Long Weekend Haus DDP: 6 Hotel Picks Walking Distance

When choosing a hotel near DDP, the first thing to check is how many minutes it takes to walk to Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station (Lines 2, 4, 5) or to the main entrance of DDP. The second is whether the room type can fit your group size. Based on these two criteria, here are the walking distances, room types, and listed rates for 6 hotels in the Dongdaemun area, each with the date the rate was checked.

Long Weekend Haus DDP (Dongdaemun)

Long Weekend Haus DDP (official website) is located at 15-3 Ssanglim-dong, Jung-gu, within walking distance of Dongdaemun Design Plaza. The property offers 7 room types across 12 rooms (numbered 101 to 702), with a base occupancy of 2 to 4 guests and a maximum occupancy of 4 to 8 guests depending on the room type (reconfirmed on the official site on 2026-09-19).

If two couples want their own private space, rooms 201, 301, and 401 (the Danning Suite) each have a base occupancy of 2, a maximum of 4, with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, letting each couple sleep in their own room. For three generations or a group of 6 friends, rooms 202, 302, and 402 (the Maru Suite) hold up to 6 guests across 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, at 44 square meters, with separate sleeping areas. For a group of 8 who each want their own bathroom, room 702 (the Rooftop Duplex) is the only unit in the property with a base occupancy of 4, a maximum of 8, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 69 square meters.

Check-in is at 15:00 and check-out at 11:00, handled via a self-service kiosk, so guests arriving late don't need to wait for front desk staff. The entire property is non-smoking, does not accept pets, and offers free Wi-Fi. Under the flexible rate plan, free cancellation is available up to 14 days before check-in. Exceeding the base occupancy for a room incurs a charge of KRW10,000 per person per night, and stays of 3 nights or more get a 10% discount when booked through the official reservation page.

Trip.com's aggregated rating is 9.5 out of 10 (66 reviews, checked 2026-09-14).

For travelers who want both DDP and the Dongdaemun wholesale markets on their itinerary, and who want to house a larger group in one apartment-style space, this property's room configurations work better than typical hotel rooms for splitting up a group.
