The hotel is central and a lot of activities can easily be visited by walking. We would recommend The Prime Hotel and will book again should we visit Seoul again.

My usual hotel was fully booked so i stayed here based on the reviews i read The property is new and very clean. The room size I had was adequate for me..It was also very clean and smelled nice. The beddings were clean, soft and comfortable. The toilet design was practical and they provided a lot of towels and toiletries like dental kits soaps and even a comb. I loved the location as it is near airport bus stops and 2 major stations, dongdaemun and DDP. It is near the dongdaemun shoppinng mecca which stays open until 5AM. Just outside the property there are stalls which sell even cheaper items like clothes and cosmetics and a 24hr kyochon branch. It is also a few steps away from Cheonggyecheon Stream, Heunginjimun, and Seoul Walking Trail if you like to hike. There were a lot of cherry blossoms when i was there The property even offered unlimited coffee, tea and the famous hanriver ramyeon plus a washer and dryer But what really stood out for me was the excellent customer service . From the time I reserved,, the property promptly replied to my questions and sent detailed directions from Incheon airport. Everytime i saw them they were always cleaning the place and helping clients.. I initially requested for a lower floor room but only 5f was available. I stayed there for a few hours but was immediately transferred to the 2f. The property had no lift but it was not a problem because there were always staff members who will help with your things . I came beyond their regular work hours but somebody was waiting to assist me . He also kindly made ramyeon for me before i went out to explore I will definitely recommend this place to my family and friends and stay here next time I'm in Seoul.

Very spacious, amazing beds (surprisingly nice bedding) and it smells really nice. Could even storage my luggage here for 2 nights. Also, the lady (owner?) who was around was super friendly (also helping me carry my big bags). The location is perfect and so is the big roof-terrace! 10/10, thank you so much <3!

    It was a very good deal for a budget traveller considering the location, it's perfect and easy access to almost everywhere and everything. For an Asian like me, the room's size was just enough. Special thanks to the staff who let me checked in early coz I wasn't feeling well. Will stay here again if I'm traveling solo to Seoul again. :)

    Money for value a great deal. Location is hard to beat as it's in Myeongdong's heart and connects to many tourist sights even in walking distance, has plenty of bus and metro connection in proximity too. A great start into Seoul on a budget. It was clean and tidy. Free drinking water in the kitchen and other amenities.
