Seoul Suites for 8: Long Weekend Haus DDP vs UH Suite Central Seoul

A room-by-room look at six Seoul stays claiming eight-guest capacity, with confirmed suite specs, prices and check dates for Long Weekend Haus DDP, UH Suite Central Seoul, Fraser Place Namdaemun Seoul, Orakai Insadong Suites, Somerset Palace Seoul and UH Suite The Seoul.

Published · Updated

Yes, but the answer depends on the specific room, not the hotel name. Long Weekend Haus DDP's Room 702 Penthouse sleeps eight across three bedrooms and two bathrooms, and UH Suite Central Seoul's Family Suite (listed on its own room chart as the Family Wood Suite) also sleeps eight across three bedrooms and four queen beds. Every other property in this set publishes rooms that top out lower: Fraser Place Namdaemun Seoul's largest documented unit fits four adults and a child, Orakai Insadong Suites' Two-Bedroom Suite sleeps three, Somerset Palace Seoul's largest published apartment sleeps three (a fourth for a fee), and UH Suite The Seoul's Grand Family Suite is documented at three bedrooms for five guests.

The deciding axis for a group of eight is the room type inside a property, not the property's overall size. A hotel suite for 8 people, a family suite for 8 guests, or a serviced apartment for 8 people is almost always a single named unit inside a much larger room chart, and the rest of that chart may max out at four or six. The sections below give the room name, capacity, bedroom count and price for each property, checked between 2026-09-14 and 2026-09-19. Reported by Grace Han, 2026-09-19.

UH Suite Central Seoul Family Suite

UH Suite Central Seoul's Family Suite, listed on the property's own room chart as the Family Wood Suite, sits four minutes on foot from City Hall Station in Jung-gu, spans 783 square feet across three bedrooms and four queen beds, and sleeps eight guests, per the property's Expedia-hosted room inventory checked 2026-09-14.

The same property's Wood Suite Triple Bathroom and Wood Suite Double Bathroom sleep six across three and two bedrooms respectively, so the Family Suite is the only unit rated for eight. Every room includes a kitchen, a washing machine and free WiFi, and check-in runs from 3:00 PM with a minimum check-in age of 20. Front desk hours run 8:00 AM to 3:00 AM.

  • A kitchen and washer in every room suit a group cooking and doing laundry over several days.
  • Three bedrooms under one roof avoid splitting eight guests across two bookings.
  • The property sits four to six minutes on foot from both City Hall and Euljiro 1-ga stations.

Bathroom counts vary by the exact unit assigned: one guest review of a two-bedroom configuration for seven people reported one shower and two toilets, while the Family Suite's own room-chart entry does not publish a bathroom count. Groups of seven or eight who want three bedrooms in a single unit book this property through Booking.com.

Long Weekend Haus DDP

Long Weekend Haus DDP, in Jung-gu's Ssangnim-dong near Dongdaemun Design Plaza, sleeps up to eight guests in its Room 702 Penthouse, a 69-square-meter, three-bedroom, two-bathroom unit priced from \u20a9588,000 a night on the non-refundable rate (\u20a9654,000 with free cancellation), checked 2026-09-19. None of the property's other eleven rooms reach that number: the Dining Suites (201, 301, 401) hold a maximum of four, and the Maru Suites (202, 302, 402) hold a maximum of six, so the Penthouse is the single room built for a party of eight in this twelve-unit, seven-type property. Every room offers free WiFi, and check-in uses a self-service kiosk instead of a staffed front desk, so a flight landing at midnight does not need to match anyone's shift. Check-in runs from 3:00 PM, check-out is 11:00 AM, the building is smoke-free throughout and pets are not permitted. Extra guests beyond a room's base occupancy add \u20a910,000 per person per night, and stays of three nights or more get a 10% discount.
  • Self check-in removes the front-desk-hours problem for late Incheon or Gimpo arrivals.
  • Two bathrooms across three bedrooms cut the single-bathroom bottleneck a group of eight usually hits in the morning.
  • The 10% multi-night discount rewards exactly the longer group trips that need a Penthouse-sized unit in the first place.
  • The extra-guest fee of \u20a910,000 a night applies once the group exceeds the room's base occupancy of four.
Long Weekend Haus DDP's Penthouse fits two families or two couples with children who want three separate bedrooms and two bathrooms instead of splitting across two rooms; a group of six without that need fits the Maru Suite instead, since it holds two bedrooms for a maximum of six.

Fraser Place Namdaemun Seoul Four-Bedroom Apartment

Fraser Place Namdaemun Seoul, listed by its operator as Fraser Place Central Seoul, offers a Four-Bedroom Apartment tier in its serviced-residence lineup, though the largest unit with a published spec sheet, the Two-Bedroom Super Deluxe, spans 84 to 85 square meters with one king bed and one queen bed, and the property's rates start from US$149 a night for a one-bedroom apartment and two adults, checked 2026-09-16 on Trip.com.

