Buk-gu, Gwangju hotel rooms at the Independent

"Only stayed for one night but the room was cozy, clean, and comfortable! It’s about a 15 minute walk from the bullet train station so be mindful of that if you’re hauling around luggage, the sidewalks are not luggage friendly. Overall, a great hotel in a great area with a lot of local food nearby! Would stay again for longer whenever I return to Korea. "

"Clean room"

"Very nice room and facilities. Loved it."

"The hotel is great, clean and organized. Staff were really nice! Will definitely go back. "

"Comfort n good"

"Very good facilities. Excellent value. Huge TV."

"Staff are very professional and kind. Rooms are generally quiet. The cleaning crew does a great job. Everything you need is here. Restaurants and stores are a bit far away but walking/taxi/bus/subway are your options. I like walking so it was fine. There are some parks to exercise nearby too. Rooms/carpets are getting a little wear but overall an excellent hotel, I would stay here again."

"The hallways could use new carpet, but the room was in good shape and clean."

"Brand new hotel with very friendly staffs and modern rooms. Location is great for light hikings and hot springs. It also close to Prehistoric stone hinge sites, old temples and fort walls."
