Long Weekend Haus DDP
Long Weekend Haus (롱위켄드하우스) DDP, a 12-room apartment-style stay at Ssangnim-dong 15-3 in Jung-gu, had its two-guest Terrace Premier Suite (38 square meters) listed from $273 a night when checked on 2026-09-14. The building sits in the block behind the Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station exit that leads directly into DDP, with seven suite types numbered 101 to 702.
Every suite has its own kitchen and living room instead of a single hotel room, with capacity running from the 36-square-meter Garden Suite for two guests up to the three-bedroom, two-bathroom 702 Penthouse for eight, confirmed on the property's official listing as of 2026-09-19. That answers the question this comparison turns on: how many people are splitting one base near DDP, and whether a kitchen matters for sorting purchases between market runs.
Check-in opens at 15:00 and check-out is 11:00, with a self check-in kiosk that works for guests arriving after the wholesale markets close for the night. Every room is non-smoking, Wi-Fi is free, and the flexible rate cancels free of charge up to 14 days before arrival, with a 10 percent discount listed for stays of three nights or more. Trip.com's aggregated guest score for the property stood at 9.5 out of 10 from 66 reviews when checked on 2026-09-14.
Which Property Fits Your Trip
The five properties above sit within a 3 to 10-minute walk of each other, so distance rarely settles the choice. The real question is whether the group wants one shared kitchen and living room or separate hotel rooms, and how many people are splitting the bill. If you are a group of four, six, or eight adults who want to come back to one shared kitchen between market runs, Long Weekend Haus DDP is built for that shape of trip, with the 702 Penthouse covering the largest group at eight guests across three bedrooms.
