Doulos Hotel (Seoul, South Korea)

With easy access to the metro (and airport bus), a mere 15-minute walk to Myeongdong, and street food and restaurants all around; it's easy to see why so many guests have found this hotel's central location so agreeable.

The vast majority of guests who've stayed at this hotel have been bowled over by the highly proactive and ever-engaging attitude of the friendly guys and gals on the reception desk.

If you're in any way obsessive about cleanliness then chances are you'll love this hotel. Numerous visitors have noted that the interiors here, from the accommodations and the hallways to the lobby and the restaurant are all absolutely spotless.

Like most other urban business hotels in this part of the world, the guest rooms here are exceedingly small by Western standards. Unsurprisingly, very few visitors appreciated the fact that they had no drawers, wardrobe or cupboard to store their belongings in.

Because this hotel is tucked away down a back street in an area where street names are few and far between, finding it can be quite a challenge. GPS is definitely the way forward here, especially for individuals who haven't visited Seoul before.

A great many guests have observed that you need to get down to the restaurant quite early if you want to get the most out of the free breakfast. The later it gets, the more food options run out, and the kitchen staff here don't seem to worry about refilling them.