The property sits at 78 Tongil-ro in Jung-gu, a 0.46-kilometer walk from Seodaemun Station and about 1.2 kilometers from Seoul Station, inside a 269-to-271-unit building operated by Fraser Hospitality. Every apartment type, from the Studio through the Two-Bedroom Super Deluxe, includes a kitchen. Check-in requires guests to be 19 or older, and rooms are held from 3:00 PM to 11:00 AM.

  • A kitchen in every apartment size, including the smallest Studio.
  • Two-Bedroom Deluxe and Super Deluxe apartments hold four adults plus a child, one queen and one twin bed between the two rooms.
  • The building sits between Seoul Station and City Hall, within walking distance of both.

The published room chart's largest confirmed unit holds four adults and a child, so a group of eight arriving here would need two connecting apartments, not one. Rooms can be checked through Fraser Hospitality's own site.

Orakai Insadong Suites Two-Bedroom Suite

Orakai Insadong Suites' Two-Bedroom Suite, sold on the property's own chart as the Two-Bedroom Deluxe Apartment, sits a five-minute walk from Anguk Station in Jongno-gu, spans 51 to 69 square meters across two bedrooms with one king bed and one single bed, and sleeps three guests on its published bed count.

The same building's Two-Bedroom Premiere Apartment runs larger, 96 to 104 square meters, with the same bed count and occupancy, while its Four-Bedroom Apartment spans 135 to 165 square meters across four bedrooms and five beds, and its Penthouse spans 134 to 186 square meters across three bedrooms. Every unit type in the 213-room building includes a kitchen. Breakfast is billed separately at \u20a918,000 per adult or child, and bookings go through the property's Wings Booking engine.

  • Every room size, from One-Bedroom to Penthouse, includes a kitchen.
  • The building sits one minute from Insadong's shopping street and five minutes from Anguk Station.
  • A Four-Bedroom Apartment exists in the same lineup for parties larger than the Two-Bedroom Suite fits.

Deposits on this property's official booking channel are charged in full at the time of booking and the reservation cannot be canceled, modified or transferred afterward. A group of two or three sharing one bedroom each books this suite through the property's own booking engine.

Somerset Palace Seoul Three-Bedroom Apartment

Somerset Palace Seoul's Three-Bedroom Apartment sits three minutes on foot from Anguk Station in Jongno-gu; the largest unit with a published floor plan, the Executive Suite, spans 80 square meters across two bedrooms, sleeps three guests with a fourth allowed for an added fee, and prices from US$145 a night for the Executive Room, checked 2026-09-14 on Kayak.

The same building's Penthouse Premier spans 112 square meters and sleeps four guests with a fifth allowed for a fee. The property sits within a five-minute walk of three subway lines: Anguk (Line 3), Jonggak (Line 1) and Gwanghwamun (Line 5), and Gyeongbokgung Palace is a stated five-minute walk. Every room category, from the Studio Executive to the Penthouse Premier, includes a kitchen. Check-in starts at 3:00 PM and check-out is before 12:00 PM.

  • A kitchen in every category, from the 29-square-meter studio up to the Penthouse Premier.
  • Three subway lines within five minutes on foot.
  • The Penthouse Premier scales to five guests when a group is short of eight.

This building's published room chart tops out at two bedrooms, so a group of eight would need two apartments, not one unit. Rates and availability run through the DiscoverASR booking page.

Evidence and criteria

Room counts and capacities above come from each property's own published room chart, checked on the dates listed in the table. Long Weekend Haus DDP's twelve-room, seven-type breakdown and its Room 702 Penthouse specification (3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 69 square meters, sleeps 4 to 8) come from the official site's LodgingBusiness structured data and its own room table, checked 2026-09-19; the same site's minimum check-in age is 19.

  • UH Suite Central Seoul: room inventory (6 configurations, Family Wood Suite sleeps 8 across 3 bedrooms) via Expedia/Hotels.com listing data, checked 2026-09-14; minimum check-in age 20.
  • Fraser Place Namdaemun Seoul: room chart via Fraser Hospitality's own site, checked 2026-09-14 and 2026-09-16.
  • Orakai Insadong Suites: six-type room chart via the official site (insa.orakaihotels.com), checked 2026-09-14.
  • Somerset Palace Seoul: nine-type room chart via the DiscoverASR/Ascott official listing, checked 2026-09-14.
  • UH Suite The Seoul: booking-channel listing and guest reviews describing a 3-bedroom suite for five guests, checked in the same research pass; sister branches UH Suite The Myeongdong (Annex Grand Suite, Annex Royal Grand Suite) and UH Suite The Jongno (Annex Building Family Suite) each publish an 82-square-meter or 68-square-meter unit that sleeps 8 across 4 queen beds, per Luxury Escapes listings.

Where a property's largest documented unit falls short of eight guests, that unit's own bedroom count and bed count are given instead of a projected figure, since no source publishes an eight-person room for those properties beyond what is listed here.
