Top Nam-gu Hotel Reviews

ACC Design Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Clean, and helpful staff"

Gwangju Aura Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location is very near the KTX terminal so it's convenient for travelers. If you drive, they have parking which they will take your keys as soon as you check in. They do serve breakfast but I didn't visit the restaurant. There is a coffee shop attached, and Edeya and Starbucks are both within a block of hotel. Very clean rooms and comfortable beds."

UTOP Boutique Hotel & Residence

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our 6 day stay. The washing machine and air-con worked so well. There were no strange noises and the coil bed was so comfortable. We slept well every night. The bathroom had a bidet which was helpful. The room itself was probably the usual size here but for us it just was enough. We had 4 bags and we had to shuffle things around whenever we opened one. Although no laundry detergent nor kitchen detergent (we supplied our own) it was still good. We also went to local Daiso (best stocked one so far on our trip) at Lotte Mart MAXX across street for done light camping dishes and cups (we brought our own chopsticks). Lotte Mart was also good for discounted sushi and sashimi after 7:30pm! The hotel loaned us a clothes dryer rack which was really appreciated. Our room was high up but try to get a room above 16 because those higher floors had 2 lifts whereas ours had only 1 lift and that meant we had to wait a bit sometimes to go up or down. I liked that you could open the tilt window to let in fresh air but we didn’t do that much. They provided 2 bottles of water every day and were able to clean our room daily if we wanted them to. Our toilet blocked twice during our stay but they have a janitor on call and he sorted it out within 10 mins. I think the first time was due to batteries going flat in the bidet remote controller as I saw him change the batteries (controller controls flushing). No toothbrushes but we had our own ones. Lots of good Korean restaurants too."
