Guangzhou hotels & places to stay

I have always stay in Guangzhou Hotel for almost 11 years. It was a great place - great location BUT... there is a major renovation in the facade of the hotel. Very dusty and for every construction there are a lot of insects flying around. And I am super afraid of disease brought about by insects. Other than that, the HOTEL is generally my favorite hotel in Guangzhou..

Its always exciting when i check in at Landmark Hotel in Guangzhou,the place was so inspiring and lovely specially at night.i am always fascinated by the cruising ships restaurant at the river with lots guests enjoying the cruise.How lovely it is with its colorful lights and nice sounds. It is so comfortable doing some business at the hotel and very accessible where ever you want to go in guangzhou.

Had been waiting for the link to review Fu Ho Hotel. Had too many email addresses I didn't realize it was sent to my QQ email address. Anyway, I like the twin bed unit I got from Fu Ho Hotel, room 719. It got almost everything: flat TV, two comfortable beds, towels, cabinet. As far as I saw, no refrigerator. Check-in was fast. I just got scared this one time I plugged my laptop charger, for unknown reasons, it made a tiny sound of electrocuting, followed by a smell of burnt metal and total blackout in my room (although the TV stayed on); I think it happened one day before my check-out. Good thing the service was fast; after calling the receptionist, a technician arrived to check things out instantly. In any case, the whole time I was in Guangzhou, I only stayed in this hotel from June 1st to 8th. It's definitely right at the heart of Guangzhou as the tourist spots are nearby. I plan to stay here again if I get the chance to come back to Guangzhou for the 3rd time. :-)

Hlife Hotel is one of the best hotels I ever stayed in Guangzhou. Located at Kingold Century Plaza and just opposite Grand Hyatt hotel. Everything feels really new and clean. Great location at a nice area of new town, just few mins walking distance to Zhujiang New Town Station inside G.T. Land Plaza. Great service!! The people at Hlife are SUPER NICE! 1. When I checked into my room, the shower room frosted glass door was not tightly fixed in place and couldn't shut properly. Called the reception counter, in less than 2 mins, the technician came to fix it. 2. Big Thank You to Ethan (Hotel receptionist) , he helped us to arrange a delivery of a parcel to our agent in Dongguan. Even went down and deliver it himself. And also called a cab for us to the airport. Really appreciate it. 3. Every morning I walked out my room, everyone smiles at you and said "Good Morning". I'll definitely recommend this place to others, and will definitely come back when I'm in town.

i visit guangzhou almost once a month, and i always stay in this hotel. this is my 2nd review. location the location is not at the center of guangzhou (like tianhe, etc), and is in the haizhu district. but i still love the location since it is surrounded by lots of restaurants and shopping places, and is not in a touristy area. mcdonalds and kfc are right beside the hotel. and there are several chinese restaurants worth a try. skip the breakfast buffet and have dimsum and tea at the chinese restaurant beside the hotel (near 7-11). another must-try is the chinese hot-pot restaurant near mcdonalds. you will need to wait for a table though if you want to eat at peak hours. with the newly constructed metro station right below the hotel, it is now very easy to go around guangzhou. i always take the metro from the airport to the hotel, even if my flight arrives at 10pm. way cheaper and faster than taking a taxi. the airport express bus (#3 if i'm not mistaken) also drops off / picks up passengers near the hotel. rooms the rooms here are hit-and-miss. if you get the newly renovated rooms, you are in luck because they are really nice. the interiors are modern and very clean. can be compared to other more expensive 4-star hotels in guangzhou. do not be tempted though with their cheapest rooms that go on sale at agoda. i got a room for 300-350rmb only, but they gave me their oldest room - dingy and musty - with very old furnishings. tiles are broken and dirty, clogged shower heads, moldy bathtubs, dirty ceilings, old toilet seats, you name it. i just took this in stride since i know i got the room at a promo rate. good thing i stayed only one night, and that it only happened to me once. but next time i will definitely get the upgraded room. value this hotel for me still ranks as one of the best value-for-money hotels in guangzhou. that single incident will not dissuade me from staying in this hotel again.

