We enjoyed our stay at the Prima Hotel Jongno. It was a very central location with bus stops right outside the hotel and 2 subway stations within 6 minutes walk. A lot of attractions or markets were within a 15 to 30 minute walk as well. We had a superior room which was a nice size and very clean. The shower was spacious but the bathroom itself was small with not much space between the toilet and sink/counter. I found the bed a little on the hard side. The staff were helpful and courteous. There is a small laundry and a small lounge with a drink vending machine and a microwave. Also a computer and printer. I would recommend this hotel.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is absolutely perfect — Gyeongbokgung Palace is just a short walk away, and Ikseon-dong and Insadong are only a few minutes on foot. 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!

I think there are better options in Seoul for around the same price. The Prima wasn't bad per se, just a touch below what you can get from other hotels in the area.
