Wrong bed
They advertise king size beds, but all they have a maybe a queen. I asked the front desk if they made a mistake with the room they gave me, because the bed is not king size. They said that's the only size bed they have in all the rooms. This hotel is in the middle of the party district, so keep that in mind when booking.

a bit worn
--the room is a bit worn, so for the regular price they charge, it seems a bit expensive. I booked at a discounted rate, so when you add in the fact that they tidy the room for you when you're out, it was ok value for the money --the showerhead is amazingly powerful! (one might even say it is too powerful!) without question, the most powerful showerhead I have ever experienced in my life.

Nice little hotel. Despite being near lots of bars the sound proofing is perfect. The breakfast wasn't my cup of tea but that is more my European tastes.

Comfortable Hotel
The hotel seemed a little weird at first, as it is very plain, and the room had absolutely no view (you could reach out and touch the next building through the window, almost) but it turned out to be extremely comfortable and a nice cool refuge from the August heat. It kind of grew on us. Spotlessly clean, quiet, great AC, comfortable bed, good location -close to stores, restaurants, subway, buses. An interesting Korean breakfast every morning. The staff was very nice: friendly, very helpful and accommodating; even though they didn't speak much English, I still felt they knew what I was asking and were happy to help. I would stay here again.

It is a good hotel worth to stay
The layout out of the room is excellent. Every inch provides its practical use. The hotel changed the bedding everyday that made us sleep comfortably. The staff always show kindness , hospitality, try to help clients out. If we visit Gwangju the 2nd time , we will book this hotel again !!

Excellent Hotel
Stayed for 5 days last week for work and I loved the location. Staff took good care of me and my colleagues. Breakfast was fresh, kitchen was open for us to heat up foods. Free laundry for guests, so great for me after 1 week of travel! Will come back again! Good wifi as well

대박 조식~ 대박 흐뭇~
출장이 잦은 편이라(특히 광주광역시로~) 조식이 제공되는 호텔을 자주 이용합니다 오늘 더메이 호텔에서 제공힌 조식을 받고 감동~~~ 7첩반상을 받은 느낌이였습니다 음식도 정성있게 조리된 상태였고 누룽지까지 챙겨 주는 조식은 난생 처음이였습니다. 덕분에 아주 기분 좋게 아침을 시작했습니다
