Hands down, this is a very lovely hotel and is the most glittering gem in Guangzhou.
- nice and sleek interior design that puts it on the pedestal in the same league;
- squeaky clean and spick and span;
- very comfortable bed that you are mollycoddled, from the very first moment you hit the sack;
- quiet and reclusive, and the modern life and vibrancy is a stone's throw away;
- Facilities just as described, almost brand new, wonderful.
Simply the best accommodation!

Excellent services and great facilities. Front desk manager Ms. Yan did a fabulous job to meet our needs by having an engineer to solve the voltage conversion problem, she recommended room change for the best view, and offered us various dining options with great deal. Our first stay for about a week. The guest relationship offered us a free upgrade for our second stay (for about two weeks), which made us very happy and feeling warm. The concierge and the restaurant personnels are very professional and polite, the food is super delicious! We are truly very satisfied with our stay in white swan hotel. Definitely we will recommend it to all friends and will stay again in white swan hotel in near future.

We were supposed to make a trip to Guilin but changed our mind the very last minute. Aa we've not visited Shamian Island, we made a last minute booking at the White Swan. I was rather worried and apprehensive as I read some poor reviews.
When I arrived at the hotel lobby, my first impression already started to change. We had asked for a smoking room and the front desk staff told us that it's only available on a lower floor. Though a little disappointed we agreed to take the room as we wanted to check in and rest. However, the staff managed to get one of the smoking rooms in a higher floor as cleaning was completed.
Stepping into our river view room was the 2nd great impression. The room had a full view of the Pearl River. The bathroom was huge and bright. Even my 15 yr old daughter fell in love.
We've stayed in some very good hotels such as Ritz, Kempinski and Capella etc, and this room can be ranked up there.
We needed an extra bed and the housekeeping staff set it up quickly, bringing with them a set of extra amenities as well.
We tried the Chinese restaurant. Good but I wouldn't say it was 'wow'.
There's turn down service every night and the housekeeping staff leaves a nice little box of biscuits as night treat.
Rooms were made up promptly everyday and bottled water refilled. The staff was proactive, knowing that there were 3 of us, they actually placed extra bottles of water for us.
If I have any complaint, it would be the pillows. Though there was a pillow menu, somehow all the pillows were still really flat. I had a bit of stiff neck and I told the housekeeping staff. They very kindly brought a few extra pillows so that I could prop up to a comfortable level.
Location is also convenient with many restaurants and cafes nearby. A short walk will bring you to a nearby mall and the metro station.
Compared to the Conrad where we stayed the last trip, this definitely fare much much better.
Will be our top choice if I come to GZ again.

Response from Property: Dear guest, thank you for staying at the White Swan Hotel. Our hotel is located in Shamian, which is rich in humanistic atmosphere and exotic architecture. It is adjacent to the Pearl River and has a very elegant scenery. In order to bring guests a unique viewing experience, the windows of the guest rooms were specially sunken by 30 centimeters during the renovation, so that guests can enjoy the prosperous day and night of Baietan to the greatest extent. We have always been adhering to the service concept of guest first, hoping to bring every guest a home-like service, and your satisfaction is our greatest pursuit. The location of our hotel is surrounded by restaurants and cafes, whether it is tasting authentic Cantonese cuisine or enjoying a cup of fragrant coffee, it is very convenient. Just a short walk, you can easily reach the nearby shopping malls. The subway station is close at hand, providing you with convenient travel conditions to various attractions in Guangzhou. Looking forward to your visit again, we will create a more perfect stay experience for you with a more enthusiastic attitude and more considerate service. Thank you again for your support and love, and wish you a happy life~White Swan Hotel

We arrived in the evening and still had time to enjoy the pool. There is a heated pool, which was a nice bonus. It was also convenient that they sell swim trunks and swimsuits by the pool—we took advantage of that!

The hotel is located right beside the river and in the charming Shamian Island with lots of beautiful buildings nearby. We booked a city view room which has a panoramic view over the neighbouring area. Rooms are reasonably big and clean. There are lots of restaurants in the hotel and nearby which offers good Guangzhou cuisine. Getting around is easy also. Definitely worth the price.
Response from Property: Dear guests, thank you for choosing the White Swan Hotel. We are honored to learn that you are very satisfied with the hotel's location, rooms, catering and travel convenience, and think that it is good value for money. The unique style of Shamian Island and the beautiful surrounding buildings have always been the external advantages that our hotel is proud of, and our city view rooms allow you to relax and overlook the Shamian landscape and enjoy a freehand life. The rich and diverse Guangzhou cuisine in and around the hotel must have also feasted your mouth. I am glad that they can add color to your journey and make your trip worthwhile. We look forward to you choosing the White Swan Hotel again. We will definitely create an unforgettable stay experience for you with better service and more intimate care. I wish you a happy life~ White Swan Hotel
