Muy bien con su precio y ubicación
Pros:

La cama las almohadas eran cómodas y el sillón de masaje, genial.

Вот вежливый, но чёткий вариант на английском языке:



I’m very disappointed with the hotel and the room we stayed in. The hotel felt more like a motel — everything was old, there were strange stains on the bedding, and the room had an unpleasant smell. There were no towels provided, and there was constant noise, including from the air conditioner which made loud sounds from time to time. It was nothing like what was shown in the photos.

The level of cleanliness was much lower than what people mentioned in the reviews, and I just wanted to leave as soon as possible.



Если хочешь, могу адаптировать под письмо в службу поддержки или просьбу о компенсации.

Good 👍
Pros:

I found it super close to GIST, which is what I wanted, and the fact that there is a massaging chair inside is so good.

Cons:

Nothing aside the fact that the checkout is said to be at 11AM in the app and 12PM in the building.

Comfortable and convenient for cyclists. Extremely kind staff. Gwangju is a fascinating city.
Pros:

The hotel is well located near shopping and restaurants. The staff was the best part of the experience. Very helpful, patient and able to deal with my lack of Korean language skills. They received a package for me, lent me an umbrella and helped with a phone call. Much appreciated extra service. I was traveling by bicycle and this location on the edge of the city near the river bike paths and a good bike shop was good for me. Remarkably I stayed nearly a week and enjoyed most the Gwangju Museum of Art and riding in and out of town to the countryside (Namwon, etc)
