Holiday Inn Gwangju, an IHG Hotel, hotel in Gwangju

Overlooking 5.18 Freedom Park, Holiday Inn Gwangju is conveniently located a 5-minute drive from Gwangju Airport.

We booked 2 rooms as we were a family of 5, they were good enough to provide us with connecting rooms and a free extra bed. The rooms were a bit small but they were clean and comfortable. The hotel is not very close to major tourist sites, but taxi is affordable, and there are closeby buses that can be accessed as well.

    Being the cultural and economic hub of the southeastern part of Korea, Gwangju is worth visiting if you're interested in this country. Also, Gwangju is the best place in Korea that hosts and preserves historical heritages regarding the military/dictatorial government in the last century. You're strongly recommended to visit the former Jeonnam provincial office and Jeon Il Building to witness the history of brave Korean people.

    I stayed for two days and I think it was suitable for my needs. Make sure to go to Sajik Park and to the observatory there, sunset up there was so beautiful! Also there's a café so you can get a take-away coffee to the observatory deck and enjoy it there (or in the café if you prefer that, there are large windows with great views too). When you go in the evening, there are light installations in the park and reflected to the tower. Make sure to know basic Korean when you go to Gwangju or have a good translator since not everyone speaks English. I speak a bit of Korean so it was okay. T-Money card works well here and it's easy to get from the airport to the city by subway. If you are BTS ARMY like me, be sure to check out J-hope art in the Penguin Village and Gwangju Kpop Street!

    Gwangju is a city of culture, arts and history.

    Gwangju is a city of culture, arts and history. The people are kind and the food is great as well. Head to Yangrim-dong if you want a plenitude of cafes full of aesthetic. If you’re looking for places to eat, Dongmyeong-dong is where you should be. And Asia Culture Center is great to chill even after the sunset. The best part is that everything listed above is very close to each other. I visited Gwangju about 6 times and I can’t wait for the next. I love this city!

    We really appreciated the educational opportunities at places such as the 5.18 Archives, Liberty Park and Asian Cultural Center. For Americans.like us, learning.about the U.S. role in the military slaughter of Gwangju citizens in May 1980 was very important. The beauty of the Bamboo Forest and mountains nearby.was.stunning. Subway to the 5.18 Liberty Park (KDJ Convention Center stop) was easy enough to.figure out.

    Gwanbju is wonderfull city, but I had litle time to visit because I participate in Fina Masters. I eat all around between swimming pool and Prince hotel. It is easy only if you know whwre exactly leed bus lines. I could not find som kind of touristic card with bus lines, I found only card with metro line. After few day and big time to study Gwangju it was easier but stil fatiguant.

    I think that I reviewed this hotel before upon my first stay here, but I'll do it again. This is THE spot for me in Gwangju - serene, clean, and very professional feeling, with kind employees, coffee and limitless toast in the lobby, a table of fine perfumes, umbrellas to borrow, and LIMITLESS FREE LAUNDRY - WITH SOAP - IN THE INDUSTRIAL MACHINES IN THE BASEMENT! Bright, minimalist decor with plain, white, crispy bedding and actual cotton bathrobes. Sparkling marble-surfaced bathroom with multiple-option shower and bathtub.

    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!

    Hotel rate was not expensive compared to other hotels in the area. Everything in there is of good quality and very clean. They had restaurant, cafe, gym, parking area and pantry open for all guests. Location is at the heart of Gwangju and walking distance to shopping district and everything else. The owners are very hands on, friendly and generous. It almost felt like our second home and we will always come back to this place.

    Everything went well with my stay at Athene Motel. Its near the May 18 Memorial Park and Uncheon Reservoir, there are 2 bus stops near and 1 train station that makes it accessible. The room is clean and spacious for one person. The hosts are kind, they let me store my luggage even after check out and come back for it. The free breakfast is basic but good. Recommended when you go to Gwangju.

    Clean and nice room with a balcony. Good location next to Daein market and to the metro. It's very easy to go by bus for 20/30 min to Mudeungsan National Park. There is a gym inside the hostel and a common kitchen. It is possible to have some breakfast: there is a cafe next to the hotel and if you take an americano for 3000 won you'll get a toast from 9-11:00
