Top 5.18 Democracy Square Hotel Reviews

BREEV GWANGJU by LOTTE HOTELS(formerly Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Gwangju)

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast service is very good."

Palace Tourist Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was perfect for a quick overnight stay. It is located in the heart of shopping district in Gwangju so there are many areas to walk to. It was a 10 min walk from a metro stop too. So many eateries and shops nearby. Room was quiet and had all the amenities including tv, ac, blow dryer, kettle with coffee and necessary toiletries. Hotel offered free access to a gym in the same building but it was closed due to holiday. It was unfortunate as I was looking forward to use it. Overall, I was happy with my stay and will consider staying again if I am in Gwangju, South Korea."

HOTEL Yeogiuhtte Gwangju Station

10/10 Excellent

"Was great for a few nights stay in Gwangju, easy access to public transport and affordable. The room itself was clean and had all the amenities I needed. Was useful having a microwave and utensils on each floor. And I really appreciated the free Netflix and Disney plus. Would definitely stay again."

Vantt Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Close to subway and important historic buildings. The owner allowed me to check in early as well as gave me a room upgrade. Tow thumbs up!"
