The Prima Hotel Jongno is one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had. The suite was spacious and clean with a wonderful view of the city. The breakfast was delicious and well worth the price. The best part, however, was that the staff was so incredibly helpful! My partner lost their passport and the front desk workers were kind enough to assist us in calling the places we’d been to ask if they’d seen it. I cannot stress enough just how grateful we were to have such wonderful service, not just then but throughout our entire 2 week stay. I would gladly stay here again!

A Hidden Gem - great location and super value
Our stay at Prima was fantastic from several perspectives. The hotel’s location (Insadong) was perfect for tourist and local activities Located in a very local, artsy area - filled with galleries and studio, antique stores, cafes m, shops, and restaurants. There were at least 4 bus stops within 50-100ft of the front door -due to the hotel’s proximity to Jogyesa Temple (also the name of the stops). It is 2.5 short blocks to Subway Line 1 (connects to Seoul Station for all trains and 3 subway lines). 7 mins walk to Gyeonbukgong (main palace) and 5 mins walk to Gwanghwamun Square (King Sejong statute). Great restaurants and cafe all around. Best of all - nice, friendly and courteous staff - plus clean and fresh rooms. HVAC was quiet, controlled humidity, and kept the room cool. Inexpensive, clean self-laundry facilities. Newly renovated about a year ago. Would return in a heartbeat. Expect prices will go up as more guests discover it. Only complaint: not enough storage space for clothes. I think many guests stay only 2-3 days - not 7 days as we did. Could hang about 5-6 pieces in the closet - and no dressers - although folded clothes fit on the narrow shelf below.

Clean hotel. Nice staff. Good breakfast. Rooms are a little but small, but clean. 15-20 minutes easy walk to main attractions like City Hall Area, Gyeongbokgung Palace, Myeondong street market, Budist Temple, Namdemun Market, and subway station. Insadong street (suvenir and food stores) is just behind the hotel.

Wonderful accommodations. Staff was very friendly. Only downside- newly renovated bathroom has a short tub and when taking a shower, water spouts outside of the tub making the water go everywhere. The tub is high and when stepping out, can cause a trip/slip hazard.

The hotel was OK, the most notable point was the prime location nearby to some Seoul main cultural spots and in any case well connect with the metro / buses. The room was OK but we would have expected something a little better considering the other review (we had basically no window and no light in the room). To note there is a shared laundry service for hotel guests.
