Stayed for about 7 nights at the prima hotel and it was amazing!!! There was wifi, AC, a mini fridge and a TV for entertainment. The rooms were very clean and the service was amazing as the staff were all very kind. The cleaning staff were very sweet and would greet us whenever they saw us haha. Fresh towels were always provided whenever the room was cleaned and as we opted for the breakfast, we found it decent enough and the fries were really good LOL! I would definitely stay here again as there were no faults! Location was very convenient as well since it’s a 20 minute walk from the LOTTE dept mall and the main streets of Myeongdong. Also very close to the main subway line as well. 100/10 would recommend!

The hotel was clean and quiet at night and below there was a CU convenient outlet but a bit of a distance from Myeongdong. Staff's command of English was pretty poor. Default answer to us was usually a \"no\" when we asked for help or something, unless we pressed on and kept asking. We asked for sewing kits. Counter staff told us (not just one staff) immediately the hotel did not have until we told them that we saw one of them took out a sewing kit in the morning before. We asked for morning call service twice, but the phone in our room never rung for once. For the 2nd request, the gentleman from the counter came up to knock on the door to wake us up. That was nice of him but not the lady for the 1st morning call request. We were almost late for the Nami Island tour due to the missing call.

Hotel room did not come with toothbrush and toothpaste. Not well provisioned for the high price paid. So not so value for money for this hotel. The room was extremely small and no way to properly put and open a big check-in luggage for 2 pax. Limited circulation space within the room. Don't bother to ask about public transport option. The default advice counter staff would offer you is always Taxi rides.

We had a great stay here! Hotel was in a great location, rooms were very clean and beds were comfortable! Hotel staff were also polite and helpful. Amenities were sufficient (gym, laundry, business centre). Design of the bathrooms could use some improvement as well water tends to leak out of the bathtub due to how the shower heads are positioned.

Easy access to public transit.
Close to so many sight seeing and shopping places. The staffs were all very courteous and nice. I would go back there again. CU convenient store is right outside for late night snacks and recharging transit card or emergency items you might need.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The hotel staff are kind, knowledgeable and helpful. The rooms are quiet, clean and provide enough space to be comfortable. We had the breakfast one day and it included a decent variety of Korean and western dishes. The hotel is conveniently located near train stations and bus stops and walkable to many popular cafes, restaurants and areas including Insadong, Bukchon Hanok village, the pocha streets in Jongno, and the Gyeongbokgung Palace. We will likely stay again at Prima when we return to Seoul.

Tiny rooms with no views, nowhere to put suitcases, no wardrobe just hangers on some hooks. Huge bed far too big for a small room, my husband had to walk sideways around pressed up against the wall to get in and out…terrible design. At night there were so many lights illuminated in the dark that you could do nothing about; air conditioning had bright power lights directly above the bed, three sets of 4 light switches all glowed at night including the one right in the middle of the bed where you sleep. The tv switch glowed and there was a glow behind the tv. Another glowing light in a corner and worst of all a really bright motion sensor ceiling light so any time you went to the bathroom in the middle of the night it lit up the whole room waking the other person up. Overpriced for such a small room. Most of the staff were great but one woman on reception wasn’t friendly…didn’t greet us when we checked in the second time for end of our trip, just looked at us and said “check in?” no smile, nothing. Massive lobby, tiny cramped room. Ridiculous design. Hotel designers should be made to sleep in the rooms they’re trying to design. Cannot recommend this place.

The hotel was very good. The lobby and rooms were very clean. On site laundry machines are a life saver! Staff were very helpful and friendly, especially since there was a language barrier with Korean and English. They helped us navigate the area, gave good directions on uber drivers. The hotel location was situated in a very safe spot, I felt very safe walking around at all hours of the day and night. A lot of good restaurants to choose from. The surrounding area wasn’t overly busy like other well known areas, which was perfect because it gave you a little bit of break from the busyness of the city. You were just a few blocks away from the Cheonggyecheon river walk so it was easy and quite peaceful to be close to. I’d definitely stay here again if I ever make it back to Seoul.

