The Prima Hotel Jongno

Situated in Seoul, 300 metres from Jogyesa Temple, The Prima Hotel Jongno features accommodation with a fitness centre and private parking.

The Prima Hotel is in a fantastic location in Jongno if you're a tourist. It was super close to the Insadong cultural area and walking distance from Gyeongbokgung Palace, Bukchon Hanok Village and Cheongdeokgung Palace. The staff were incredibly helpful and polite, helping us to book taxis and arrange a dinner reservation, and very understanding of our one-word Korean vocabulary (thank you). There was always someone on the desk who could help us in English. They even called our taxi when we left something behind in the lobby on our last day! Beds were comfortable, showers great, and there was a useful 24h coin-op laundry, and snack and vending machine. The cafe on site had coffees, pizza, fresh juice and mini pastries, a good option if you're after a very quick breakfast or evening meal and too tired to continue exploring! Also lots of art to look at in the public areas, so a nice ambience.

    It was a very good deal for a budget traveller considering the location, it's perfect and easy access to almost everywhere and everything. For an Asian like me, the room's size was just enough. Special thanks to the staff who let me checked in early coz I wasn't feeling well. Will stay here again if I'm traveling solo to Seoul again. :)

    Money for value a great deal. Location is hard to beat as it's in Myeongdong's heart and connects to many tourist sights even in walking distance, has plenty of bus and metro connection in proximity too. A great start into Seoul on a budget. It was clean and tidy. Free drinking water in the kitchen and other amenities.

    This is a very good budget place. It is well managed, spotlessly clean, excellent location, nice staff. The accommodation style is ‘goshiwon’ - very basic and cheap. So you get what you pay for.
