"The accommodation was clean and the interior was remodeled well, so it was neat and pretty. If the standard of hotels in the country, no, the whole world, is this good, I don't think I have to worry about traveling. The owner is kind and the hotel feels well-maintained. It was also nice that there was a coffee machine in the lobby. If you close the water drain in the bathroom sink, you can stop smelling the old pipes. Even without that, the smell doesn't enter the room. The location was good for going to Dongmyeong-dong and by ACC bus or taxi, and there was a bus to the 518 Democracy Cemetery right away, and anyway, it was right in front of Gwangju Station, so transportation was good. I think I'll stay here next time I come to Gwangju. I stayed for several nights, but they gave me plenty of water and towels, and maybe because there weren't many people, they upgraded my room, which I was very grateful for. It's a quiet and clean hotel."
"clean and no frill business hotel, but nothing to write home about. crammed lobby with lots of group tourists. high rise building, meaning long wait for the elevator. the location was kinda far from the KTX station (12min cab ride) and also far from the subway station as a walking distance. convenient as the entire area is filled with bars, restaurants and etc etc. expectation was high as Trip.com said no.1 among the 4 stars, it really was a merely 3 star standard."
"I guess I had high expectations because it was a 4-star hotel ㅋㅋㅋ
The parking lot is small, so they are operating a tower parking lot
The room structure is unique
It's just like a business room
Since you have to wear shoes to enter, the floor of the room is so dirty
It feels like it wasn't cleaned properly
The location is perfect"
"It can't be located better or cleaner than this... If you're going to Gwangju Sangmu District, don't hesitate and go! You'll be able to enjoy luxury!"
"Great hotel. Great service. Actually clean and without that much wear and tear. Wi-Fi worked great. It’s super close to the subway station and high speed rail. Convenience store is outside the hotel around the corner. View wasn’t that great but it wasn’t a priority for me.
The jacuzzi shower head is like a jet engine. Very satisfied."
"The hotel was clean and the view outside was pretty and nice!
It was good for the price and there were not many places to eat nearby, but it was nice to have a restaurant that can be eaten early in the morning."
"It was clean and comfortable, and I had a great time. It felt a little dated, but I had no issues staying there. Parking was also convenient because I registered at check-in, so I could use the kiosk to process my parking if I arrived late."
"- The staff in the lobby were very accommodating.
- The accommodations were spacious, clean, and comfortable.
- The breakfast was neither overly generous nor lacking in variety, quantity, or taste; it was just right.
- The surrounding area was full of motels and bars, so I thought this might be a consideration for solo travelers.
- One thing that was disappointing was that check-out was at 11:00, but around 10:30, as I was getting ready to leave, they called my room asking when I would be checking out. I told them I was leaving soon, but I thought they'd misunderstood the check-out time, so I asked if check-out was 11:00. They didn't answer, just said, ”Okay, I understand,” and hung up. I think they were the cleaning staff, but this was the first time they'd asked this question over the phone, rather than through the system. I was very satisfied with my stay, but it ended on a bad note. Other than that, everything else was great."
"the room and facilities inside are clean and tidy, specially toilet and fridge, very impressive.
front desk was polite and helpful, communicable with English, overall a pleasant stay."
"Very satisfactory travel and accommodation experience in Gwangju, the room is large, the functional areas of the bathroom are reasonably divided, and the bathtub is very good. It is very convenient to travel and eat around the hotel, and the breakfast in the hotel is also good."

Amazing
AAnonymous Usersuuuuuper great! we booked for concert at university, so the hotel is very close to the venue and there’re sooo many snacks and drinks spared at snack bar, including ramyeon, ice, juice, and also printing devices! So cool. If there’s any chance going to Gwangju again, will rebook this place!
NNAMYONGConvenient location, clean environment, comfortable bed, well-equipped lodging amenities...and a clean and delicious breakfast gave us a very high level of satisfaction compared to the price.
Next time I come to Gwangju on a business trip, I definitely want to re-book again. I highly recommend it!!!
GGuest UserPros
Excellent Location: The hotel is conveniently located near the metro line, making it easy to access the airport and main train station.
Soundproofing: The soundproofing is impressive, allowing for a restful night’s sleep without disturbances from outside noise.
Great Dining Options: There are plenty of good food options nearby, adding to the overall experience.
Cons
Bright Control Panel Lights: The orange light from the temperature control panel is excessively bright at night. Additionally, the centralized light control panel emits a very bright blue light. Even after turning off the main lights, these panels create a glowing ambiance that can be quite annoying. In Japan, similar panels allow users to turn off the lights on the control itself, which would be an improvement here.
Conclusion
Overall, while the location, soundproofing, and dining options are excellent, the overly bright control panel lights detract from an otherwise enjoyable stay. I hope the management considers making adjustments to enhance guest comfort.
KKliTorThere were 15 storeys in our hotel. Our room was on the second floor. It was quite big. There was one double bed, two single beds, a bathroom and a balcony in it. The view from the balcony was unforgettable – serene infinite sea and lush greenery.
There was a big restaurant in our hotel. We had our breakfast there. The food at the restaurant was delicious and varied.
There were two large swimming pools in the hotel. One swimming pool was only for adults, however, the other swimming pool was for everyone. By the swimming pools there were bars where we could get snacks and ice-cream. There was also a gym with a sauna, a small tennis court and a gift shop in our hotel.
I really liked our holiday in Malta and I hope that one day we will go back there!
GGuest UserIt is a motel. It clean enoug but the rooms are a bit aged with some condition issues. Amenities provided could be better for Korean standard. Also I had very shed time having my room in a couple comfortable temperature. My main issue was thay very strong smell of strawberry air freshener what was overpowering and all over the place. The room was very big tje ne comfortable and the tv very nice.
GGuest UserThe room I initially booked was cheap, but when I got there, it was dark and I thought it was a bit too much, so I asked to be changed to a brighter room the next day. It cost me 30,000 won more per night, but it was spacious, bright, and had a styler, so I'm glad I got the change.
AAnonymous UserWe arrived and our reservation had not been registered, so our room was not ready. The lady who received us was very friendly, and suggested that we would go for dinner, while the room would be prepared, and so we did.
The room is quite small but nice, the shower was coming out of the sink?!? Not really practical/nice. For breakfast, you have to wash your own dishes, cups and cutlery at the end ;-)
Rrrtt31Located near Chonnam University. There's an ensuite bathroom, a working TV and even a heated blanket, so it was a comfortable stay during winter. The bathroom is small so everything will get wet when you take a shower, but it wasn't an issue for me.
Very helpful host, they even gave me a SIM card with data and Korean number after knowing I was staying in Korea for a month.
Overall a pleasant stay in Gwangju. I personally feel location is also good with CU right outside and easy connection with buses around.
GGuest UserAlthough it was a little old, it was overall a satisfactory accommodation. Mano is a place with motels and hotels nearby, and there are many restaurants, so it is a good location.
