Seo-Gu, 4.7 km from Gwangju Folk Museum

"Clean room and very kind staff. A lot of restaurants nearby. Breakfast was basic with "continental' and Korean options, but was adequate. Parking space is sufficient. When it is tricky, the staff will help you for free. Adding a door for the toilet inside the bathroom would be nice for the privacy and simultaneous use of the toilet and bathroom sink by two family members. Adding a closet / drawer would be handy for those staying more than a couple of days."