booked 2 bedroom apartment with open layout concept. 1 door act as divider between 2 queen size beds upstairs to create "2 bedrooms" - no privacy though. Very spacious & clean apartment with washing machine cum dryer & washing powder. Excellent location - 8 mins walk to Gongyuanqian metro station from apartment For arrival, took airport taxi to apartment at RMB151. For departure, took direct blue line 2 from Gongyuanqian station to airport at RMB7 only abt 1 hr journey. Food & snacks - plenty of choices within 200 m walk from apartment. Tried their Xin Yu Lou chinese restaurant (located at 8th floor of same building as apartment) for breakfast dim sum and dinner. Their dim sum is cheap & good; but Chinese dinner not so fantastic. Taking lift is really a long wait - average 10 mins wait & everytime crowded especially boarding from 1st floor. Used service/cargo lift is sometimes faster. Will stay again for my future visit to Guangzhou.

I travelled from Hong Kong and used the high speed train service from Shenzhen into Guangzhou East rail station. Hotel is easy to reach by 10 minutes walk from Gongyuanqian station beating the frequent traffic jams. Check in efficient, room well appointed and quiet, internet easy to connect. There is a feeling of comfort and safety in the hotel surrounded by the busy city of Guangzhou. It is my preferred hotel in Guangzhou.

We checked in at 3 am on 13 January 2018 .. The reception was a young chap. He knew very little English but he tried his best to translate using the phone. The check in was fast and smooth. He even guided us to our room. Room number 3130. The room was perfect. We got a suite so there was a partition. The kitchen has a stove on it, if you dont bring you pots and pants, u can borrow it from the reception (for free). The hotel is connected below at basement of the hotel to the metro called ( GONGYUANXIAN) so from the airport, if u happens to take the taxi because the timing is too late for public transport, just tell the taxi driver to go to the that train station. the next morning we met the new reception guy called Circle and he actually help us all the way from the second day to the last day. He was a great help to us. Nomo appartment has the best reception service and also Circle did make our trip in Guangzhou a nice and memorable one.

i and my wife travel to guangzhou very often but this is our firsf time stayed in holiday inn shifu hotel. i have to say it is one of the best hotel in guangzhou. the rooms are clean and spacious, service is no. 1 and the most important of all is the great location. it is near to a shopping and dining district so you won't be bore at all. it is highly recommented if you are going to look for a hotel in guangzhou.

I like this hotel very much for its location, service and cleanliness. If you are coming from the airport best to take the taxi as it is in a small road and not so easy to find for first timers. However, it is just a few minutes walk from subway station Gangding. Just walk down the small road in front of the hotel, turn right when you see the blue signboard showing the way to the subway station, walk round the small mall and the entrance/exit A to the subway is right there in front. There are many malls for hps, pcs and electronics around that area, and many restaurants including KFC and McDonalds if you have to have them. The hotel is in an area away from main roads and traffic and crowds so it is a nice, peaceful and very safe area. The hotel's employees were generally courteous and helpful and the reception staff spoke decent English. I left a small tip (RMB10) for housekeeping daily, and was delighted to receive sweet thank you notes daily from the housekeeping staff. I was impressed that he/she wrote in both Mandarin and good English! Room was big, clean and on the 19th floor but there was only view of adjacent buildings. I got a nice king size bed with a firm mattress which is the kind that I like. The aircon is good but becomes louder when blasting cool air and then quieten down until the next blast. As my aircon unit at home is kinda like that I am used to such noise and therefore not the least bothered by it. Other that that the room is quiet and there is no audible noise from outside. The separate shower and toilet are clean and decent sized, and the room has everything else that I need. I think that this hotel is really value for money and I would recommend this hotel for location and comfort. I will definitely stay here again if I return to Guangzhou.

I was very sceptical about this hotel when I booked as I have stayed in many such hotels in china and was never satisfied BUT this hotel is very different. First , location was very good as it is link up with Liu hua wholesale and there is an underground food street and fashion wholesale underground as well , so you can get good food and good last minute shopping. Second, the hotel is clean and comfortable even the standard room. I can't believe this as the price was reasonable and the Guangzhou railway and metro line is very close. Third and the most important the staffs were polite and patience to understand your requirement. I would strongly praise the concierge for helping me and giving me recommendation on the places that I should go as well as the courier delivery that was sent to me. I will make this my permanent place to stay each time I go to Guangzhou for my business trip. Thank you so much all the staffs of Liu Hua hotel.

