Top tips for finding Gwangju hostel deals

  • There are quite a few advantages to staying in Gwangju hostels during your time in this city rich with history and culture. Staying in hostels, especially if you’re traveling alone, is a great way to meet fellow travelers and discover the new city together. For example, if you decide to stay at the Oasita Hostel, you can expect to meet fellow travelers and be able to walk to attractions like the Gwangju Art Street and Nine Gallery. Another option would be Byulbam hostel, which allows you to be close to other attractions like the Yangdong market. Another advantage to staying in Gwangju hostels over hotels is not just meeting other travelers, but also saving a little money on accommodation so you can spend a little more on attractions, food, or shopping.
  • One benefit of choosing Gwangju hostels is that most are conveniently located in the city center area where many of the cool things to do in Gwangju are located. One example is the Gwangju Guest House 145 - Hostel. This hostel is close to attractions like the Gwangju Art Street as well as the well-known and nearby neighborhood of Yangrim-dong.
