Top Gwangju Folk Museum Hotel Reviews

ACC Design Hotel

8/10 Good

"This hotel is in a great location in the middle of the ACC shopping district and close to the city square and art district. Lots of tragic history to learn about right across the street at the 5.18 archive. If you’re from the US, you have to try the LG clothing styler! It’s an amazing appliance!"

UTOP Boutique Hotel & Residence

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our 6 day stay. The washing machine and air-con worked so well. There were no strange noises and the coil bed was so comfortable. We slept well every night. The bathroom had a bidet which was helpful. The room itself was probably the usual size here but for us it just was enough. We had 4 bags and we had to shuffle things around whenever we opened one. Although no laundry detergent nor kitchen detergent (we supplied our own) it was still good. We also went to local Daiso (best stocked one so far on our trip) at Lotte Mart MAXX across street for done light camping dishes and cups (we brought our own chopsticks). Lotte Mart was also good for discounted sushi and sashimi after 7:30pm! The hotel loaned us a clothes dryer rack which was really appreciated. Our room was high up but try to get a room above 16 because those higher floors had 2 lifts whereas ours had only 1 lift and that meant we had to wait a bit sometimes to go up or down. I liked that you could open the tilt window to let in fresh air but we didn’t do that much. They provided 2 bottles of water every day and were able to clean our room daily if we wanted them to. Our toilet blocked twice during our stay but they have a janitor on call and he sorted it out within 10 mins. I think the first time was due to batteries going flat in the bidet remote controller as I saw him change the batteries (controller controls flushing). No toothbrushes but we had our own ones. Lots of good Korean restaurants too."

HOTEL Yeogiuhtte Gwangju Station

8/10 Good

"Pretty great for the price, though the area is a bit rough around the edges in appearance but I didn’t feel unsafe at all. There’s a shop next door for easy snacks and there’s a few bus stops within walking distance as well as a major station a farther walk away. Only complaint would be the nice looking waterfall shower head needed cleaning and didn’t spray properly. Also the robes provided are not made for larger folks. Overall pretty great."
