Holiday Inn Gwangju by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Staff are very professional and kind. Rooms are generally quiet. The cleaning crew does a great job. Everything you need is here. Restaurants and stores are a bit far away but walking/taxi/bus/subway are your options. I like walking so it was fine. There are some parks to exercise nearby too. Rooms/carpets are getting a little wear but overall an excellent hotel, I would stay here again."
