Firstly let me start with the room.
The room is functional, clean, equipped with a fridge and a t.v which had plenty of stations both English and Korean.
We had a little trouble with the air conditioning unit as it switched on and off randomly but apart from that there were no problems.
We travelled as a pair of friends sharing a double bed, the room was small (however this is something I always expect in large cities) but fit our two very large suit cases.
The breakfast had a good variety of cooked items and cereal so there would definitely be something for your taste.
The location is great, not far at all from everything you want to see and do in Seoul so you can easily walk to any of the major sights and shopping places from here. Also Jongno station is just around the corner, from there you can really get anywhere you want if you don’t want to walk or to get to the further away places.
Honestly though the best part about this hotel was the staff. Exceptional front of house who helped us book a tour, answered any questions at all about Korea that we had and would greet us everyday with genuine warmth after our day exploring the city. Fantastic room attendants, the lady on our floor was so wonderful and greeted and talked with us everyday, even though there was a language barrier she was so excited to see us every day, we will miss her a lot.
When one of the staff working at the desk came to help us get in our taxi and waved to us as we left, I had genuine tears in my eyes. 
I will never forget this trip, truly the best staff I have ever met. I will definitely stay here again when I come back to Seoul. Thank you very much.

One of my best hotel experiences

I stayed in this hotel for 5 days. It caters mostly to foreigners and business people. Rooms are rather small, but clean. Location very close to Metro and walking distance to many major tourist sights (palaces, old neighbourhoods, shopping). A bit tough to find at first because it's tucked away on a side street. Breakfast suitable. All in all, good value for location.

Average hotel, clean, great location

i came here together with my family. We stayed in two separate room and the room is not very big because it is the budget choice hotel. In the front door reception is very polite and the lobby is neat and clean. When we went to our room, i think the amenities is soso. The toliet seat is worn and have a bit bad smell. And the bathroom water pressure is not high enough. Since i and my husband stay one more night so we moved to others room in the last day. We felt the environment is better then the original room.
In the other hand, the advantage for this hotel is quite near the metro station and you can walk to the main city by walk around 15 mins and easy to find the restaurant nearby.  And the hotel is provided the normal breakfast everyday which is so convenience.

Budget Choice

Pros and Cons of Doulos Hotel

Let's start with Cons that's not really a deal breaker. 
Coming from the airport via train and subway is a bit of a haul but by no means a painful task especially if you only have one luggage. Use apple map or google map whichever one works once you get out of Jongro-3-ga exit 15. Once you see how close you are to everything you wanna see in Seoul then this will quickly turn into a Pros. 

We booked the standard bed for my daughter and I. The room is small compared to a Marriott but as long as you are organized this won't be an issue. We slowly racked up a lot of goodies we bought and never once we felt like we can't move around the room. Still book the Deluxe rooms. It was sold out when I booked so I got this room and it was a bargain!

Breakfast is served from 7:00 to10:00. I wish they vary some of the food choices daily but overall it was very decent. You are given vouchers for your entire stay and you drop in a clear box by the door of the breakfast floor ( B2) Croissants, some puffy round bread that's my total favorite, cream soup, salad, boiled egg, dumplings, rice, seaweed soup, mini dessert square cakes, 2 kinds of cereals, orange juice, milk, and hot beverage ---all self-serve.  The ahjumma that is in charge is nice. 

For the total Pros:

Did I say you're near a lot of things?  Especially once you learn Line 1 subway then you can go and connect wherever. 

We have them make up our room daily. Totally awesome. They give 2 water bottles daily and everything we used in the bathroom toiletries. Which includes: comb, cotton, shower cap, toothbrush/toothpaste, lotion, toner, soap, shampoo, conditioner, body soap gel. Anything you use gets replaced -no skimping on the toiletries in this hotel. Even some nice resorts I've been in don't replace things daily so this was a surprise to me.

There is a laundry room when you don't wanna pack stinky clothes you wore during the trip. It costs 3x 500 won to wash.

There is a 7-11 store outside the hotel for whatever you need at anytime of the day/night and totally safe.

The front desk staff  are all very nice and visible never once did we feel that coming and going in this hotel was unsafe. 

Hurry and book Doulos Hotel now! 😊👍🏼

Book It!

We stayed here for 4 nights. The desk staff were polite, and our room was clean and practical, if a little compact. Amenities were limited. The breakfast (which we didn't realise was included in the already very decent price) was lovely with a great choice of Korean and Western options.

The hotel is in a great location: on one side is a major subway station, and on the other side within walking distance is pretty Cheonggyecheon stream and Myeongdong, the shopping district (which does great street food).

One criticism is that it's quite hard to find; exit Jongno 3 ga station via Exit 15 to avoid wandering around in completely the wrong area!

Overall very pleased with the value for money of this hotel.
