Sanflowery Hotel Guangzhou

“Perfect for couple vacation stay, can't walk from metro station”

We came here arriving at the Datang metro station line 3 (Panyu Square direction). We spent 16yuan (2.60yuan/km, 10 yuan once you or all of you hop on the car) cab to get to the hotel.

We came here arriving at the Datang metro station line 3 (Panyu Square direction). We spent 16yuan (2.60yuan/km, 10 yuan once you or all of you hop on the car) cab to get to the hotel. On the way to the hotel, we crossed a bridge with green color river. We saw the local lifestyle in the town. I felt we just get into a small town/village. This is kind of cute. I never saw this side of China - village or small town. The cab driver was an honest man. Overall, this hotel provides important you need during your trip. There is kettle for you to have hot water for tea, razor, free welcome water, free wifi, etc. That's why it's very suitable for couple who would like to be left alone in a small town in China. This place took about 5 minutes from the metro station (DaTang) to this hotel via a taxi cab. Our taxi cab driver was honest, so that was cool. The girl who checked us in was very friendly and upgraded our room to the biggest one!!! Our room was pretty big and Japanese style. The wooden bathtub was a neat touch and we had a view of some gate to a street. The carpet wasn't 100% clean, but the majority of the room was great. The stone walls are also a nice touch to the bathroom. I also liked it that in the hallway, there were 2 cameras, so at least we didn't have to worry about someone knocking on our door at night or trying to break in. We chose this place is because some others on Tripadvisor said it was walking distance to a townsquare. My only complaint is that I was hoping this hotel was walking distance from a Metro station. This hotel has a restaurant that we didn't try, but noticed they were eating dim sum. :) It was smoky and my wife is pregnant, so we couldn't go in and try it.

Stayed 5 Nights with family to attend Trade Fair. Shuttle Bus to and from made it a good choice for location Local surrounds a bit down beat - but fun, took two teen daughters down the road to the local food and trinket markets most nights - felt safe and locals are hospitable - but for each of the 5 nights only Westerner to be seen (Come down Driveway and turn hard right. Great Street Food Hotel Photo's have been well photo shopped - Hotel a little run down , Dry Fountain at Front, Cracked driveway, Rooms a little grubby. On 4th day, Room Toilet blocked up and they could not send someone straight away to fix. No other Western Toilets in hotel but for 1 in the Restaurant Mens room. 2 Daughters had to "improvise"....... Word of further advice, neither the hotel or many of the public toilets in Guangzho provide toilet paper - so be prepared English not spoken at front desk but for one translator/Hostess. She was on call but I had to wait for 40minutes on day of checkout to 1) Ask for Bags to be stored 2) Organise Taxi for later in the day. This hostess "Amanda" was a joy to deal with a certainly made the stay worthwhile - really kept an eye out for us. Breakfast voucher 50Y fed a family of three each day - Food was Great - Yum Cha , great quality and selection Great little Convenience store attached to hotel - everything cheap and good selection Beds were very comfortable, Showers hot and strong, Daily linen services and rooms made up Wi-Fi - good level of service and free. Aircon great. At $A85 per night very good value Cost of taxi to City 80Y and Airport 250Y Easy city to get around Don't bother with Haizu Square (Daughter got pick pocketed and lost an I phone) but other markets (Beijing Road and Baima) good fun Would stay again if I was attending the Fair - but as I said be prepared to drop expectations by 20% based on Photos on Booking Sites (Hotel Photos)
