Guest Reviews
- Kwon (8/5): 광주 중심가 가성비호텔 - 지하주차장 편리하게 이용할 수 있어 좋았어요.
위치도 광주 번화가라 맛집, 쇼핑 등 즐겁게 여행할 수 있었어요 시설은 조금 낡은 느낌이 보편적으로는 마이너스 포인트겠지만 전 괜찮았어요
- Sabine (8/5): - Die Unterkunft liegt mitten in der Shoppingstraße, es war aber trotzdem sehr ruhig. Das Zimmer war sehr groß und sauber Für den PKW gibt es eine Garage. Alles sehr unkompliziert. Das ganze Hotel ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen Als wir eincheckten, war im Bad eine riesige tote Kakerlake. Ich habe aber keine weiteren gesehen. Deckenlicht hat keinen eigenen Schalter, daher muss man die Zimmerkarte nachts heraus nehmen und hat dadurch die ganze Nacht kein Licht und keinen Strom mehr, um die Mobilgeräte zu laden. Kein Drama, aber etwas unpraktisch.
- Cassandra (7/5): -
- Chiara (9/5): comfortable location - the property is in a really central location, and many of the city’s main attractions are within walk distance. the room was really big and comfortable.
- Josette (8/5): Hôtel très bien situé, grande chambre confortable - Hôtel très bien situé, grande chambre confortable, l'hôte nous a aidées à trouver un taxi pour le départ
- Arne (6/5): - Great location and price. New towels provided every day. There was an empty condom wrapper in the nightstand when I checked in. The mattress was very cheap and uncomfortable. The fridge was quite loud and occasionally the light at the door would turn on for no reason.

- KOJI (8/5): - 市の中心部で、この広さと設備で、この値段は
格安という気がします。また、使いたい。 特別なし。
- Alexander (7/5): Günstig und gut gelegen - Gute Lage an der Einkaufszone, geräumiges Zimmer, kostenloses Parken in der Tiefgarage Kein Lichtschalter für das Schlafzimmer vorhanden, so dass man die Hotelkarte nachts rausnehmen musste. Dadurch allerdings kein Strom fürs Aufladen der Smartphones
- Anna (7/5): Nice location - The hotel is in the middle of the shopping streets. 3min walking to the bus stop. The hotel itself was outdated. There is also an elevator available. No laundry possible.
- Heino (9/5): - Schönes großes Zimmer und Bad sowie täglicher Zimmerservice. Freundliches Personal.
- Olenka (10/5): It was a comfortable and pleasant stay. - The room was spacious and very clean. It was stocked daily with all the necessary hygiene products, as well as water and coffee. The staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful.
- 惠如 (8/5): -
- Yohann (10/5): -
- 胤东 (9/5): Overall very satisfying and comfortable. - Excellent location, where you can enjoy streets with restaurants, games centers and anime shops.
I went there on Jan. The room temperature is self-controlled, always warm enough and you can basically wear nothing, while outside is below 0 degree. The floor is extremely clean, and the whole room is very tidy. The kettle is not very clean, apparently not often used.
The bed is a bit hard.
- jolie (6/5): - Location was right in the middle of the shopping streets. Pretty good sound proofing Not really that clean? But bearable
- Jodache (8/5): - Location was perfect!

- 노는게 젤조아 (4/5): - 위치 에어컨을 객실에서 작동시킬수 없도록 해놔서 프론트에 연락해야만 했음. 끌때도 꺼달라고 연락해야만 했음 ^^;;;;; 오래된 시설이라 시설노후는 알고있었고 다만 위치가 좋아서 2번째 숙박이었는데 다음엔 안갈거 같음.
- Guustaaf (9/5): - In de gezelligste (levendige) buurt van Gwangju. Vooral 's avonds gezellig druk. In de kamer hoor ik niets.
Starbucks zowat aan de overkant. Het licht in de kamer kreeg ik niet uit. Alleen door het sleutelkasrtje eruit te halen.
- Christian (9/5): -
- MOFAN (10/5): 值得推薦 - 位置佳 價格合理 床舒適 None
- Paulina (10/5): -
- Sandra (6/5): - Ubicación céntrica, fácil de encontrar y parking Las camas eran incómodas, para 2 noches tampoco nos importó
- Ariadne (8/5): -
- Sabrina (8/5): -
- Candice (9/5): Bien placé, très pratique - Hôtel très bien situé et pratique pour visiter les environs.
Calme, les chambres sont grandes et fonctionnelles .
L’ensemble est vieillissant mais ça va.
Le personnel est à l’écoute et essaye que le séjour se passe au mieux. Ras
- OH (6/5): - On the downtown.
- boyoung (8/5): -
- Komajda (9/5): - Idéalement situé. Difficile à trouver.
