The Prima Hotel Jongno

Review: Spent 4 nights here exploring Seoul.nnLocation is great as within walking distance of major attractions (places, Hanok village, Myeondong, Itaewon, Insadong, the stream (walk it at night) plus it's two stops from Seoul station and serviced by buses and subways to go further afield.nnGreat restaurants and cafes around (try Onion and Artist bakery for coffees and cakes, London Bagel plus loads of others.nnRooms are comfortable and quiet. Prima offers the ability to wash clothes (3,000 won onsite, a gym plus free filtered water refills). nnHotel staff were helpful and accommodating. nnThanks for a great stay.

Positive points: Everything about this hotel is good. Walking distance to Insadong, Jogye temple, several palaces, subway stations, and hundreds of restaurants.

Review: Everything is great except the bathroom, which I found it a bit disappointing. Firstly, the shower area is not completely sealed off but just separated by a flimsy shower curtain which doesn't even touch the ground. Therefore after every shower your bathroom will be flooded so you would have a messy slippery floor every time you go to 🚽. Secondly, the shower area has a upper-part glass wall separating it from the bedroom area. Though semi-transparent it is, it might be embarrassing for 2 friends or even father and daughter to live here together, right? If this bathroom setup doesn't concern you, welcome to stay and enjoy this great and newly renovated art decor hotel!

Positive points: The front desk customer service was excellent.

Review: 2nd visit would definitely recommend

Positive points: Perfect location to see all prime spots from temple, palaces, museum and market in walking distance. Stay was comfortable and nice

Positive points: Good location, good breakfast,nConvenient , very close to many attraction.nVery helpful staff, kudos to BYOUNGJON SONG for making our stay and travel easy

Positive points: Once booked, Prima Hotel staff communicated twice about additional information to assist with the day of our arrival (Modes of transportation to get to hotel). We appreciated the information as it helped us to know which Airport Limousine Bus to take and where to get off (YMCA). nnThe Prima Hotel is located in a spot basically next to Insadong and a decent walk to Myeongdong, two great places to visit. The Airport Limousine (6002) drops you off about an 8 - 15 minute walk to the hotel, depending on your pace and how much luggage you're hauling. Buses are within a minutes walk to get you to and from the city.nnThe hotel's sign is bright red, so make sure to look up. nnThere is a cafe downstairs next to the hotel's entrance, a GS25, Coffe Bean, and Paris Baguette about a 5 minute walk away.nnIf you're good on your feet, Jogyesa Temple is within a 10-minute walk, and Myeongdong is a good 20 - 30 minute walk, while Insadong is behind the hotel. nnWe chose the Standard King Room, a good size for the four nights we stayed in Seoul. There is a desk, tv, a standing shower, bidet, and a hair dryer in the room. The bed is on the firmer side, but with how much walking we did, once we were back to the hotel, sleep was immediate. Staff was amazing and really helpful in checking us in and assisting us with confirming our Airport Bus Limousine by providing the time schedule for pick-up. nnWe were able to do a late check-out as the staff communicated that it was available to us with an additional charge, which was totally fine as our flight was quite late in the night and we wanted to do more shopping beforehand. Plus, we needed a little extra time to get our luggage organized.nnLoved the staff and location and appreciated their service. Absolutely look forward to another stay.

Review: Room is very large and clean but only one mirror in toilet.

Positive points: Really nice location, walking distance to many awesome places including couple Hanok villages and palaces, 30 min nice stroll to Myeongdong. nnThe breakfast is really good - it's everything you'd want from a Korean hotel breakfast with a nice choice of Korean food and some American sausage and bacon for those missing home. nnAC units can be controlled from the room and are rather quiet

Review: Good location. Everything you need in walking distance: food, coffee, shopping, metro.

Positive points: Upon the entry to the hotel, you can see how clean and modern it is. Didn't expect it from 3 star hotel at all. The staff was friendly and always happy to help. There's a gym, common kitchen and a laundry room if needed. Cleaning was daily and very thorough. Beds were comfortable with clean bedsheets. Pillow cases were changed every second day.

Review: Room space is small, bit it's clean and is decent walking distance to many tourist must do's

Positive points: Central location, great facility, very good staff

Review: Wonderful place to visit Korea view

Positive points: Very good staff, comfortable, clean, central location, laundry facility, gym, proximity to transportation
