Xing Lun Hotel Reviews

I was very disappointed in the security of this hotel. Firstly, when we came back to the hotel on the second day at ~6pm ish, we found our room door open with no one inside. Apparently, one of the cleaning ladies left our door open after they finished cleaning and it was like that for hours! I went downstairs to the lobby to talk to the the front desk and they went with us back to the room to see if we lost anything. Luckily we did not lose anything of value but this was a huge disappointment! Another incident happened when we were in the lobby. An prior guest had walked in and said that they forgot to return the spare key when they checked out. The receptionist then put that key down on the table and had walked off. This was shocking to me because 1. They didn't log who had requested for spare keys. They give only 1 key and then any additional was to be requested and they didn't log this at all 2. Each key was marked with the room # so it's the same key that prior guests and future guests will be using. If this is the case, they need to have better security!

This is a decent medium range hotel however I have a few grievances with it. Firstly I was checked in to a twin room instead of a double, and the twin room in question had water all over the floor. The room was promptly changed however to what I had booked, after I went back down to reception. Then, the hotel is advertised as having a gym, but it doesn’t. The receptionist told me I could go to a gym nearby at extra cost. The towels provided aren’t proper towels, they’re thin single use towels, the kind provided in hospitals. Other than that, the room was spacious and reasonably comfortable, the location isn’t bad, there’s a mall next door but it takes more than 20 minutes to walk to the nearest metro and the route is… quite the sensory experience. Altogether this isn’t a bad hotel but I specifically booked it because it advertised itself as having a gym so I was left disappointed.

Close to shops and a large variety of food such as many Chinese restaurants and small eateries plus many western food take away brands. McDonald's, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Subway and Taco Bell and more. So great location to stay as lots of convenient shops around you. Staff do their best to help with the aid of translator language apps. Rooms have everything you could need including washing machines. Service each day and 2 bottles of water. Only negative was the internet was not usable even with staff help it would not work in our rooms on 7th and 9th floor. Buy a Chinese phone sim to use internet is best choice. Would stay here again for its closeness to all key things including a few nearby massage shops if you have been walking all day at the Canton Fair. They also provide a free bus to and from canton fair if that is why you are staying here. Last point is excellent water pressure showering 😀

Although the hotel is a little far from the subway station (10-15 minutes), it is very convenient for eating. All sanitary products are disposable, and environmentalists recommend bringing your own towels. The bedding is relatively clean, but the other facilities are not so clean. On the second day, we requested a lot of extra bottled water, which was a very good service.  It is very close to Guangzhou Tower, 7~10 minutes by taxi. Recommended by friends who come to take night photos. It is not recommended to take a cruise. We took a taxi to the riverside trail opposite the tower and took very clear photos.

This hotel is like a paradise hidden in the city. It is located next to Wanda Plaza in Haizhu District, and the surrounding environment is unique. There is a stream, many birds chirping, and egrets. The interior decoration is full of literary and artistic atmosphere and creative elements, and beautiful photos can be taken in every corner. Each room has its own characteristics. The one I stayed in was inspired by the linear space, and the wooden furniture exudes a natural fragrance. The bedding is soft and clean, and it is also equipped with special aromatherapy, which has a great sleep-aiding effect. The girl at the front desk is warm and hospitable, like an old friend. She not only shared the local travel guide, but also here, you can deeply feel the local customs and experience the unique accommodation fun. It is a treasure place for those who pursue a special accommodation experience.
