This is not a hotel It is very clean and good Inn,The best part is definitely the view. it’s one of the best views in Gwangalli. The beach is within easy walking distance, which is very convenient. If you’re looking for a luxury experience, this may not be the place, but if you want a clean, simple stay with a beautiful view and a great location, I definitely recommend it. Clean and comfortable

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.

Great location, rooms were as advertised and clean, bathroom showing their age slightly but overall the hotel is pretty good. Dining at the hotel expensive but plenty of dining options nearby so no real issue (the few times we went to the rooftop the restaurant was very empty, could be so much more with those amazing views!), great opportunity….

Our stay was amazing. Hotel is clean, separate toilet from shower, convenient store located just 10 feet from the hotel, beach is just across the street, amazing view of Gwangalli beach from the hotel, a lot of restaurants. Breakfast buffet included with lots of choices which include but not limited to white rice, bacon, to order scrambled egg or sunny side up and a lot more.
