It is a very comfortable and clean hotel with spacious rooms and a very good location in the middle of the most lively part of the city and main shopping area with lots of restaurants. Even though we didn’t hear any noise from the street at all. It’s also near main tourist sights. There is also a nice running trail along the nearby river canal.

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!

Dasomchae was a wonderful stay. The hanok is well kept and clean, and there is a lot of attention to detail. For example, the materials of the rooms and the bedding were high quality cotton and the name of the hanok was embroidered on it. The location is also fairly convenient as it's near the major train station and food is walking distance. You are also able to borrow a bicycle for free, although I didn't have time to try it. The owner Jae-in is very kind and has a fun personality. If you love the traditional hanok style stay, Dasomchae is full of love.

Room was very spacious and clean. It has a double door that blocked out noise from outside. Besides a long desk with laptop to use for free, there was also a coffee table with an armchair and stool. There was a LG Tromme Stylus for use in the room to dry and sanitised clothes.

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.

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.
