Hotel Overview
-
Worth the Cost
This is one of the best value options in the CBD area. You pay for the location and comfort, receiving solid 4-star service.
-
Service Experience
The staff is polite and hardworking; there are always some English-speaking employees at the reception. This is important in China.
-
Location Convenience
The location plays the main trump card. You are standing at the intersection of major highways, near metro and Pearl River.
-
Surroundings
It is surrounded by modern and dynamic:-skyscrapers, expensive restaurants, parks. This is the "face" of modern Guangzhou.
-
Overall Cleanliness
Housekeeping is reported to be regular and the overall cleanliness is good but it’s actually the carpet in those corridors that betrays how long this hotel has really been here.
-
Breakfast Quality
The “Victoria” restaurant is mostly known for its Cantonese cuisine. You really must try their Dim Sum, it’s a true gastronomic experience.
-
Comfort of Bed
Rooms are of comfort but an early 2000s design that may not appeal to many. However, beds are comfortable and bathrooms are clean.
-
Wi-Fi Performance
Wi-Fi is free but as everywhere in China, you will need your own VPN to access Western services (Google, Instagram). Speed? Average.
-
Interior Freshness
The style is that of a classic business hotel. There are no trendy art pieces here, but there is functionality and calm.
-
Noise Level
Soundproofing is average. Windows facing Huangpu Avenue can let in traffic noise, so it is advisable to ask for a high floor.
-
Long Stay Potential
Perfect for a business trip or visit to the Canton Fair. The hotel itself organizes transport shuttles to the exhibition complex.
-
Parking Facilities
There is parking, though at times limited spaces or even a fee imposed on the space; best clarified while making a booking.
