Guangzhou East Railway Station/Wushan Guangzhou|1.16km from downtown
I always choose Jianguo Hotel Guangzhou for my business trips to Guangzhou East Railway Station. Its location is a huge advantage, just a few minutes' walk from the East Station, making it super convenient for catching high-speed trains. The room was clean and tidy, and the bed was very comfortable, allowing me to rest well after my business activities. I particularly want to praise the Chinese restaurant on the fourth floor; their Cantonese dim sum for morning tea is very authentic, with excellent shrimp dumplings and siu mai. No need to go out and queue in crowded places. The front desk staff were efficient with check-in and check-out. Overall, it was a great stay.FromTRY 2,886

Tianhe Stadium/TaiKoo Hui Guangzhou|0.86km from downtown
I've stayed here many times, and I'm so happy they upgraded me to a one-bedroom suite again this time. It was a very comfortable stay, and they even provided welcome fruits. Both the room and the living room have floor-to-ceiling windows, offering a pretty good view. The location is also very central; you can walk to Zhengjia Plaza. This time I tried the breakfast; the restaurant is beautiful, but the food selection is a bit limited. I pretty much always stay here when I come to Guangzhou.FromTRY 5,386

The location is excellent, and the front desk staff were quite welcoming. My flight was delayed, so I didn't arrive until after midnight, but they kindly extended my check-out time, which I really appreciated. The room size was decent, and there were many foreign guests staying. However, the hotel facilities are a bit old. I was taking a shower when three or four staff members knocked on my door asking if I had been smoking and triggered the smoke alarm. It was truly speechless. I hope they improve the facilities and service quality.FromTRY 3,586

This stay was a huge improvement over my last one – no noise at all, and the room was so quiet. The orientation was great too. A special thank you to the lovely lady at the front desk who checked me in; she was incredibly understanding. And also to 'Jasmine' from the executive floor – she thought of every little detail for me. Because you arranged everything so perfectly this time, I couldn't resist staying an extra day! 😊 Westin Hotel, your biggest strength is how you always promptly address guest feedback and make improvements. You do an excellent job of valuing guest needs. I hope all my future stays are as pleasant and perfect as this one. Thank you all so much!FromTRY 4,373

Tianhe Stadium/TaiKoo Hui Guangzhou|0.85km from downtown
We had a wonderful stay at Fraser Suites Guangzhou and would definitely choose to stay here again on our next visit.
We specifically chose this location because we knew Guangzhou would be extremely hot during the day, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. The hotel is surrounded by several shopping malls, restaurants, and plenty of indoor attractions, making it easy to explore the city while staying comfortable. The location is incredibly convenient and was ideal for our family.
One of the highlights of our stay was the exceptional concierge service. We had quite a few packages delivered during our trip, and the concierge team was always happy to receive them on our behalf and arrange for them to be delivered to our room. Their efficiency, professionalism, and willingness to help made our stay so much easier and more enjoyable.
The suites were spacious, comfortable, and well-maintained, providing everything we needed for a relaxing stay after busy days of shopping and sightseeing.
Overall, Fraser Suites Guangzhou exceeded our expectations with its fantastic location, comfortable accommodation, and outstanding service. We had a great experience and will definitely be returning the next time we visit Guangzhou. Highly recommended!FromTRY 5,569

