Gwangju Madrid Hotel

Situated right opposite Songjeong station(KTX) and right beside 1913 market. Very convenient. Front desk staff was very kind to allow early check in with extra pay by charging 10 000W/hr. The room was huge. TV has korea Netflix, other channels need to pay. They provide Kerasys hair damaged hair shampoo and conditioner, which I consider as very rare and I loved it. They even provide facial mask, big bottle of skin toner and emulsion although they were Vietnamese brand. Last but not least, the free self service laundry!

Nov 5-8 2022 Couple The room was big, clean and comfortable. There is a jacuzzi long bath. The hotel is about 100M away from Gwangju High Speed station. U cannot see the hotel from the station so it is best u ask for direction. There is a tourist info centre at the train station. The hotel signage on the top of building is in Korean with a stylistic M in blue neon. Around the corner from the hotel is a street food area where u can find local food and cafes. If not, just walk to the station for Isaac Toast or Starbucks Next to the train station is the city subway and if u walk to the main road from the htoel there is a bus top where u can take bus number 2 (if I remembered correctly) to U Sqaure Bus Terminal to get on bus to Damyang Bamboo Forest or Baekyangsa Temple at Naejangsan. (Pls note to Damyang u take bus from same bus stop u alight. Think bus 313?? Pls ask. To Baekyangsa Temple u need to go into the U Sqaure Bus Terminal to buy a ticket and then proceed to the bus bay to board the bus) Bus 2 can also bring u to the foot of Mudeungsan to begin yr hikes. To the other areas in Gwangju u can take the subway.

Everything in the room was super clean. The room was really spacious, and the bed a bath tub were both huge. That made the stay super relaxing. The TV has access to Netflix and YouTube, so that was a nice addition. All toiletries you could need were provided as well as a few complimentary refreshments.

The room was quiet, clean and spacious. There are a variety of dining options nearby and the area was well-lit so it felt safe heading out for dinner even when it got dark. There is the KTX and metro station within walking distance and the Airport is also a few stops away by bus/metro.

Proximity to the train station, free wifi and free laundry.
