Reviews and Ratings
I booked this hotel to explore Guangzhou, but it turned out to be quite far from the city center. While the room was clean and the bed comfortable, I faced significant communication issues with staff who struggled with English. Breakfast was crowded and not very appealing. On the upside, the hotel offered a shuttle service for the Canton Fair, which was a nice touch. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this hotel for tourists looking for convenient access to attractions.

Overall, the hotel was a mixed bag. While the price was affordable and I appreciated the cleanliness of the rooms, the location was quite inconvenient with few dining options nearby.

This hotel is quite far from the main attractions of the city, which made exploring Guangzhou a bit of a challenge. While the rooms were generally clean, the dim lighting and dated decor were disappointing. The staff's lack of English proficiency added to the frustration, and the breakfast options were quite limited and overcrowded. Although the internet connection was good, I wouldn’t recommend it for tourists looking for a convenient stay in the city.
I made the choice to stay at this hotel during my exploration of Guangzhou, but I should have picked a place closer to the city center. While the room was clean and the internet was reliable, I found the breakfasts crowded and more local dishes than diverse options. The hotel staff were friendly, although language was a barrier at times. Overall, it might work for someone who doesn't mind being away from attractions but it’s not ideal for tourists.
The hotel provided a fair experience considering the price, especially during the busy Canton Fair period. The rooms were acceptable but a bit worn and noisy. Breakfast left a lot to be desired, but the location, while not central, offered some quiet moments. The shuttle service to the Fair was a plus, but overall, it's not ideal for tourists wanting to explore.
I found this hotel during the Canton Fair, and while the price was decent, the location is quite far from the city center. The rooms were clean but showed signs of wear, and the breakfast left a lot to be desired. The service was hit or miss, but the shuttle to the Fair was a nice touch. Overall, it’s a 3-star experience at best, with value for money in mind if you’re on a budget.