Guangzhou Marriott Hotel Zhengjia Plaza Review: Excellent Location, but Service Details Need Significant Improvement
Hotel Location: Prime business district, convenient but prone to traffic jams
The hotel's location is truly excellent, situated right next to Zhengjia Plaza on Tianhe Road. Stepping out, you're seamlessly connected to a bustling commercial area, making shopping, strolling, and dining incredibly convenient. However, precisely because it's in a core business district, the surrounding traffic is bound to be congested during peak hours. Whether driving or taking a taxi, the last few hundred meters can take a considerable amount of time. It's advisable to factor in extra time and check traffic conditions upon arrival.
Hotel Environment: Well-equipped, but cleanliness details need improvement
The hotel generally offers the comfort expected of a standard five-star establishment. The decor and facilities are well-maintained and function smoothly without issues. Disappointingly, however, the room's cleanliness was rather mediocre. Dust was visible on obvious surfaces like the bedside table (see photos), which is quite detrimental to the stay experience for a five-star hotel.
Hotel Facilities: Comprehensive, meeting daily needs
All of the hotel's hardware facilities worked well. The comprehensive amenities met guests' daily rest and leisure needs. Although some areas might show a slight sense of age, the overall maintenance was good, with no facility malfunctions or inconveniences.
Hotel Service: Low efficiency, attitude needs improvement
This was the most critical area for improvement during this stay. Firstly, check-in efficiency was extremely low. Arriving at 3 PM, a twin room was still not available. Even after asking Trip.com customer service to expedite the process, we didn't receive the room key until 5 PM, severely disrupting our plans for rest. Secondly, the front desk staff's training was clearly inadequate; their arrogant attitude completely fell short of my consistent impression of Marriott staff being professional and enthusiastic, which was quite disappointing.
Hotel Dining: On par, highly recommended
The hotel's dining experience was outstanding and a major highlight of this stay. The buffet breakfast on the fifth floor offered a wide and diverse selection, catering to various tastes. The Chinese restaurant on the sixth floor not only had excellent dishes but also provided attentive and thoughtful service. The overall experience was superb and highly recommended.
Overall, I am satisfied with my comprehensive experience at this hotel, especially its impeccable location and excellent dining. However, I also hope the hotel addresses the existing issues, genuinely improves the front desk staff's attitude, enhances check-in efficiency, and strengthens control over room cleanliness. I look forward to seeing improvements in these areas on my next visit.FromTRY 5,102

The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with smart toilet features. We received complimentary fruit, which was a nice touch. The executive lounge offered a wide variety of food. From the 30th floor, we had a great view of the sports center and stadium. The environment was lovely, and being right next to TeeMall made shopping enjoyable. The service was excellent, and the front desk staff, especially the 'little brother' (young male staff member), was very helpful. We appreciate being assigned to a quiet floor.

The front desk staff were very enthusiastic, efficient, attentive, and polite. Special thanks to Mia Huang and Rachel at the front desk for making this a truly comfortable stay. Everything exceeded my expectations, and I must give them high praise.
First, the hotel's location is a huge advantage. It's incredibly convenient for getting around, sightseeing, shopping, and finding food. The Guangzhou Zoo and Guangzhou East Railway Station are also easily accessible, which I was super happy about. There are also many great food options nearby. Whether you're taking a taxi or walking to nearby attractions and business districts, it saves a lot of time and effort, making it genuinely friendly for both leisure and business travelers.
Upon entering the room, my first impression was how clean and tidy it was. The hygiene was impeccable, with even the corners spotless. The overall room layout was sensible, with ample space that didn't feel cramped. The bedding was soft and skin-friendly, and the mattress had just the right firmness, perfect for relaxing after a busy day. The soundproofing was excellent; I barely heard any outside noise, ensuring a peaceful and sound sleep. The in-room facilities were complete and well-maintained, easy and convenient to use. The lighting created a perfect ambiance, making the living experience truly enjoyable. It's a shame the swimming pool on the seventh floor wasn't available; I wonder when it will open!FromTRY 4,082

Highly recommended for a 'hotel staycation' with kids. The room type is excellent, the food is great, and there are plenty of activities. The hotel's culinary team consistently delivers high-quality dishes; if you're looking for authentic Cantonese flavors, I definitely recommend getting the package that includes food and accommodation. After your meal, you can take the kids for a swim, or if you prefer not to get wet, there's a gym. The huge garden on the first floor feels like a mini Grand View Garden, offering an experience of old-school luxury. The rooms are a bit older but very clean, and you can really feel the meticulous care in their operation and management, with top-notch service. We happened upon a September package that allowed for an upgrade to a suite – highly recommended!FromTRY 5,999

