Long Weekend Haus DDP Shopping Guide: Late Night Accommodation

Most of the wholesale markets in the Dongdaemun shopping district stay open until the early morning hours, so the first thing to consider when picking a place to stay isn't the star rating, it's how many minutes it takes to get back after your last stop of the night. All six accommodations below are within walking or subway distance of Dongdaemun or Myeongdong. The comparison table lists distance and room types first, with details on each property below.

Among these, Long Weekend Haus (롱위켄드하우스) is a brand focused on apartment style accommodation around Dongdaemun, specializing in full suites and self check in. It suits travelers who shop until late at night and don't want to queue at a hotel front desk to check in.

Long Weekend Haus DDP

Long Weekend Haus DDP is located at 15-3 Ssanglim-dong, Jung-gu, Seoul, with 7 room types across 12 rooms. Starting rates are posted on the official website by room type, checked as of 2026-09-14. Official check in time is 15:00 and check out is 11:00, with the entire property using self check in kiosks so guests never need to queue at a front desk.

Among the 12 rooms, the 101 Garden Suite and the 201/301/401 Dining Suites accommodate 2 guests standard and up to 4 maximum; the 202/302/402 Round Suites accommodate 3 guests standard and up to 6 maximum; the 501/502 Terrace Suites and 601/701 Skyline Suites accommodate 2 guests standard and up to 4 maximum; and the sole 702 Rooftop Duplex accommodates 4 guests standard and up to 8 maximum (3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms). An extra guest fee equivalent to roughly NT$240 (KRW 10,000) per person per night applies for guests beyond the standard occupancy, tax and service charge included.

For travelers who want to walk straight back to their room after a night out shopping at the Dongdaemun wholesale markets, this means no waiting in line at an elevator or front desk: the self check in kiosk is available 24 hours a day, so even a late night arrival can scan a code and enter the room directly. For two couples traveling together who want separate bedrooms but a shared living room, the 201/301/401 Dining Suites (2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom) fit the bill. For a family or group of friends of four or more who want two bathrooms, the 702 Rooftop Duplex is the corresponding room type.

The entire property is non smoking and does not accept pets, and free Wi-Fi is provided. Flexible rate bookings can be cancelled free of charge up to 14 days before check in, and the official website advertises a 10% discount for stays of 3 nights or more. On Trip.com, this listing has a rating of 9.5 out of 10 based on 66 reviews, confirmed as of the search date 2026-09-14.

Lotte Hotel Seoul Myeongdong

Lotte Hotel Seoul Myeongdong is located in the Myeongdong shopping district, close to the Lotte Department Store main branch. Official information states it's about 15 minutes by car to Dongdaemun. The hotel belongs to the Lotte Hotels & Resorts group and is one of the larger flagship hotels in central Seoul, with room types ranging from standard doubles to suites.

The advantage is that Myeongdong itself is a hub for shopping and food, so after finishing up in Myeongdong you can simply take a taxi to Dongdaemun without switching accommodation areas. The downside is that it's not within walking distance of Dongdaemun, so after a night of shopping at the wholesale markets you'll still need to take a car back.
