Positive: The Holiday Inn Gwangju by IHG was in an excellent location. There were several restaurants and cafes nearby. My tour guide said that she met her clients at the hotel often for tour pickups. The staff was helpful and attentive when I asked questions. They called a taxi for me when it was time to leave and were courteous at checkout. The bathroom was spacious and the beds were comfortable. I especially liked that there was a small convenience store located inside the hotel. It was perfect for quick snack and small item purchases. Great idea!
Negative: If you decide to eat in the restaurant for breakfast and did not make breakfast reservations when booking your room, go to the desk first to let them know you want breakfast. I decided to get breakfast the first morning of my stay, was seated at a table, and then told I had not made breakfast reservations when I booked my room. I had to go to front desk to correct. Small inconvenience, but easily solved. Breakfast was excellent. Thank you.
Summary: I would recommend this hotel.

Positive: Max, the Concierge, was amazingly helpful. He went well beyond ordering taxis and answering questions. His help has lead to a successful trip back to Korea. The hotel rooms, the breakfast, and the artwork was wonderful.
Negative: There was absolutely nothing to dislike about the property.
Summary: For a joyful, fulfilled three days there is no better place to stay in Korea than the Holiday Inn in Gwangju.

Positive: The hotel is quite nice, located in a calm area with some restaurants nearby, but far from the city centre. The room was spacious and really clean, bed was comfy and staff really helpful. Parking lot worked really well. Would recommend.
Negative: Breakfast could offer some more options and we had an issue with the toilet on day one but was solved smoothly.
Summary: Very good hotel to explore the Southwest of the country

Positive: The breakfast buffet had a huge choice from English and American style to Traditional Korean. The staff went beyond helping me navigate the gluten free choices to daily getting some bread/ bun from the freezer and finding the pack of Gf cornflakes for me. The coffee was very good too. The room was clean, comfortable and spacious. The location was quite central and walking distance from the Metro. Also opposite Conference Centre.
Negative: There were a few things in the room that didn’t work - the USB port and the safe. We did let them know about them. Not a fan of Dove products for the bathroom either but understand that is a brand they probably use for all the Holiday Inn hotels. The carpet in the hallways are stained and dated and probably need replacing soon.
Summary: Great value with amazing buffet breakfast. Handy to Conference Centre and Metro( subway)

Positive: Great overall, one the stuff speaks frequent English, which helps a lot in place like gwangju. Despite an old-fashion interior, the room is pretty good. It’s near a 518 theme park if that’s what you intend to visit.
Negative: Far from the centre district of gwangju and the subway station and subway is usually less frequent like Seoul. The room looks like it’s from last century
Summary: Great choice despite distance to subway