Taojin/East Huanshi Road/Guangzhou Zoo Guangzhou|4.34km from downtown
This is a classic hotel in the heart of Guangzhou, and its location is really good. The exterior also looks quite grand. The rooms are spacious, and the views from them are very nice. You can also go up to the 63rd floor for an even better view. Breakfast was decent, but it was a shame that during my three-day stay, the noodle station only had a chef on the last morning. I found the front desk service quite subpar. I waited in line for ages, and several male receptionists kept ignoring me or shunting me to a different queue. They were busy chatting casually with the guests in front of them and didn't bother calling the next person. They spent half an hour on pointless conversation, and it felt like it would never end. I was so annoyed waiting that they finally called out a female receptionist from the back to help me with my room card. Also, in the lobby, we were dragging our luggage around, and no staff member came over to offer assistance. Overall, I felt there was hardly any service.
There's no self-service laundry room, which I think is a significant drawback. Since there are no room service robots, I had to go up and down to collect my food orders every time, which was a real hassle.
The room hygiene was good, but I find it incredibly stingy for a five-star hotel to charge for a tiny bit of coke and other items in the minibar. Many hotels now offer complimentary minibars.
To sum it up: excellent location, outdated facilities, and a poor service experience.FromTRY 3,520

I had an absolutely amazing stay at The Ritz-Carlton, Guangzhou. From the moment I arrived, everything was exceptional — from the elegant surroundings to the warm and attentive service.
The room was beautiful, spacious, comfortable, and impeccably clean, with all the amenities you would expect from a luxury hotel. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making it easy to relax and enjoy a restful night after a long day exploring Guangzhou.
What truly stood out was the hospitality. Every staff member I encountered was friendly, professional, and genuinely attentive to every detail. The service felt personal and thoughtful without ever being intrusive.
The hotel’s location is also excellent, making it convenient to explore the city while still providing a peaceful and luxurious retreat. The overall atmosphere was elegant and relaxing, and I particularly enjoyed the attention to detail throughout the hotel.
This was definitely one of the highlights of my Guangzhou trip. The combination of beautiful facilities, outstanding service, comfort, and genuine hospitality made my stay truly memorable.

This is already my nth stay at the Holiday Inn Guangzhou Zhujiang New Town, and it's practically my go-to choice when I'm on business in Guangzhou. The location is absolutely perfect; getting around Zhujiang New Town for business is super convenient. The rooms are clean and well-maintained, the mattress is really comfortable, and the soundproofing is good, so after a busy day, you can get some quality rest. The front desk staff are familiar with returning guests' needs and handle check-ins and check-outs very efficiently, and they're quick to respond to any issues. The breakfast spread is extensive, and the *cheong fun* (rice noodle rolls) are particularly delicious. It's suitable for both business meetings and leisure travel. I'll definitely keep choosing this hotel when I come to Guangzhou again. Five-star recommendation!FromTRY 4,184

Guangzhou Sunac Resort and Surroundings Guangzhou|37.12km from downtown
Decided to take a spontaneous trip during the May Day holiday and looked into nearby resorts. Mulian Zhuang came highly recommended for its overall value for money, so we decided to give it a try. We arrived on the afternoon of the 30th, which helped us avoid the peak rush. From the parking attendant to the front desk staff and the shuttle bus driver, everyone was incredibly friendly and professional. The front desk kindly upgraded our room to one by the lake, which was incredibly comfortable and offered a more peaceful environment. The first day was a bit chilly, but lying on the balcony deckchair, listening to the birds and the sound of the water, was incredibly relaxing. It really helped us achieve our vacation goals, haha! The hotel itself is designed like a garden, with rooms scattered across the hillside, connected by small paths. This layout ensures minimal disturbance between guests. Taking a leisurely stroll around is lovely, and if you don't feel like walking, you can always 'call' for the park shuttle, which is very convenient. If you're looking for peace and quiet, soaking in the hot springs or swimming here are excellent choices. I was so engrossed in the scenery that I barely took any photos!FromTRY 3,761

