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.
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

We booked 2 rooms as we were a family of 5, they were good enough to provide us with connecting rooms and a free extra bed. The rooms were a bit small but they were clean and comfortable. The hotel is not very close to major tourist sites, but taxi is affordable, and there are closeby buses that can be accessed as well.
Not many shops or restaurants within walking distance

Close to the train station, it was a spacious, clean room and the staff were lovely. There was netflix on the TV which is great because so many hotels force you to watch their crappy paid channels. Big thanks to Mr Max Lee at the concierge. He was so helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Bonus of having a convenience shop attached to the hotel too.
I wish I could stay longer.

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!
Nothing. Everything was great. I wish I could've stayed longer.

It’s walking distance (opposite) to KimDaeJung Convention Centre. Metro is also nearby. There is also convenience store next to the lobby. We loved the room as it’s cosy & comfortable during the trip.

Very modern, clean and comfortable. Staff were friendly. The pool was very good and well maintained. Location is also good and only a short walk from the subway.
A little expensive in my opinion, especially as breakfast is at an extra cost.

I liked the great selection for breakfast to choose from. There are lots of Korean and European breakfast options. I liked the quality and quantity. I liked the special wall clock in the lobby.

They upgraded us to the biggest suite, which was a surprising touch. We checked in late at around 8.30pm where most restaurants were closing due to the covid restrictions. The staff helped us to order food delivery (fried chicken). Beds were comfy.
location - i assume this area is mainly for business travellers, not a lot of shops around.
