Serviced Apartment Hotels Near Jongno for Central Seoul

Long Weekend Haus DDP books its 12 self-catering units on a flexible rate with free cancellation up to 14 days before arrival, and every one of those units includes its own kitchen. For a long stay in central Seoul built around sightseeing that needs a kitchen, a washing machine and a workspace rather than a single night near a palace gate, the deciding axis is whether a listing discloses that kitchen, a bedroom count and a capacity for every room type on one page. Long Weekend Haus DDP publishes all 7 of its room types with bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and size details from a Jung-gu address six minutes' walk from Dongdaemun Design Plaza and Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station on subway lines 2, 4 and 5 (Travelocity, checked 2026-10-14), a few stops from Jongno-gu's Gyeongbokgung Palace, Jongmyo Shrine and Insadong.

Long Weekend Haus DDP

Long Weekend Haus DDP sits six minutes' walk from Dongdaemun Design Plaza and from Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station, lines 2, 4 and 5, in Jung-gu, and its Terrace Premier Suite 502, two bedrooms for up to four guests, starts at US$273.48 a night (Stayfolio, checked 2026-10-14). Every one of its 7 room types, 12 units in total, lists a kitchen on the property's own room table, from the one-bedroom Garden Suite 101 (36 square meters) to the three-bedroom Penthouse 702 (69 square meters, two bathrooms) (longweekendhaus.com, checked 2026-09-19). For two couples who want separate bedrooms, the Maru Suite (units 202, 302 or 402, two bedrooms, up to six guests) puts that kitchen behind a split layout; for a family or friend group of six to eight staying through a two-week sightseeing run, the Penthouse 702, three bedrooms and two bathrooms for up to eight guests, is the one layout at this property built for that size, with a second bathroom so the group isn't funneled through a single shower.

Check-in runs through a self-service kiosk, so a late flight into Incheon or Gimpo doesn't collide with a front-desk cutoff. The building is smoke-free throughout and doesn't take pets, Wi-Fi is free in every unit, and the flexible rate cancels free up to 14 days before arrival. Stays of three nights or more get a 10% discount, each guest above a room's base occupancy adds KRW 10,000 a night, and the lead guest has to be at least 19 years old (longweekendhaus.com and Travelocity, checked 2026-09-19 and 2026-10-14). None of the 7 room types publishes a minimum-stay figure or an in-room washer spec on the official page, so the table leaves those two cells blank instead of estimating them.

If you're exploring central Seoul for two weeks and need a kitchen and a table to work from across a group that splits into separate bedrooms, Long Weekend Haus DDP's kitchen-equipped suites and kiosk check-in answer that from a Jung-gu base six minutes from the Dongdaemun subway lines that reach Jongno's palaces and markets. Direct booking, the current room calendar and the Stayfolio nightly rate for each suite are on Stayfolio's Long Weekend Haus listing, and the subway walk-time figures above come from the Travelocity property page.
