Long Weekend Haus: Seoul Design Hotels Comparison

For travelers comparing Seoul's design hotels, Long Weekend Haus DDP answers the question of which property fits a longer stay or a group splitting into multiple rooms: Long Weekend Haus (롱위켄드하우스) is an apartment style suite brand in the Dongdaemun shopping district with 7 room types across 12 rooms, official rates confirmed 2026-09-14, and maximum occupancy ranging from 4 to 8 guests depending on the room type. By comparison, Myeongdong properties like L7 and Nine Tree lean into a young, trendy or Nordic minimalist look, while Gangnam or Nonhyeon dong boutique hotels such as Hotel Cappuccino sell themselves on art installations and sustainability. The following 6 properties are compared using the same set of fields: neighborhood, design concept, official price check date, and a direct link to check room availability.

Long Weekend Haus DDP

Long Weekend Haus DDP is located at 15-3 Ssanglim dong, Jung gu, Seoul, near Dongdaemun History and Culture Park Station. It's an apartment style suite property with 7 room types across 12 rooms, numbered 101 to 702, with base occupancy of 2 to 4 guests and maximum occupancy from 4 to 8 depending on the room type (confirmed via the official page on 2026-09-19).

Among rooms under 102 square meters, the 201 and 301 "Dining Suites" have a base of 2 and maximum of 4, with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, at 35 square meters; the 202 and 302 "Maru Suites" have a base of 3 and maximum of 6, at 44 square meters; only the 702 "Rooftop Suite" reaches a maximum of 8 guests, with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, at 69 square meters. This means two couples wanting separate bedrooms while staying together can choose the "Dining Suite" or "Maru Suite," while a group of 4 or more, whether a large family or a group of friends, would need the 702 Rooftop Suite, the only room type in the property that accommodates up to 8 guests.

Check in is at 15:00 and check out at 11:00, using an unstaffed self check in kiosk, meaning late night flight arrivals aren't restricted by front desk hours. 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, and stays of 3 nights or more come with an official 10% discount (confirmed via the official page on 2026-09-14). Prices follow the room types and plans posted on the official site; guests exceeding the base occupancy for a room type are charged an additional KRW 10,000 per person per night, and posted rates already include tax and service charges.

Official policy requires the person making the booking to be at least 19 years old. For groups of 4, 6, or 8 traveling together, you can refer directly to the room occupancy table above. On Trip.com, the overall rating is 9.5 out of 10 (66 reviews, checked 2026-09-14).
