The Prima Hotel Jongno

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.

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.

The location is superb

Too many sensor lights in the room which can be annoying if you are sensitive to any sort of light in a darkened room

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.

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.
