The hotel is a great property, trendy decor, great staff and very clean. We had the buffet dinner and they had a special price for guest which was very reasonable and the food was great. Rooms are large and recently updated with great beds and bathrooms. The only disappointment was we booked a room and the description said bath shower combo. The room provided first did not have a bath but the staff were great and found us another room with a bath. Our daughter was keen on the pool when we booked but this was out of action and we did not have any prior notice. It is a really good hotel in a fantastic location in the old part of Guangzhou with lots to explore.

Mit Kindern gibt es in Guangzhou scheinbar keine bessere Alternative: das Familienzimmer ist perfekt und mit Kinder-WC sowie einem Spielteppich und -zelt wunderbar eingerichtet. Auch mit drei Kindern nutzbar, indem das Sofabett hergerichtet wird. Achtung: Frühstück für Kinder wird über hotels.com nicht richtig gebucht und kann/muss vor Ort (halber Preis) nachgebucht werden. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis empfanden wir als sehr gut. Frühstück ist eine Mischung aus westlichen (eher mittelmäßig, aber völlig in Ordnung) und chinesischen (gute Hundun, Nudeln, Reiscongee, etc) Optionen und war insgesamt super. In der Umgebung gibt es eine Fußgängerzone und ein paar schöne, alte Gassen; Richtung Süden sind es ca. 20min zur kolonialen Altstadt (Shamian-Insel). Richtung Central Business District oder Guangzhou Tower fährt man mit Ubahn oder Taxi je nach Uhrzeit 20-40min. Angestellte/service staff waren extrem freundlich. Ach ja: der Rooftop-Pool hat uns richtig gut gefallen (Badekappenpflicht, man bekommt vor Ort welche, nicht zu streng), direkt daneben ist ein Fitnessraum und in den Umkleiden jeweils sogar ein Saunaraum).

Fint hotell i et annerledes strøk enn der de klassiske business-hotellene i Guangzhou er. Rett ved den gamle gågata med tusenvis av salgsboder. Her finner du ikke high-end men masse gøy. Og mannfolk som kan reparere koffert :-) Hotellet har veldig god mat, både buffet i kafeen og restauranten. Svømmebassenget var helt ok. Flott beliggenhet på toppen.

Set in the historic old town beside Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street, great for shopping and local food; the metro is a 15–30 minute walk. Driving access and nearby traffic can be confusing and congested, and some found the surroundings dated.

The location is near to the 上下九步行街 and 13 Center whole sales building. The hotel room is big with good toiletries n amenities. The only thing that is tough is the walk from the MTR station to the hotel. Is almost 30 min walk from Cultural Park station and the way to the hotel is quite diffficult to walk due to the rocky path which is difficult to drag the baggage. So evverytime we need to travel by MTR, is far and crowded to walk.

I am always happy to stay here when I come to Guangzhou for work. The only inconvenience is getting in/out of the hotel through local streets, which very often slow traffic.

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude for the truly wonderful service provided by some of your personnel during my recent stay. Eden, Anson, and Tracy were exceptional. Their professionalism, attentiveness, and warm hospitality greatly enhanced my experience and are a credit to the Voco brand. However, I must also share feedback regarding the breakfast buffet. While the visual presentation is quite elaborate, the quality and function unfortunately do not match. Specifically, the setup of placing a mountain of food together in the traditional steamer baskets is problematic. This design causes significant issues, as the food at the bottom often becomes soggy or overcooked. The execution of the buffet truly does not live up to the high standard set by your staff and the rest of the hotel. I hope this feedback is helpful for future improvements.
