Holiday Inn Gwangju by IHG, hotel in Gwangju

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

Great overall, one the stuff speaks frequent English, which helps a lot in place like gwangju. Despite an old-fashion interior, the room is pretty good. It’s near a 518 theme park if that’s what you intend to visit.

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 and a restaurant.

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.

    I stayed in Gwangju for a week primarily to do an event with the world famous Koran Randonneur Cycling Club. A 600k Gwangju-Busan-Gwangju. The ride started near City Hotel which is also located near the bike paths along the river. While in Gwangju I visited the very excellent Gwangju Museum of Art and the Cemetery. Gwangju seems like a very livable city with (at least) two universities and a vibrant industrial, commercial sector.

    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!

    The hotel has recently re-opened after renovations, and the result is a bright, modern, well-equipped hotel with cool, comfortable rooms. Our rooms had views over the city to the mountains. The reception staff were friendly and helpful, and negotiated the language barrier with good humour. The breakfast - a Korean cooked breakfast with supplementary bread and rolls - was very tasty. The hotel is in an area with many restaurants and bars (though we were not troubled by noise), and also very close to the Asia Culture Center and 5.18 Archives.

    Good sized newish, clean room. Comfortable bed. 75” tv. Simple breakfast included in price. Toast, cereal, juice, rice, kimchee and 2 minute noodles. Few minutes walk to Gwangju Station. Plenty of food places down the road straight across from the station. Heap of places up a side street doing duck soup.
