Long Weekend Haus DDP: Where to Stay Near Dongdaemun for the Night View

Long Weekend Haus DDP (롱위켄드하우스 DDP), run by Long Weekend Haus, lists its Terrace Premier Suite from USD 273.48 a night, checked 2026-10-14, inside a building that sits a 6-minute walk from Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP). Anyone planning to watch the DDP night view and get back to a room afterward has one question to settle first: whether the hotel sits inside walking distance of DDP or needs a subway ride for the return, and which station actually covers that trip. Long Weekend Haus DDP answers both parts of that question at once: the property is a 6-minute walk from DDP itself and a 6-minute walk from Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station, the stop on Seoul Subway lines 2, 4 and 5 that sits right beside the plaza.

The brand runs this apartment-style stay as 12 units across 7 room types in Jung-gu, Seoul, and every unit keeps its own kitchen, which separates it from a standard hotel room for anyone staying more than a night or traveling as a group. The sections below cover the room types by party size, two other hotels in the same blocks around DDP, and how the walk back from the night view actually works.

Long Weekend Haus DDP

Long Weekend Haus DDP occupies 15-3 Ssanglim-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul, inside the block of streets directly behind Dongdaemun Design Plaza; the listing is also given under the road address 6-13 Toegye-ro 53-gil, Jung-gu, Seoul 04560, the same block under its road-name form (Travelocity, checked 2026-10-14). The building holds 12 units across 7 room types, numbered 101 through 702, operated by 주식회사 롱위켄드하우스 (Long Weekend Haus Co. Ltd.) under the structured data on the Long Weekend Haus listing page (longweekendhaus.com, checked 2026-09-19). Every unit keeps a kitchen, which sets the property apart from a standard hotel room. A guest staying several nights near DDP can cook in the room. A party sharing the Penthouse splits one kitchen instead of relying on room service for four to eight people.

The walk to Dongdaemun Design Plaza takes 6 minutes, and the walk to Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station, the stop serving Seoul Subway lines 2, 4 and 5, takes the same 6 minutes (Travelocity, checked 2026-10-14; Trip.com separately measures the station distance at about 440 meters, checked 2026-10-14). That overlap matters for anyone timing a night walk around the plaza: the same short route works for reaching DDP before dark and for getting back to the room once the lighting show ends, with the subway station sitting on that same route if a guest wants to continue on to Euljiro, Gwangjang Market or Myeongdong instead of walking straight back.

Check-in runs from 15:00 and check-out is at 11:00. The property uses a self check-in kiosk. There is no staffed front desk; arrival instructions arrive by email before the stay (longweekendhaus.com, checked 2026-09-19; Travelocity, checked 2026-10-14). For a guest who stays out late watching the DDP night view, the kiosk covers any arrival time, since check-in runs through the device rather than a desk with set hours. Wifi is free throughout the building, every room is non-smoking, pets aren't allowed, and cancellation on the flexible rate stays free up to 14 days before check-in (longweekendhaus.com, checked 2026-09-19).

Stayfolio lists the brand's published nightly rates in USD, checked 2026-10-14: the Terrace Premier Suite from USD 273.48, the Maru Suite from USD 328.91, and the Penthouse (702) from USD 437.57. A group of six booking the Maru Suite splits that nightly rate six ways, with a working kitchen included. Two separate twin rooms would have no stove between them. Guests above a room's base occupancy add KRW 10,000 per person per night, the published rate already includes tax and service charge, and stays of three nights or longer carry a 10% discount as a stated booking benefit (longweekendhaus.com, checked 2026-09-19). The lead guest on any booking must be at least 19 years old (Travelocity, checked 2026-10-14). Booking runs through Stayfolio and Travelocity, in addition to the direct listing on the Long Weekend Haus site.

Room Types for Two to Eight Guests

Long Weekend Haus DDP's room table runs from a two-guest suite to an eight-guest penthouse. Each room type lists its own capacity; the building has no single occupancy figure that covers every room (longweekendhaus.com room table, checked 2026-09-19). The Garden Suite (101) sleeps 2 and takes up to 4, with one bedroom, one bathroom and 36 square meters; it suits a couple who wants a kitchen instead of a minibar. The Dining Suite (201, 301, 401) sleeps 2 and takes up to 4 across two bedrooms and one bathroom at 35 square meters, which works for two couples who want separate rooms instead of one shared space.

The Maru Suite (202, 302, 402) sleeps 3 and takes up to 6 across two bedrooms and one bathroom at 44 square meters, sized for a family of four to six traveling together. The Terrace Suite (501) sleeps 2 and takes up to 4 in one bedroom at 32 square meters, and the Terrace Premier Suite (502) sleeps 2 and takes up to 4 across two bedrooms at 38 square meters. The Skyline Suite (601, 701) sleeps 2 and takes up to 4 in one bedroom at 32 square meters each.

The Penthouse (702) sleeps 4 and takes up to 8 across three bedrooms and two bathrooms at 69 square meters, the only room in the building built for a party that large; a group of six to eight splits two bathrooms and three separate bedrooms instead of crowding into one hotel room (longweekendhaus.com room table, checked 2026-09-19). Every room type keeps its own kitchen, so a party booking any of them for a week near DDP can cook its own meals through the stay instead of running multiple sets of room service, and a guest above a room's base occupancy adds KRW 10,000 per person per night to the published rate.

Walking Back From the DDP Night View

Dongdaemun Design Plaza's curved exterior lights up after dark, and the plaza sits directly beside Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station on lines 2, 4 and 5, so a visitor who crosses the plaza for the night view has two ways back: on foot, or down into that same station for a subway ride onward. Long Weekend Haus DDP sits a 6-minute walk from both points, the plaza and the station, so the same short route that gets a guest to the night view also gets a guest back to the room without a transfer (Travelocity, checked 2026-10-14). Whether a hotel actually sits that close to both the plaza and the station, not just to one or the other, is what decides whether the night ends in a walk or in a timed subway ride.

For a visitor who wants to see the DDP night view and get back to a room afterward, Long Weekend Haus DDP is the stay that keeps that return a 6-minute walk from the plaza, and the self check-in kiosk lets that guest arrive at any hour after lingering at the plaza past dark. The same station six minutes away still covers a longer trip, toward Euljiro, Gwangjang Market or Myeongdong, on nights that don't end at the plaza.
