7.3Verified guest“Well-kept property with large rooms, solid facilities, and helpful staff. Handy base for visiting Baiyun Mountain Park.”
7.3Verified guest“The hotel looks great. As a foreigner, I could have used more guidance on the room controls like the lights — I arrived exhausted after a long journey. The spa felt pricey, and better deals should be offered to international guests more openly. Getting charged top rates as a non-local doesn't build long-term goodwill. Room rates themselves were very reasonable.”
7.3Verified guest“Great location, close to all the spots we wanted to visit like Honghulou. The free Wi-Fi was a nice plus.”
7.3Verified guest“Complimentary parking for guests. Short walk to the main attractions — a good base for exploring Guangzhou.”
