Every time an Agoda customer checks out of a hotel we send them an email asking them to write a review of their stay. This is the only way reviews can be submitted. Every review must then be approved by our content team before being posted on the Agoda website. Therefore, unlike many other travel sites, ALL Agoda reviews are certified and genuine.
We want you to pay the lowest possible rate for your room. If you have reserved a hotel room through Agoda, and then show us that you could book the same room, for the same dates, at a lower rate, that is viewable and bookable on another website, within 48 hours of booking your room with us, we will either match that rate or beat it.

Best location in Guangzhou

Room is very small. Price is a bit high comparing to other similar rated hotel in Guangzhou.

We chose this hotel because of its location which is close to the shopping area, Shangxiajiu Road. Even though, it is quite far from Metro but still within walking distance (20 minutes). The room is very clean but very small comparing to other hotel with the same price. The service is very good. Staffs can communicate well in english and very helpful & friendly.

Shopping Tip : Near the hotel, there are many big eletronic wholesellers, price is very cheap but need a hard negotiation.

Peaceful

Difficult to get taxi

Reasonably priced, but don't expect "Swan Hotel" amenities. Surprisingly the beds are comfortable (actually more so then the Swan Hotel). The breakfast is not much to rave about, but then it is less than half of a resort hotel. This is not a hotel you go to for the swimming pool. There are restaurants w/i walking distance (be brave - try the Malaysian one down the street) or an outstanding choice is La Dolce Vita Italian Restaurant - walking distance away - OUTSTANDING. And there is a Starbucks nearby as well. ... The two best features are the fact it is on Shamian Island - what a fantastic location in a big city - this island is so cool just to walk around -- and the fact that you can walk to the medical facility (less than two blocks) if you are there for a visa processing or child adoption.

The hotel's location can't be beat, and I was impressed with the friendliness of the staff. They spoke excellent English and were extremely valuable in helping with booking tours and train tickets to Hong Kong. The room was clean and spacious. Overall, this was a great value for the money, and I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

I stayed here twice during a recent trip to Asia and was extremely impressed with the hotel. Rooms are spacious, modern, and clean, and the staff was fluent in English and helpful with tour bookings. The location is incredible, and I highly recommend staying here on any trip to Guangzhou.

none really.

This is one great budget hotel! The rooms are very nice and we had no problems at all suring our stay. They checked us in as early as 9 a.m. since we arrived early in Guangzhou. The front desk staff were very helpful when we asked for sightseeing tips. The hotel is also located in a great part of town - Shamian Island - which was a great place to just stroll around and relax. The only downside was that majority of Shamian Island's buildings were under renovation at the time so we didn't get to see the island in its full glory.

The hotel is situated at good location which is Shamian.

Less maintenance, the water sink in the bathroom is sudden hot and cool.

The hotel is good for budget travelers.

Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Do visit Shamian street.

Great location on Shamian Island. Near underground station.Something a little different to the international chain hotels.

Nothing really.

The Victory is a characterful and comfortable hotel in one of the more pleasant parts of Guangzhou. As a frequent visitor to GZ I have tried many hotels but now routinely use the Victory. I have never had a problem getting a non-smoking room, the rooms are spacious,clean and good value. The beds are soft - something of a rarity in China.

Travel tip : This hotel doesn't have all the 5 star features. Use those at the White Swan Hotel nearby.

Friendly service, soft beds, good selection of tv channels, convenience stores nearby, Subway sandwich store nearby, 10-15mins walk to the subway station

Smoke smoke and more smoke..the lobby will sometimes be smoky or the room adjoining will have people smoking, making your room smell of smoke and this happens near your bed time... drainage problems --> when you shower the water will not go down so you'll be up to your ankles in your own filthy water

Overall experience is not too bad. If you are a smoker then you'll have no problems but for me a room smelling of smoke when I sleep is a major issue. I have been to the hotel several times and the drainage for the bathtub is still an issue, this happens for the superior room. I stayed at the business room before and found no such problems. Other than that staying at this hotel is a joy with friendly service, safe environment around the hotels and nearby amenenties. Definitely a good stay, for those who want to avoid the above problems I would suggest to stay at the business rooms for a slightly bigger fee. Definitely a quality stay for such prices.

Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : There are a lot of statues and sceneries around the hotels to take pictures of. You will see a lot of pre-weds taking their wedding pictures around the hotel

Good price, nice location, nice large rooms.

Not very clean. The bathroom/tub/shower tiles could really use some bleach. Lots of mildew in the tile grout.

The hotel is a great price. The rooms are big and comfortable, staff is efficient. The bathroom tub/shower areas are in need of serious cleaning with some bleach, however. We have stayed her a few times while in Guangzhou on adoption trips, and have not had any problems. When we stayed here two years ago, it was much cleaner, though.

Restaurant Tip : Take a cab to Danny's Bagels when homesick for REAL American food. Lucy's, within walking distance on the island, has semi-American food, as well.

This is where you want to stay!! Guest Rating: 10

It is away from the hustle and bustle, get the holiday feeling just walking around the island, about 2.5km. Seee Tai Chi along the river..

If you are not married and with a girlfriend, be aware wedding shoots ALL around, bout 20 couples a day..

Serene island, old school hotel, previous reviews mentioned it smelt "musty", but you are close to the river and you forget the smell within moments. Great rooms, awesome breakfast, have the wonton soup - best I've had in China. Taxi's are cheap to shopping areas, and the MTR within walking distance to go to waterpark, a must. Was great not to be in middle of town. Go to Lucy's in the evening for drinks and huge portions of food. Great chinese/thai restaurants as well. Adaoption agency on island so see many mixed families. Great!!

Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Take MTR, will enjoy getting out of the sun in summer. Billiards table on 3rd floor for those evenings you dont feel like going out..

Room Size : spacious bedroom with additional sitting/tv room. Ample storage and hanging for clothes. Computer Facility: free use of computer. TV: wide range of channels. Room Service : exellent. Breakfast: superb complimentary breakfast with great variety of foods. Service: general service in the Hotel is of a high standard. Facilities: wide range including sauna, pool,etc

Pool: pool cleanliness was a little below par

I found the Guangdong Victory Hotel a wonderful surprise on my return visit to China. Situated in an area close to shops, businesses, sightseeing and transport, I was able access all I needed from this friendly Hotel. A great attitude from all staff members made my stay an enjoyable,pleasant, and successful one.

Restaurant Tip : I found it extremely difficult selecting food at many restaurants. Take a friend who can speak the language and knows the local cuisine.

This is in an area of town with European influence in architecture and dining styles. There are lots of trees and parkways close to the hotel for a quiet stroll, even though it is in a busy traffic area....which is characteristic of most of Guangzhou.

There was nothing that I didn't like. Some of the food served at the restaurant was "prettier" than it tasted. I found the location a little far from other activities that I was planning on (but taxis and the subway can get you there).

This area of town is especially welcoming and inviting toward people from other lands. There is a "friendship garden" with many cute and clever statues along some of the boulevards that gets this point across.

For those wanting to catch TV in English, whether for news or some other entertainment station, this hotel has access for it. Others do not.

All of the food is attractive in appearance, though some of it a little less tasty. The hotel is in a less central location than some of the others.

I was planning to be in Guangzhou for over a week, and planned to change hotels later to be closer to the bus station at the city center. Because of the courtesy and prompt attention of the staff at Victory Hotel, however, I (extended my stay for another day. It really does help that they speak English well and are able to give accurate information to find my way around town.

Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : A short walk will take you to the ferry dock where you can purchase a ticket to ride the Pearl River for 2 RMB for a 20 minute ride to the port at Sun Yat Sen University (or perhaps a little more if you go farther).

The staff was courteous and very aware of special needs of foreign visitors. Most have a good command of English and can provide accurate and reliable information for getting around town on one's own.

The hotel is farther away from my friends and areas of personal interest than I thought. But this is only my issue and is not something the hotel can "do" any differently.

There was a problem at first launching the internet for my room. One person came the first night and spent quite a bit of time on it. They sent a letter the next day to apologize and offered to send another individual at my convenience to ensure complete "victory" over the matter. There were no problems after that.

Shopping Tip : I chose this hotel because it was close to the Quingping market, which I wanted to experience. It was a fascinating aray of goods. Check it out in any guidebook or Google it for more information!
