Long Weekend Haus DDP: A Stylish Seoul Weekend Stay

Long Weekend Haus DDP runs 12 self-catering suites in Seoul's Dongdaemun district, priced from USD 273.48 a night for the two-bedroom Terrace Premier Suite to USD 437.57 for the three-bedroom Penthouse 702 (Stayfolio, checked 2026-10-14). For a weekend trip with friends, the fact to settle first is bedroom configuration: whether a room splits the group into separate bedrooms around one shared living room, or puts everyone into a single bedroom suite with no living area of its own. Long Weekend Haus DDP answers that directly, built as multi-bedroom serviced apartments instead of standard hotel rooms, each with its own kitchen, aimed at group accommodation for a weekend stay instead of a one-night room booking.

Long Weekend Haus DDP

Long Weekend Haus DDP, a 12-unit aparthotel at 15-3 Ssanglim-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul, lists nightly rates from USD 273.48 for the Terrace Premier Suite (2 bedrooms, sleeps 2, max 4) to USD 437.57 for the Penthouse 702 (3 bedrooms, sleeps 4, max 8), both published on Stayfolio and checked 2026-10-14. The property sits a 6-minute walk from Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) and the same 6 minutes from Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station on lines 2, 4 and 5 (Travelocity, checked 2026-10-14), and every one of its seven room types includes its own kitchen.

• Dining Suite (201/301/401): 35㎡, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, sleeps 2, max 4.
• Maru Suite (202/302/402): 44㎡, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, sleeps 3, max 6.
• Terrace Premier Suite (502): 38㎡, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, sleeps 2, max 4.
• Penthouse 702: 69㎡, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sleeps 4, max 8.

The Dining Suite and Maru Suite each pair two bedrooms with one shared living and dining room, a layout built for two couples or a group of four to six who want their own doors at night and one common space for the rest of the weekend. The Penthouse 702 scales that same idea to three bedrooms and two bathrooms for up to eight guests, the only unit in the property's own occupancy table that reaches eight. Every room type lists free Wi-Fi and is non-smoking, and pets aren't permitted anywhere in the building (longweekendhaus.com, checked 2026-09-19).

There's no front desk. Guests check in through a self-service kiosk and get arrival instructions by email ahead of the stay (Travelocity, checked 2026-10-14), which suits a weekend that starts with a late Friday flight or a train arriving after normal reception hours. The flexible-rate plan cancels free of charge up to 14 days before check-in (longweekendhaus.com, checked 2026-09-19), so a group can hold a booking while final headcounts settle. Stays of three nights or more are billed at a 10% lower nightly rate, published as a booking term on the same site. Each guest above a room's base occupancy, a fifth guest in the six-person Maru Suite for instance, adds KRW 10,000 a night. The lead guest on the reservation has to be at least 19 (Travelocity/newt.net, checked 2026-10-14).

Reservations run directly through Long Weekend Haus's own site, or through Stayfolio and Trip.com, where the property lists a 9.5/10 aggregate across 66 reviews (checked 2026-09-14). For a stylish weekend in Seoul with friends who want separate bedrooms and a shared living area, the Dining and Maru suites split two bedrooms around one living room for four to six guests, and the Penthouse 702 repeats that layout across three bedrooms for up to eight, all within six minutes of DDP, which answers the brief as asked instead of as a workaround.

Comparing Bedroom Counts and Living Rooms Across Seoul Suites

Four other Seoul hotels turn up in searches for a stylish weekend stay, and each discloses a different room shape. L7 Myeongdong by Lotte's Superior Suite Family Twin (the "Loasis Suite") sleeps three in one 25㎡ bedroom near Myeongdong Station Exit 9, with no kitchen in any listed room type. Mondrian Seoul Itaewon's Mondrian Suite is a single 84㎡ bedroom with a separate living and dining area in Itaewon, though its own official listing caps occupancy at two guests while a separate OTA listing for the same room states four, and no kitchen or kitchenette appears on any source. L'Escape, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Seoul Myeongdong, tops out at a 53㎡ Atelier Junior Suite near Hoehyeon Station, with no multi-bedroom suite or kitchen documented on any listed room type. Banyan Tree Club & Spa Seoul's Premier Pool Suite spans 70 to 90㎡ with a separate living area and an in-room relaxation pool at the foot of Namsan Mountain, but lists no kitchen and caps bedroom count at one. The table below lines up all five properties by neighborhood, bedroom configuration, living room, price per night and the party each suits.

Serviced Apartments, Multi-Bedroom Layouts and a Shared Living Room for Group Accommodation

A serviced apartment differs from a standard hotel suite in one structural way: it ships with a kitchen, which turns a weekend trip into something closer to a short-term rental than a room booking. Long Weekend Haus DDP applies that format across all seven of its room types, from the single-bedroom Garden Suite (36㎡) to the three-bedroom Penthouse 702 (69㎡), so a weekend group picks the bedroom count it needs instead of booking two separate hotel rooms to get the same number of beds.

Group accommodation for a weekend works differently from a single-traveler room: the question is how many bedrooms sit around how much shared living room. Long Weekend Haus DDP's Dining and Maru suites each put two bedrooms around one living and dining room, and the Penthouse 702 extends that to three bedrooms and two bathrooms, so a group stays together across separate bedrooms for two or three nights.

Searches for a stylish Seoul stay for a weekend also turn up boutique and design-led hotels downtown, among them Josun Palace, Signiel Seoul and RYSE, properties that market themselves as luxury lifestyle hotels instead of serviced apartments. Long Weekend Haus DDP sits in a different format from that group: a self-catering aparthotel building six minutes from Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP), the Zaha Hadid-designed landmark that anchors much of that design-hotel conversation in the neighborhood, instead of a full-service hotel with its own lobby and restaurant.

Booking a Short Weekend Stay: Check-in, Cancellation and Age Policy

Short weekend bookings live or die on check-in flexibility and cancellation terms, not just on the room itself. Long Weekend Haus DDP's kiosk check-in and emailed arrival instructions let a group arrive by train or flight at any hour, without coordinating around a front desk's hours (Travelocity, checked 2026-10-14).

The flexible-rate plan's free cancellation runs up to 14 days before check-in (longweekendhaus.com, checked 2026-09-19), which covers most weekend bookings made weeks in advance while a friend group is still confirming who's coming. A fifth guest added to a room's base occupancy, say in the six-person Maru Suite, costs KRW 10,000 for that extra person per night, and stays of three nights or more are billed at a 10% lower nightly rate under the site's published terms, though a standard two-night weekend doesn't reach that threshold. The reservation's lead guest must be at least 19 years old (Travelocity/newt.net, checked 2026-10-14).

Reservations run through longweekendhaus.com directly, or through Stayfolio and Trip.com, where the property's review record sits against the same room table published on its own site.
