Hotel the Hill

The rooms are very spacious. The beds were comfortable and the showers were warm and spacious.

The heating in the room hadn't been turned on yet so there were heating pads on the beds to keep us warm enough which was a little awkward. The first room I got a key for smelled like cigarette smoke, so I requested another room which was obliged.

The location is great. This is not particularly a note about the hotel, as I've stayed here several times now- but more so about the actual location. It's close enough to downtown and many other facilities, with great access to public transport (excellent for daytime activities). It's however difficult to get a cab in this area through *hailing a cab,* especially for nighttime. If you're someone who appreciates the convenience of cabs, I highly suggest using a taxi call service such as Kakaotaxi to call one. Enjoy!

It had practical charging ports for digital devices. And a nice light up vanity mirror.

The bullet proof from door felt I inviting though the staff made up for it.

The room was spacious and clean, it had the basic toiletries and was cleaned every day including the toiletries replaced even if you did not use them. The location is okay, there a quite a lot of bus stops around, and cafes, but we found it rather difficult to find a restaurant we liked in the area. The downtown area with all the popular restaurants, stores, and bars is pretty close, approximately 15-20 mins by bus. We arrived earlier than the check-in time, and the front desk mentioned that we could either leave our luggage there or they could open the room for us but it hasn't been cleaned. They also allowed us to check out at 12 pm. I am not quite sure if they speak English at the front desk, we communicated in Korean.

Everything. Big thanks to the receptionist. He was really wonderful! The place was really clean and the bedroom was big. There is free bottles of water as well and coffee (even more at the reception if you need) The area was well located (bus stop 2 min walking) and not far from Damyang (1h30 by bus, go there for sure as there is bamboo forest, a lot of souvenirs shops and nice river walks) The bed was also comfortable (not too hard like often in South Korea)If you are searching for a good hotel with a good price and comfortable, don't search any longer you've found it.

All was perfect.

The property by itself is acceptable…The room has no problem of view since there is a tower at two meters of the window. No surprise, excellent view on the wall and, of course, a lot of light!

If you are not a native of this place and having your bank account in Korea, just don’t go there. Or… come with a lot of cash. Completely unable to find an ATM that can read foreign cards. I asked a bank, they had no solutions! I spent half a day and walked 8km in total without finding anything. In the end, I had just enough cash to pay a taxi to the station and escape from Gwangju. The manager exploded laughing when I tried to get some help… He had no solution as well ! From my stay in Korea, only it seems that only in Seoul and Busan 50% of the ATM are able to deal with foreign cards.

Nice facilities. Nice manager. Very clean. Tv had a lot of options.

Heard loud sex noises. That’s what this place is for I suppose.

Free parking on premise, large comfy beds, big flat TV with free netfix, fast wifi, shower behind a wall - so you don’t need to shower all bathroom including toilet ? free juices and drinks by the reception.

It will be nice to have seperate blankets for double beds.

The room are spatious and very clean! The bathroom is big. The room is like the pictures.

The staff does not speak English and it can be difficult to communicate with them.

nice and spacious room

location is close to touristic places (20 min on foot) but it is in a motel area with not many food options around, as it rained a lot during our stay it was not easy to move around

Location is ok. Room is large and clean. Bed is good.

Vibe is a bit off. Window facing a wall, so close I could almost touch it. Room was most likely used by smokers in the past because it still has that lingering smell. Corridors are a bit under maintained...

The room was very spacious and nicely decorated. The bathroom was clean. The TV was huge! Smart TV and easy to use. The staff at the front desk were very nice, the check in process was very easy. The location was convenient to get to buses. Really enjoyed our stay!

The only downsides were the wifi connection from the room, and the plastic mattress cover on the bed that made it less comfortable. Other than that, great stay!

It was nice and warm. The staff are super nice and generous. :)

Our room smelt of cigarette smoke. :(

I like the room, they have air purifier and air conditioner is very quiet so it's good. The room was clean, they provide hair dryer, slippers and towel robe. The bed was comfortable. They staff can't speak English but they were still helpful. I'm not sure if they provide continental breakfast (there was coffee, noodles cups, water, coffee machine and sorts of fruity drinks in the fridge) as they have a section of "cafeteria" down the 1st floor and none have a price written on them so. I love their shampoo as it make my hair soft and straight without using the hair straightener.

Face tissue ran out and I had to change the tissue roll in the bathroom. I don't like the lighting in the room as it doesn't have just one single lights, you have to turn each of the lamps surround to be able to have a kinda full lighting in the room. Also the sink doesn't have a hand wash so I had to steal some body wash to wash my hand. You can only see building for the view which is a downgrade despite the big fancy curtain.

Kindest staff ever. They all did above and beyond to assist us on any subject. On our first night, the manager recommended us where to eat and was so kind to give us a lift there with his car! They also gave us an umbrella when it was raining.The room was AMAZING - huge, clean, comfortable, nice touches, styler, big bathroom, nicely decorated with great lights and amenities. There's a coffee machine, ice, and free snacks downstairs. Even noodle cups! The price was really good too! We will definitely come back.

Nothing. It was absolutely perfect. Thank you!

Rooms are spacious and super clean.

No wifi in the rooms, beds are korean style hard, sink is unusable due to design. The hotel looks great but the usability is not as it should be. Location is far away from city center but the busses will take to everywhere you need to go

Very nice room; spacious, clean, new, pretty. Also the staff is very nice and do everything to help you. Thank you for my pleasant stay!

Nothing :-). Only positive things.

We liked that the hotel was near the center and the food street, but still pretty quiet. We didn't have any problems parking and the room was very spacious and clean. The staff was also helpful.

The lighting was a bit obnoxious because we couldn't make the room super bright. The only real problem was the wifi was really bad and we had to use our data while there

I really like the size and cleanliness of the room. The first time I stepped my foot into the room, I was dumbfounded. The size of the bed was extremely big even there was only me staying in the room. Here are the advantages of this hotel.- Size of the room is super big- Comfortable bed and bathroom- Smart TV option- The room and the hotel in general is super clean.- The staff was good- Location. (Not that good but not that bad)I was expecting to have a bathtub, but there wasn't. Maybe because my option was the cheapest ones, so there was no bathtub option.

However there are something that I think need to be improvised.- Breakfast. The only breakfast provided was only coffee, snacks and ramyeon. I was expecting to have at least toasts to start the day.- Some plugs were malfunction. I plugged in the hair dryer, unfortunately it wasn't working. It worked fine when it was plugged at the other plugs

Service was very good. Hotel personnel was always friendly and helpful. Hotel is not far from centre. Shops and coffee/bakeries are nearby. Excellent!
