"Superb in cleanliness and service. Thank you for granting out request. We are over satisfied with everything. We visited the hotel for many times already. And we will definetely come back. More power"
"The overall environment of the room is OK, there is a bathtub, the room is very warm, and there is a CU convenience store downstairs. The hotel is located in the city center, about 10-15 minutes walk from Uncheon subway station (운천역), and next to the 5.18 Memorial Park. The biggest problem is that the bed sheets and quilt covers are not cleaned properly. After opening them, I found a lot of hair stuck to them😣. The waiter changed the room, but the new room still had the same problem😣. The breakfast variety is a bit limited. I don’t know if it is the same here."

"Located in the business district, it's conveniently located for subway access. There are many restaurants and shops nearby, making it fun to explore. It's also great to be able to take a walk through nearby Big Pond and Democracy Park. The room was quite large, so it didn't feel stuffy. The bed, air conditioning, and bathroom were all clean and comfortable. While the hallway was occasionally audible, there was no noise from the next room or between floors. There was a chest of drawers, a long shelf, a table, and two chairs, so I could easily store my luggage and bags and relax. Slippers and a bathrobe were provided, and the bathroom had a nice body wash and shampoo. Best of all, the hot water was excellent, so even without a bathtub, I was able to recover from my fatigue with a hot shower. The shower booth was also quite large. The mechanical parking was a bit of a surprise at first, but there was a call button in the room, so a car was quickly dispatched. The view was from the building, but I also enjoyed the nighttime view of the business district from the window. I was very satisfied with this hotel."
"This is the best hotel during my 2 week stay in South Korea. The location was great as it is 5 mins' walk to Gwangjusongjeong station and near the street where there are grilled short rib patties.
The room was super spacious and came with a massage chair and a jacuzzi bathtub. They even have branded shampoo and conditioner in the room and also provided toner and essence for face. This is so amazing.
There is free self service washing machine and dryer on level 10 too. Service was also great. Check in (2pm) was earlier than other hotels (3pm).
It was really great value for money as the room cost <SGD105 a night. It was just wow."
"It is very close to the subway station, which is considered the center of Gwangju. It is also convenient to eat, drink and go shopping around.
Because it was not time to check in, I temporarily stored my luggage and then went to the place where I used to live~ A heavy snow, an unforgettable New Year's Eve~
It is very convenient to order takeout, which will be delivered to the first floor. The service of the brother and sister at the front desk is also very good~
I will choose this place next time I go to Gwangju~"
"Last time, I accidentally saw this hotel and stayed here. Then I mailed it this time, and they reserved a room I specified for me, which was pretty good. Their breakfast buffet has a rich variety, and their rooms are spacious and bright, with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows. The room is spacious, with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, well, the service is also very good, the windows are also large, and the location of the hotel is also OK!"
"Everything about the room was good except the internet was unreliable. If you are depending on an internet connection, this is something to keep in mind."
"I made a reservation after seeing that they provided a simple breakfast, but when I checked in in the evening without any prior notice, they told me that breakfast would not be provided on the day of Chuseok. Then they made the absurd remark that if I was unhappy with that, they would cancel it now. How could I find a new place to stay if I canceled at that time? My travel plans were ruined, and it remains as an unpleasant memory."
"There is a styler and an air purifier, and the room condition is quite clean and good. It is located in a high-tech commercial area, so it is easily accessible."

SSarah Lois YongA 15-minute bus ride away (depends on traffic) from the Gwangjusongjeong KTX Train station. A hotel with very cheerful and friendly staff! Bright, clean and spacious room with toiletries that smell so good (relaxing tangerine scent). Bed is really comfortable. Good sound-proofing (for light sleepers).
Breakfast is a self-help bar. I was too shy to cook noodles and fry eggs in front of other guests. Gimbap (seaweed rice rolls) was good with my coffee.
Recommendations for food and places of interests were compiled neatly in a folder in the room. I tried the 낙지 (baby octopus) restaurant and visited the Asia Culture Centre. A worthwhile trip!
Aside from Naver Map needed to navigate the location of the hotel from the bus stop, I was quite pleased with everything else.
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.
SStephanie ChewThe hotel is near business district (I think). For breakfast, you need to be at least 30 minutes early otherwise the ahjuma will clear up the food and leave the place on the dot. The room is big and clean too.
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 UserThe nicest people I've ever met. I came too early but was still able to check in. The owners talked a lot with me and we even drank a coffee together. They also helped me with my SIM card. The room was more than enough and the location was good woth a lot of stores around, while still being in a quiet environment. Definitely recommend going here and would love to come back when I'm back in south korea.
GGuest UserThe hotel location is good and the room is very spacious
There is even a table on the sofa
So it is comfortable
The building is a bit old, so it is not new, but it is clean
When I went into the room I stayed in, it smelled a bit of cigarette smoke
But it was okay when I turned on the air conditioner
Breakfast is also delicious for this price!
EEffyOhhWe had booked a deluxe double room for 3 people and were told the day we were arriving that it wasn't possible. Trip contacted us to sort it out and we were ready to pay an extra room and sorti it later. But when we arrived, they surprisingly were very nice about it and didn't mind when they saw ”reservation for 3 people” so we got a nice room for 3 people and they even gave us extra amenities (shampoo, shower gel...)
We also had breakfast for the 3 people (which was also surprising as it said for 2) nothing amazing but fresh fruits and a few other things we didn't eat.
Staff were very very friendly and accommodating so i would recommend and also visit again if I'm going back to gwangju.
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 ;-)
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.
