The best Holiday Inn I've ever been to by far. Very reasonable rates, and well appointed rooms. Extremely modern and well-furnished, although I did notice some trim falling off, and paint peeling. Nothing that really bothered me though. Staff was very helpful, spoke fluent English, and were able to accommodate me last minute during a very busy holiday season. Continental... More

The Holiday Inn in Gwangju is located near the airport in an area that is being quickly built up. Currently, it is only about a 15 minute walk from shopping and restaraunts but it looks like a very large convention center is going in just across the street. Corporate rate for a room with a King bed was about $116... More

Brand new hotel with very clean and well designed rooms. Breakfast was good for Korea. Location is not perfect. However the subway station is close and taxis are cheap. I would like to mention the deputy manager, Mr. Young for his wonderful and friendly service.

Ideal for conferences as it faces opposite the road a large convention center. The Front Office Staff is very well trained, exceptional friendly and the Food & Beverages services can hardly be critizised. A very well managed... More

I stayed here for about a week while in town for a friend's wedding. I had a wonderful experience and was rather spoiled with all of the amenities. The fitness center, sauna, spa, and pool were very delightful. The staff was also quite friendly and very helpful. The only downside was paying for WIFI, which was quite expensive after a... More

As a first time traveler to South Korea I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness, amenities, and services at the Holiday Inn Gwangju, Korea. This hotel was every bit as good as the known luxury brand hotels. My room was modern, spacious, very clean, and after the long trip, very quiet. The breakfast buffet rivaled any of the best buffets... More
