[2025 Seoul Hotels] Travel Guide for The Prima Jongno (Updated Oct)

#SeoulHotel . . . The Prima Hotel Jongno 46 Post Office Road, Jongno-gu, Seoul The Prima Hotel Jongno, which underwent a complete renovation in 2024, has become a hot topic among frequent visitors to Korea! I hadn't stayed at the hotel before the renovation, but I was curious to see what it would be like afterward, so I decided to stay! It's easily accessible from Jongno, Insadong, and Anguk, so I recommend it for those traveling mainly in these areas. ◎ It's also close to the station, about 4-5 minutes from the station. ◎ The hotel is a typical business hotel! While it's clean and well-maintained, the rooms are quite small, and not only the rooms but also the bathrooms are quite cramped, so be careful!⚡️ I stayed here for one night with three people, but it felt a little cramped for three people, so it seems best for two people! If you're happy just to sleep, I'd recommend this hotel, especially considering its cleanliness. The breakfast menu is quite simple, so I think it's perfect for those looking for a quick and easy meal. I hope this helps! #Korea #Seoul #CityHall #HotelGracerySeoul #Jongno #Insadong #Anguk

A nomad who works and rests while going to many hotels. It is located in the city center, so it is easily accessible and has good value for money. The breakfast is not buffet style, but it is served like a buffet, so I am very satisfied. I would like to visit again next time. I open the window in the morning and feel the cool breeze. The air is not that great because it is in the city, but it feels refreshing.

The location is in the city center and it is easy to get to anywhere. The facilities are a bit old... It seems like it needs a little renovation.. But the hotel doesn't smell and it's good. I made a reservation with a package that includes breakfast and had a good rest.

#SeoulTrip #Solo #Hotel #HotelPrimaSeoul Even when traveling as a couple, you want to be able to relax and unwind at night! So, we often get separate rooms. The price isn't much different whether we share a room or separate rooms. The neighborhood is safe, the bus stop is nearby, and the subway station isn't too far away. The room was clean, and although there wasn't a bathtub, I was able to stay comfortably without flooding the bathroom with a shower. Anguk is also within walking distance, so I walked to the London Bagel Museum in Anguk in the morning before it opened and didn't have to wait in line! It's also very convenient, with a direct bus ride to Seoul Station. 😊 If you're planning on visiting Insadong or Anguk, this hotel is highly recommended.
