Top Gwangju Folk Museum Hotel Reviews

CS Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The surrounding area is full of good food options and within a short walk to the subway station (Sangmu). I think the location is great since it’s basically equidistant to the KTX, Bus Terminal, and Airport. The breakfast is a buffet style and has excellent variety. The menu changes every day, so there’s always something new to try. When I stay in Gwangju, I prefer to stay here."

ACC Design Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Clean, and helpful staff"

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."