All the better Guangzhou hotels double their rates and more during the CantonFair. I have the advantage of being able to avoid those dates. The Leeden is a relatively new hotel in the newest (New Town) section of Gouangzhou. You can visit your rich friends at five star hotel in a short for a third of what they are paying. And you get four stars, plus a full sized indoor pool, workout facilities, a good buffet breakfast, and unusual in China, fast elevator service.

My trip was Jakarta-Guangzhou-Hongkong-Guangzhou-Jakarta.. After i entered hongkong and want to go back to Guangzhou with high-speed train. The immigration staff said that my China Visa has been used, i am shocked. I couldnt return. i must apply China Visa in Hongkong. All my IDs, credit cards,and belongings in Guangzhou! And i dont have much money. Only HK300. The day after, I called TIMMY HOTEL and asking for their help to packing all my belongings inside my room and check-out as well. And they did very excellent !!! My friend came to pick-up and deliver all my belongings from TIMMY hotel guangzhou to hongkong. Thank you so much for your help (TIMMY’s hotel staff and management) For tidying and packing all my belongings from my room, and prepare it to deliver to Hongkong without any loss. This is the best service i’ve ever had while in travel. THANK YOU ! And now, I know that HONGKONG still not part of CHINA, eventhough China claimed it.

I've already spent some time at Royal Tulip and I can consider it one of the best hotel in Guangzhou regarding the quality/price ratio. Rooms are clean and comfortable, the breakfast buffet is generous and the facilities like the spa, swimming pool and fitness room are appreciated. The staff at the lobby is kind and helpful. I must admit that during my last visit I had a bad service from the laundry because I asked a pair of my trousers to be cleaned but I got them back with the same dirty spots they had before. Anyway apart this, I consider my staying at Royal Tulip a good time.

Considering that most hotel rooms in nearby Hong Kong are high-cost tiny cubicles, the prices at Yingbin are stunningly low. It's a 5-star hotel in elegant facilities and accoutrements. Our room was huge -- about 325 sq ft. All the finishings were in marble, with updated bathrooms. Very comfortable and huge bed. Excellent location -- we were able to walk easily to Beijing Road, and the historical areas of Liwan -- not to mention falling out of the hotel into shoping, shopping, shopping and eating, eating, eating: both the specialities of Guangzhou. It also has the tremendous convenience in its compound (lovely, by the way) of an bus service hourly to Hong Kong-Kowloon and Hong Kong airport (saving the traveler the schlepp back to the train station and then further transport to HK airport). Compare the price of this formerly government hotel for high-level guests to international chains -- it's less than a quarter of their prices! For us, the place was excellent.

Good Hotel with all amenities. In China language is always a problem. But people in the reception were super helpful and well spoken. They spoke fluent English. I should mention the name of one staff in reception, Mr. Hugh Luo. He helped us translate things, find addresses and places, mark things on the Chinese map. He himself collected our bag during check out and made sure all bags are on the taxi. I forgot the name of other staff who was also very helpful. Also, the room service and cleaning lady was wonderful in helping us. About room. It is good, not outstanding. As Hampton by Hilton they should have the locker/safe which was not there. Washroom, amenities were good. They also changed my room immediately when I complained it has no view. I found in most Chinese 5 of 4 stars even do not have good continental breakfast so not going to comment on that. This is wheer all Chinese hotels need to have a good look for international guests. But perfect location.

I had stay and visit to the Osotto at Guangzhou town last year, which was excellent for both hotel room and the spa experience. Infact this baiyun Osotto customer service was below standard. The midnight front desk manager name ms keh was very rude and provide no solution while we finish our spa at 4am and request us to went up to our room to get our credit card to settle the spa bill. First of all, the same scenerio happen in haizho Osotto and we allow to transfer bill to room and settle together while check out. Instead this time, we need to went up and went down again to reception middle of the night and the Mgr was rude and bad customer service. If Osotto do not carry themselves as the best spa in Guangzhou, such standard can be maintain.

