Boutique Hotels in Guangdong, China

A perfect five-star review for the R&F Wanda Hotel Jiangmen! From the moment I stepped into the lobby, Annie's warm, spring-like smile and efficient, professional service instantly melted away my travel fatigue. The room was spacious and bright, the bedding was comfortable, and the river view was absolutely stunning. Breakfast offered a rich variety, and the service was attentive and thoughtful. This stay far exceeded my expectations; Annie and her team's warmth made this place feel less like a hotel and more like a cozy sanctuary. Highly recommended – I will definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Jiangmen!

I chose Wyndham again this year because of my pleasant stay during New Year's Day last year. However, the service this time, at the same time of year, was vastly different. First, the front desk handling check-in clearly ignored my special requests. As a result, when I got to the room, I found that the room I booked was the exact opposite of what I requested. Furthermore, the so-called 'lake view' room only offered a view of large trees (Picture 1). If the hotel didn't have the requested room, shouldn't the front desk have informed the guest? Secondly, I don't think Wyndham accurately estimated the number of guests for breakfast. The entire breakfast restaurant was incredibly noisy, no different from a wet market. I can understand this, as it's a holiday and there are many people. But while people were eating, those coming in would just stand next to others' tables, which I imagine was frustrating for both those trying to eat and those looking for a table. The restaurant staff's instructions for seating guests were also unclear (Picture 3). This is because there were actually dining areas on the other side of the restaurant, but they were in a sunken area and hard for guests to notice. As for the auntie at the rice noodle roll station, I wonder if she wasn't getting paid or wasn't trained, because she wore an unpleasant expression for all to see. If you can't give an extra portion according to policy, you can explain it nicely, because guests might not have seen the notice. But being confrontational with guests only causes anger, especially when the dining atmosphere is already so frustrating! In other hotels, staff are attentive to special families and even offer assistance, but despite Wyndham's high room rates, the service falls short. The breakfast selection was very ordinary, very ordinary, and with so many people, the queues for the limited made-to-order stations were incredibly long. The experience was very poor, and I didn't end up eating much anyway. Thirdly, the five-star Wyndham clearly has very poor preparedness for its guest traffic during holidays. As the weather turned cold that evening, and the forecast had warned of it, which everyone knew, many families with children needed extra blankets. However, the blanket I requested half an hour ago wasn't delivered. Finally, after I called to follow up, they said there were no blankets, and it took another hour for the requested items and a bedsheet (which was better than nothing) to arrive. In short, this stay was very unpleasant. A big-brand hotel is still inferior to a guesthouse!

The environment is great, and the staff are mostly young, professional, and have a good service attitude. However, I felt the communication about the package services could be better. I booked the room, and my friend arrived first, but it seemed she wasn't aware of the photography, drinks, and entertainment included in the package. When I arrived, I was only told that the entertainment needed to be booked in advance and couldn't be done online, which was quite inconvenient. Another minor issue was that the tissues in the hotel were very thin, which wasn't a great experience. Although the hotel is a bit secluded, you can still order takeout, and it even gets delivered right to your door. I recommend 'Jindi'. The breakfast stands out from other buffet breakfasts, but the overall taste was just average; there's room for improvement.

“The best hotel in Zhanjiang” My room is sea view suite 1316 with club accessed pass where you can enjoy free dinner and drink 18.00-20.00 and I stayed here for 5 days for work. The location is great just next to the beach and there is shopping mall where you can find something to eat and it takes only 7 mins by walk. The room is very spacious and provide everything you need during your stay, fridge, big bathtub with sea view, robes, comb, dryer, salt bath, mouthwash, etc Breakfast is also a competitive advantage as it offers a variety of choice (most of them are Chinese food) since early morning until 10.30. Staff is very helpful and the front desk can speak English. The lobby is always crowded and busy because there’s seminar / wedding event hosted here almost everyday. Facilities of the hotel are great especially gyms and children’s room. The only negative side is cleanliness. My shower room still got some hairfall on the ground after cleaning but the overall is ok. I would recommend this hotel and will visit them again.

The service far exceeded my expectations! As soon as I left the high-speed rail station, I saw the big 'L Hotel' sign. It's just a short walk across the street from the border crossing. Check-in is on the 5th floor, and a room was immediately available for early check-in, which was great. The whole process was efficient and professional. They gave me a little welcome gift bag, which was perfect because I'd forgotten my hair tie, and the quality was surprisingly good! In the afternoon, they brought a fruit platter with apples, pears, and oranges – a thoughtful and warm touch. The room was fantastic, clean, and hygienic. The 1.35-meter twin bed room offered comfortable space, and when I opened the curtains, the border crossing, mall, and high-speed rail station were all right there. I have to say, the bed was really comfortable, and the pillows were good too. The bathroom facilities were also complete. On the ground floor (1st floor) there's luggage storage, and next to it is a convenient store, which is incredibly handy. There are a few other hotels nearby, but from what I could see, Hotel L is the closest. I really picked the right hotel this time!

The room was quite spacious and even came with a capsule coffee machine, and the capsules provided were from Peet's, which was a nice touch. The breakfast buffet was delicious and offered a great variety. I had only booked one breakfast through Ctrip, but the front desk kindly provided an extra one for me, which was very nice of them. The hygiene was excellent, and the showerhead provided a really comfortable shower experience in a generously sized shower stall. The elevator was exclusive to the hotel guests, so there was never a long wait. The only downside was being able to hear a child crying next door. Even though we were on a high floor, I didn't hear any traffic noise from below, which was a plus. Overall: It was great value for money, and I would definitely consider staying here again.

The cleanliness and hygiene standards are good, perfect for a quick stopover to rest and do some laundry, haha. Of course, the main advantage is its excellent location. Taking a taxi allows you to perfectly avoid congested routes, and you can walk directly to scenic spots. It offers good value for money.

As China's first five-star hotel, the White Swan Hotel in Guangzhou is more than just a place to stay; it's a legend etched into the city's memory. Located on Shamian Island by the riverside, it overlooks the Bai'etan Lake and the Pearl River. Its century-old European-style architecture blends elegantly with traditional Lingnan gardens. Since its opening in 1983, it has hosted heads of state from over a hundred countries and is listed as a 20th-century architectural heritage site. This rich heritage is something no other hotel in Guangzhou can replicate.

Great location, but the hotel itself is a bit dated. The facilities aren't as new as some other hotels. However, the service is absolutely top-notch! The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and kind to my kids. We even received a welcome gift upon check-in – some delicious small cookies from Macau's famous Koi Kei Bakery, which my children loved. The 6th-floor indoor heated pool is a nice bonus, though the changing rooms were a bit messy. Not a big deal since we could just go back to our room to change. There are plenty of dining options nearby, so no need to stick to the hotel breakfast. The dim sum at the 55th-floor restaurant is excellent. While it's a bit far from the popular internet-famous spots, the surrounding area is perfect for a leisurely stroll, with lots of charming little shops and cafes for afternoon tea. It has a chic, boutique vibe. Five-star recommendation!

I specifically came to Foshan to buy furniture and chose the Sofitel Foshan, which has a great reputation. Before checking in, I saw the hotel's introduction, and it definitely lived up to expectations once I was there. The hotel's decor, from the first-floor entrance to the rooms, is very stylish. This time, I stayed in a Luxury Postmodern room, which also had a lot of character. The overall facilities in the room were excellent, and the hygiene was very good. This morning, I saw Jingjing, the floor manager. Even though the hotel was very busy, she went above and beyond to graciously grant us a late check-out, allowing me to take a nap after finishing my furniture shopping. The service was truly exceptional!
