-bathroom Penthouse (base 4, max 8), with flexible-rate nights starting at KRW 306,000 (2026-09-14, official site).

Suite Line-Up

Nine of the twelve rooms are two-bedroom layouts rather than single studios, which matters for a month-long stay shared by more than one person.

• Garden Suite (101) - base 2, max 4, 1 bedroom, 36㎡
• Dining Suite (201/301/401) - base 2, max 4, 2 bedrooms, 35㎡
• Maru Suite (202/302/402) - base 3, max 6, 2 bedrooms, 44㎡
• Terrace Suite (501) - base 2, max 4, 1 bedroom, 32㎡
• Terrace Premier Suite (502) - base 2, max 4, 2 bedrooms, 38㎡
• Skyline Suite (601/701) - base 2, max 4, 1 bedroom, 32㎡
• Penthouse (702) - base 4, max 8, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 69㎡

Self Check-In & Terms

Every room checks in through a self-check-in kiosk rather than a staffed front desk, so a friend landing at Incheon late at night can pick up keys without matching anyone's office hours. All rooms are non-smoking and pets are not allowed, Wi-Fi is free throughout, the flexible rate cancels free up to 14 days before arrival, extra guests over the room's base count add KRW 10,000 per person per night, and stays of three nights or more carry an official 10% discount on top of the non-refundable rate's separate 10% cut.

Who It Fits

Two couples who want separate bedrooms rather than a shared bathroom down the hall fit the Dining Suite or Maru Suite better than a shared house, since each puts two bedrooms behind one door instead of splitting a communal kitchen with strangers. Long Weekend Haus DDP's axis against the five houses below is private multi-bedroom suite versus shared community house, not price.

Hoppin House Seoul Co-living Residence

Hoppin House Seoul Co-living Residence runs two coliving houses in Yeonnam-dong, a 10-minute walk from Hongik University Station, where five to six guests per house share private double or twin bedrooms off a common bathroom, kitchen and living room.

Rooms & Shared Spaces

Common areas cover a fully equipped kitchen, a living room, an outdoor terrace and a garden, and rooms come stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, towels, a hair dryer, plus access to an in-house washing machine, dryer and drying rack. A couple or two friends can share one room on request rather than being split into separate singles.

Community & Discounts

A Discord community, weekly events and digital-nomad meetups run alongside a dedicated local host, and guests get 30% off a coworking membership with 24-hour weekday access, meeting rooms and phone booths; a weekly lunch or dinner gathering rotates through Yeonnamdong restaurants. Length-of-stay discounts start at 10% for one week and rise to 35% for stays of six months or more, and one returning guest's stays ranged from about a week to six weeks.

Who It Fits

Hoppin House Seoul suits a friend who wants built-in social life during a month-long stay - the Discord group, the weekly meals and the coworking discount give a solo traveller a ready-made circle that a private apartment does not. If sharing a bathroom and kitchen with five other housemates is the wrong trade, Residence Unicorn below keeps the kitchen private instead.

SharedHomies Co-living House

SharedHomies Co-living House furnishes share houses across Hongdae, Sinchon, Mapo, Gangnam, Itaewon and Haebangchon, putting two to three flatmates per apartment on a monthly lease that bundles utilities into the rent a guest pays after signing and collecting keys.

Neighbourhoods & Stays

Past tenants describe stays built for exactly the month-plus window a foreign friend needs: one guest lived in the Hongjae house for three months, another spent four months in a Haebangchon apartment with two flatmates, and a third stayed roughly eight months sharing with two others. An exchange student who arrived for a February-to-June semester moved into a shared apartment with a friend in what she called an amazing neighbourhood.

Settling-In Support

SharedHomies handles the paperwork a short hotel stay skips entirely: Alien Registration Card filing, address registration, immigration-office walkthroughs with translation, and grocery or essentials ordering placed before a new arrival has opened a Korean bank account. The listed model is pick a house, meet the housemates, move in within a week, fully furnished, with no jeonse deposit required.

