Namhansanseong Fortress played a key defensive role over the years. Now a historic attraction, you can just imagine some of the scenes its mighty walls have witnessed.

This Gwangju history-filled fortress is a good spot to kick off your day of sightseeing. There's loads to see in the vicinity, such as Lotte World, Lotte World Tower, and Olympic Park. Wander around at your leisure at Namhansanseong Fortress before making tracks to these other fine attractions.

8.8/10 Excellent! (312 reviews)

We enjoyed our stay! The room had a great view, was very clean and serviced every day. It is located conveniently for commuters as it is connected to the subway station. However, the elevators can get quite packed and take long during peak times.The staff was very friendly as well. Would stay here again!

8/10 Very Good! (1,409 reviews)

We had a pleasant stay at this hotel overall. The property was clean, well-maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout my visit. The location was extremely convenient, and the room itself was comfortable and spacious. The only real disappointments were the lack of air conditioning and the absence of a microwave in the room. The absence of air conditioning made the evenings a little uncomfortable, and a microwave would have been useful for quick reheating food. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel provided a great experience, and I would consider staying again - especially if these amenities are added in the future.
