The WiFi is fast and reliable, the breakfast is tasty, and the staff are incredibly welcoming. The free laundry service is a nice bonus and they do it really well.
In Shangxiajiu area, you can find everything you need right outside. The decoration style suits my taste; it has a bit of the old Guangzhou feel. The location is fantastic. When you're tired from shopping, you can just go back to the hotel and rest. The waiters all greet you with smiles and explain things in detail when you ask for directions. The corridor is beautifully decorated, and many people are taking photos there.
I absolutely have to give this place a five-star review! From booking inquiries to check-in and check-out, every staff member wore a smile and offered help proactively. When the front desk found out it was our first time here, they warmly recommended local food spots and transportation routes—so thoughtful!
The self-service laundry in the hotel is really very convenient. After several days of traveling, finally I can do some laundry. The viewing platform on the 10th floor has a great view. When I came back in the evening, I happened to catch the sunset, and I took several photos which were all very beautiful. The location is in Shangxianji. It's very close to Yongqingfang and Shafa for dining. Just a few steps away is a famous old restaurant.
This hotel left a very good impression on me. Its warm service and clean accommodation environment were reassuring. Most importantly, its location is extremely convenient. It allows easy access to Yongqingfang to experience the traditional Xiguan culture, and you can also explore Shangxiajiu anytime to sample authentic local delicacies. It is indeed an excellent accommodation choice.
Foodies can't go wrong choosing this place! The hotel's location is basically a culinary hub—within walking distance, you'll find traditional snack streets in the old town as well as trendy creative restaurants. It's also super convenient to head to Yongqing Fang or Shamian Island for meals and shopping, and when you return in the evening, you can unwind in the hotel's cozy tea lounge. Plus, the rooms are modern and well-equipped, and the service is genuinely thoughtful.
The 10th floor offers a wide view. In the evening when there are sunset colors, it is particularly beautiful. Just take a casual photo with your phone and it will be great. The hotel is located in Shangxianji. Once you leave the hotel, you can find plenty of dining options. It's just a walk away to Sandai Island. When you come back in the evening, sit in the tea room for a while and enjoy the night view. It's very comfortable.
The hotel is located on the Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street, with very convenient transportation. It is a very distinctive hotel. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The environment is very nice, with free tea and water. The view from the upper floor is very beautiful.
The staff were very courteous and available. And the subway, where you can go for a walk to yongvillage and sasha. The rooms are modern and clean, and at the top is a tea room with night vision equipment. Guangzhou is a real tourism day
Very clean room and the staff were lovely! It’s in a great location (the pedestrian street), and the walk from the nearest metro station is safe and takes you past lots of cute street food spots. The moon bridge and some bars are very close by too. Breakfast was a great spread of various Chinese dishes, but if you miss that, it’s not far to get to Shamian Island and a bunch of other sights. There’s an all day vending machine to get simple snacks and drinks on site. The rooftop is really cute too - the staff will bring you a free pot of tea once a day. Decorations were lovely and tasteful, old Cantonese vibes. A great stay!

The location is absolutely prime — it's right in the heart of Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street! Just step out, turn right, and walk straight to Yongqing Fang and the flagship Tao Tao Ju restaurant. You get the best of both worlds: the local vibe and the artsy charm of old Guangzhou. For travelers, saving time and energy is the ultimate win.
For my first trip to Guangzhou, I really wanted to experience the authentic Xiguan style, and choosing this place definitely didn't disappoint. The hotel is tucked away in an old street, full of character. Following everyone's travel tips, I spent the day taking photos at Yongqing Fang, explored Shangxiajiu for food and shopping in the evening, and ended everything perfectly with a pot of tea on the rooftop. A perfectly planned day!