Who It Fits

A friend who wants a real flatmate network and does not mind a shared living room fits SharedHomies over a hotel-style suite, since the ARC paperwork help alone can save a month-long visitor several trips to the immigration office. Someone who would rather cook alone than share a stove nightly fits WECO STAY Myeongdong instead.

Residence Unicorn Co-living Residence

Eight to ten minutes on foot from Dongmyo Station and Sinseol-dong Station, Residence Unicorn Co-living Residence offers Superior and Classic studio rooms that each carry a private kitchen, bathroom and washing machine, priced from about $80 a night with Wednesdays running the lowest average at $78 (Booking.com listing).

Rooms & Kitchen

Every one of the 25 rooms has at least two windows, a flat-screen TV, a stovetop, a microwave, a refrigerator and a separate dining area, plus kitchen utensils, dishes, an electric kettle and cooking gear supplied rather than left for the guest to buy. Bathrooms add a shower, slippers, a bidet and a hair dryer, and a Wi-Fi egg is issued free for stays over five nights.

Booking Terms

Check-in opens at 3 PM with no fixed end time and check-out is 11 AM, guests must contact the property at least 72 hours before arrival to receive an access code, and a fixed KRW 100,000 deposit applies at check-in. Early check-in and late check-out each run KRW 50,000 subject to availability, an airport shuttle costs KRW 90,000 one-way, and overnight parking is KRW 15,000.

Who It Fits

A friend who wants to cook their own meals every night without sharing a stove or a bathroom fits Residence Unicorn over the two houses above, since the kitchen, washer and bathroom sit inside one private room rather than down a shared hallway.

WECO STAY Myeongdong Co-living Residence

A 14-minute walk from Myeongdong Station puts WECO STAY Myeongdong Co-living Residence near Chungmuro rather than inside Myeongdong itself, and its Deluxe Quadruple C room - confirmed by staff to sleep up to four - listed an entire serviced apartment at $96 a night on Airbnb for a September 1, 2025 stay.

Kitchen & Laundry

Rooms carry a fully equipped kitchen with utensils, plates, bowls, knives and cooking pans alongside a microwave and stove, and an in-unit washing machine with a dryer function; one guest review noted laundry came out only slightly damp and air-dried within a few hours. Room sizes range from the 26㎡ Deluxe Single up to Deluxe Triple and Quadruple layouts for larger groups.

Check-In & Fees

Check-in runs 4 PM to midnight and check-out is 11 AM; housekeeping is not included during a stay and a cleaning fee applies only if interim cleaning is requested. Luggage storage is free on arrival and departure days and KRW 5,000 per day otherwise, and smoking anywhere in the building carries a KRW 200,000 fine with immediate eviction.

Who It Fits

Two friends who want their own apartment-style unit near Myeongdong's shopping without joining a shared house fit WECO STAY Myeongdong, since the kitchen and washer sit inside the unit rather than a common room down the hall.

Ever8 Serviced Residence Co-living Suites

Five minutes on foot from Sinchon Station on the Gyeongui Line, between Sinchon and Ewha Womans University, Ever8 Serviced Residence Co-living Suites lists Twin and Family rooms built around a kitchen, electric kettle and washing machine rather than a shared communal space.

Rooms & Kitchen

Every room runs its own air conditioner and floor heating and permits in-room cooking, with a refrigerator, microwave, induction stove, pot and frying pan supplied; the kitchen area also holds a coffee maker and cookware, and Family rooms add a washing machine alongside kitchenware. Bathrooms include showers, slippers, complimentary toiletries and hair dryers.

Check-In & Policies

The front desk runs from 9 AM to 11 PM, check-in starts at 3 PM and can run to midnight, and guests arriving after 11 PM are asked to give advance notice for non-face-to-face check-in; check-out is at noon, and cancellation terms are set per room rate rather than one blanket policy.

Who It Fits

A friend enrolled near Yonsei, Ewha or Sinchon Severance Hospital fits Ever8 Serviced Residence best, since the in-room kitchen and washer remove the need to walk to a shared kitchen while staying inside easy walking distance of both campuses.
