The Holiday Inn Gwangju by IHG was in an excellent location. There were several restaurants and cafes nearby. My tour guide said that she met her clients at the hotel often for tour pickups. The staff was helpful and attentive when I asked questions. They called a taxi for me when it was time to leave and were courteous at checkout. The bathroom was spacious and the beds were comfortable. I especially liked that there was a small convenience store located inside the hotel. It was perfect for quick snack and small item purchases. Great idea!

    Gwangju is the 6th largest city in Korea.

    Gwangju is the 6th largest city in Korea. There’s plenty to do and see, but is definitely at least a weekend trip. However, there is something for everybody — whether you’re into hiking, history, shopping, or eating. Gwangju is also pretty spread out depending on what you want to do/see so plan accordingly and make note of where things are! Make sure to go to a Kia Tigers Baseball Game when you’re there!

    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!

    Located very close to penguin village, in a nice quiet neighborhood, about a 15m walk from the ACC. Rooms are small and the shower situation is a bit, well Korean, but it’s fine given the price. The room was very clean and comfortable. The hotel itself was pretty quiet when we were there, maybe two other couples or so, so quiet at night. Ariene was very kind and responsive. As others have noted the checkin screen is unusable if you don’t speak Korean but we had no issue checking in manually.