- Silke (5/5): - Lage und Ausstattung top, Preis unschlagbar, Personal sehr freundlich Wir hatten 2 Zimmer. Ein Zimmer war sehr sauber und da war alles prima.
Bei dem zweiten Zimmer war anscheinend das Bad nicht gesäubert. Es lagen ganze Haarbüschel in der Dusche und es liefen 3-4 kleine Käfer rum.
Leider haben wir es erst spät abends bei der Rückkehr bemerkt und konnten nicht mehr reklamieren.
- jae hun (2/5): - It was so bad
- Marianna (9/5): Convenient and comfy hotel - Great location with buses and the metro close. Good eateries and shops are around. Safe even at night time.
The room is spacious and clean with comfy bed. There are 2 lifts so it’s quite quick to move around.
Soundproofing is perfect, quiet at night although the hotel's location is busy.
You can leave your luggage at reception after check-out.
Staff was friendly and helpful, most of them didn't speak English but we used the translator app so everything was OK. There's nothing really.
- Mary (9/5): Easy walk to local station - Exceptionally clean and tidy, well set up, comfortable and very nice host. Especially the host lady who helped by talking to the police about my "lost" phone, ( dropped at hotel entrance), life saver, really awesome 😄👍❗
- munsuk (6/5): 완전 도심에 위치해 있어서 장단점 있어요 - 1. 세면대 온수가 고장나서 찬 물만 나와요 양치할 때 불편함이 컸습니다
2. 컴퓨터 없어요
3. 상가 건물의 5, 6층이 숙박 시설이라서 운전할 때 초보는 신경 많이 쓰여요(행인들 엄청 많고 주차 공간 협소)
4. 정수기 없고 500밀리 물병 3개 제공합니다
5. 침대 매트리스 꿀렁꿀렁합니다
6. 조금만 걸어가면 편의점 있어서 편해요
- Tea (9/5): Superb - Location was great! Middle of downtown, in a busy street. Regulating the shower temperature was a bit of a hassle.
- Marit (8/5): Very good -
- Julia (8/5): Very good - Good location, the room was clean and spacious. The beds were not comfortable.
- Kratika (9/5): Superb -
- Verified traveler (8/5): - 넓은 룸에서 있는 동안 편히 잘 있었네요.
- Hannah (10/5): Nice & friendly staff, had a great time, thank you! - Really easy to find & nice location - very close to lots of shops & restaurants. The room was huge, very clean & had clean towels, toiletries, coffee & water in the fridge. Great size & very comfortable bed. Check-in was super easy & friendly.
- Yasuhiro (10/5): - 何よりも立地が最高です。賑やかな街のど真ん中にある感じ。設備等は新しくはないかもしれませんが、使っていて特に不満はなかったです。2泊しましたが、快適に過ごすことができました。コスパの良いホテルだと思いました。
- Sayana (10/5): Good stay - The AC was great in this hot summer I heard some noise at night. Maybe it was a night club. But I had earplugs and could sleep well
- Loan (8/5): The room was very nice and spacious. I had everything I needed in the room and it was comfortable. - The location was great. Very close to convenience stores and shopping areas if you wanted to pop out for some easy quick food or shopping.
- Faith (9/5): perfect location for ACC and shopping - the location is perfect and we received fresh towels and toiletries every day! amazing deal the only issue was that the toilet would get stuck flushing/refilling water in the tank but we were able to fix it ourselves when it happened - not a big deal
- shu mei (8/5): - decent hotel at a prime area.
- Luca (9/5): Superb -
- JONGTAE (10/5): - 접근성 좋고 친철하고 시설 가성비 좋아요
- Jaapie (9/5): Superb -
- Jose Luis (8/5): - Nice place in a convenient location.
- Toby (6/5): - Very old place. Shower nozzle too weak to relax after a long day's travel
- Lívia (8/5): Totally recommend this place! - Great location! In the heart of the street food and restaurant area, super close to Asia Culture Center. Although in a super busy street, our room was totally silent.
Staff was kind and place was very clean. Bathing always made the bathroom totally wet, as there was no separation between the shower and the rest of the bathroom. Also a microwave in the room would be very much appreciated so we could heat our leftovers from all the amazing restaurants around.
- ? (6/5): - となり部屋の会話がうるさかつた。
- Cik (9/5): Good Stay - Nearby tourist attraction in the city. Easy to take bus and/or subway
- Katy (10/5): Exceptional - fantastic location, comfortable rooms, clean, nice staff i can’t really think of anything that i didn’t like specifically. it was a really nice stay!
- Lucy (10/5): super affordable and convenient stay in the middle of Gwangju. would highly recommend - I booked this hotel as I was coming to Gwangju for the buskers world cup and wanted somewhere affordable and convenient to stay. It was smack in the middle of all the hustle and bustle, opposite a starbucks and lots of food places and shopping around. The room got cleaned every single day, if anything to an excessive point with fresh towels and water restocked every single day. The only issue I noticed was the smell of smoking when I first entered the room and also the fire alarm had been taken disabled which was a bit of a worry.
