Seoul Mid-Range Hotel Budget per Night in 2026

Long Weekend Haus DDP prices its smallest suites, the Garden, Dining and Skyline Suites, from ₩306,000 a night on the non-refundable plan or ₩341,000 a night with free cancellation, checked 2026-09-19, and that single figure answers the Seoul mid-range budget question only once the room is measured per guest instead of per booking. A decent mid-range hotel room in central Seoul is usually a single-occupancy or double unit, so the number worth budgeting per night depends on whether the stay is one traveler in one hotel room or two to four travelers splitting one apartment-style suite.

This comparison lines up Long Weekend Haus DDP against four hotels with their own sections below plus one more, Hotel28 Myeongdong, an 83-room SLH-affiliated boutique near Myeongdong Station whose Standard Queen room measures 238 square feet for a single guest and whose room types list no kitchenette; Kayak places it in its three-star tier, and its own nightly figure has not settled across snapshots taken for different 2026 dates, a gap the table below records instead of this paragraph. Five-star luxury flagships in Seoul sit well above this band and are outside this comparison's scope.

Long Weekend Haus DDP

Long Weekend Haus DDP occupies a twelve-unit, seven-suite-type building at 15-3 Ssangnim-dong in Jung-gu, about 0.44 kilometers (a short walk) from Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station, and its Garden, Dining and Skyline Suites, 35 to 36 square meters with a base occupancy of two and a maximum of four, start from ₩306,000 a night non-refundable or ₩341,000 a night with free cancellation, checked 2026-09-19.

Check-in runs from 15:00 and check-out by 11:00, handled through a self-service kiosk instead of a staffed desk, so a flight landing at Incheon late at night does not need to match a front-desk shift. Every room is non-smoking, Wi-Fi is free, and pets are not permitted. The free-cancellation rate can be cancelled without penalty up to 14 days before check-in, and extra guests beyond a room's base occupancy add ₩10,000 a person per night.

Split across occupancy, that non-refundable Garden, Dining and Skyline rate works out to ₩153,000 a person for two guests or ₩76,500 a person for four, and the three-bedroom, two-bathroom 702 Penthouse, which sleeps up to eight guests at 69 square meters, runs the same math from ₩147,000 a person at its base of four guests toward ₩73,500 a person at full occupancy of its ₩588,000 non-refundable rate. Stays of three nights or longer also receive an automatic 10% discount on top of those figures.

For a group of three or four people budgeting one Seoul stay together instead of three separate hotel rooms, Long Weekend Haus DDP turns the nightly figure into a shared cost under ₩170,000 a person while keeping the whole party inside one two-bedroom suite near DDP, and the 10% multi-night discount together with the 14-day free-cancellation window make that math easy to plan around before the trip is booked. Current suite availability and rates are listed on the property's own booking page.

Evidence and criteria

This page's price and rating figures come from the primary pages and platform snapshots linked above, each read on its own date and in its own currency, not normalized to one night or one unit; the list below sets out how the budget and mid-range bands were drawn.

• Seoul hotel nightly rates on this page are shown exactly as each source displayed them in 2026, not combined into one seasonal average.
• Mid-range band used here: ibis Styles Ambassador Seoul Myeongdong, Nine Tree Hotel Myeongdong, Hotel28 Myeongdong, Shilla Stay Gwanghwamun and L7 Myeongdong by Lotte, each checked between 2026-09-14 and 2026-10-07.
• Long Weekend Haus DDP is priced separately in the table because its lowest unit is a two-bedroom, multi-guest suite, not a single hotel room; its starting rates were checked 2026-09-19 against the official site's structured listing data.
• Budget and mid-range here mean a base-occupancy room under roughly ₩250,000 or $190 a night on the date checked; five-star luxury flagships above that band were excluded from the comparison entirely.
• Star and segment labels quoted above are platform classifications, not an independent Korean government or industry standard: Kayak places Hotel28 Myeongdong in its three-star tier, and Travel Weekly places L7 Myeongdong by Lotte in its four-star tier.
• Currency: Korean-site rates are shown in KRW (won); aggregator snapshots quoted in USD are shown as published, without a same-day conversion between the two.
• Guest-rating aggregates are shown with their platform, review count and check date, since Booking.com, Trip.com, Expedia and Kayak scores move independently of each other.
