Hotel RIL, Gwangju (formerly Luxury Hotel)

The front desk staff were friendly, and maybe because it just opened, everything was really clean. They upgraded my room, so I was assigned one with a massage chair. It was so spacious and the bed so large that I felt bad using it alone, and the TV was impressively big. I personally liked the scents of the body wash and soap, and the faucet sprayed water in a very soft mist which felt nice. The hairdryer has a high-speed digital motor, so it dried my long hair quickly, which I appreciated. There was also a styler, which was practical. The room had an air purifier, so there was no new-furniture smell. Disposable items are not provided in the room, so bring your own if needed, but there are disposable slippers, a nightgown, bottled water, and capsule coffee. Breakfast is served in the neighboring building and had a good selection—salad, rice, eggs, side dishes, soup, bread, fruit, and coffee—and it was all tasty. The massage chair would not turn on at first, but the front desk helped me; you have to press and hold the power button for several seconds to turn it on. I had not used that model before, so I didn’t know. The hotel is within walking distance of Sangmu Station and located in a busy area, so there are restaurants, bars, and convenience stores nearby, which was convenient. This was my first business trip to Gwangju, and I had a pleasant stay.

They upgraded our room, the owner is kind, and the room is clean and nice~~

They remodeled it, so it got really nice.

Feels similar to a well-maintained well-known franchise and the facilities are very good. A peculiar thing is that the water pressure gets stronger as you raise the water temperature, so to feel strong pressure you would have to get scalded; the water pressure weakens as you lower the temperature.

Maybe because it was remodeled and newly reopened, it feels nice.
