A very comfortable, generous place to stay. We loved Gwangju and the location of Guest145 was brilliant for us. The manageress is friendly and well organised, she was very patient with us when using google translate 😄. Highly recommend this accommodation.

Yo fellow backpackers!! I highly, highly recommend King's House to you! My room was 801호 대박하우스. This place is close to a Traditional market that allowed me to find good and not-so-pricey food. This is close to a bus that goes straight to Mudeungsan to hike. It's 20mins walk to Gwangju Train station as well. The staffs are so kind and they check up on me and my needs. I may have requested too much and they never complained but I am really thankful for the kindness. It's a good safe budget place with a nice view of Mudeungsan and sunrise so it's also relaxing. I feel like that it's a dormitory sized place. I would love to rent this place again when I return. just 30usd for 2 night and 3days. You have a comfry bed and your own bathroom!!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The place is spacious and very cheap. The rooms are clean and big, so everyone has its own space.
