Excepcional
Pros:

Prácticamente todo. El hotel es una pasada de cómodo con insonorizacion, personal amable. Una joyita. En una ciudad muy desconocida.

Cons:

No nos arreglaron la habitación ya que ampliamos una noche. Pero todos somos humanos.

Pros:

There was a lively downtown area called Chungjang-ro nearby, and it was very convenient because both the bus stop and subway station were within a 10-minute walk. The facilities were clean, the Wi-Fi was fast, and the bed was comfortable. Since I am Korean, I was able to communicate with the staff without any problems, though I am not sure whether they speak English.

The biggest advantage of this hotel was that it offered a delicious Korean-style breakfast. The person who cooked there was extremely kind and a very good cook. If I travel to Gwangju again, I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

Good for the price
Pros:

This hotel is in a great location. It's within walking distance of the Chungjang-ro Street where there are lots of shops, cafes and restaurants, and it's also close to a metro station and the Asian Culture Centre.
The staff at the hotel were very friendly. The man at reception remembered my name and asked me every day if I wanted fresh towels and more water. They stopped me one night as I returned to the hotel as they saw me carrying water from the convenience store. They said don't bother with that, we'll give you it for free.
The bed was very comfortable and the room came with a PC set up for watching Netflix.
Breakfast didn't have much choice and was the same every day, but what was there tasted good.

Cons:

The room could've been a bit cleaner. There were some large hairs on the floor and in the bathroom, and there were stains or marks on the bedsheets.
Even after adjusting the fridge temperature, it still froze everything in it.
