Very nice looking, clean and spacious rooms. The hotel lies directly at the Gwangju Songjeong station, where the SRT trains stop (about 3-5 min walk) and there are several convenience stores nearby. Note that the location is not correctly displayed on either Google Maps or Naver, the hotel is actually on the other corner, just beneath the Aura hotel. You can check it with Streetview beforehand. The bus terminal is in reachable distance by local busses. The shower and jacuzzi were very nice, the staff very friendly and helpful, the rooms well equipped. Minor detail: the mattress was very (!) hard.

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.

The deluex double room is big. It has a yacuzi-type bathtub with hydromassage. In addition to a desk, mirror, refrigerator, television, electric kettle...etc...very nice and complete.

    I met the host once during my stay. He was kind and nice. And he was able to explain to the taxi driver how to get to there when the taxi driver didn't know. I didn't have the breakfast. I felt uncomfortable going down to the porch where I was advised it would be served. There was stuff left there for days.

    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!

    Prior to the Holiday Inn I stayed at a 4-star hotel in Seoul and a 3-star in Suwon, and based on the overall experience this is my favourite hotel to date!🤩 The staff were friendly and informative upon check-in, the room was superb and had everything I needed and more. It was the only hotel I've stayed in so far that has face cloths (flannels). I loved the art work and self-playing piano in the lobby, as well as the available eateries. So impressed with this hotel!
