Accommodation date 2023.7.25~27.First of all, it is good value for money and the facilities are neatly and well maintained. Coffee pot, mini refrigerator and air conditioner work well.Public transportation is a bit far, but it's within a 10-minute walk. So that's only a slight deduction. Still, it is not a big deductible as it is a good location for access to the terminal and other areas.I am not affected by noise when I sleep. Even though I went to bed around 4 a.m. on SaturdayI couldn't hear anything.However, the reason why I recommend this accommodation is because of the delicious breakfast.The difference is that there seem to be other alternative places, but it seems difficult to find a breakfast that tastes better than a regular restaurant. Is this an average taste because it’s from the South?Anyway, if I come to Gwangju again, I will consider staying here first.

The highlight of this hotel is the breakfast!! The best experience in Gwangju is a simple, delicious, and friendly meal prepared by a grandmother. This old lady chef is making a living at this hotel. After breakfast, I suddenly thought that the hotel felt like a 5-star hotel! Even though my wife praised me so much, I didn't expect much... If I come to Gwangju in the future, I will definitely stay at this hotel... But make sure to check if the grandmother is there before making a reservation!!

Very well equipped rooms, with everything you need and more. Very nice design, comfortable mattresses and pillows with 2 heights to choose from. Accessories such as a bathrobe, very good body and face creams, just toothpaste, hair brush...The breakfast, logically, is typical exquisite Korean, very varied and they change the menu every day.The hotel staff is very friendly, as is everyone in Korea, and willing to help.The only downside is that the underfloor heating was not regulated and it was very hot inside the room. I slept every night with the window wide open when it was cold.

The room condition is very poor compared to the price. I think you need to do a facility inspection.