I love the location as it is 500 metres away from the train station. This is an area where expats and the rich live, the neighbourhood is very calm and peaceful unlike other parts of Guangzhou which is usually a little more chaotic. The street below is full of restaurants and bar but the price is on the high side. I will stay here again because of the peace and security of the place and the value for money

This is already our second time to stay at Fortune Hotel. Here are a few of the things I love about the hotel 1. location The hotel is strategically located at the heart of Tianhe district. One can easily go to the hotel using the metro station. It is just 2 minutes away from Gangding Station. There are a lot of malls, convenience stores and groceries around the area. 2. Cleanliness and Comfort The hotel is well maintained. It is a bit pricey compared to the other hotels but it's worth it. It is clean and comfortable to stay in. 3. Free buffet breakfast They offer a lot of choices in their buffet. The taste is satisfactory. 4. Free shuttle to/from the Canton Fair My family visits Guangzhou mainly because of the Canton Fair. It is really convenient that the hotel offers free shuttle service to/from the Canton Fair Complex. You just have to refer at their schedule and take note of the parking area slot for the afternoon ride back at the hotel. The only problem that I find in this hotel is that the staff cannot understand English. It is very hard to communicate requests and other needs. Since the hotel gets a lot of foreign non-chinese speaking visitors, I suggest that they train their employees to communicate in English properly. Overall, I am happy with my stay in Fortune Hotel. I will definitely be back again! :)

I've been in 9 different countries and I really satisfied with this hotel in Guangzhou, China. 1. All the staffs i met (Receptionist, Hotel translator, Guard) are very friendly, polite and nice. The Hotel Translator is Ms. Becky, a very nice girl. I hope you can see this review Becky. 2. The location is 1 km far from nearest subway/metro station, 6 km far from canton tower, 18km from Baima market, 40km far from airport. So i had to spend a lot for taxi, but anyway Guangzhou is very big so it is ok for me. They are many small restaurants, groceries store nearby. Especially i met a man from France, we can share a taxi from Hotel to Guangzhou South Railway station (on the way to Shenzhen) 3. I paid about 195 usd for 1 room, 3 nights, with breakfasts and i think that price is ok to compare with quality Next time, when i go Guangzhou, I think I will continue to book this hotel. Thank you.

always stay at this hotel in guangzhou. well located within easy reach of business centre, markets, food outlets etc. there is a convenience store and bank just outside the hotel. taxis are readily available. staff speak a very good share of english. rooms are nice and clean and very affordable. there is a secure safety deposit box room next to reception for all your valuables.

Living in China and visit guangzhou for at least a week every month. This location is perfect especially for a foriegn who cannot speak chinese well. I know i wont have to worry about food or shopping since many restaurants and shops have become accustomed to the many foriegners who visit this area. I often don't arrive back at my hotel until late and it's good to know i wont have to worry about finding late night food. The staff is very accomdating as well. Multiple instances they went above and beyond. Staying for weeks on end its a must to have a washing machine so this location really perfect for me. Its tough to find great customer service, but its something you will find here.

hotel room is good, nice place to stay.. just few minute to railway station.. easy access to few places.. make sure to print or screenshot the chinese language, it is because most of them dont understand english language.. they always google translate even to talk to u.. wifi is limited as china government block few apps, eg. whatsapp, instagram, facebook (not because of wifi signal weak).. but wechat ok, yahoo or other website.. preferable to use your own simcard / internet to access for whatsapp, instagram or facebook.. overall is ok, nice place.. im lovin it..canton city..

I’ve booked twin bed room and double bed room. Stay there for a night so that it is easy for us to get to the airport the next day. The staff are friendly and helpful in helping us to book the cabs to airport. The hotel is located right opposite Guangzhou Railway East station, convenient when you travel with train. There is no washroom in the lobby so it is inconvenient when we need to go for urgent nature call after you have checked out or while waiting for check in. Perhaps this is to avoid public from misuse the facility. The rooms are clean, spacious, and cozy. The downside is that it doesn’t has a bar fridge in the room. Ji hotel has nice and spacious lobby lounge for you to wait for cab or friends. Overall, this is a good place and I would consider to stay here again.
