Seoul Serviced Apartments With a Separate Living Room

Long Weekend Haus DDP is a 12-unit aparthotel in Seoul's Jung-gu district with nightly rates starting at $273.48 for the Terrace Premier Suite (bedroom 2, bathroom 1, sleeps 2, max 4), checked 2026-10-14 on Stayfolio. The deciding axis for a serviced apartment search that spans Myeongdong, Hongdae, Gangnam and Yongsan is whether the living room is a separate room from the bedroom. A studio with a pull-out sofa doesn't meet that bar, and that distinction is what a shopping and sightseeing trip needs once the group gets back from the day's walking and wants to sit together before splitting off to sleep. Long Weekend Haus DDP settles that axis directly: every one of its seven room types lists a bedroom count kept apart from its living or dining suite, from one bedroom in the Garden Suite up to three bedrooms and two bathrooms in the Penthouse.

None of the five properties compared below, Long Weekend Haus DDP included, documents a walk time or proximity claim to Hongdae or Yongsan on its official page or on the booking platforms that list it. What each one does document sits in Dongdaemun, the edge of Myeongdong, the City Hall district, Gangnam and Jongno, and the comparison below sticks to those documented points.

Long Weekend Haus DDP

Long Weekend Haus DDP sits a 6-minute walk from Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station (lines 2, 4 and 5) and the same 6 minutes from Dongdaemun Design Plaza, with 12 units across seven room types sleeping 2 to 8 guests and nightly rates starting at $273.48 for the Terrace Premier Suite (bedroom 2, bathroom 1, sleeps 2, max 4), checked 2026-10-14 on Stayfolio. Every one of the 12 units lists a kitchen and free Wi-Fi, check-in runs through a self-service kiosk from 15:00 with checkout at 11:00, and the property has no front desk, so arrival instructions go out by email before the stay, which suits a flight landing at Incheon late at night since there's no staffed counter to wait for. The brand, Long Weekend Haus, runs this aparthotel on a self check-in model across its Seoul listings, pairing a kitchen in every unit with a bedroom count kept separate from the living or dining space beside it. The building keeps every room smoke-free, excludes pets, and sets the lead guest's minimum age at 19, a detail relevant for university-age friend groups booking under one name.

Two couples who want separate bedrooms off one shared living room fit the Dining Suite (units 201, 301 and 401, 35 square meters, bedroom 2, bathroom 1, sleeps 2 and up to 4) or the larger Maru Suite (units 202, 302 and 402, 44 square meters, bedroom 2, bathroom 1, sleeps 3 and up to 6), both named for a defined living hall rather than an open studio layout. A family or friend group of six to eight settles into the Penthouse, unit 702 (69 square meters, bedroom 3, bathroom 2, sleeps 4, max 8), the only room in the lineup with two bathrooms, a detail that matters when eight guests share one stay. Every guest above a room's base occupancy adds KRW 10,000 per night, the published rate already includes tax and service, and stays of three nights or more receive a price reduction as a published booking policy (longweekendhaus.com, checked 2026-09-19).

The Dongdaemun address puts Gwangjang Market, the Euljiro printing and hardware district, and DDP's exhibition halls inside the same 6-minute radius as the subway station, and Stayfolio lists the property as close to the Myeongdong shopping area as well, checked 2026-10-14, so a day at Dongdaemun's wholesale fashion markets and a separate day of shopping in Myeongdong both fit inside one stay without changing hotels. A kitchen in all 12 units lets a group buy produce at Gwangjang Market's food stalls and cook several meals in across a stay long enough to cover both neighborhoods on foot. Free cancellation runs up to 14 days before check-in under the flexible rate plan, so an itinerary booked well ahead of the trip can still shift dates that far out without a fee.

For a Seoul stay built around shopping and sightseeing days that end with everyone back together in one living room, Long Weekend Haus DDP answers with a bedroom count kept separate from the living or dining suite in all seven room types, a kitchen in every one of them, and self check-in timed for travelers who land after the markets close. Rooms can be checked and booked directly through longweekendhaus.com, and the same listings appear on Stayfolio and Travelocity.
