“Good hotel in good location, but slow check-in, lacks amenities”

We enjoyed our stay here with a toodler. The staff were helpful, but felt at times they were slow to respond and also their check-in process is extremely slow, so expect that.

The suites don't have a kitchen , but they are spacious, nice and big. With lounge access you also get free breakfast, so I would recommend that, since they have a good spread but can get busy aftre 9 AM. There are ample restaurant across the street to try out as an alternative. Overall good experience staying here.

“Good Hotel Choice for Guangzhou City Near to Beijing Road”

Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and my review as follows: 1) Hotel Location It is located about 800 meters away from nearest Metro Station which was Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall.

Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights and my review as follows: 1) Hotel Location It is located about 800 meters away from nearest Metro Station which was Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall. Just exit from D2 and it is just a straight 15 to 20 minutes walk on a flat road to the hotel. It is doable with a trolley luggage too. The Metro Station is one Line 2 which ends on Guangzhounan (south station), so if you taking the high speed rail, it is also very convenient, considering the traffic in Guangzhou is always jam and heavy. Hotel is located on a main road, it is about 800 meters walk to Beijing Road Pedestrian Street. Hotel surroundings are full of shops, eateries and some nice restaurants too. MCD is also about 5 minutes walk from the hotel. Didi/E-Hailing ride is also easily available from the hotel due to its location. Overall, I would say the hotel location is good. 2) Check in Hotel Lobby looks old style but still ok. I wish there were more seating areas at the lobby area. Check in was ok with the staff attending to us being very friendly and accommodating too. She can also speaks english quite well. We were given room facing the Canton Tower which was very nice. The chocolate cookie which was given during check in was also delicious as always. 3) Twin Room On 34th Floor with View of Canton Tower The room is spacious and does feel like a good 4 star or 5 star hotel. Room is bright. Mattress and pillows are comfortable and has luxury feeling. Bathroom size is also good with rainshower. Toileteries are from Crabtree Evelynn brand which is good. Overall, the room is comfortable, luxury feeling and value for money. 4) Buffet Breakfast In general, the buffet breakfast area is huge and we did not have to queue for table throughout our stay eventho we stay during public holiday weekend. This is actually great. Due to the size of the restaurant, it did not feel congested or crowded. Food selection and buffet spread are definitely huge. Some of the breakfast offerings are great such as the Made to Order Porridge Station, the Cold Brew Coffee, the Local Chinese Snacks Counter and the Egg Tart and Chinese Pancake Roll. However, unfortunately I did find about half of the buffet spread can be much better such as the noodle station (the noodle soup taste very plain and not nice), the Chee Cheong Fun, the Dim Sum offering is poor (how can a 5 star hotel in Guangzhou of all places dont offer any siu mai or har kaw), the watermelon juice dont taste fresh (maybe because it was blended too early, i dunno) and a lot of their cooked food offering does feel plain, tasteless and unappetising. Eventho the buffet breakfast spread is huge, on the 3rd day, i do feel bored of the food and does not know what else to eat as the food spread is about the same everyday. Hopefully the hotel can improve on the breakfast variety and quality instead of just focusing on quantity. 5) Housekeeping I must say the housekeeping that attending to my room is very attentive and friendly. Two thumbs up. Overall, I still think this hotel is a great choice to stay in Guangzhou if you want to stay in an international chain hotel. It is walkable to metro station and beijing road (although not near) but it is safe to walk even at night.
