The Prima Hotel Jongno Insadong

Hotel was in a perfect location, walking distance to Gyeongbokgung palace, Insadong, Cheongyecheon stream, myeongdong. Lots of restaurants and shops nearby as well.

The room was not big but very very cozy, not compact at all. No matter the public area or the room are all very clean. It has a coin laundry inside the hotel, which was very convenient and definitely a plus for long-term travelers like me and my friend. The location is very convenient too. It’s very near to city centre. There are several bus stations nearby, and it only takes a few minutes walk to the metro station. Lots of good restaurants to eat at and shops to visit in the neighborhood. Also very close to several Olive Youngs. Definitely will come back again next time I visit Seoul.

We totally made the right decision by booking this hotel. It's so accessible by train and bus. The airport bus stops 5min walk away from there and so is the train station, Jonggak. There is another train station the other way about 7min walk, Anguk station. The city bus stop is just a few steps from the hotel and there is a convenience store right outside the hotel entrance. It is also a few bus stops away from most attractions like Gyeongbokgung (Palace) and Bukchon, and in fact you can even walk if you want to. Only 2-3 stops away from most of the areas we wanted to visit. Super central location. The room and bathroom are clean, and bed is comfortable. Four of us stayed comfortably in a family room (2 single bed, 1 double bed), with space to open our luggage. 2 sinks in the bathroom was helpful too. The receptionist also allowed us to check in early because the room was ready early and it helped a lot. I booked a single room the night before, and was also upgraded to a double room. So grateful. Truly enjoyed my stay here. Thank you.
