Dubai Hotel, hotel in Gwangju

Dubai Hotel is located 2297 feet south of Gwangju City Hall and 492 feet from 5.18 Memorial Park. The hotel offers private parking, 24-hour front desk services and free WiFi in all areas.

The room was very large with lots of space for our suitcases and backpacks and lots of air conditioning which you definitely want when traveling in South Korea in July with high temperatures and humidity! Our hotel room came with a little living room area with a couch and a small table as well as a desk and computer. We didn't use the computer since we had our smartphones. Each room had its own wi-fi which worked fine - something I saw in other hotels in South Korea that we stayed at as well. The furnishings gave everything a bit of a luxurious vibe. The two elevators in the hotel meant we didn't have to wait too long. The breakfast was included in the price and comprehensive. We loved getting to eat Korean food every morning but also have some western breakfast options and coffee drinks. They give you vouchers for breakfast when you check in so don't lose them! Hotel guests had 2 1/2 hours to get breakfast which was good. They had hotel parking for guests but we didn't use it as we didn't rent a car.

BOLTON Hotel, hotel in Gwangju

Located in Gwangju, a 15-minute walk from Kimdaejung Convention Center, BOLTON Hotel provides accommodations with a terrace, free private parking, a restaurant and a bar.

Our experience staying in the suite room was very enjoyable. The room was spacious enough for both of us, cleanliness was well-maintained, and as a bonus, there was a massage chair that helped us recover our energy after walking all day. With its strategic location in the city centre and fairly affordable price, I recommend this hotel for anyone planning to visit Gwangju.

    Gwangju publicises itself as an arts and culture centre.

    Gwangju publicises itself as an arts and culture centre. It has a fantastic national museum and an interesting modern art museum. A Famous K-pop star BTS J Hope) comes from there and there is a cool area with cool shops and restaurants. I would have stayed a couple more days to see some more things but my accommodation wasn't to my liking and I moved on. If you like history, culture and art you will find things to do and see in Gwangju.

    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!

    Of all the street shopping areas I have visited so far, I really enjoyed Gwangju's Chungjang-ro. We also visited the May 18 memorial and public cemetery, which had great information about the democratization movement.

    Hotel is awesome! Located in the central tourist spot (not the geographical city center, thought the central part of all the places that tourists usually visit in Gwangju). There are a lot of restaurants and attractions nearby. Transportation is good as well. Hotel itself is fully renovated, rooms are in good condition, clean and spacious. Personal speaks English well.

    I had a wonderful time at Pedro's Guesthouse. Pedro is a inspiring and kind person. He and his friends made my Gwangju trip special. The location has busstops and trainstation nearby. There are a lot of good local Restaurants nearby, but if you want to enjoy a delicious steak and pasta, go to "The Chef" Restaurant.
