Spacious private wet bathroom
The owner was very helpful in helping navigate, from the train station. He emailed a few days before to ask what time we would likely check in. We texted him for public trans and popular spots to tour. He provided maps. Check in included a care package of all the essentials (and more) for grooming. Filtered water was available. We didn't try breakfast but ramen, coffee, tea and water were available. The stairs were very dusty but it didn't bother anyone's allergies, surprinsingly. The key for our room included a flashlight and panic button, in case of emergencies. There is no elevator, but the stairs were carpeted. There was a window in our room. No outisde noise was heard on the 4th floor. Very close to the subway and bus stops. I would definitely stay here again.

Gwangju's Hidden Gem
This hostel is owned, managed and staffed by a one-man show. He is always alert, eager to help, and kind. He is also the Tourist Information Centre. If you need any advise, he will be the man. This is what a great hostel should be. I booked a single room for 2 nights and I was very satisfied with it - flat TV, heater, fan, and toiletries. There was a kitchen that open 24 hours. They got ramen, egg, sausages, bread, orange juice , milk and etc - you just have to cook it yourself and wash it up. The location is about 15 minutes walk from the main bus terminal where you can get inter-city bus, and about 5 mins walk from the nearest subway. All in all, I highly recommend this place.

If you are following the walking video guide from the hostel's website, please do take note that some of the shops or buildings you seen in the video had 'changed'. I guess the video was made more than a year ago. All in all, I highly recommend this place.

Great value and location
This place is conveniently situated about 10 minutes walk to the bus station and about five minutes to the subway, which connects to the airport. There are lots of restaurants and huge e market for supplies. It's not a new place and is a bit crusty, but it makes up for it with a nice common room and small kitchen with free supplies for breakfast. The room was small but the beds comfortable. Bedrooms come with all sorts of supplies like shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, brushes, hairdryer, etc.. The manager is very sweet and very obliging. In all great value for money.

The manager was great! He was very kind and considerable. There was an orientation for new guests so that you won't be confused during your stay. He also help me in finding tourist destinations and instructed me how to get there. The hostel also offer free meals for guests during their stay with a variety of food from rice, noodles, bread, cereals, etc. Everything was wonderful. I've been to many places before in Korea with nearly the same price but to me, this place is the best from facilities to service, equivalent to a 3-star hotel, I think.

Nice surprises at this hostel
Such a friendly and helpful manager. Surprise bag of "goodies" upon arrival, maps and tour information available. Well stocked fridge and kitchen where we could make our own breakfast when we wanted. Quiet neighbourhood yet handy to lots of eating places, banks and shopping. Hot water and warm quilt. Would definitely recommend this hostel to others.

Super helpful manager!
I was not expecting much as the price was low, however my room and bathroom must have been renovated very recently and were in really good condition. The manager went out of his way to help including sending an email to me right after I had booked, with maps/videos showing how to get to the hotel, and his cell phone number in case I got lost. Once checked-in he pointed out all the important sights, provided me with several maps, etc., so all-in-all a very helpful guy! The hotel provides not only the standard toast and coffee breakfast but you can actually grab anything you like from the kitchen at any time, including instant noodles, bacon, eggs, bread, bananas, coffee, tea, rice, etc.! The location is not far from the intercity bus station (about 10 minutes on foot or a short taxi ride) and several local buses stop just a block away, so yet another reason why I would definitely consider staying again.

Impressive hostel I have ever stayed!
I have very impressed by the excellent service by this hostel manager, he contacted me before my trip and even reply my message very quickly when I text him, he is very helpful and nice guy to introduce the facilities among hostel even I just stayed 1 night. 10-15 minutes walk to Bus Terminal, they have created a video on youtube to direct you how to get there. They even provide a bag of essential body & skin care samples for your stay, and I am quite surprised by the hair straightener inside a dorm room! The room is clean and enough for individual people or group of people to have a short stay! The hostel manager was so kind to give a pen as a gift while check-out, really recommended this hostel!

お兄さんの気遣いがうれしく、ゆったりと気楽に過ごせる宿。
部屋は寝るところとシャワー・バスが広々としていてゆったりと過ごせました。 アメニティも充実していて良かったです。 管理人さんは常駐していないので、チェックイン時に時間を伝える必要があります。今回少し遅れてしまったのですが、近所のクリーニング屋のおじさんが声をかけてくれたりして無事に会えました。 旅のプランを聞いて、移動手段などをi padで教えてくれたりしてお世話になりました。 宿の中で顔を合わせると、何か困ったことはないか聞いてくれたり、 こちらの拙い英語と韓国語でのこの日こんなことがあったという一方的な喋りにも付き合ってくれて、楽しく過ごすことができました。 １点気をつけてほしいのが、他の部屋はわからないけれどシャワーのお湯の出が結構悪かった（水がお湯になるまで10分近くかかった）ことです。 それ以外はとても良かったです。

コストパフォーマンス最高でした。
ゲストハウスあるいはホステルという範疇の宿泊施設でしたが、コストパフォーマンス最高でした。立地も、バスターミナルから徒歩１５分ほど、地下鉄農城駅には３分と便利です。 チェックインが深夜１２：００、チェックアウトが早朝４：００でしたが事前にメールをしてオーナーが快く対応してくれました。結局使わなかったけどミーティングルームやキッチンもあります。トースト、ラーメンなどが無料です。 もちろんWi-Fi完備です。 すぐ近くにコンビニ（ミニストップ）もあります。 一人旅では大満足です。

ホテルの看板が分からず、うろうろしてると建物から、オーナーが出て来て案内してくれました。 最初にラッピングしてあるアメニティを渡され、カギ、部屋の案内、キッチン、無料洗濯機の利用など手際よく案内してくれました。キッチンが自由に使えて、近くのマーケットから食材を買って 料理する事が出来ました。毎日、出来立てご飯があります。 手際よく

駅から歩いて15分弱。入り口は少しわかりずらかったが、皆さんお書きの通り、オーナーが大変親切だった。五階までエレベーターはなく、階段もあまりきれいではないが、部屋の中は清潔で、宿泊に問題ない。駅近くのラブホテル街より安く、女性一人旅の方もおり、安心感がある。

とにかく便利です。
マネージャーは若い男性ですが、気配りがよく出来る人です。何かと親切に声をかけてくれます。部屋の掃除もよく行き届いていると思います。ベッドの下も埃りがありません。掃除の必要な時は札をドアにかけておきます。それ以外は部屋を開けませんので衣服を掛けっぱなしでも気をつかわなくてすみます。食事はフリーで材料は備えてあるのでラーメンを作って食べることも出来ます。光州バスターミナルから７００㍍位なので徒歩で行けます。タミャン、南原、白羊寺など周辺の観光地に出かけるのに便利です。地下鉄農城駅まで徒歩５分くらいなので地下鉄も利用して市内観光にも便利です。
