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.

Super convenient for both the KTX train station and the airport. Excellent Korean breakfast buffet where even a vegetarian like me could get her tummy full enough to last most of the day. And such a comfortable room that I regretted only booking one night, and not being able to enjoy it more.

The location is perfect since it's just across ACC (Asian Culture Centre) where a lot is happening - it's not too loud though. The accommodation itself if clean and has everything you need. The common area is great and the rooftop terrace is perfect. The owner is also very kind. The room is great in general and it was nice to have a "private" bathroom to the room.

I had a wonderful time at Pedro's Guesthouse. Pedro is a inspiring and kind person. He and his friends made my Gwangju trip special. The location has busstops and trainstation nearby. There are a lot of good local Restaurants nearby, but if you want to enjoy a delicious steak and pasta, go to "The Chef" Restaurant.

Clean and modern, with loads of conveniences in the room and a huge TV that you can login to Netflix on. Good location, right by lots of nice areas and the subway station (3-5 min walk). Free coffee and toast and sweets downstairs. I only encountered one staff member but he was awesome, let me check in early, helped me with my washing and gave me a vitamin drink when I checked out.