Conghua Hot SpringTourist Area Guangzhou|74.13km from downtown
This was my first time visiting Conghua, Guangdong, for a hot spring experience, and I specifically chose this hotel for its genuine hot springs. Firstly, the hotel service deeply impressed us. It was my husband's birthday, and the hotel surprised him with a complimentary homemade cake, which was absolutely delicious. The handwritten card with a heartfelt message was a lovely touch. The room was clean and tidy, and the attention to detail in the service was excellent. After soaking in the hot springs and showering, we used the towels. When we returned from dinner later, we found fresh towels had been provided, and the trash had been emptied. All the staff greeted us proactively. The hotel breakfast was delicious, and my skin felt amazing after the hot springs. We also had dinner at the hotel, which was good value for money. The next morning, we enjoyed a two-hour round trip walk along the riverside greenway towards Yakong River. We wished we had more time! Due to time constraints, we couldn't try the hotel's paddleboarding, but we definitely want to come back. It's a wonderful place for hot springs and a relaxing getaway.FromTRY 4,490

Conghua Hot SpringTourist Area Guangzhou|72.57km from downtown
My room was a luxurious suite with private bath tub (around hkd 3000 for two nights including breakfast). Hardware is definitely exceptional. However when it comes to service it is below standard:
1) front desk - service was poor without any greetings such as bell boy. Front desk officers were unhappy without any eye contact when they talk to you. No hospitality at all;
2) breakfast - the quality both food and service were not up to a 4 or 5 star service. Table was not clean, staffs were almost unfriendly, except one female manager and one staff, all staffs were rushing their task and unwelcoming. I believe the hotel management need to motivate their staff ,otherwise, people won’t come again.
3) Amnenties - room is a luxurious suite with private bath tub, massage chair, kitchen , dining table and queen bed. The tub was not very clean, with water splitting . Such a waste as their service was not meeting the standard of what it is expected to be a 5- star resort. (The environment, garden were nicely decorated indeed) The Hot Spring pool is well known but I have’s try so cannot comment.
I won’t come to this resort again, if the service of the hotel haven’t improved. And I won’t recommend travelers with kids who is looking for a family friendly and good service resort.
P.S.: Parking spaces were spacious and freeFromTRY 4,118

The hotel looked better in the pictures than in real life! Honestly, the overall environment was decent, and there were several pleasant surprises during our stay, like the afternoon tea included in our package and the fruit platter specially provided at the hot spring. However, the downside was the hotel staff's somewhat aggressive upselling. They offered us a room upgrade but wanted an additional 80 yuan per hot spring tub (even though the room I booked already had a private tub!). Also, we had to pay extra for our child exceeding the limit, and this was only for a single entry (a multi-entry pass cost over 100 yuan per person, with no discount for hotel guests). What was even funnier was that each room was limited to 4 bottles of mineral water. We took 5 bottles the first night because we needed more water after using the hot spring, and then they wouldn't give us any more the next day! On checkout day, I wanted to take two bottles of water, but the front desk didn't even have any. Oh well, it's not like we're desperate for those two bottles. Overall, I'd say the hotel lacks generosity. I probably won't be booking here again!FromTRY 3,703

This birthday trip was my first time staying at the W Hotel Guangzhou, and it was absolutely fantastic! The entire property is impeccably clean, fresh, and beautifully avant-garde.
The facilities are simply outstanding. The stunning rooftop pool was a massive surprise, offering an amazing high-altitude vibe. I also thoroughly enjoyed the beautifully designed bar, the well-equipped gym, and the gorgeously aesthetic sauna, steam room, and hot pool—perfect spots to unwind.
What truly elevated this stay was the exceptional service. Room service was excellent, and all the staff were incredibly nice. A special shout-out to Candy and Catherine at the Front Desk! They were remarkably polite, attentive, and went out of their way to take great care of me, making my birthday extra special.
I highly recommend W Guangzhou for a flawless, stylish stay. I will definitely be returning!FromTRY 7,398

The room is very spacious, and the overall environment is excellent. The service attitude is superb, especially Front Desk Assistant Xiao Lin, who was very enthusiastic and kind. The only downsides are that the hotel is a bit old, and the facilities are a bit dated. The air conditioner in our room was leaking, but Xiao Lin was incredibly helpful and quickly arranged a room change. However, the new room was quite noisy due to its proximity to the road and ongoing subway construction. The room had large windows. The breakfast leaned towards Western style; it wouldn't be worth it if paid for separately, especially compared to the excellent dim sum (Cantonese morning tea) readily available throughout Guangzhou. The hotel's garden environment is lovely. I would stay here again.FromTRY 4,001

