The best place value wise !!!

Very much satified !!! Reasonable price. Clean and roomy room, comfortable bed and pillows. Nice huge TV. Nice breakfast. Roomy and clean washroom with videt and extra towels. Lots of eatery in the area. Ballot parking. Near a station. An airport is munutes away by taxi. To the bus terminal, about $10(us) by taxi. Value wise, I think it is a superb place. BTW, I am a Korean Canadian. Thanks.

何よりも光州松汀駅直ぐの立地で､地下鉄での移動も楽ですし、トッカルビ通りはじめ飲食店もいろいろあり､街中も明るく安心出来る環境かと思います。朝食付きプランなので多くは望んではならないと思いますが、おかずのバリエーションがもう少し多様だと、連泊でも更に楽しみが大きくなるかと思いました。味は美味しいです。 部屋の大きさは十分に広く、清潔で快適でした。

욕조에 물을 받고 월풀기능을 키니까 바로 머리카락들이 튀어나왔습니다. 많지는 않았지만 (열가닥 정도 분량) 월풀 회전때문인지 요상하게 묶여서 가느다란 거미 처럼 보여 잡아보려 했으나, 곧 머리카락임을 알고 굉장히 불쾌해서 물을 다시 다 빼고 채웠습니다. 1인실에도 욕조가 있어서 이 호텔을 선택했는데 출장에서 꼭 욕조를 사용 하는 사람에게는 상당히 실망스러웠어요. 방음이 잘되어 매우 좋았습니다
