I enjoyed my stay at the Gwangju Madrid Hotel, particularly for its great location and modern amenities. However, I found the lack of some basic comforts, like air conditioning control and bathroom privacy, a bit frustrating.

The Double Room I stayed in was spacious and offered modern decor. I appreciated the Kerasys shampoo and conditioner provided, plus the facial mask, which was a nice touch. However, the bathroom lacked a door, which felt a bit awkward.

The front desk staff were exceptionally kind and accommodating, allowing me an early check-in for an extra fee. They were quick to activate the air conditioning upon request, but I found it odd that I had to call them to do so.

While the breakfast was included in my stay, I found it a bit repetitive and could have used more western options (a good pancake would have been nice!). It was still decent given that it was complimentary.

The self-service laundry was incredibly helpful during my 5-night stay. However, I noticed there was no ironing board or iron available in the room, which would have been useful.
