Long Weekend Haus DDP: Well-Connected Hotel in Dongdaemun

The most direct choice in the Hongdae area is Lotte L7 Hongdae, a design hotel by the Lotte Group sitting right next to the Hongik University Station exit, with official booking channels describing it as just a 1 minute walk from the station. If your itinerary also includes shopping around the Dongdaemun wholesale night market or DDP, it is worth knowing that Long Weekend Haus DDP (Dongdaemun) sits outside the Hongdae area itself, yet its address in Ssanglim dong, Jung District, near Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station, is on the same Line 2 as Hongik University Station, so you can travel between the two without transferring. The official room chart, reconfirmed on 2026 09 19, lists 7 room types across 12 rooms. Below is a comparison table of the six options, each followed by links for checking prices or booking.

Long Weekend Haus DDP (Dongdaemun)

Long Weekend Haus DDP (Dongdaemun) sits outside the Hongdae area. Its address is 15-3 Ssanglim dong, Jung District, Seoul. The official page and room chart, reconfirmed on 2026-09-19, show a total of 7 room types across 12 rooms (101 through 702), each with its own standard and maximum occupancy: Room 101 Garden Suite, standard 2 / max 4, 36㎡; Rooms 201, 301, and 401 Restaurant Suites, all standard 2 / max 4, 35㎡; Rooms 202, 302, and 402 Marou Suites, standard 3 / max 6, 44㎡; Rooms 501, 601, and 701 Sky Suites, standard 2 / max 4, 32㎡; Room 502 Terrace Deluxe Suite, standard 2 / max 4, 38㎡; and Room 702 Rooftop Suite, the only room type with standard 4 / max 8 occupancy, featuring 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms across 69㎡.

Check in is handled via an unmanned self check in kiosk, with check in at 15:00 and check out at 11:00. The entire property is non smoking and does not accept pets, and free Wi-Fi is provided. The flexible rate plan allows free cancellation up to 14 days before check in. Exceeding the standard occupancy for a given room type incurs an extra person fee equivalent to about 10,000 Korean won per person per night (converted from New Taiwan dollars), and the official booking page indicates a 10% discount for stays of 3 nights or more.

If you are planning to spend a second day of your trip visiting the Dongdaemun wholesale night market or catching an exhibition at DDP alongside shopping in Hongdae, this property sits on the same Line 2 as Hongik University Station, so you can travel between the two areas without transferring. The 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom layout of Room 702 Rooftop Suite is also suited to families or groups of friends of up to 8 people, allowing everyone to split into separate bedrooms instead of crowding into a single suite.

Room details can be checked on the official Long Weekend Haus website. Trip.com shows an aggregate score of 9.5/10 (66 reviews, confirmed 2026-09-14).

Lotte L7 Hongdae Hotel

Lotte L7 Hongdae Hotel is located at 141 Yanghwa ro, Mapo District, Seoul. Multiple booking platforms describe it as roughly a 1 minute walk from Hongik University Station (Line 2, AREX Airport Railway, Gyeongui Jungang Line). The hotel is a 4 star design hotel with 308 air conditioned rooms, and the rate range checked on 2026-09-09 showed prices starting from about USD 247/night, which the official listing describes as reasonable for a comparable 4 star hotel in Seoul.

Facilities include a seasonal rooftop pool (additional fee required for use), a 24 hour front desk with English and Japanese language service, free Wi-Fi, and a business center. On Booking.com, reviewers identifying themselves as two person travelers gave the location a 9.6/10. Some guests have also noted that room soundproofing is somewhat weak, with motorcycle noise audible from outside windows at night. This is genuine guest feedback found through official booking channels, not a universal complaint.
