מלון שקט במיקום מרכזי
Pros:

מלון, יחסית, לא גדול. מעוצב נקי ויפה עם עבודות אמנות.
מקום מרכזי. התאים מאד לחגיגות יום ההולדת של בודהה. חזרנו אליו בסוף הטיול.

Cons:

בפעם הראשונה כביכול שדרגו, אבל בעצם הוסיפו מיטה שלישית שגרמה לצפיפות וחוסר מקום. כשחזרנו דאגתי שהחדר יהיה רק עם מיטה זוגית.
למי שלא אוכל בשר, אין כמעט מה לאכול בארוחת הבוקר ..

A great second stay — reliable, friendly and perfectly located, which is why we chose to come back.
Pros:

We returned after our first stay because we genuinely enjoyed the hotel. The Deluxe Double (23m2) on the top floor was smaller but still very comfortable, clean and well laid out. Service remained excellent, and the Jongno location continued to be one of the best parts of our trip — quiet, convenient and easy to get around.

Cons:

The room is more compact than the King room, so space for luggage is a little tighter. The lighting system is still a little quirky, but manageable once you become familiar with it. I was also disappointed that this room had a bathtub and shower combination. I really dislike these in hotels, and at 6'1" it meant ducking under the shower head. I had been led to believe that this room type only had walk‑in showers, so this was a let‑down.

A fantastic first stay in Seoul (stayed here twice) — calm, comfortable and in a perfect location.
Pros:

We loved our King room (the hotel calls this their Royal Double - 35m2) on the 12th floor — spacious, comfortable, and the balcony was a standout feature with great light and airflow. The location in Jongno is excellent, with cafés, transport and quiet streets all within easy reach. Staff were consistently warm, helpful and made the stay feel very welcoming. We enjoyed the Prima so much that we actually stayed here a second time during this trip after returning from Busan.

Cons:

The room lighting controls took a little getting used to, and the bathroom ventilation could be slightly stronger. The configuration of the furniture in the 35m² room felt a bit odd at first, but after a few small adjustments with the tables, chair and TV positioning, it worked well for us — and the staff didn’t change anything during our seven‑night stay, which I appreciated. Aside from that, there wasn’t much to fault; everything functioned well and the stay was very comfortable.
