                Peace of mind and comfortable. Rooms look cool and its less than 5 minutes away from the Gwangju U-square bus terminal. One of the deluxe rooms has my favorite massage chair and it's nice to have it all to yourself. The amenities were super (toothbrush, skincare, shaver, water bottles, NETFLIX!!)

                Location is good for people who want to go to the bus terminal, approximately 10-15mins slow walk. Breakfast starts at 730am to 930am, with korean food, soup and western breakfast available. I love the LG styler in the room and the room and toilet were big and comfortable for my 3 nights stay. Wish i had the massage chair in the family room, but i think it is limited to only some room types

                Close to USquare. Check-in was fast. The room was clean and the bed was comfy. Check-out time on Agoda was not correct because it states that the checkout time is at 1pm but it is actually noon. Glad we called to ask. I would definitely stay again!

                This place is a business hotel and really I didn’t see any negatives. 1. Check in as fast and smooth, they put extra big towels and extra water in the room as requested by me on Agoda 2. Room was nice and they have everything you need. 3. Good air conditioner 4. Huge walk in shower 5. Free coffee in the lobby 6. Great buffet breakfast American and Korean style 7. Nice owner and helpful with directions 8. Many TV channels and a computer 9. Air cleaner running when entering the room 10. Plugs for charging phones next to the bed. Overall, great place. You cannot go wrong here

                All is good except for mosquitoes ”

                Conviently located opposite Gwangju U Square Bus terminal. My early check in and late check out requests were accommodated which I really appreciate it. At the lobby, water, hot tea and coffee are provided. Breakfast serves Korean and simple Western. We enjoyed the Korean breakfast! Room is clean and well equipped with the usual toiletries and even had hair straightener! however we marked it to 3 stars due to mosquitoes. There were many and we became like a buffet for them. We are surprised as it is cold and windows are closed so not sure how they came into the room. It was only the last day when we realised that the lobby has the mosquito bat, which means it is a known problem to them. It is not easy to sleep with mosquitoes buzzing around your ears. Lastly, will recommend that the hotel provide 2 bath towels instead of 1 in every room. Smaller towels were provided but not there was only 1 big bath towel.
