The check- in was quick, the front desk staff was nice. But there are a couple of downsides, no luggage carts, we had to unload a dozen of big luggages from the airport van and load them again in the elevator in two trips.

The hotel is very accessible to everything , very clean , staff are nice and courteous. The only downside in this hotel is they don’t have airconditjoning during winter time and the front desk staff affirmed it , only heater. We turned off the heater as it was hot when it’s ON , we frequently open the window just to get some cool air. Other than that the hotel is very nice, i miss their pillows. I would stay again at this hotel at summer time when the air conditioner is ON.

I stayed here for 27 nights and absolutely loved it! Clean, newly renovated, staff was able to help me with making a phone call within Seoul, and having the laundry room was a life saver! I will definitely be staying here next time I visit! Close to the subway, bus stops and Insadong.

An excellent hotel. Great value for money and with all the amenities you need (gym, laundry, fast wifi, vending machines). The room was spotless and the bed very comfortable. While small like most Seoul hotels, I did not feel cramped. I’d happily stay here again and would recommend to others. Perfect location near major tourist attractions, restaurants and transport.

The Prima Hotel, Jongno was recently renovated (in 2024?) and everything looked and smelled "fresh". Also very conveniently located whether for walks, bus, subway (Metro) and nany bearby "tourist" attractions.
