Friendly staff but little English was spoken so any problems could be difficult to resolve. Room was comfortable with a good view over surrounding urban scene and then open countryside. Bathroom and toilet facilities were good, with an interesting WC that comes with a handbook and remote control! Public rooms were clean and smart with some interesting ornaments on display. Hotel was deserted during my overnight stay and eating in the empty restaurant was an unusual experience. Very limited menu for Western tastes. Breakfast a disaster as restaurant still closed 15 mins after opening time.
resulting in having to depart for airport hungry.

Okay for overnight stay

The first impression of this hotel is actually quite good. the outside looks nice, the reception looks nice and it is big. The good feeling disappears  quickly when you enter your room. very small,very old, it smells bad, the Airco does not work, the carpet is full of stains and there was a long black hair in my not so comfortable bed.
the restaurant is more of the same, they do not speak any English,the food is expensive not too tasty and the servings are small. Unfortunately there is not a decent restaurant in the neighborhood. 
anyway's if you have to be in Gwanyang for business, you do not have a choice  but with this review at least you know what you can expect.

if this is the best in town..how bad are the other hotels

This hotel is very well located, as it allows business travellers to stay near big companies such as Posco, the sea port, and Postech, within a manageable distance. The rooms are immaculate, and the breakfast is amazing! Staff speaks english very well, and is very approachable. We needed a cab to go to the city and they had it for us in less than 10 minutes. If visiting Gwangyang, this is your best bet!

Very Good hotel

In fact the only hotel in town.  If you want to stay in Gwangyang this hotel is really the only option for the non Korean speaking traveler.  Location is what Philemo offers most.  Twenty minutes to Yeosu airport (RSU), very short drive to POSCO and the new container terminal.  This is my third visit over the past few years and I know I’ll be back.

Room was basic but comfortable, large wardrobe with shelving and another with limited hanging space, half of which is taken up by the two comfy bathrobes.  Bed was firm and comfortable, four pillows ranging from soft to medium.  Could not figure out the heat, used the window to regulate the temperature.  Did manage to master the light controls, just kept pushing buttons.   Water pressure was good, temperature steady but there was a lack of hot water in the early mornings which was strange because I never saw another guest until my last morning.  Bathroom lighting was good enough for shaving.  Toilet was the fancy heated seat, water spraying hygienic variety.  Electrical outlets are type F so you really need that specific adapter.  No universal outlets in the room.  Internet by lan cable.  I had to drag the desk from the wall and re-plug the cable because it had come loose.  Not very clean behind or under the furniture.  No WiFi that I could find.  Restaurant, coffee shop, bar are one in the same; limited options but the food was fine.  There is a phone number listed for room service on the night stand card but as I learned there is no room service.  One English language TV channel, CNN.  
Outside the hotel entrance turn left and the bus station is next door, two nearby convenience stores; one at the bus station and one directly across from the bus station.  Turn right, cross the overhead bridge and there is a nice sized supermarket with a good bakery.   

The airport was 15 minutes from the hotel.  Suncheon  is twenty to sixty minutes away depending on traffic.  Busan can be as close as 90 minutes or as far as three hours.
