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.

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.
Hotel rate was not expensive compared to other hotels in the area. Everything in there is of good quality and very clean. They had restaurant, cafe, gym, parking area and pantry open for all guests. Location is at the heart of Gwangju and walking distance to shopping district and everything else. The owners are very hands on, friendly and generous. It almost felt like our second home and we will always come back to this place.
We really enjoyed our stay a lot. As we traveled in off-season, the owners even upgraded our room without any extra cost! The owner was very kind and helpful; nice breakfast was made and we were able to put our bags in the accommodation before we could check into our room. The accommodation was also only about a 20 minute walk from the archives and culture center of Gwangju, and really close to the cute Penguin village!
Breakfast was included in the price, which made this hotel really nice to me.
The room was very big and the bed really large, and so clean as well !
There was also a steam and air cleaner for clothes ! Very convenient !
Shampoo, conditioner and body wash soap in the bathroom, so no need to take mine.
Parking places are available !
We enjoyed our stay there in a calm and quiet place.
The Hotel was very easy to get to, close to a lot of amenities. The staff were very friendly and welcoming upon my arrival, greeting me by name and helping to bring my luggage to the room and explaining everything I needed to know. The room was amazing! very clean and spacious with everything I could ever need. I could have happily stayed in the room and never left during my entire stay in Gwangju!
Staff were very pleasant and kind. Very helpful as we needed a late check in. About 25 minutes drive from KTX Gwangju. Breakfast was very good quality compared to other hotels I have stayed in around Korea. Plenty of options for vegetarians. Good shower. Nice interior design in the room. Very clean. Decent aircon. Convenience store and Lotte Mart within walking distance.
Hotel is located near Intercity Bus terminal (U-square). Very nice and comfortable room, helpful reception service. There was a clothes styler in the room. Great tool for freshing and steaming the clothes. Would like to stay in this hotel again.
The hotel is nicely located, in the center of Gwangju. It has all necessary facilities, private bathroom with towels, toothbrush and toothpaste. Very big and comfortable (especially for Korea) bed, big TV.
The hotel is pretty close to Downtown and further travel destinations.
I was allowed to leave my big luggage at the hotel while traveling for a few days at Seoul before coming back to stay this night.
We liked that the hotel was near the center and the food street, but still pretty quiet. We didn't have any problems parking and the room was very spacious and clean. The staff was also helpful.
I liked that its close to some sights and many restaurants available. It was nice to have Korean style breakfast but the coffee was weak. I liked that there were a variety of amenities.
the room has LG Steam Closet!!
hotel right in the shopping area. Very convenient !
also one of my friend forgot something
the hotel staff are help and patient
