Moderately active elderly mother and daughter short trip. We had a good stay with stargaze with the standouts being the very convenient location especially for night owls. Plenty of shopping, food and massages in the area. We also wanted to commend the very hospitable and excellent service from the front desk to the morning buffet chefs. They often chit chat with my mother and she loved their recommendations for food. The rooms are quite basic but expected for the value in price. Thanks for the memorable time in Guangzhou

The room is very clean. The bed sheets and pillowcases are all pure white, making it very reassuring. The bathroom has high water pressure, and taking a shower is very comfortable. After a day of playing, taking a hot bath at home eliminates all the fatigue. The air conditioner also cools down quickly, and you can feel cool as soon as you enter the room.

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.
