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 donโ€™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.
