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.

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.

Gwangju Madrid Hotel, hotel in Gwangju

Great short term stay. Very nice Asian breakfast. Free laundry on the 10th floor extremely convenient. Friendly staff. We came from Jeonju and chose the incorrect train station (Gwangju station). The hotel is next to the Gwangju Songjeong station, don’t make the same error as us.

Hotel The City, hotel in Gwangju

Located in Gwangju, 4.1 miles from Hannam Industrial Complex, Hotel The City has accommodations with free WiFi and free private parking.

The hotel is well located near shopping and restaurants. The staff was the best part of the experience. Very helpful, patient and able to deal with my lack of Korean language skills. They received a package for me, lent me an umbrella and helped with a phone call. Much appreciated extra service. I was traveling by bicycle and this location on the edge of the city near the river bike paths and a good bike shop was good for me. Remarkably I stayed nearly a week and enjoyed most the Gwangju Museum of Art and riding in and out of town to the countryside (Namwon, etc)

    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. 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 is quite good. It is located in a big city, but not in the center, so you can reach it without a lot of traffic jams. There are many shops and restaurants nearby, also a pretty big supermarket. The rooms are clean, the staff nice and the beds comfortable. The rooms are well sound-proofed. There is a parking lot at the hotel, when we were there it had free spaces - but if it does not, there is another one close by. The next street from the hotel is interesting - it is a street with only hotels on it. But generally the area is quiet.
