Traveling to China? Find Guangzhou hotels

I have stopped in a lot of hotels in Guangzhou and this is by far the best. I have stopped here 3 times now and on each occasion the quality as been very high in all areas. There is so much to do within the hotel. The gym, the pool and the man made waterfall in the back of the hotel is a great feature.

Stupidly, because of China's obsession with new is great and old is not, this beautiful hotel is being closed for a year while it is probably gutted and replaced by a shiny, aluminium and concrete monstrosity. I have used the White Swan all year as a home away from home and I cannot fault the place. The rooms were comfortable, well-appointed and clean. Breakfast, without being as exceptional as the China Hotel in Guangzhou, was still a very nice experience with a good choice of Asian and Western cuisine. Whoever looks after staff training at this hotel should be given the job of being in charge of the hospitality industry in China -- it certainly needs someone.

Close proximity to Guangzhou East Train station was the main reason for choosing this hotel as we came up from Hong Kong on train, taxi only costs ¥11 to hotel. There's a free shuttle bus but needs 30min advanced booking so easier to take a Taxi, otherwise it's a 15min walk. Facilities wise more or less the same for a 5 stars chain hotel. Didn't eat at the restaurant or use the gym or spa but they look nice enough. Check in staff was very kind to upgrade for a deluxe room since I was travelling with my father to visit relatives in Guangzhou. The staff gave us a bigger room in case we want to invite relatives up to the room which we never asked for. My experience with 5 stars hotels in Guangzhou is that if you are a member of their loyalty programme they usually will give you a nice room. It happened with Hilton, Hilton Double Tree and Crown Plaza.

Stayed at the Dong Fang during the Canton Fair, and despite the hefty price tage (all hotels in Guangzhou massively increase rates during these periods!) it was certainly worthwhile. The hotel itself is huge, and I understand that some rooms have been renovated, whilst others are still waiting to be renovated. Contains all features of an international 5 star hotel, and I was very happy with the size of the room. The bed was comfortable, and shower and additional bathtub were also great. Room service wasn't amazing but this can certainly be excused as breakfast was excellent

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..

It is our 3rd time.That tells everything!!! We will always book this hotel. It is the best hotel in Guangzhou. Not 5 Star, but has everything, waht we need. Good price, good service! Staff always friendly and helpful. Helped us by everything, we needed. Food, restaurants, shopping, railway, metro, Jusco all nearby. Room quiet, bed a littlebit small, but does not matter for us.

Best location in Guangzhou, very centrally located with subway station very close by on the ground floor, The breakfast is always excellent with all inclusive choices. The food manager & captain constantly on the breakfast room to look after guests need, he even listened to my advice how to improve the morning fried egg delivery system immediately by telling the chef to implement the change....I was very impressed with the management attitude & policy. Front reception & cleaning services are both flawless. The room rate is very competitive to others & since I have been coming to this hotel in Guangzhou for last 4 years I have not found any other hotels nearby have this overall excellent qualities & convenience. I would highly recommend this hotel to others.

Lido Hotel is the best hotel in Guangzhou because it is a cheap price and near Beijing Road which is a famous shopping center in Guangzhou . The room have a good facility. And you can go to anyway in Guangzhou comfortable by taxi because it is in a center of Guangzhou City.

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.

This is a new hotel and I booked it because my usual hotel in Guangzhou was closed due to renovation. I will be staying at this hotel on future visits to guangzhou and have recommend3ed it already to a business colleague who has booked to stay there soon. this is one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed at.

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 like to try luxury hotels in different cities I travel to, and we were going to Guangzhou so I thought we'd try this Langham. The hotel is design-y in terms of the architecture and the interior design, our room on the 13th floor was spacious and comfortable. The bed was super comfortable and I loved it. Overall I think it was worth the money, however, there were a few downsides. Location is a bit off. It's not difficult to get a taxi when using a taxi app, but it is a bit far so once you are at the hotel you probably don't want to venture out to town. When taking a shower, the drain of our shower was blocked, although after I mentioned to the hotel staff they had it fixed that day, this kind of situation should not happen in a five star hotel. There was a bath next to the shower, but there was no bath salt. Another thing about the hotel is, the hotel pool policy required people to wear a swimming cap in order to enter the pool to have a swim. I witnessed a few hotel guests spending hundreds of RMB just paying for swimming caps and trunks in order to have a quick swim. We also tried the hotel seafood buffet, 238 RMB per person for hotel guests with service fee included. I think the food was good quality and wasn't bad to spend that money to have a meal there. Breakfast was just so so: pastries were not great and limited, coffee was filter coffee which wasn't even hot. I would say it was not up to a five star hotel standard breakfast.

