The service by the staff: the reception, dining hall and cleaning staff was exceptional. They were very helpful. They oriented me to their hotel and the available facilities (spa chair, tumble dryer etc) and how I could use them. They even helped me with booking a train and taxi back to Seoul.

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.

We booked two rooms. The wheelchair accessible room and the bathroom are barrier-free, with roll-in shower. However, wheelchair users should bring their own shower chairs and other support equipment as necessary. The standard room is also accessible to manual wheelchairs, with assistance. There is a low step into the bathroom (about 8 cm, refer to the photo). Once in, bathroom is accessible with a roll-in shower. All rooms are spacious and clean, each is big enough for two wheelchair users. The hotel has its own parking facilities, and the lobby is clean, professional and inviting. The staff are helpful and friendly. Breakfast is a generous spread (American/Korean) for the price.

    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!

    We booked for one night on the evening before our stay and everything was right, we have free parking opportunity and the room was well stocked, quiet for night. The ladies at the reception speak no English but helped us and took our laundry and dried the clothes too. The bathroom is spacious enough and the bed has warming function - which was not needed as the room was warm enough despite the cold weather outside. We easily achieved shops and restaurants near the hotel.

    Very pleasant and reasonably priced business hotel. Staff was very polite and helpful. Rooms were clean. Larger rooms were quite comfortable, though smaller ones were somewhat cramped. There were some complementary basic snacks and drinks available, as well as hot water. The area was quite nice, with many small shops and restaurants available. AC available and worked well. A little fridge available in rooms. Good WiFi. Most issues were corrected promptly.

    I booked this hotel as I was coming to Gwangju for the buskers world cup and wanted somewhere affordable and convenient to stay. It was smack in the middle of all the hustle and bustle, opposite a starbucks and lots of food places and shopping around. The room got cleaned every single day, if anything to an excessive point with fresh towels and water restocked every single day.
