늦은 시간에 체크인을 했음에도 불구하고 아기 침대, 가습기 등 요청사항을 모두 처리해주었습니다. 주변 환경은 출장으로는 좋지만 여행 상 방문하기에는 차량 이용이 필요합니다. 주말에는 결혼식으로 인해 주차장 진출입이 어려우니 주말 점심시간 전후로 숙소를 드나들 일이 있다면 피하는 것이 좋겠습니다.

Great stay - highly recommend.
My family of 5 stayed here for two night in May 2022. What a nice hotel! The staff was so friendly and went out of their way to take of us in any way we needed. The location is convenient and walking distance to subway station and taxis and buses are plentiful. The room was clean and modern and comfortable. The pool was also a nice touch and my kids had lots of fun there. If we are ever in Gwangju again, this will be our first choice for hotel - recommend you consider it too!
