Excellent value

This hotel represents excellent value for money. The room was spotless and very spacious. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was provided and because we found the Korean food a challenge at that time of day the lovely lady cooked up up fresh eggs on toast. Use of the washing machine was such a help

Not for the fastidious

S Hotel is not really a place for anything but a quick stay. It's clean & the room is spacious, but it seems to be a place for brief trysts rather than legit travellers. Staff were friendly and helped fix a light switch problem immediately. Wifi was good. There is no reading lamp, which is a nuisance. The 'breakfast' is a joke - a dingy, deserted room with some unappetising bits & pieces. There are plenty of places to eat nearby, but you have to be a fairly pragmatic sort of traveller - the ambience is not appealing. I know my spouse would've been horrified, but to be fair it gives you the basics for a very economical price.

A+ Hotel

This is easily an amazing hotel, very under-rated. The rooms are so spacious and comfortable, very clean. The location is stellar, it is exactly where you want to be in Gwangju. The service is delightful and the staff is very friendly

Love Motel plus

This was a lot better than I expected. It had all the good points of a love motel (pc in the room, stocked mini fridge, good price) and some of the nicer points of a regular hotel (nice breakfast, extremely courteous and well prepared staff, well maintained facility). Would definitely recommend/visit again.

Great but Little Towels!

This hotel is a fantastic location and is very good except that the rooms don't come with large bath towels and one has to dry oneself with a two very small ones.

安めで地下鉄の駅から近く交通の便が良さそうなので利用させていただきました。 部屋の外鍵が閉まらなかったのですが、翌日には部屋を交換して下さりました。 部屋は大きく、アメニティは全て揃っています。また、朝食に韓国家庭料理のバイキングがあったのが非常に嬉しかったです。 スタッフの方は日本語はできませんが、英語はある程度通じるはずです（私は韓国語でやり取りしていました）。とても親切に対応して下さりました。
