Hands down, this is a very lovely hotel and is the most glittering gem in Guangzhou.
- nice and sleek interior design that puts it on the pedestal in the same league;
- squeaky clean and spick and span;
- very comfortable bed that you are mollycoddled, from the very first moment you hit the sack;
- quiet and reclusive, and the modern life and vibrancy is a stone's throw away;
- Facilities just as described, almost brand new, wonderful.
Simply the best accommodation!

Excellent services and great facilities. Front desk manager Ms. Yan did a fabulous job to meet our needs by having an engineer to solve the voltage conversion problem, she recommended room change for the best view, and offered us various dining options with great deal. Our first stay for about a week. The guest relationship offered us a free upgrade for our second stay (for about two weeks), which made us very happy and feeling warm. The concierge and the restaurant personnels are very professional and polite, the food is super delicious! We are truly very satisfied with our stay in white swan hotel. Definitely we will recommend it to all friends and will stay again in white swan hotel in near future.

One of my best stays in Guangzhou. The service of the staff is very warm and welcoming. And bed is super comfy and the room is definitely a must stay to view the river in GZ. Highly recommended. My parents enjoyed it very much too. It’s totally worth it.

A very nice hotel in a great historic location - Shamian island. Fantastic view from the river view suite, beautiful garden with a waterfall inside the hotel and awesome decorations in the halls. Friendly and helpful staff. Definitely will be staying there again.
