I really enjoyed my three-night stay at Hotel Vantt. My room was comfortable, cosy and very clean. I was happy to have a bath tub as well. There was a mosquito screen on the big window. The television was the biggest I’ve ever seen in a hotel room! WiFi worked well. The fridge was very cold and the hairdryer worked fine. The cleaning staff were so nice. They helped me to choose which programme on the washing machine was best for a quick wash. Also they do an excellent job cleaning the room and common areas. It was an extra bonus to have tea, coffee, hot/cold water and sweets. I really liked the fact that there is also bread that you can toast for a quick breakfast. It was easy to arrive and depart as the number 9 bus goes to/from the Asia Culture Centre nearby to Gwangju bus terminal (U Square), taking about 20 minutes. The hotel took care of my bag after check out. Thank you to all the team for a happy stay in Gwangju. Recommended!

Staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was clean and had a good shower. There was free water and drinks and snacks in a self-serve room which was generous. Good to have secure parking in the city. And free access to a washing machine on our travels. There were restaurants, cafes, bars, bakeries and convenience stores in the local neighborhood and easy access to the metro.

The mattress was really hard but also covered in a protective plastic layer so not very comfortable.

A nice renovated hotel, that deserves a lot more stars than only two. The staff is very friendly and exceptionaly accommodating. Room was big and cleaned every day. Bathrobes and slippers available as well as more coat hangers. There is a washing mashine and dryer at disposal for free along with detergent in the basement. And of course there is a snack bar (bottled water, coffee, toast, sweets) in a room next to the reception. Location is close to the subway and there are a lot of bars and restaurants in a walking distance. At the check-out you even get a vitamin drink. Would definitely stay there again - good value for money!

Can't think of anything.

One of the best hotels I've stayed in, in Korea - exceptional value for money and certainly deserves more than two stars. It was in a perfect location, the staff were unbelievably kind and helpful, plus the little communal area near reception was open early morning, well stocked with free things to eat and drink till late evening. The whole hotel smelled nice all the time and I don't think I've ever been in a budget hotel that changed the bed linen, towels every single day. It was a pleasure staying here and I certainly will stay here again. Highly recommended.

Nothing!

When just checking the hotel the staff offered to carry my luggage into the hotel. The check in went fast and the main information got even pointed out with a written sign in English. The staff even welcomed me every day with an English phrase. The room was big enough and had even charging cables as well as a wireless charger and cleaning amenities. Even while staying at Downtown it was calm during the night.

Due to rain the floors in the hotel were totally slippery and in the room and bathroom it was just a general thing when wearing socks. But with the offered slippers it was better.

Ever since I found this place last year (summer 2022), I decided that I would always return here if traveling to Gwangju. The location is superb, on a quiet side road in between a young, hopping food/cafe/shopping district and the stately ACC plaza with the iconic fountain and Mudeungsan presiding over it in the background. Geumnamro, the street that remembers the 1980 democratic struggle, mainlines into this area, as do all the buses and the #1 (green) subway line. It's a 30-minute walk along Gwangju River to Yangdong Market. Walk across the river and you'll run into sweet, historic Yangnim-dong with its cafes, missionary hill, and Sajik-gil row of live acoustic music joints...and observatory up in Sajik Park where you can see amazing sunsets. As for the facilities themselves, they are spotless and well-serviced, with large windows that are somehow nice even if they look out at delapidated concrete building sides. There's limitless, 24-hour coffee, toast, and water in the lobby and completely free laundry (washer AND dryer) with detergent provided in the basement. I'd be curious to see if there's any better all-around value anywhere else.

There's nothing I didn't like about this place - please treat it like home if you go.

The hotel, although tucked in a quiet lane, has a great location. It is just a stone's through away from cultural sites like the Democracy Square and the Jeongil Building. It is also just around the corner from a large selection of restaurants, cafes and boutiques, making it very convenient for travelers. There is a free laundry service in the basement and the room offers a range of amenities for ex. a massive TV and a dry-cleaning closet. Everything was spotless. The day-receptionist was very friendly and sweet and allowed us to check-in early.

Rooms were rather small. The toilet could be repaired and would be more convenient if the shower had a separate cubicle to prevent the bathroom from flooding while taking a shower.

Everything, the owner is very nice. Looked up information for me on the internet. Small kitchen with bread and koffie, juice. Its very clean and has good beds. Use of laundryroom for free. Very close to ACC, artstreet, musicstreet, penguinvillage and busstop to the mountain. Stayed in Gwangju and hotel longer than I had intended. Hotel was cosy and there is lots to do in Gwangju.

Hotel Vannt in Gwanju was a real surprise. We only stayed one night, so we did not have much expectations and yet we were so impressed by the high tech available in the room. Clothe dryer and gigantic gigantic tv screen ( not that we used it..) amongst other things. Super clean too :) The pillows were the only drawback, a bit too high for me. It is well located near art center and culinary area with its many bars and restaurants (Minsokchon is highly recommended). There is a car park facility on site, 24h fresh coffee bean and toast downstairs and a very fast bandwidth connection.

The pillows were the only drawback, a bit too high for me.

Clean and modern, with loads of conveniences in the room and a huge TV that you can login to Netflix on. Good location, right by lots of nice areas and the subway station (3-5 min walk). Free coffee and toast and sweets downstairs. I only encountered one staff member but he was awesome, let me check in early, helped me with my washing and gave me a vitamin drink when I checked out.

Nothing, I had a great experience.