The front desk lady upgraded me to an executive floor garden-view room before I even arrived. The room was excellent in terms of facilities, service, cleanliness, and the view outside the window. I think this hotel offers the best value for money near Huacheng Square. The front desk staff, the general service staff, and even the bar on the 24th floor were all great, and the live singer was also good. It’s perfect for one or two people to enjoy some music and drinks in the evening; it's very relaxing.FromTRY 5,466

Tianhe Stadium/TaiKoo Hui Guangzhou|0.89km from downtown
The rooms were fine, but I have to give a negative review for the concierge service. I was with my child and in a hurry to register my car plate number before heading out. However, the concierge, a man with glasses, was engaging in a lengthy and polite conversation with a foreigner and completely ignored us. Even though I was standing there with my child for several minutes, no one bothered to approach us. I finally had to interrupt their enthusiastic chat to ask if someone else or the check-in desk could register my car plate. I received a cold and quick 'no' – a stark contrast to the warm interaction he had with the foreign guest. After waiting for a long time and seeing no end to their conversation, and with my one-year-old getting restless, I went to the check-in counter to ask if they could help with the car plate. It was then that a nearby check-in staff member took us back to the concierge desk, where someone there *did* register my car plate. I was utterly confused! Turns out, it *was* possible. So, is concierge service only reserved for foreign guests, and we don't even deserve a smile? He knew I had a baby and had been waiting for almost ten minutes, yet he was completely indifferent. This is hard to assess... The hotel facilities and cleanliness were fine. The doorman when we left was very enthusiastic. The breakfast, to be honest, was really just mediocre! The French toast was alright, but the rest was truly unremarkable... especially the waffles, which were hard and unappetizing, and the eggs were very average. Three days, two nights – next time I visit friends in Guangzhou, I definitely won't choose this place again! Though I was happy they upgraded my room type when they saw I had a small baby.FromTRY 10,525

The room was clean and the facilities were relatively new, with a nice view outside the window. Overall, it still had an old-money vibe, as the hotel's age is undeniable, and even renovations have their limitations. I particularly want to mention the faucet in the bathroom sink – it didn't have a filter, and the spout was quite high, so water splashed everywhere when turned on. The instant coffee in the room was terrible, though the coffee machine in the buffet restaurant was decent. For the buffet lunch, the desserts, ice cream, and fruit were good, but the main courses were mediocre. The sashimi always had a long line, and its presentation was a bit lacking.
Regarding the ”Golden Ball Lychee Pastry”: it was advertised as one per day, but I didn't receive it on subsequent days of my stay.FromTRY 4,315

The hotel is wow!
They have free transportation from terminals. If you arrived at terminal 2, after passing passport control, go to the second floor to departure hall and find exit 46. The bus from the hotel will pick you up right there, outside the exit.
Reception guys are very helpful, they helped with your luggage and anything you need.
The room itself is very spacious. The floor in the room is so soft, like a cloud! The bed is very comfortable, pillows just amazing! The bath robe is so soft, double layered, I loved it. All you need you have in a room.
Only one thing can be improved, could be nice if there would be face wash and face lotion at least.
Overall, very pleasant stopover experience. Would book again for longer stopover to discover hotel’s spa and restaurant.FromTRY 3,994

This hotel exceeded my expectations in the best way! They contacted me a day in advance to ask about any requests. When they found out it was my birthday, they quietly prepared a surprise. April, the front desk agent, was so sweet and spoke with such a gentle tone during check-in. She noticed I had a child with me and thoughtfully provided all the amenities kids might need. A special thanks also goes to Supervisor Super Wang! The newly renovated room had absolutely no strange odors, featured a comfortable Chinese-style design, and felt incredibly spacious, making us feel right at home. We even received a box of milk daily. We had just come from the Park Hyatt, and while I don't want to disparage it, if your budget allows, I highly recommend staying at the Four Seasons – it surpasses the Park Hyatt in terms of service, ambiance, and dining!FromTRY 13,848
