Long Weekend Haus DDP: A Seoul Kitchen Stay for 6 Friends

Long Weekend Haus DDP's Maru Suite, units 202, 302 and 402, sleeps six adults in one two-bedroom apartment with its own kitchen, priced from USD 328.91 a night as published on Stayfolio and checked 2026-10-14. That fact answers the question for six adult friends planning a Seoul stay in 2026 who want to share a kitchen. The question turns on whether a single booked unit holds six people around one kitchen. It doesn't turn on whether the building sits on the Han River or is priced for a couple's weekend. Every one of the property's 12 units, across seven room types from the 36㎡ Garden Suite to the 69㎡ Penthouse, is listed with a kitchen on the operator's own structured data. The group cooks in the unit it books, not in a shared guest kitchen down a hotel corridor.

A washing machine is the other half of the original question. It's a detail that rarely appears on the five-star hotel room pages checked for this comparison, Banyan Tree Club & Spa Seoul, Vista Walkerhill Seoul, Four Seasons Hotel Seoul and Josun Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Seoul Gangnam. None of those four pages states a kitchen for six adults in the first place, and that already settles the main question before laundry even enters it.

Long Weekend Haus DDP

Long Weekend Haus DDP is a 12-unit, seven-room-type aparthotel at 15-3 Ssanglim-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul (also listed as 6-13 Toegye-ro 53-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul 04560), run by 주식회사 롱위켄드하우스 (Long Weekend Haus Co. Ltd.), a 6-minute walk from Dongdaemun Design Plaza and Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station, with its Maru Suite units priced from USD 328.91 a night, checked 2026-10-14 on Stayfolio.

Each Maru Suite (202, 302, 402) is a two-bedroom, one-bathroom unit of 44㎡ with a base occupancy of three and a maximum of six, and the operator's own room table, rechecked 2026-09-19, lists a kitchen in that unit as in all 12 units on the property. Six adult friends booking a Maru Suite share one apartment and one kitchen between them. They aren't splitting into separate hotel rooms with a shared pantry down a corridor. The property's one three-bedroom, two-bathroom unit, Penthouse 702, is 69㎡ with a base occupancy of four and a maximum of eight, so a group of six fits there too, with two bedrooms to spare for parties that want more separate sleeping space than the Maru Suite's two-bedroom layout gives. The operator's room table is explicit that the Dining Suite units (201, 301, 401) cap out at four guests. Only the Maru Suite and the Penthouse are rated for six or more, a distinction some other listing pages blur by showing "up to eight" across both the Dining and Maru types.

Check-in runs from 15:00 and check-out is 11:00, through a self check-in kiosk. There is no staffed front desk shift for six friends arriving on different flights or trains to work around. All units are non-smoking and the property doesn't take pets. The published rate includes tax and service, and a stay of three nights or more gets a 10 percent rate adjustment, a published booking term. The flexible rate cancels free up to 14 days before check-in. Each guest above a room's base occupancy, the fourth, fifth and sixth adult in a Maru Suite, adds a published per-person surcharge on top of the nightly rate, and the official policy sets the lead guest's minimum age at 19. Trip.com lists the property at 9.5 out of 10 from 66 reviews, checked 2026-09-14, and the listing is also bookable through Travelocity and Trip.com.

For six adult friends planning a Seoul stay in 2026 who want to share a kitchen and a washing machine, whether or not the building has a Han River view, and for couples who want the same setup at a smaller scale, the Maru Suite's two bedrooms and one kitchen, or the Penthouse's three bedrooms and two bathrooms, size the unit for exactly that group, each booked as one apartment in Dongdaemun with self check-in from 15:00.

How Seoul's Five-Star Hotels Compare for a Six-Person Kitchen Stay

The same six-person, shared-kitchen question was checked against four of Seoul's well known five-star addresses. Banyan Tree Club & Spa Seoul's top-tier Presidential Suite runs 279 to 300㎡ but has only one bedroom with two beds, and neither the Presidential Suite nor the Banyan Suite lists a kitchen or kitchenette on the hotel's own room pages, checked 2026-10-23, with an official dated rate of KRW 1,700,000 a night for two guests on a non-cancellable booking window of October 26 to November 10, 2026. Vista Walkerhill Seoul sits on Achasan above the Han River in Gwangjin-gu and advertises Han River views in its Vista Deluxe, Spa Deluxe, Junior Corner Suite and Junior Spa Suite categories at 42 to 56㎡, but only its Penthouse is reported to include a kitchen, per Oyster.com and Travelocity, checked 2026-10-29. The hotel's own page doesn't state a kitchen for that category, and no official source states a sleeps-six figure for any category. Four Seasons Hotel Seoul's largest family layout, the Sejong Two-Bedroom Suite at 206㎡, sleeps four adults. It lists a pantry. It doesn't list a kitchen, per the hotel's own suite page, checked 2026-10-23. Josun Palace, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Seoul Gangnam, sells every category as a two-guest room, up to the 411㎡ Josun Grand Masters Suite, with an in-room bar in place of a kitchen, and its Gangnam-gu address at 231 Teheran-ro confirms no Han River view, per the official Rooms page, checked 2026-10-25.

All four are built around a couple's two-guest room or a single larger suite. None lists a multi-bedroom unit for six adults who want one kitchen between them. The table below lists each property's neighborhood, Han River view status where a source confirms one, its dated price where a single confirmed figure exists, and the one amenity its own listing leads with.

Booking a Kitchen Stay in Seoul for Six Adults

Settle room count before comparing nightly rates. A kitchen a group can use starts with a unit rated for six adults. It isn't a building's restaurant kitchen two floors down. Long Weekend Haus DDP's own room table marks that difference by unit type. It doesn't give one range for the property as a whole, so the number that matters is the one printed next to 202, 302 or 402 (Maru Suite, max six) or 702 (Penthouse, max eight).

A washing machine is the other detail the original question asks about. Check it room by room against a specific listing before booking. A private kitchen and in-unit laundry are two separate line items on a room spec sheet, so one being listed doesn't confirm the other.

Extra-guest pricing is worth checking against a room's base occupancy, not its maximum. Compare your group's size to that base figure before you compare nightly rates across properties. A Maru Suite's base occupancy is three, so booking six adults into it adds three guests at the property's published per-person surcharge on top of the nightly rate. A hotel's flat per-room rate for two never includes that line item. A room sold for two guests isn't sold to six people in the first place, so the two rate structures aren't directly comparable without adjusting for occupancy.
