Top Changdeokgung Palace Hotel Reviews

The Prima Hotel Jongno Insadong

10/10 Excellent

"This is a Fantastic hotel. We really enjoyed our second stay and will book it again next time. The customer service is excellent, My daughter uses a Wheelchair and I contacted them prior to our visit and they made sure that we were upgraded to the most accessible room at no additional cost. They are more than happy to organise transport and book tours for guests. The hotel itself is extremely Clean and Comfortable. Soft and Luxurious beds and Black out Curtains for a good nights sleep. The bathroom has very good quality toiletries. It is a great location, 5 minutes walk to Insadong and the Palaces. 20 minutes to Myeongdong and Gwangwang Markets. There are some amazing restaurants close by. Buses are at the front door and Auguk and Jonggak Stations are nearby. I would highly recommend this hotel."
