Loved the location very accessible to restaurants, subway, buses and a convenient store attached to the hotel. Loved it was very close to the beach and the view of the Gwangan Bridge which lights up at night. The room was a little dated but clean. The staff were very helpful. I would recommend if you want to be in the heart of it all.

Our room had a partial view of the ocean but it was a great view nonetheless. The beach is just right across the street. We had an amazing stay. Everything was great - room, staff, and location. Would book this property again for our next visit to Gwangalli.
