이 호텔의 시설은 소소하지만 조식은 충격적일 정도로 매력적입니다. 조식에 광주의 매력이 잘 담겨 있습니다. 이 호텔이 제공하는 조식만 생각해도 숙박비용에서 1만원 정도가 절감된다고 생각하면 됩니다.

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

환불 가능했으면 환불했다.

708호 숙박함. 아저씨냄새(담배 + 홀아비냄새) 진동함. 페브리즈를 도배하다시피 뿌리고 1시간 후 들어가도 동일함. 라면 먹고 방에 라면 국물냄새 퍼뜨려서 간신히 잠들 수 있었음. TV hd 해상도였음.(1366x768) 눈아픔. 전체적으로 시설이 낡았음. 도저히 1박 6만원짜리 방이라고는 상상할 수 없는 퀄리티.

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.

든든한 조식이 매력있는 비즈니스 호텔

전반적인 평가는 가격 대비 무난합니다. 장점 : 조식이 알차고 맛있음. 단점 : 침대 커버에 일부 오염 있음. 입실 초기에 화장실에서 락스 냄새가 강함.
