It’s about a 15 minute walk from the bullet train station so be mindful of that if you’re hauling around luggage, the sidewalks are not luggage friendly. Overall, a great hotel in a great area with a lot of local food nearby! Would stay again for longer whenever I return to Korea. ##### Ellamae Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Robert Dec 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Friendly cooperative staff, modern clean room. ##### Robert Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### 경호 Jan 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Breakfast was good. ##### 경호 Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Soo Yun Jan 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort very clean great location ##### Soo Yun Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yoon Apr 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff members were very kind and helped guests a lot ##### Yoon Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### dohee Apr 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was good to drink tea in the morning because there was a balcony and it was good to have an emart right downstairs I should have checked out an hour late, but there was no problem.

Staff is very friendly with a great service provided. Room looked like the pictures and was very clean and neat. Terrace was a great plus. It had also a movable frame with net against bugs and mosquitos. For this we could sleep with the door open en have fresh air. Location is great, in a posh upscale area with lots of bars and restaurants. Also the nightlife scene is around but was no disturbance for us. Overall best hotel we had in south Korea price quality wise. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jiamin Nov 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent modern property. Even though the room was small, they did an excellent job fitting everything into the space with plenty of storage, kitchen, sink, large fridge, closet, etc. all modern equipment. Bidet was better than most hotels. No complain in functionality despite the small space. The only complains are: (1) noise insulation, can hear neighbors (2) heated floor seemed to take temperature above thermostat temperature, we had to turn on the AC ##### Jiamin Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cheolmin Dec 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Hard to park, but kind staffs will help u ##### Cheolmin Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Frank Sep 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good to stay. ##### Frank Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### IL HO Nov 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Reasonable price and accomodations. ##### IL HO Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### ILHWAN Apr 9, 2025 Good for shot business trip ##### ILHWAN Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### cheolwon Jul 6, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Good breakfast. ##### cheolwon Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nolan Nov 4, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything is 4-star quality for a great price ##### Nolan ### 8/10 Good #### Jeroen Sep 1, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very comfortable room! ##### Jeroen Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jirat Apr 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort A good place to stay in Gwangju when you visit this city.
