Tiny room, great location, warm staff, unbeatable Jongno address
Pros:

The location is simply unbeatable. I watched a parade pass right outside my window, which says it all. The staff was genuinely kind and welcoming, and the hotel was clean and well-maintained. For a solo traveler spending a few nights in Seoul, it ticked all the right boxes.

Cons:

My room was very small: a single bed, a desk, and barely any storage space. Nowhere to comfortably unpack a suitcase for a longer stay. A rain shower head and some basic toiletries like lotion would also be a nice upgrade.

Wonderful Stay to So Many Options
Pros:

This hotel was in the vicinity of many tourist sites and several public transportation options. The Prima Hotel is a wonderful hotel that you can walk to a lot of nearby sites, restaurants, shopping malls, and so much more.

The next thing I like to mention is that the breakfast, though not free, is pretty good. You may book it in an included package. The foods they offer are from both Western and Korean options; it definitely will make anybody, especially selective eaters content.

Cons:

The one major draw back in my opinion is the size of the rooms. Though clean and welcoming, they are tiny and barley enough room to open a suit case. At least this is what I can say about the room we booked.

Lastly, the area can be quite busy so be prepared for crowds. The area can be quite congestive due to a lot of foot traffic and vehicle traffic.

Einfacheres Hotel in prima Lage
Pros:

Die Lage war prima. Vieles sogar fussläufig erreichbar. Viele leckere Restaurants in der Umgebung. Es war alles sauber und es hat uns im Zimmer, welches schon eher klein war, dennoch an nichts gefehlt.

Cons:

Das Frühstück war schlecht. Es sollte 4 Arten von Toastbrot oder ähnliche Fertigbackwaren geben. Sie sagten jeden Tag, das Vollkornbrot oder der Rest sei leider ausgegangen. Bei einem 4tätigen Aufenthalt etwas mager, vor allem weil der weisse Toast wirklich wie Gummi schmeckte und die Alternativen nicht wirklich gross waren. Also eher ohne Frühstück buchen und in der Gegend etwas Leckeres essen.

Séjour à la hauteur de nos attentes .
Pros:

Nous avions déjà séjourné au Prima Hôtel en 2025 , et avions été très satisfaits. Cette année encore, nous avons apprécié le lieu stratégique, l’accueil très professionnel, les prestations diverses, le service, le petit déjeuner sous forme de buffet, le ménage quotidien, et le confort de cet hôtel . Nous retournerons certainement dans cet établissement lors de notre prochain voyage à Séoul.

Cons:

Tout a été parfait ! Merci

Pros:

Position near many metro lines station and bus in insadong. Many restaurants and attractions nearby.

Cons:

The gym is useless. Just a few tapiroulant a flat bench and some really light dumbbels. Forget to train good there. The mirror doesn't have a light in bathroom and it's very dark. Automatic light at the entrance activated whenever you go to the bathroom can bother if you go at night. No mosquito net at the windows and even on 12th floor many mosquitoes. Breakfast is meh. Worst scrambled egg ever (watery and buttery, really bad taste) all was oily greasy and low quality.
