Palace Tourist Hotel

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."