- N J (10/5): - 광주에방문때면이용하고있으니집같아서편합니다
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The room is located in office building floors. The room is clean, but the website photos seems little different from actual looking. It's economic choice to stay for a short trip.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - 위치 좋고 저렴하지만 위생 면에서 부족합니다
- HEEYEON (4/5): - 위치 좋고 저렴하지만 위생 면에서 부족합니다
- Museeva (10/5): Exceptional - Comfortable room. Very caring staff
- Oguzcan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Inesebabre (10/5): Exceptional -
- SU MIN (10/5): 매우만족 - 위치, 청결, 시설, 접근성 다 아주아주 좋네요
약간 낡긴 했지만 그래도 쾌적하고 깨끗합니다!
다음에 광주 또 여행와도 여기 묵을거에요
- Mibandera (10/5): Exceptional -
- Inesebabre (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mou (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jamie (8/5): - Building located in heart of downtown. You can take metro from airport and short walk.
The front desk is on 4th floor, you hit 'F' button to check-in. There is no '4' on the elevator buttons.
Shopping and food within walking distance.
Good place for price.
- KARWEI (8/5): - Staff is helpful and the room inside was remodeled. However, the corridor is so dark and old.
- Leigh (8/5): Very good -
- Ein (8/5): Very good -
- Uni (10/5): - とても綺麗な部屋でした。
繁華街の中にあり、光州エリアの中心ともいえる広場やアジア文化殿堂などへも歩いて行けます。
アメニティも充実していました。
唯一残念だったのが、大きなバスタブがありながらお湯を溜められないことでした。
また光州へ行くときにはリピートしたいと思います。
- Victor (9/5): I would recommend - It was a very large room right in the center of a busy shopping street. They had a parking garage The decor is very old but it seems all clean.
- Josh (7/5): Good -
- Van (6/5): Pleasant -
- Richard (8/5): Very good -
- Young (1/5): didn’t feel good at this place. I will not stay this hotel ever - locat mold everywhere in the bathroom
- Josh (8/5): Very good -
- Marcos (10/5): The best value for money in terms of location and stay in Gwangju, definitely. Excellent staff. - An excellent location. Close to the ACC and other shops, malls, and restaurants. The best value for money in Gwangju. The staff is very kind, and prompt to help you. Returning to the city I will stay there again. No breakfast, but has a lot of places to get one around that. It is not a great problem for me.
- Andrew (9/5): Superb -
- Dominic (8/5): Very good -
- Samson (9/5): Great - Great ro Great room next to a very lively pedestrian street.
- Prudence (7/5): location was great - The location is central, pretty much close to most things. Close to fashion street, art street and Asian food street. plenty of cafes, pubs and clubs around. public transportation is pretty easy to access. The hotel needs a lot of updates, it’s literally so old. The room had a weird smell even though it was none smoking, the shower had so much mould, some of the mould was even pink, It needs a good scrubbing. The toilet was leaking each time I flashed.
- Aoife-caitríona (9/5): Great value, great location! - Great location! On a busy street with loud music but couldn’t hear a thing from inside the hotel. Rooms and bathroom are decent size. In addition to coffee facilities and fridge in room, there is a microwave in the lobby which was great for us. Staff are friendly. Everything was great.
- taichiro (4/5): - ロケーションは市内中心部の錦南路に近く、とても便利。
施設は全般的に古いが、室内設備はリニューアルされておりまあまあ清潔に感じた。
ドアの防音加工が不十分で隙間が多く、廊下の音がものすごく室内に響く。ということは室内の音も廊下にだだ漏れということだろう。
浴室の掃除も不十分で髪の毛がたくさん落ちていた。シャワーのお湯の出し方が分からず一苦労した。
地方都市でホテルの選択肢も少ないので、値段相応かもしれない。
- NARYUNG (10/5): - 광주 번화가에 있어서 소음이 걱정되었지만 숙소에 들어가보니 그런 걱정은 하지 않아도 되었음. 편의시설 및 먹거리 접근성은 최고였음. 스텝분들도 친절하셔서 기분 좋게 체크인, 아웃을 할 수 있었음.
- Kay (10/5): Highly recommend! - This hotel was great, I was hoping for a reasonably priced nice hotel. This hotel was great! It was clean, quiet even though it is in a busy part of Gwangju, and incredible value for money! Highly recommend!
- Han Yong (8/5): - 싸고 깔끔함. 가성비 갑
- Matthew (10/5): Nice - Good hotel for the price. Classic design but nice room.
- Jin lee (10/5): - 청결하고 시내와 가까워 좋습니당
- Min ho (2/5): 호텔아닙니다. - 모기가 너무 많았습니다.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Room was exactly as advertised. I had no issues. 4th time staying here. Will stay there again
