Mitasuya Ryokan Hotel by Anook Gwangju

Mitasuya Ryokan Hotel by Anook Gwangju

8/10 Good
"The private tub and dry sauna experience was truly unique and memorable. My family and I love Japanese ryokan-style accommodations, and this was one of the most affordable ways we've experienced it. For less than $100, we had a large private soaking tub that comfortably fit all three of us while we relaxed and watched Netflix. Having a dry sauna right next to the tub inside our room made the experience even better. The room itself was smaller than some of the other places we stayed during our trip, and there was only one small air-conditioning unit. After using the hot tub and sauna, the room stayed quite warm and took about one to two hours to cool down enough for comfortable sleeping. Other than that, everything was wonderful. The complimentary breakfast, which included Korean cup ramen and toast, was simple but satisfying. The hotel also offered free washer and dryer facilities as well as a gym, which worked perfectly for travelers like our family who were on a road trip. For the price, it's hard to complain. The private spa experience alone made it worth the stay. 9 out of 10. I would happily stay here again."
