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.

Great location! In the heart of the street food and restaurant area, super close to Asia Culture Center. Although in a super busy street, our room was totally silent.

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.
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!
Quiet, nice clean facilities, comfy beds, tasty breakfast... everything I could wish for in a place to stay! The personal lamp above each bed is very convienant. Also the location is very ideal, near downtown, the subway, and a lovely river to walk along! I will definitely book here if I travel to Gwangju again!
The room was rather big and as was the bathroom. In the room there is Styler (kind of ironing closet).
The hotel is very well situated with lot of restaurants nearby.
The personal friendly and helpful although the communication is not easy as they don't speak English (or very little).
Very comfortable bed, clean, and quiet room. Also I loved the Korean style breakfast, was super delicious. On the surroundings of the hotel are plenty of cafe and restaurants, you should check them out. Taking aside a few comments, I think this is a very good choice to stay at Gwangju!
The owner was really kind, she made me feel confortable as soon as I arrived. The room was big, I had enough place. The location was also perfect. I didn't know Gwangju so when I booked I thought I might be a little bit far from everything but it is actually well located.
Quite a big room nested along the river. Seems like a hotel for business trips or short getaway. Room was clean and had a computer which was easy for watching Netflix and youtube. Area was about 2 streets away from main shopping area.
location is great. alot restaurants and fashion stores like nike, zara etc right next to the hotel. very easy transportation access as the subway station was a block away. and taxi pick up area were also a block away
The staff were extremely kind and helpful. The large jacuzzi bath tub was great. free valet parking. the room was very large and had plenty of space to set up a baby crib. (hotel does not provide)
Best of all, Max (can't remember his korean name) at the concierge helped me so much on 7/31 to help me find a bus to Busan. Without his help I would have missed my entire Busan trip. Thank you!
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.
good hotel and location, but the free breakfast was not so good, not too many options and they didnt even have eggs.
Even though it was free it can be improved.
