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.

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.

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

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。

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。
