Hotele Boutique w: Guangdong, China

The Executive Lounge at Mandarin Oriental Guangzhou is excellent. Aside from one staff member who seemed a bit stern, the other service personnel were all incredibly warm and polite, making us feel right at home. The food inside was also fantastic. Although the cocktails were a bit subpar, the overall experience was still very positive, earning high praise from both myself and my boss. The public area's pool and Jacuzzi experience were also great, and the sauna and warm pool in the changing rooms were equally impressive. The room itself was also quite good.

This hotel is absolutely fantastic! I'd read some reviews before that mentioned poor soundproofing and noisy air conditioning, so I was prepared, but it turned out to be incredibly quiet – super, super quiet. I'm not usually a great sleeper, but I didn't even need earplugs here because it was so peaceful; I slept right through the night! The bed is huge, and the room has a really stylish design. It's much larger than other hotels in the same price range. The bathroom is even more luxurious, with an artistic bathtub that has a cool, minimalist Nordic vibe. I've been very impressed since checking in. The only minor downside is that the doormen at the entrance don't seem very professional; I often saw them on their phones or smoking.

Our flight was a bit delayed, so we didn't arrive at the hotel until after 7 PM. We had booked a room in the Bihai Building, but check-in was already closed. Seeing us with two suitcases, Mr. Shi, the manager on duty, offered to store our luggage at the Bihai Building and then personally drove us in the shuttle to the Baiyun Building for check-in. The handsome guy at reception brought me another stroke of luck by upgrading me to a suite – what an amazing vacation, meeting so many lovely young people! I'm so fortunate! The Bihai Building has incredibly new decor. What I care about most is the bathroom, where all the silicone sealant on the tiles was pristine white, with no yellowing or mold whatsoever, which was a very pleasant sight. Then I ran my hand everywhere – no dust, and the bathtub was free of any grime, which is impressive. Full marks for cleanliness. Breakfast was included and served as a buffet at the Jinshan Restaurant on the second floor of the Baiyun Building. Some online reviews said it wasn't good, but we stayed for three days and ate there twice, and my actual experience was that it was excellent. They even have freshly made 'cheung fun' (rice noodle rolls) in three flavors – beef, egg, and pork – served with their own sweet soy sauce. It was incredibly delicious! The girl making the cheung fun was very sweet, always smiling, and happy to fulfill any requests. There were also nutty Sachima (a sweet pastry) and four flavors of ice cream. Paired with a coffee, it was very satisfying. On the third day, we went to the Hongmian Restaurant on the first floor; it was filled with locals, and every dish was made fresh to order at reasonable prices. Furthermore, Ms. Huang, who cleaned our room, was incredibly thorough. She even left a special note if she noticed something needed attention, which made us feel incredibly warm and fostered respect for every single staff member throughout the hotel! This is undoubtedly a hidden gem of a hotel that I will definitely visit again!

I rarely leave reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience. The hotel's service was commendable; the staff patiently answered our questions and even gave us recommendations for good local eats. However, the hotel facilities and room amenities were really subpar: 1. The lobby elevator was incredibly slow. Everyone had to wait a long time. 2. The family room seemed to be a converted king room, as many switches were obstructed by the bed. It took ages to find them when we first entered, and the bigger problem was that our pillows kept pressing on the switches in the middle of the night, leading to accidental activations. 3. The air conditioning temperature control was broken. Even set to 30 degrees Celsius, it was freezing cold, forcing me to get up in the middle of the night to turn it off. 4. The toilet paper in the room was of the absolute worst quality. It was the kind that would hurt your nose if you blew it. Even a basic guesthouse wouldn't use such cheap paper, would they? 5. Although the hotel is located in the city center, it's situated within a side street, not directly on a main road where you can just step out and be on the street.

A very healing stay ✨ Big thanks to Coco at the front desk! She was super gentle and patient during check-in, and kindly reminded me of all the important details. The hotel room was clean and quiet, with a fantastic overall vibe. I had a really comfortable stay. This is definitely my top choice for accommodation when traveling, and I've already recommended it to my friends!

Arrived at 3 PM and checked in right on time. The front desk staff were very professional, even asking about my preference for room proximity to the elevator. The room view was superb, overlooking a golf course and a beautiful lake. The balcony bathtub was a definite highlight.

Overall good, friendly and helpful staff, room was clean, there's a big pool and pretty big resort type hotel, next to golf course very convenient for if have golf tournaments or golfing. Room service was open until 11pm, food taste great! Very nice & enjoyable stay.

We stayed in a Poolside Kids' Room at the Tangxia Goodview Hot Spring Hotel. The room was newly renovated with a brilliant design, featuring bunk beds that the kids absolutely adored the moment they walked in. The hotel's swimming pool is vast and spacious, and the hot springs were wonderfully comfortable and relaxing. The butler service was exceptionally attentive, arranging pre-arrival services even before check-in and following up continuously throughout our stay – the attention to detail was impeccable. The overall environment is beautiful, with a strong family-friendly atmosphere. It’s a fantastic vacation spot for families with children, definitely worth revisiting!

The doorman was super friendly and welcoming, and the front desk staff were really patient. The room was clean and had a great view of Canton Tower, which is also pretty close by. Jinan University is right across the street, and parking was convenient. I forgot to take a picture of the breakfast buffet, but they had a lot of dishes. It was definitely worth the price, and I'll definitely choose to stay here again if I come back to Guangzhou with friends!

For a culinary trip to Shunde, the Xiangyunsha Hotel is an excellent choice. Due to a back problem, I always travel with a back brace and dread hotel beds that are too soft. Thankfully, the mattress at the Xiangyunsha Garden Hotel provided excellent support, truly a lifesaver for someone with a herniated disc. The food quality at the hotel's 4th-floor restaurant is also exceptionally high; we had both breakfast and dinner there. I particularly want to commend the service. When we were leaving, we called a ride-sharing car, but due to traffic, the driver asked us to walk to meet him. We had trouble understanding his Mandarin and didn't know the exact location he mentioned. A kind lady in a white shirt from the hotel staff noticed our predicament, proactively offered to help us communicate, and then walked quite a distance under the hot sun to find our car, asking us to wait in the hotel lobby to avoid the heat. We were incredibly touched by her thoughtfulness! A sincere thank you to her! If I get the chance to visit Shunde again, I will definitely choose the Xiangyunsha Garden Hotel.
