At The Prima Hotel Jongno, travellers repeatedly praise the central, walkable location and very clean, recently renovated rooms, alongside friendly, helpful staff, while noting compact room sizes, some bathroom design quirks, and occasional temperature or street-noise issues.

Breakfast is generally considered good, often with Korean options, though several guests found the selection modest. Facilities such as a coin laundry, small gym, and onsite cafe add convenience, though parking can be limited. Well-suited to short city stays.

The hotel offered great amenities like laundry, gym, nice restaurant. The staff was helpful, and the room itself exceeded my expectations. The one criticism I have is the fact that a guest attempted to enter my unit by banging on my door multiple times after 12:30 am while I was sleeping. It really scared me. I immediately called down to the front desk, and the gentleman at concierge was quick to help me and make sure I was safe. I would suggest the hotel code the keys to only be able to access the floor assigned to the guest, as well as common areas where amenities are. The person banging on my door confused his floor with mine- and it was a very scary experience while being alone in the room.

Loved this hotel, it was close to both palaces, easy walking distance. Close to markets both food and clothes. close to the Cheonggyecheon stream, a beautiful walkway. Staff were excellent, rooms were clean, on site laundry was great and inexpensive. the optional breakfast is very worthwhile. would recommend this hotel to anyone going to Seoul.

This hotel is conveniently located! it is near the markets and the Tourist attractions! The train station is about 5 min walk so that was great. The hotel is near lots of restaurants which we appreciated when we were jet-lagged and found a place to eat during wee hours. The streets are safe to walk. The facilty has a self-serve washer,dryer available. We appreciated that since we traveled light and we did 4 countries on this trip so having washer/dryer to pack clean clothes on our way into our next destination is great. We did not have breakfast included in our reservations but it was okay because there are so many restaurants, cafe's. The Prima Hotel Jongno is very good hotel to stay in again on our next visit in Seoul

Väldigt fräscht hotell med bra läge för mat och shopping. Nära två t-banelinjer och ca 10 min att gå från flygbussen. Frukosten var också bra om man vill prova koreanskt, lite svagare om man föredrar kontinental frukost men det är buffé så alla blir mätta. Praktiskt med tvättmaskin och torktumlare på hotellet så man inte behöver packa med så mycket kläder! Gymmet såg ut att ha vikter o löpband och kanske mer saker men det provade jag inte.

Really good locations, easy to get to airport and all close to all touristic attractions. Location couldn’t been better. Rooms were a little small, but was clean and comes with good amenities. All staff were friendly, from reception to cleaning staff. Very welcoming and helpful. Cafe in hotel convenient, a little expensive but you do have cafes, 7-11, amazing coffee shops, cheaper close by. The gym and laundry room is nice and easy to use. I would recommend and I would stay again.

새롭게 리폼하신것같아요. 로비입구부터 청결하고 환해서 좋았고 엘리베이트에는 객실카드사용으로 보안이 좋았어요. 또 세탁실에도 카드키사용 다리미배치등 좋았어요. 위치도 도보로 인사동 골목들을 누빌수있고 동대문도 택시로 20분거리, 경복궁도 도보로 갈 거리였어요. 단지 예민한 전 새집증후군-새가구등에서 나는 냄새에 눈이 따가워서 창문열어두고 잤어요. 베개도 동일한 높이로 두개씩 배치했는데 낮은베개를 선호하는 사람을 위해 높낮이가 다른걸 배치하면 어떨까 생각합니다. 생수도 매일 두병씩 서비스👍😆 주시네요. 잘지내고 갑니다.

We were able to visit so many places easily without needing transportation. The room was very clean and always smelled fresh after housekeeping. The entire hotel felt well maintained, and the staff were consistently friendly and welcoming. Overall, a great stay and highly recommended for anyone visiting Seoul!

The location of the hotel is excellent -- a couple of blocks from Insadong, and close to metro stops. Loved the location. Hotel is modern and clean -- has pay laundry machines. My room -- 904 -- was fine --snug, but I was solo so no problem. I think it was normal for Seoul. My only concern was the street noise. The hotel is on a busy street, and so I asked for a quiet room on the side of the building, directly facing an office building -- no view. That was fine with me. But even then, the noise of the street was audible. I couldn't help wondering why such a nice hotel doesn't invest in soundproof windows. Problem solved. It wasn't a dealbreaker for me as I use good earplugs, but my guess is that the rooms on the street could be noisy for light sleepers. I very much liked rhe hotel, especially the location and the price point, and I would probably stay there again.

Excellent location, courteous and knowledgeable staff. Rooms were very clean and well kept. The Korean food breakfast was unexpectedly good. 2 small detractors: our room was extremely small and the bed was extremely large - it was hard to actually access both sides of the bed given the room's size. Also, there was no exhaust fan in the bathroom, so after a shower the entire room became extremely humid.

They were way above average in all our other dealings with them too. But the room was tiny and difficult to survive in for 3 days. It would be worthwhile paying extra for a bigger room. The location is excellent!
