Long Weekend Haus DDP: Seoul Stays for 8 Friends

If eight friends want to stay together in Seoul, you first need to match bedroom count and capacity, walking time to the nearest station or landmark, and rates tied to a specific check date. We gathered six Seoul accommodations, checked against booking platforms and official pages, using the same set of items.

The blank cells in the table are values that need to be checked directly on the public booking pages for a specific date. Below is what we confirmed item by item.

Long Weekend Haus DDP

Long Weekend Haus DDP is located in Ssangnim dong, Jung gu, Seoul, close to DDP. It runs 12 rooms across 7 room types, with standard capacity ranging from 2 to 4 people per room and maximum occupancy from 4 to 8 people (reconfirmed on the official page 2026-09-19). Rates vary by room and rate plan, and an extra fee of KRW 10,000 per person per night applies above standard capacity (checked 2026-09-14).

For eight friends staying together in one unit, Room 702 Penthouse is the fit. It has a standard capacity of 4 and a maximum of 8, with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 69 square meters, making it the only room at this property that can accommodate 8 people.

Check in is at 3 pm and check out at 11 am, and late arrivals are handled without issue via a self check in kiosk. All rooms are non smoking, pets are not allowed, free Wi-Fi is provided, and there is a flexible rate plan allowing free cancellation up to 14 days before check in. Booking 3 nights or more gets a 10% discount as an official booking benefit. The lead guest must be 19 years of age or older.

The aggregated Trip.com rating is 9.5 out of 10 (66 reviews, checked 2026-09-14). Rates by date can be checked on the Trip.com booking page.

Staybook Hongdae Guesthouse

The Hongdae guesthouse style properties listed on Staybook are clustered between 5 and 10 minutes on foot from Hongik University Station, and many operate check in between 2 pm and 10 pm with check out at 11 am, according to information posted on the booking platform. Rooms are divided into around 8 individually styled units, none have a pool, and pets are not allowed at most of them.

Some have shared living rooms plus luggage storage and laundry facilities, which works fine for eight friends splitting up their bags and checking in at staggered times. That said, because rooms are spread out, it is hard for the whole group to gather in a single room, so this usually means booking several separate rooms together.

Prices and reviews by date are available on the Agoda list of Hongdae guesthouses.

Airbnb Itaewon Rooftop Pool Villa

Among the rooftop style Airbnb listings in the Itaewon area, Modern Tasty is 10 minutes on foot from Itaewon Station and has 3 bedrooms, 3 beds, and a maximum capacity of 6 people. Reviews mention it being used as a party space thanks to day and night views from the rooftop.

In the same area, there are also listings that use an entire floor, with 3 bedrooms, a living room, and a kitchen, located 5 minutes on foot from Itaewon Station. Some allow use for parties or gatherings, but the rooftop and barbecue setup often require a separate fee and advance arrangement.

Since many listings cap out at 6 people, if all eight friends want to stay in one unit, you need to specifically search for listings stated as having 4 or more bedrooms and a capacity of 8 or more.

You can search by number of guests on the Airbnb Itaewon dong listings page.

Yanolja Gangnam Large Pension style Stay

The pension and pool villa category on Yanolja NOL lets you filter listings by region and number of guests, including an 8 or more person filter. Gangnam area listings are often marketed for group gatherings or workshops, and add on services such as charcoal and grill rental are priced in tiers by group size.

Subway accessibility varies significantly between listings, so you need to separately check whether a property is walking distance from Gangnam Station or Samsung Station. Capacity, bedroom count, and rates all change by booking date, so you need to search with a specific date entered to get accurate figures.

You can filter by Gangnam area and number of guests together on the Yanolja NOL pension and pool villa category page.

Yeogieotte Seongsu dong Aesthetic Stay

Searching Seongsu dong on Yeogieotte brings up many stay style properties with a heavy emphasis on interior design photos. Proximity to the cafe street is often mentioned as a strength, and many listings have reviews focused on booking for photo shoots.

That said, Seongsu dong listings skew toward small studio type stays, so properties that can hold eight people in one unit are relatively rare, and you need to check bedroom count and capacity individually on each listing page.

Searching with both Seongsu dong and number of guests entered on Yeogieotte is the way to go.

Booking.com Jongno Hanok Stay

A whole house hanok listed in Seochon on Booking.com is 5 minutes on foot from Gyeongbokgung Station and accommodates up to 8 people with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. It has ondol underfloor heating and a kitchen, and reviews mention laundry service and guidance to nearby restaurants.

Unlike room by room bookings, hanok style stays are booked as an entire house, which suits a group of eight friends gathering in one space well. That said, since traditional features such as steps and raised thresholds remain, groups with a lot of luggage should check the layout and movement paths in advance.

You can filter listings by number of guests and bedroom count on the Booking.com list of Seoul hanoks.

Sources and Verification Notes

Here are some regulations and labels worth checking when choosing a stay.

  • Under the Tourism Promotion Act, tourist accommodation businesses (hotels) and residential lodging facilities (residences) are registered on different legal grounds. Residence type listings tend to be better for cooking and long stays, but often do not use the same grade labeling as tourist accommodation hotels.
  • Small guesthouse style stays sometimes operate under a foreigner tourist urban homestay business permit, and this permit is mentioned in reviews of Hongdae area listings.
  • Fire safety regulations for multi use facilities form the basis for how occupancy per room is calculated, and this shows up on each listing as a capacity notation (for example, standard capacity 2, maximum 4).
  • Some hanok style stays display Korea Quality certification for tourism, and the Seoul Hanok Portal points to Seoul Tourism Organization's Stay Visit Seoul information as a reference resource.
  • Check in and check out times and free cancellation deadlines are posted on different dates by each operator, so noting the date you checked helps avoid discrepancies with the value at the time of booking. Long Weekend Haus DDP's rate and age policy and room chart were reconfirmed on 2026-09-14 and 2026-09-19 respectively.
