Set within 1.9 km of Gwangju Art Street and 2.2 km of Asian Culture Complex in Gwangju, Byulbam Guesthouse offers accommodation with seating area. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and full-day security, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The guest house features family rooms.

Everything was pleasant here - the manager, sanitation, facilities, and the whole atmosphere. The building is very clean inside but also somehow old in appearance, preserving the modern style of Korean houses built in the last century. The main travel destinations of the city - ACC / 5.18 Democracy Square, Chungjang-ro are accessible by bus right from here. I have to visit Gwangju several times next year, and I will definitely choose here again.

Gwangju Stadium is 6.3 km from the guest house, while Gwangju Student independence Movement Memorial Hall is 6.4 km from the property. The nearest airport is Gwangju Airport, 12 km from Panda Guesthouse.

The room was very tidy and the bed comfortable, the bathroom was clean and big, the kitchen and common space was very clean and nice and the breakfast was delicious. The owners were both very kind and came to check up on everything, explained all. The location was ideal, right next to the ACC and plenty of nice cafés and things to visit, there were helpful maps and suggestions for visits. It was a lovely stay, and Gwangju is a very nice city that I liked a lot!

Boasting garden views, Dasomchae Hanok stay provides accommodation with balcony, around 4.8 km from Kimdaejung Convention Center. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The guest house features rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi.

The guest house looks exactly as it in the photo, a pretty traditional house with a cute little garden. The owner welcomed me friendly and introduced me good Gwangju food and restaurants (strongly recommend 떡갈비/Korean beef hamburg steak at 세송정/Saesongjeong, a local famous restaurant just 5 minutes walk from the guesthouse). The room is clean, tidy, and bright, with all basic facilities. Access to the guest house is very convenient about 15 minutes walk from the Songjeong KTX station and 10 minutes walk from the Subway Songjeong Park Station. Great accommodation, definitely recommend here for a comfortable rest in Gwangju. Thank you 사장님, best wishes to your family and cute daughter

    While it was located a bit further from the city center than expected, everything else was much better than my expectation. Room was clean, quiet, spacious, and had even a styler.

    The guest house is so cute and and the hosts here were so kind and responded quickly to any questions/problems that I had (We communicated in person in Korean and over text in English). They were so understanding when I arrived a little late for my check-in, and even upgraded me to a better room when I got there. :) My room was clean and comfortable, and great for the low price. (I stayed in a dorm-style room with another person!) The common room is also very nice and spacious if you want to hang out there. I would stay here again!
