Breakfast was a choice between bread and butter and Korean fare. Most side dishes are the same daily buy they change up the stew and soups every day. It's quite filling and the dining room lady is very nice. The bathroom is also big and comfortable. We just didn't like the whole door is not frosted, so if you're traveling with friends, you have to be mindful or cover it so you won't be seen.

The second floor area has a smell, we think because the dining room is located there. But other than that, the place is clean.

This hotel far exceeded my expectations. After a 15-minute bus ride from the bus station and a 5-10 minute walk on foot, you're welcomed with an easy and friendly check-in. The room is great and cleaned every day! The bed is comfy (with an electric warmer), there's moisturisers and a dressing gown, the bathroom is spacious. You can easily walk into Gwangju centre (10 minutes) or to the bus stop for further destinations. There's a 24-hour laundrette just around the corner. Breakfast is simply fantastic. It's a full Korean buffet with local side dishes, a variety of mains, stews and soups. The woman who prepares breakfast is very sweet and encouraging - thank you! Excellent value for money, make sure you stay here!

They provided a high quality breakfast!!! I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to have a delicious homemade breakfast!!! And the chef was so friendly that I had a pleasant breakfast with her comfort and service!!!

I don't know if it's a smoke free building or a building where smoking is allowed in some rooms, but there was a slight smell of cigarettes in the hallway! The room was totally fresh and nice!!! I'm sensitive to the smell of cigarettes, so I'm posting about it!!! Those who are not sensitive to the smell of cigarettes will be completely fine!!!

Quite good location - walking distance from the metro and buses, as well as the main street and ACC Room was tidy and well equipped (kettle, tv, charger, cleaning supplies, fridge, bottled water), bathroom was clean. Breakfast was ok (the limited one on Monday was a bit odd)

AC was working a bit odd. The room was rather small and cramped. There was no wardrobe to put the clothes away. Monday breakfast (limited version) was in fact instant noodles (very spicy), fortunately there were toasts with jam available.

The staff was amazing, especially the man who was in the reseption when I arrived and left - he was very kind! Also the room had so many amenities I couldn't even dream of! A hair dryer is basic, but even a hair straightener, 3 hair brushes, face cream in the fridge so it's nice and cool when putting it to your face - who even thinks that, such a great service! Toothbrushes, facial cleansers, coffee and tea, satin robes (they were my favorite!), even a multi-head phone charger and I guess mattress heater (didn't need to use it), and so many more I'll forget to mention. Air conditioner, television and lights worked with the same remote, so nice to use. Breakfast was Korean breakfast which I like and it was delicious and the chef lady was very sweet. I was so pleasantly surprised, thank you!! 너무 감사합니다~!!

The LG styler closet in my suite was super helpful since we had BBQ almost every night. The water was fast and hot enough. The location was great. The staff was friendly even though he only spoke limited English.

The breakfast was more or less the same every day. The room is functional, but the design is cold. The bed is a bit too hard for me. Most of the signs are only in Korean.

- Large room - Huge, modern bathroom - Friendly, English speaking staff - Excellent WiFi. Probably the best WiFi I’ve ever had in a hotel/hostel. - Lots of useful things provided with the room (toothbrush, comb, razors, cotton buds, etc) - Fantastic breakfast included in the price

- Very minor thing, but some areas of the main bedroom looked like they were starting to show some wear and tear (window, edge of desk, etc) - Other than that can’t think of any negatives. I’d definitely stay here again if I was in town

The location was convenient to the shopping and restaurant area. It was also close to the river and the 'penguin village'. The breakfast was sufficient (fried rice, cereal, toast and jam). The menu was reduced due to Seollnal - there was a notice in the elevator with this information. It appeared there would normally have been a soup as well and maybe other dishes.

The breakfast room was small and quite crowded - it was not the room shown in the hotel photo - but we didn't have to wait to get a seat and I didn't notice anyone else waiting. It was less crowded the second morning - maybe because we went down a bit earlier?

The location is very good. A lot of restaurants near by. The metro is also 7 min by walk. The room was quite big. The bed was huge. Looks really like on the picture. I had a room with a check out at 1 pm, which was awesome.

No breakfast on mondays! But there are nice coffee places around. Get any translation app because every information is just in korean. Like how to connect to netflix and so on.

The room was large and comfortable. The hotel had lots of amenities and a good breakfast. The location is very convenient to lots of restaurants, shops and points of interest.

Only a small issue but it did initially make us feel a little uncomfortable. The rooms have double pane windows, the inside pane is mirrored and does not lock so we could not see through. Thankfully we checked the outside window as this was left open and was quite difficult to close, the window led out onto a large ledge outside.
