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.

    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.

    Just a lovely super charming and impeccably clean home. Every detail was thought out with care which made our stay even more comfortable and warm. The location is in a hip area just steps away, but it's just far enough away that it is quiet on the street and inside. The host Eunbee is communicative and super quick to respond to any inquiries. Would definitely book again anytime I come back to Gwangju (incidentally my new favorite city in Korea!).

    This is a lovely, new, and modern hotel close to lots of really good restaurants and situated between two subway stations and close to major bus lines. Breakfast was included with our stay and was generous and tasty. But the best part were the staff who are incredibly kind, attentive, and helpful. we managed to forget my daughter’s medicine when we left, but the staff contacted me immediately and had it delivered very quickly.

    We didn't know that "futons" meant sleeping on the floor with a very small mattress. We had accidentally booked this since we were a group of 3. When we arrived we were surprised and asked to change rooms if possible. The staff were very understanding and were able to switch rooms which we really appreciated. The room we were switched to was spacious and clean, would recommend if you plan to stay in Gwangju.

    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.

You can easily walk to restaurants. The subway is just a block away. Really friendly staff: one remembered my name has an adorable dog. As everyone knows, we can trust dog people. 😊

    The hotel and rooms were stylish, modern and clean. The staff was quite friendly and accommodating, allowing me to wait in the lobby while waiting for my food to be delivered and ordering a taxi when I was leaving. They also restock the bottled waters in your fridge for free. I didn’t order the breakfasts included so I have no opinion on them.