Great location for all the touristy activities, friendly staff from front desk to housekeeper. Machine out in front entrance to exchange Korean won and refund the taxes on certain spendings. Convenience store next door for drinks, snacks and to top up the public transportation Tmoney card.

This hotel has been my usual place to stay in Seoul. Great location from major cultural places to visit: palaces, temple, museums, galleries, restaurants and all public transportations. The staff is always courteous and helpful. The reason for 4-star rating is because the standard twin room where I usually stay seems to become smaller. It seems less room around the beds to move around and the bathroom seems more crowded. However, positive aspects of the place outweigh the negatives. I will probably stay here again.

Extra bath towel hook please!!!

Very well located near Gyeongbukgung Palace, Myeong dong, and Insadong. Our room for 3 was comfortable and clean. The beds were nice and we slept well. I think there might have been an issue with the HVAC system but it wasn't a major issue. The laundry room was on our floor so it was very convenient.

Was there for 5 nights and the hotel lets you leave your luggage with them before hand. It was a wonderful stay. Room was a bit small for 2 twin beds but it worked out if you’re just sleeping. Cleaning staff were super nice and friendly. The front desk staff were great. We didn’t get breakfast. Air conditioning worked!

Extremely clean, staff at front desk, cleaning crew and breakfast crew all very nice, helpful. We had two rooms, both were soundproof and we faced the street. Room very clean. Our air conditions worked wonderfully. Breakfast was tasty. Rooms cleans every day, two free bottles of water each day. Lots of TV channels too. Excellent location to the palaces, stream, steps away from Insa-Dong and other popular sights. Would definitely stay again (we stayed over a week). The Prima also has an Art Center which if you stay at hotel receive free admission. We saw some very interesting pottery collection. Worth seeing.

I liked everything about it except that I couldn’t find dinner options nearby after 9 pm. That may have been due to my unfamiliarity with the area though and not knowing which direction to walk. I forgot to bring a power adaptor and the front desk staff kindly loaned me one, which really saved me.

Loved the heated toilet seat.
We contacted the hotel prior to our visit about my daughter using a Wheelchair and they kindly upgraded us to a more suitable room.
They were very helpful on the front desk, booking our taxis and a tour to the DMZ.
A great stay and I can highly recommend.

The room is very nice, clean and tidy. We were a little short on towels. Probably the only complaint is to get to one side of the bed was a very narrow area where you hit your shin every single time. 2 of us stayed in that room and we both have big bruises on our shins.

We really enjoyed our stay here. We’re a couple visiting Seoul for the first time and wanted something central and close to key sites like the palaces, without being right in the busiest areas like Hongdae. The location was excellent and honestly so well situated that we’d happily stay here again. The staff were great and very attentive throughout our stay, and the price felt reasonable for what we got. Overall, a great experience.

The original room was tight and dark. Two double beds were pushed together to make a king-sized bed. The bed was very stiff. The tub was small, requiring a little more care getting in and out. There was a shallow closet, about 1ft deep; no drawers to put things away. The building next door looms close. I was on the 3rd floor. So, there was very little natural light.
The staff was very accommodating, and moved me to a larger room, facing a different direction. There was no closet here, but the additional room made it easier to keep things from being too cluttered.

We enjoyed our stay at the Prima Hotel Jongno. It was a very central location with bus stops right outside the hotel and 2 subway stations within 6 minutes walk. A lot of attractions or markets were within a 15 to 30 minute walk as well. We had a superior room which was a nice size and very clean. The shower was spacious but the bathroom itself was small with not much space between the toilet and sink/counter. I found the bed a little on the hard side. The staff were helpful and courteous. There is a small laundry and a small lounge with a drink vending machine and a microwave. Also a computer and printer. I would recommend this hotel.
