房間超賣.位置佳

訂了女生4人房帶獨立衛浴，卻在晚上7點多收到沒房間要改8人房的通知，感受不太好，這麼晚也找不到其他合適的住宿。 共用浴室只有一間，需與一間8人混宿.4人男宿.雙人房一起共用。 同房其他背包客也是碰到換房的問題....。 優點:房主熱情.民宿地點很棒

地點超棒，旅舍主人很客氣

在亞洲文化中心東側，眼鏡行樓上，附近要坐公交車.地鐵都很方便，離中心商業區5分鐘路程，旅舍主人阿姨會直接用韓文跟你溝通，即便不懂韓文，可愛的阿姨也會拿出GOOGLE翻譯跟比手劃腳給你看，阿姨準備的免費早餐飽足感十足也很美味，個人牙膏刷請自己攜帶，其它毛巾.盥洗用品等都有提供，住這真的很方便輕鬆，下次到達光州一定還是住著裡。
