The breakfast offer was excellent, although I couldn't figure out how to use the induction stove so I wasn't able to take advantage of the eggs. Two laundry machines and a dryer, with detergent supplied, was fantastic. I was there for a week, so used these machines a couple of times, very handy and appreciated. Staff were helpful when I needed a taxi. Convenience stores only a short walk away. Starbucks is around the corner.
I have trouble getting in and out of a tub, so a walk-in shower would be better. English language instructions for the induction cook-top and the laundry machines would be useful.

Great value for price! Breakfast was simple but good: eggs, bread, cereal, juice and coffee. Subway station is nearby, easy check-in and check-out. Good facilities, water and microwave in the hallway and free laundry.
The pillows were quite hard. The windows are pretty thin, so some noise and cold came in from there. Also even though the hotel is non-smoking, there was someone smoking probably in the room next to us and the smell came to our room.

For a motel it was very good! It was cheap and it is noticeable why but it is a perfect stay for a couple of days. The room is very clean and broad. You have everything you need there and they provide the basic necessities. There was also breakfast! don't expect one as in a hotel but for me I was just happy to have something to eat before my day.
I didn't really liked that there was no one at the counter. Only when I arrived to let me check in. Afterwards there was nobody to be seen. It didn't bother me that much but sometimes I just felt like I didn't had a place to go to if I had a question

It is located in the Sangmu district with plenty of shopping and entertainment nearby. Walking distance to numerous restaurants and cafes. They provide breakfast but I opted for local food instead. It is quiet and close to the Uncheon subway station as well as many bus routes and the Uncheon reservoir which is a gorgeous place to go for a walk and see nature in the middle of the city.
The bathroom was not very clean. It needs a good spray down with bleach.

Everything went well with my stay at Athene Motel. Its near the May 18 Memorial Park and Uncheon Reservoir, there are 2 bus stops near and 1 train station that makes it accessible. The room is clean and spacious for one person. The hosts are kind, they let me store my luggage even after check out and come back for it. The free breakfast is basic but good. Recommended when you go to Gwangju.
Well lighted corridors but over all its okay.

Good value. Even though the hotel entrance was modest, the inside was modern and clean. The room was comfortable and decent size. Hotel staff kindly lent me a USB charger because I left mine at home. They gave a complimentary full toiletries kit on arrival in addition to the soaps already in the room. Breakfast was simple and "OK", not many places give any breakfast.

The facilities were amazing, food was provided for breakfast, instant coffee by the truckloads and a washing machine and dryer to be used for free. This is one of the best value accommodations I have stayed in, in South Korea
I can’t think of anything major that I didn’t like

The price is very good. You get breakfast, free laundry. The bed can warm itself up. I didn’t use the wi-fi because it was too slow. But a great place to stay at. It is a bit on the old side, but then again it has a good price.

It was a great hotel, with a nice, clean breakfast area and laundry facilities. They replaced our water bottles and towels each day. Very happy with the space.
A few things in our room weren't perfectly clean (found a few hairs and a sticky spot in the floor).

Room was spacious, convenient location to cafes, resturants and Uncheon station. My room was cleaned everyday which was amazing.
Didn’t get a proper bath towel. Only had small hand towels.
