Only stayed for one night but the room was cozy, clean, and comfortable! It’s about a 15 minute walk from the bullet train station so be mindful of that if you’re hauling around luggage, the sidewalks are not luggage friendly. Overall, a great hotel in a great area with a lot of local food nearby! Would stay again for longer whenever I return to Korea.

A decent option if you stop in Gwangju

Did it do the job, yes. Was it deserving 4 stars, certainly not. But as always in Korea the staff was efficient and nice.