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.

Wow, so first I'm a 50yo traveller who spends a lot of time in upmarket hotels. I'm not easily impressed, and prefer niche brands like Banyan Tree over the Hyatt/Hilton larger market brands. Add to that, my expectations of Guangzhou were a little trepidatious. So imagine our surprise when we found such a luxery hotel, with simply the best bed I have ever slept in, and the most diverse and extravagant breakfast I have seen anywhere incl Thailand holiday resorts (well done to F&B manager Adam). Seriously, DO NOT SKIP BREAKFAST! Concierge staff were definitely helpful (you need that in China!), and checkin/out was very efficient too. All round, 5/5 on every dimension.

Pros Friendly helpful staff. Reception staff spoke good English. Check-in and check out quick and easy. Room staff friendly. Room clean with plenty of hot water for shower/bath. Great location next to Guangzhou Railwaystation, restaurants, mall and large supermarket just across the road. Fantastic breakfast. Cons. Breakfast expensive rmb180 Room tariff nearly doubled during Canton Fair, standard room rmb1150 but only rmb580 a few months prior. May be standard practice for Guangzhou hotels but still kind of extortionate. No shower cubicle just bath/shower combo.

I stayed at Pullman Hotel in Guangzhou when I was traveling from Urumqi to Zhanjiang, and this hotel was a perfect place to stay for me because I was supposed to be on the plane the next day.The hotel is beautiful and modern, I specially liked the bathroom in my room, it was with a glass wall and you could see it from outside, but of course there was a curtain. There was one thing that I didn't like very much: the hotel doesn't have any shops where you can by drinks and snacks, so in the evening I had to go to the airport to get all that. Another thing is that I wanted to use the swimming pool at the hotel and I was told that I had to pay for it which I thought was inappropriate because I already paid to stay at the 5 star hotel to enjoy all thinga that I cannot find in 3 or 4 star hotels. And here I was disappointed. But my overall experience was wonderful and I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others.

It is my fab hotel in Guangzhou I stay here every month as I am a frequent traveller to china Mai ly...aside from hk ;) I would say it's great cos I have great memories living in that location from the old times... It has a metro station so very convenient for travel anywhere within gz 15 minutes away from the railways station to dongguan, hongkong and foshan etc...can safely say there location makes them hotel that will never go out of style come what may...bang in the heart of Guangzhou it is a great one

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.

Great location, spacious space, king-size beds, easy access to 7/11, Family mart, Starbucks, & many delicious restaurants, this is an apartment with the convenience of a 5-star hotel! Definitely, we will choose this place as our living quarters in our future teips to 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.

It is located outside of the city of Guangzhou, so it is a bit inconvenient to get around if you don't have a car. (The hotel might provide shuttle services but I am not 100% sure.) The Chateau Star River Hotel(I'm referring to the hotel, which is about 10 mins drive away from this apartment) does have very good "dim sum" on the first floor as well as SiChuan cuisine on it's 4th floor.

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.

Stayed here for total 6 night ~ overall was very satisfied with the price i pay for . 1st 2 night we booked for budget boutique room which was very small , then when we return from hongkong , we booked for Deluxe room which just few dollar difference but alot bigger and comfort . The best of this hotel is they provide inroom Desktop PC , daily housekeeping to keep the room clean and fresh , in china hardly to get new clean room at this price,important is the toilet is clean too . more else is very convenience ,7-11 just few step away ,there is few shopping centre accross the road , MTR just 5-8minutes walk , many attraction is nearby the only downside is next to temple and theres a school behind this hotel .but not big deal and we leave our room early .

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.

This accommodation is in a very convenient location. The metro station is just underneath the building, very easy and cheap to travel around Guangzhou, including to the railway stations. It is also within walking distance of many attractions and shopping streets including the popular Beijing Road. The staff are friendly and helpful.

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.
