Marriott Hotels in Guangzhou

We made a 2-night leisure visit during the Canton Fair. International brand hotels in the city were charging 3-4 times their normal rates. So we decided to stay at Marriott in the Baiyun District (near the airport though we never heard airplane noises during our stay) where the rates were still reasonable. A metro exit is right outside the hotel gate, but we never used it because ride-hailing is so convenient & affordable in China (RMB20-30 would take me to practically all the tourist spots in the city). The hotel is quite good - it’s new, clean & big with 2 blocks of rooms. Our standard room was spacious, with separate shower & toilet areas. Breakfast was also very good with usual Western food choices & even more Chinese food choices. The only complaint I have is that the free Wifi was so slow (only 2-3 Mbps) that I gave up and used my phone’s data plan throughout our stay.

Great location for shopping and dining. The room was spacious, very comfortable, and offered nice views. The swimming pool was a great bonus, and early mornings it was completely empty. On the downside, the hotel sits in a very crowded area, and both the entrance and lobby often feel busy, giving off more of a budget resort vibe. Service was just average — for instance, we arrived more than two hours past the official check-in time after a long flight, yet our room still took another hour to be ready. No alternatives or compensation were offered, which was disappointing.

I have visited again this hotel with my family. This time hotel arranged nice non-smoking room and provided us baby bed as I requested. Dinner and breakfast are all owesome and hotel manager of Mr.david have welcomed re-visiting our family. This hotel is recommendable..!
