There are many great restaurants and things to do in the area! The hotel and room were so clean and comfortable. The futuristic feel to the hotel definitely made it feel like it should be a ☆☆☆☆☆ hotel. If this is an option on your list, just book it! You won't regret it.

FAQs about hotels in Gwangju

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.

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!

The location was very good with a EMart on site,a shopping centre with restaurants opposite and even a greater choice of restaurants a street away. The breakfast was very nice with a mixture of Korean style and Western included in the room cost. Beds were very firm as is often the case in Asia but all the facilities were very good. I would certainly recommend this hotel as it Was great value for money.
