The staff was friendly and helpful. Light breakfast was plentiful but not varied. The laundry facility was very much appreciated. The location was convenient to public transit. Zero storage in the room so could not unpack.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The staff are magnificent but there is not a lot to do around the Hotel. Unless you have a reason to visit Gwangju I don’t see the point of going there. Beds were hard with small pillows and towels were tiny (as big as a hand towel). Breakfast was toast or cereal with juice or coffee so not much variety.

방은 생각보다 넓고 좋았는데... 3인으로 연박예약해도 방 자체가 기본2인방이라 그런지 수건은 계속 2인으로 준비해주셔서 리셉션에서 매번 1인 추가 수건을 요청해야 하는 불편함이 있습니다. 또, 방 안에 화장대나 거울같은게 하나도 없어서 너무 불편해요

전반적인 룸 컨디션과 상태는 좋았습니다. 다만 모텔을 개조한 것 같은 느낌, 그래서 전반적으로 모텔에서 나는 싸구려 향과 분위기가 풍기는 점은 별로였습니다. 주변 환경도 시끄럽고 저속했습니다.
