Beautiful Room with the Pearl River View”
We stayed in the Deluxe room and we just love it! The bathtub with the views of the Pearl River really made it perfect for us since when we stayed at the White Swan. Guangzhou was hit by a typhoon when we stayed. So we can't travel anywhere else. And all the flights and train was canceled. We felt lucky that we stayed in this hotel. You should try the restaurants special with sunflower duck, it's my favorite. And go around in the boutique stores and museums of jade, it is very unique and impressive.

White Swan Oct 2018”
Have stayed here on a number of occasions whilst visiting Canton Fair I like the Canton Fair shuttle boat and was disappointed it was not running and consequently had to use the shuttle bus Fortunately this time the weather was kind and I was able to sit out at the pool Otherwise there is a lack of seating for guests except in the bar area and the huge number of tourists - especially at weekends/local holidays- coming in to look at the hotel (with its magnificent foyer) can be irritating and tends to drive guests to stay in their rooms Overall a good hotel
Reviewed November 06, 2018
Dear guest, Thank you for taking time to give us a feed back on your recent stay here. Due to the governmental traffic control, the shuttle ferry service is suspended during 3rd phase of the Canton Fair. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused. As a special place for Guangzhou People, Shamian Island and our hotel are extremely popular especially in holidays like Spring Festival. Thank you for your support and we look forward to welcoming you again as our esteemed guest. Sincerely, White Swan Hotel

You get what you paid for”
We stayed for 2 time slots this time, 4 days in early October then 3 more days in mid October after our trip to 2 other cities in China. Our first stay was in a standard room, which is true to the name, standard in every aspects, from the size of the bed to the size of the room . Quite standard that we did not feel like staying in a 5-Star hotel. On our return from our trip , we paid RMB 385 per night upgraded to a deluxe room, with city view, and it was amazing. The bed was big, bathrooms are big with 2 basins. There were 2 chocolates offered for 2 of the 3 nights we stayed. The staffs are friendly. Pool was nice and my son love it. Definitely need to try Yum Cha at the hotel, highly recommend.

High quality at a fair price”
White Swan in GZ offers international standard facilities and service. The room was clean, tidy and spacious (deluxe) with a great view of the river. The bed was huge and very comfortable. Staff were helpful and could answer questions about where to visit, organise taxis and help post postcards. The White Swan is in a charming area of Guangzhou and it's lovely just to wake up and have a walk about it. We did the buffet dinner which was fairly priced (excellent steamed crab) but the cut off end of 9:30pm was a bit early. The bar has a nice view and they do a range of drinks there. Only downside is the TV - there is one movie channel in English and no Demand options. At least not below the 14th floor - which is ridiculous. So if you are stuck in your room on a rainy day you had better either know and love Mandarin speaking TV or adore Bloomberg. I highly recommend this hotel!

Relaxing trip by the river”
It was 20 years ago that I started using this hotel. I enjoyed the ambience, location and the tranquility being away from work in the city. Despite the fact my office was at the Garden hotel, I did not mind travling to find my nest after work. The vicinity is also good and I enjoyed the local boat ride on the river. These few trips were my pleasure trips and am glad being back again together with the new renovation. It is a very busy hotel but the design was technically well done to seclude the guest area from the public.

It was already back in 15-20 years ago I started staying at the White Swan as I need to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle city of Guangzhou. As a matter of fact, my office was at the Garden Hotel yet, I did not mind traveling for half hour in the traffic . For pleasure trip, I still like to stay at Sha Mian that area with the old western / French style of architech. With the total face lift at the hotel, I highly recommend it with the friendly service at the hotel. It is a treat to stay on the river view side to see the sun rise / set.
