I've been busy for a long time, but I finally have a moment to write this review today. I've stayed at the Westin Sanya Haitang Bay before and was extremely satisfied with both the breakfast and the service, so when I came to Guangzhou, I didn't hesitate to choose the Westin again. However, it completely failed to meet my expectations. Perhaps because I was comparing it to the Westin Sanya Haitang Bay, the breakfast selection here seemed quite limited, and there's no comparison for the public areas.
Let's talk about the service! I mistook this hotel for another where I had redeemed welcome fruit with 1 point on Trip.com. So, when I didn't find any fruit in my room, I called the hotel. The way they communicated needs improvement, as it made me feel like they were trying to take advantage of me, almost insulted. Perhaps they realized their poor communication had upset me, so they reported it to the manager. Soon after, the manager called to say that welcome fruit had been arranged and might already be in my room. However, when I returned to my room that evening, there was no fruit. So, I called the hotel again (at this point, it wasn't about whether I got the fruit or not, but about feeling toyed with). The hotel answered and explained, saying they would arrange it as soon as possible. Yet, 'as soon as possible' turned into over an hour. I was already in bed when the staff came to deliver the fruit. So frustrating!FromDKK 582

The room was decent, and the bedding was comfortable.
However, there were some downsides: The service was lacking. The foreign staff at the pool had no service awareness whatsoever. The female attendant at the lobby bar who was serving ice cream looked completely unamused, I'm not sure if she was in a bad mood or what, but her expression was awful when my child went to get ice cream.FromDKK 756

The location is excellent, right across from the Pearl River and close to the Pazhou Exhibition Center. The staff's service attitude is also very good. On a day with heavy rain, they even extended my check-out time for free.
Now for the downsides. The facilities are a bit old. The room TV supports screen mirroring, but the buttons (for opening/closing curtains) are a bit faulty and hard to press. Regarding hygiene, the first room I was given wasn't very clean; there were visible stains on the sheets and duvet. When I requested a change, the staff were very accommodating and immediately arranged a new room, which was very clean and looked spotless.FromDKK 642

I chose this hotel for a business trip to Guangzhou because it's close to my client's company. I heard it's the second All Seasons Grand View hotel in the country. After staying for 3 days, I decided to extend my stay for another day, and my experience was absolutely fantastic 💯
The front desk staff were super friendly, and they even upgraded my room during check-in, which instantly made a great impression 👍
The room has a new Chinese style with a wonderful ambiance, and the layout is spacious and open 🌿.
The massive floor-to-ceiling window offers amazing views, and the all-smart controls make everything so convenient! The bathroom has a separate wet and dry area, plus a fully automatic smart toilet – the details are really impressive~
The tea in the room is also delicious, and the 'goodnight tea' from the front desk is very soothing; it's so comfortable to drink before bed 🍵.
The self-service breakfast is truly 'Guangzhou-style' – the ingredients are authentic, and the taste is great. Even without Western pastries, it's very satisfying 😋.
The service was excellent throughout my stay, with prompt responses. When I hung my clothes on the door, the cleaning lady immediately came to collect them, washed and dried them for me. The TV is huge, perfect for binging some mindless dramas. I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit!FromDKK 574

This branch has one of the best locations in Guangzhou. It is close to Modiesha Metro Station, Canton Tower, the Canton Fair Exhibition Center, Party Pier, and many of the city’s main attractions. The neighborhood is modern, clean, and full of restaurants, cafés, and entertainment.
The hotel is located in the same building as a shopping mall, which makes everything very convenient. There is a large supermarket downstairs, plenty of restaurants and cafés, and even a McDonald’s just outside the entrance.
The breakfast is one of the highlights. If you enjoy healthy food, you’ll find plenty of fresh options every morning, along with excellent coffee. Guests can also enjoy complimentary coffee and tea in the lobby throughout the day, where there is a comfortable workspace for anyone who needs to work remotely.
The hotel also offers a self-service laundry room, a small fitness area with a treadmill, modern facilities, and excellent service. Everything was clean, efficient, and well organized.
If you’re visiting Guangzhou for the Canton Fair, a business trip, or simply want to stay in one of the city’s best-connected neighborhoods while also being close to the main attractions, I highly recommend this hotel.

There was a lady who reached out to me on phone to receive us for check-in, there is no front-desk, it's more like a b&b, we were given keys to the room and elevator and that's it. There was a super tv-projector in the room, a fridge and kitchen, but no tools.

Whenever I'm in Guangzhou, especially around the Haizhu District or Pazhou area, this hotel will definitely be my first choice.
By the way, they have free serve-yourself coffee machine where you can get either black coffee with or without sugar and milk as well as lemon and mint drink which happens to be my favourite!FromDKK 210

Pazhou International Exhibition Center Area and Canton Tower and Kecun Area Guangzhou|2.4km from Exhibition Hall of China Import and Export Fair
The location is excellent, right across from the Pearl River and close to the Pazhou Exhibition Center. The staff's service attitude is also very good. On a day with heavy rain, they even extended my check-out time for free.
Now for the downsides. The facilities are a bit old. The room TV supports screen mirroring, but the buttons (for opening/closing curtains) are a bit faulty and hard to press. Regarding hygiene, the first room I was given wasn't very clean; there were visible stains on the sheets and duvet. When I requested a change, the staff were very accommodating and immediately arranged a new room, which was very clean and looked spotless.FromDKK 642

I had an incredibly satisfying stay this time, and I really have to commend this hotel. Its location is easy to find, with convenient transportation, and plenty of dining and shopping options nearby. The front desk staff were efficient and patient during check-in, proactively informing me about the elevators, breakfast times, and local attractions, which was very thoughtful service.
The room was spotlessly clean, with every corner and the bathroom thoroughly tidied. The mattress and pillows were just right – neither too soft nor too firm – providing excellent comfort. The soundproofing was great, toiletries were comprehensive, and hot water supply was consistently stable.
The amenities were excellent, with smooth Wi-Fi, free bottled water, and disposable items provided. The service throughout my stay was attentive and thoughtful, with great attention to detail.

Excellent value for money! The location is great, only a few hundred meters from the subway station. The staff, especially the ladies, were incredibly patient and helpful, bringing us extra water, blankets, and towels when we needed them. The environment is quite good. The only minor downside was that the shower drain was a bit clogged, causing the water to drain slowly, but it was completely acceptable!FromDKK 180

Should You Attend More Than One Phase?
You can attend more than one phase if your sourcing needs cover different industries.
For example, a business selling both electronic products and home accessories may want to visit Phase 1 and Phase 2.
However, there are several days between each phase while exhibitors change booths and prepare the exhibition halls. Consider your hotel, transportation, and travel costs before planning to stay for multiple phases.
