Palace Tourist Hotel

Great place , however the hallway smells like cigar, then the light on the room doesn't have a switch to turn it off making it hard for me to sleep

This hotel is located in a good location and is reasonably priced. …

Accommodation period: April 2024Reservation grade: Standard doubleAssigned room: 5F*Since I spend about 150 nights a year both in Japan and overseas, this is mostly a memo for myself. The main things to focus on are bathing, gym, and laundry. I don't really care about cleanliness.■OverviewThe hotel itself is very spacious and clean for this price. However, although the location in the middle of the downtown area is good, it is far from the airport and KTX station, which are the bases for accessing Gwangju, and Gwangju's main tourist spots are scattered all over the place. The problem is that it is a little far away. Personally, I find it painful to only take a shower. It's a good hotel, but if I were to go to Gwangju again, I would choose another hotel.■LocationIn the middle of downtown. There are plenty of dining and shopping options nearby. It takes about 10 minutes on foot from Geumnamro 4-ga subway station. Depending on the time of day, the road from the station to the hotel can be crowded, so it might be a bit difficult if you have large luggage. In addition, Gwangju's airport and KTX station (Gwangju Songjeong Station) are in the suburbs, far from the city center where the hotel is located, so if you come from outside the city by plane or KTX, it will take about 30 minutes to get to the nearest Geumnamro 4-ga Station. A little inconvenient.■Indoor-WidthI was surprised at how spacious it was. It's too good to be alone.-sceneryThe hotel is located in the middle of the downtown area, so the view isn't that great, but it's clean and has a feeling of openness.-WifiAround 20Mb/s-bathtubNone, shower only-Hot water temperatureNo problem, piping hot water comes out.-Power of hot waterSlightly weak-Bed hardnessSlightly stiff (personally no problem)-refrigeratorA small, 1.5 liter plastic bottle can barely fit in.-Security boxnone-OutletIt's next to the desk.

He responds with dignity.■Others-The hotel entrance is a little difficult to find. Please be careful as it is hidden among the surrounding stores.・Since it was cheap, I didn't have high expectations, but the size and cleanliness of the room was at a high level. A level where even women can stay without any problems.・If you go south on the street in front of the hotel, you will see a small rotary with bars clustered around it.・Gwangju is said to be famous for tteokgalbi, but there are very few tteokgalbi shops in the city area around the hotel, and tteokgalbi alley around the KTX station is more plentiful.

It seems like an old hotel, but it was nice and there were good restaurants nearby. …
