Find 4-Star Hotels in Jeonnam-Gwangju

Fantastic stay in Yeosu – Spacious villas and great service We enjoyed a wonderful 5-night stay (May 14–19, 2026) at the Marine Terrace Pool Villa. This 3-star property is perfectly located on a beautiful bay. We stayed in the Ocean 4 and Marine 4 villas; they were very spacious, featured 2 large beds, and had equipped kitchens. A real highlight was the private pool in each villa, which we could heat to 36°C—the perfect way to relax after days spent hiking and visiting temples. The only downside was that the main swimming pool wasn’t open yet during our visit. The 2 staff members were incredibly helpful and attentive throughout our stay. Communication via translation apps and gestures worked perfectly well—definitely better than our Korean! It was a pleasure to stay in such a setting; we were the only Western guests among several local Korean families. We highly recommend this resort for anyone visiting Yeosu!

This was one of our favorite stays in Korea. It is a very well-maintained Hanoi with the loveliest family running it. The room was very clean and there is a beautiful garden to enjoy (the garden is shared with the owners). Our hosts were very kind, friendly and nice - they drove us to the tea plantation and after we checked out, to the train station. We also had a delicious and healthy homemade breakfast which we enjoyed very much. Hosts were always there to help but were not intrusive. We really enjoyed our stay - thank you for your hospitality and we hope to come back again.

The facilities were incredibly clean, making for a very comfortable stay. The room was spotless, and the sauna was meticulously maintained by a staff member who constantly cleaned the fixtures. It’s the first time I've seen a sauna without a single hair! The cypress wood bath in the sauna smelled wonderful and was so refreshing. I used the sauna both on the evening of my arrival and the next morning – I wish there was a discount for repeat use! After the sauna, there are massage chairs on the same floor with an ocean view, and best of all, they're free! I lost count of how many times I used them. I also really enjoyed the breakfast. Some reviews mentioned a lack of variety, but I found it to be very substantial. They had Yeosu specialties like *gat-kimchi* and *gejang* (marinated crabs), along with other local dishes, and everything was delicious without being overly seasoned. It really made me feel like I was truly in Yeosu. Overall, the service was excellent. When I called the front desk about food waste from my late-night snack, they promptly came to collect it. And at checkout, I even received a cute cookie! Staying at Hidden Bay reminded me of some regional hotels in Japan. It truly feels like a hotel firmly rooted in local character. Thanks to this, I had a truly wonderful and relaxing time, and I'll definitely be back when I visit Yeosu again. (This is a genuine review from my own pocket!)

Very nicely located. All rooms are sea view. The check in was quick even for foreigners. The room and toilet were clean. The toilet has no toothbrush and paste. They provie a coffee sachet with a mug but no spoon to stir the coffee. Not sure why but the bed sheet have some long stitches. If you are muslim, the toilet has bidet which is great.

The view was stunning and the room was everything you need! There is a bus station by the hotel but the bus doesn't run often so we ended up using taxis more often.

Since there are no hotels above 4 stars in Mokpo, I moved to Yeongam and stayed there. Yeongam and Mokpo are so close that the location was the same, and the accommodation was clean. (The sheets were a little torn, but that's okay.) Cleanliness is the most important! There were no inconveniences related to the accommodation, but when I arrived on the day, there was a wedding at the hotel. The parking lot was full. There was a lot of double parking. The hotel definitely needs to improve this part. They park in front of the lobby, which is really I've never seen this before in all the hotels and resorts. Really, guests should use a different place than the parking lot. The hotel needs to manage it.

This hotel is in a good location to enjoy some entertainment. The convenience store (GS25) is on the first floor. The receptionist is great and friendly. Brand new facility.

I think it's a really good place except for a really long distance. First of all, the view of the sea in my room was so good, and the view was really a must anywhere. Especially the sunset is really beautiful, so I think almost all the guests came out to see the sunset ^^ It's a pity that there is no other place around this dormitory It's not suitable to eat, so it's better to use a convenience store or buy something in the hotel or at all.

It's clean and nice because it's just opened. The staff is also friendly!! We used the duplex, and the child had so much fun and liked having his own hideout. The internal facilities are a large refrigerator, induction washing machine (which we used a lot because it was summer). We didn't use breakfast because we also wanted to explore delicious restaurants. It was nice to be able to use the nearby mart, convenience store, bank, and Daiso on foot for everything we needed during our 3-night trip.^^ The man and woman who work at the CU convenience store right in front are so friendly that it was a better trip.

I like cleanliness and places. The clear air fell away from the big city and became healing.
