광주오면 홀리데이

직원분들 친절함 덕분에 편안하게 묵고 갑니다. 조식부분 너무 훌륭했습니다. 샐러드 다양한 오일 그리고 치즈 너무 맛있었어요. 다양란 시리얼(곡물 당없는) 바삭함과 여러종류의 빵(맛있는류)이 조금더 셋업되었다면 외국인들에게 더욱 만족될듯 합니다! 다시 또 가족과 오려고 합니다. It is a wonderful place to stay if you visit Gwangju. The hosts are warm, and the breakfast is great! It would be even better if there were more choices of cereal and higher-quality bread, but overall, it’s definitely worth having breakfast included.

Extended stay was very comfortable

Staff are very professional and kind. Rooms are generally quiet. The cleaning crew does a great job. Everything you need is here. Restaurants and stores are a bit far away but walking/taxi/bus/subway are your options. I like walking so it was fine. There are some parks to exercise nearby too. Rooms/carpets are getting a little wear but overall an excellent hotel, I would stay here again.
