Hotel B

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed 6 nights with my family. Very conveniently located near the city hall with a lot of restaurants around and it's easy to get to tourist attractions in Gwangju and it's vicinity. The staff was very kind. Breakfast was basic (home made Korean and kinda continental), but was adequate. It'd be better to serve milk from a jar rather than straight from the carton. The room was clean and spacious. The layout is "creative" and "unorthodox" (different from typical cookie-cutter American hotel rooms), but didn't present any issue. The toilet inside the bathroom doesn't have a separate door. It'd be better to add a door for the privacy so that a family member can use the sink (e.g for toothbrushing) while the toilet is being used by another. For family travellers, the lack of any closet space is a downside. Each room has its own wifi but no encryption. It'd be nice to add USB (A and C) ports for charging devices especially considering that power outlets are a bit inconveniently located. A spot was always available for parking during my stay."

UTOP Boutique Hotel & Residence

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our 6 day stay. The washing machine and air-con worked so well. There were no strange noises and the coil bed was so comfortable. We slept well every night. The bathroom had a bidet which was helpful. The room itself was probably the usual size here but for us it just was enough. We had 4 bags and we had to shuffle things around whenever we opened one. Although no laundry detergent nor kitchen detergent (we supplied our own) it was still good. We also went to local Daiso (best stocked one so far on our trip) at Lotte Mart MAXX across street for done light camping dishes and cups (we brought our own chopsticks). Lotte Mart was also good for discounted sushi and sashimi after 7:30pm! The hotel loaned us a clothes dryer rack which was really appreciated. Our room was high up but try to get a room above 16 because those higher floors had 2 lifts whereas ours had only 1 lift and that meant we had to wait a bit sometimes to go up or down. I liked that you could open the tilt window to let in fresh air but we didn’t do that much. They provided 2 bottles of water every day and were able to clean our room daily if we wanted them to. Our toilet blocked twice during our stay but they have a janitor on call and he sorted it out within 10 mins. I think the first time was due to batteries going flat in the bidet remote controller as I saw him change the batteries (controller controls flushing). No toothbrushes but we had our own ones. Lots of good Korean restaurants too."

Gwangju W Lounge Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is in a great location. I was able to walk to the Uncheon Reservoir to see the Cherry Blossoms and find some great places to eat. The Gwangju National Museum is only a 15 min. Taxi ride away. The room has a steam cleaning machine to press or refresh your clothes! The only thing that was wrong with the room is the mattress is SUPER hard. I actually ended up sleeping on the couch in the room as it was much more comfortable. I only wish the mattress was softer and the stay would have been perfect. "
