コスパあまりよくない
Cons:

集合住宅で改造されたホテルのようです。設備が壊れたりして、古そうです。土曜で一泊90000ウォンで、私の感覚では高いです。このようなホテルはソウルだったらこの値段が合理的かもしれないですが、地方都市にしては高い。最寄りの駅が工事中のためか、周辺はあちこちゴミが散乱されています。

three-star accommodation in the Sangmu area of Gwangju.
Pros:

C ( 24.10.03 )
There was an event at the Kim Dae-jung Center, so I stayed here for three nights. The parking lot is nice, and the staff is kind. There are many inexpensive accommodations around, but I stayed here, which is a more comfortable place. The room condition is good, and the interior of the room is also wide. I stayed for three nights, but there was no inconvenience. I think it is one of the best accommodations in the Sangmu area.

Pleasant
Pros:

The room was super spacious, and the best thing was the bathroom with a bathtub. Had never had a bathtub in Korea

Cons:

Well, for a solo (foreign) female traveller, it was the most scary location possible, as it was where all motels and love hotels are located. The "bussiness hotel" that was pretty much beside it had a poster in the window with a text saying "p*rn hug" and was definitely not a normal hotel. Hotel stay had a plaque saying it was an accommodation save for women and kids, but in the location like that, it made me even more worried. The room itself had just the keycard lock and no other way of locking it, which again made me worried.
On top of all that, there was no remote for air-conditioning. It was set for like 18C°, way too cold for comfort if it ran constantly, and i could only turn it off when i climbed a chair and pushed a botton on the aircon itself.
Finally the location was on the opposite side of everything turistically interesting and also far from a bus station (it looks close on the map, but the city is way bigger than it looks, trust me) . Though that is on me for picking it without looking well on the map.

사용후기
Pros:

자전거대회에 참가하기위해 숙소를 고민하던중에 이곳을
선택하게 되었습니다. 장점이라면 음식점과 술집들이 많이 있어 멀리 나가지 않아도 되구요 좀 아쉬웠던부분은 베개가 누렇게 보이고 짧은머리카락이 묻어있고 샤워장이 변기와 딱붙어있어서 좀 불편하더라구요. 개인적으로 쓰는 수건과 자전거용속도계충전잭을 탁자에 내놨는데 청소하시는분이 착각하셨는지 치워져있더라구요 딱히 문제삼지 않았지만 이런부분의 대처는 아쉬웠습니다

Pros:

방음 시설이 돠어 있다고 했는데 유리창을 통해 들어오는 도시의 어지러운 불빛들, 길거리 소음이 정말 다들어옴. 비가 왔는데 빗소리때문에 잠을 잘 수 없을 정도. 주차시설 잘 되어 있고 주변에 음식점, 술집이 많아 접근성은 좋다
