Hotels in Chaozhou

"That afternoon, we made a last-minute decision to cancel our original hotel booking, thinking it would be more convenient to stay on Paifang Street given the rainy weather. We were pleasantly surprised by this hotel! Firstly, its prime location right on Paifang Street makes it incredibly convenient to walk to several major attractions. Secondly, the design is full of thoughtful details, and the hotel feels very new as it hasn't been open long. Every staff member, from the butler to the front desk and restaurant staff, was incredibly friendly! Initially, after reading some reviews, I was a bit concerned about potential street noise. However, we were assigned a room on the 6th floor, and based on my family's experience, aside from a brief minute or two of noticeable noise from the street below around 9 AM, we didn't hear any other street noise at all during our stay. P.S. A minor suggestion for improvement: perhaps because we are a family of four, the waste bins in both the bathroom and the room were a bit on the small side for our needs."

"**💡Ambiance:** Rooms in popular tourist destinations typically experience high occupancy, leading to more wear and tear. While not brand new, the hotel's predominantly white design is surprisingly well-maintained, which is quite commendable. The bedding was fresh and clean, free from any strange odors, and didn't cause any skin irritation. **👯♂️Service:** The staff demonstrated excellent service awareness. It's clear the manager is deeply committed to running the hotel and fostering positive guest relationships, always striving to resolve any issues. The housekeeping staff were also incredibly diligent; I often observed them meticulously cleaning and tidying up when passing by. **📍Location:** The hotel is situated right inside the scenic area, making it very family-friendly, especially with children. In the mornings, the kids were taken out for a stroll while we enjoyed some extra sleep at the hotel. Shared electric scooters and tricycles are readily available right outside the entrance, offering very convenient transportation. **🚘Parking:** There are only two 'first-come, first-served' parking spaces directly in front of the hotel. However, the hotel does provide a dedicated parking lot about a ten-minute walk away. When we needed to retrieve our car, the lovely manager kindly lent us an electric bike to ride to the parking lot. I'd suggest the hotel consider offering a shuttle service to and from the remote parking lot. This would be incredibly convenient, as guests typically rely on tricycles or shared e-scooters for getting around the area, meaning there's often no need to drive once parked. With light rail construction ongoing nearby, driving can also be very congested. We didn't use our car at all after parking it for the duration of our stay. A parking shuttle service from the hotel would undoubtedly enhance the overall guest experience. ⭐⭐⭐⭐Overall, our stay was very positive. The convenient transportation options significantly enhanced our travel experience."

"This five-star rating is genuinely earned, not inflated or requested by the front desk. I've noticed many hotel front desks ask guests to give them a perfect score, but this one didn't. The hotel's location is excellent, right next to a bustling market street. It has two adjacent parking lots, which is very convenient for those traveling by car; a kindergarten is located between them. The room was spotless, equipped with a smart assistant, and they even offered robot delivery for takeaways. All the toiletries had a pleasant orange scent. Key card access is required for the elevators. The surrounding area is packed with all sorts of eateries and snack shops, offering everything from beef hotpot to raw fish congee. A fruit dessert shop is just across the street. Service was generally satisfactory. There's a gym and free laundry facilities on the second floor. It should be quite close to Paifang Street, but unfortunately, we encountered a typhoon, so we only stayed for one night before heading to our next destination."

"A friend from Shantou came to Chaozhou for a visit and decided to stay overnight. At about 10 o'clock in the evening, he hurriedly booked Apartment 2808 on Ctrip. Unexpectedly, the apartment manager was also enthusiastic and diligent. He assured us that we could check in in 10 minutes. As soon as we entered the apartment, we were full of surprises. The kitchen, refrigerator, washing machine, and Gongfu tea set were all available. The room was tidy and clean, and even the bathroom was clean and reflective. The bathroom was fully equipped with disposable toiletries. The home hardware was purchased from big brands with quality assurance, such as TOTO's bathroom. His mattress was actually a Slumberland mattress (PS: soft and comfortable, the experience is simply too good to sleep)... When I got up in the morning, Chaozhou was still raining heavily😂, but I also saw a different rainy scene of Guangji Bridge through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the apartment. The misty Guangji Bridge was like a landscape ink painting with heavy makeup and light makeup, which was also an unexpected gain😄"

"A family of four (two adults, two children) had a truly delightful and memorable trip here. We'll definitely be back! Before making our booking, I made a point of looking through the negative reviews. One mentioned service not being up to par, another complained about distant parking – and honestly, that just put my mind at ease! 😂 We stayed for a total of five days. I absolutely despise the rushed, checklist-style 'hit-and-run' tours, so a leisurely pace was our top priority. We woke up naturally each day, and the host was incredibly thoughtful. Aside from some helpful WeChat messages and gentle reminders, we experienced absolutely no disturbances. We didn't bother with detailed planning ourselves. Although we drove to the location, once we'd parked, we were quite content not to move the car again. We opted for the host's recommendation of a local driver-guide to take us around. This meant we avoided any unnecessary detours, didn't have to worry about the hassle of parking at attractions, and could even happily enjoy a couple of drinks! In short: If you have an interest in history and appreciate the authentic charm and atmosphere of a traditional old residence, choosing this place will absolutely not disappoint."

"Chaozhou's Relaxed Pace in a Grand View Room - A Family Favorite! A family of five, we checked into two Grand View King Rooms at Nanyi Grand Hotel for two nights and had a delightful stay from start to finish! 💯 **Spacious Rooms**: The rooms were incredibly spacious, giving us plenty of room to move around freely. My parents couldn't stop praising how comfortable they were! 🍵 **Relaxing Tea Room**: Our private tea room was perfect for brewing a pot of Dancong tea. The fragrant tea filled the air, completely relaxing our minds and bodies. The air conditioning maintained a comfortable, even temperature, with no dry heat or harsh drafts. 🤖 **Smart Tech**: Convenience was at our fingertips with voice-controlled curtains, a Xiaodu AI assistant playing music and telling stories, and automatic smart toilets. These large rooms truly had every modern comfort! 📍 **Prime Location**: Paifang Street is just across the road, and Guangji Bridge is a mere 10-minute walk away. It was incredibly convenient for exploring the ancient city and trying all the local delicacies! 🥢 **Breakfast Highlights**: The freshly prepared Chaozhou Kway Teow and incredibly bouncy, handmade beef balls were so good, we cleared our plates every single day! We will definitely stay here again on our next visit to Chaozhou."

"Our room was spacious and immaculate, with beautiful traditional Chinese aesthetics incorporated throughout. The small courtyard was tranquil and offered a truly relaxing ambiance. The butler service was excellent; they proactively contacted us a day in advance to help reserve a convenient parking space right at the entrance. The complimentary breakfast, served at 'Shibazhu Yujiao' (just a five-minute walk away), was absolutely delicious. We also appreciated the thoughtful self-service laundry and drying facilities. A lovely touch was the complimentary Dancong Duck **** Fragrance tea bags provided in the room, complete with a professional tea set and table for brewing. Highly recommended!"

"You can fully immerse yourself in Teochew culture right here at the hotel, without needing to step out. While the staff may not be numerous, every single person is wonderful. Unlike the impersonal service often found in chain hotels, this place truly feels like home. Vast and Linda, in particular, are incredibly engaging and helpful – such genuinely lovely people! Even the room service attendant and the cleaning staff always greeted us with warm, friendly smiles. The cleanliness is also impeccable; there wasn't a speck of dirt anywhere. You could even run barefoot on the outdoor stone paths. Breakfast is another highlight. Having stayed in several hotels in Chaoshan over the past few days, this was the only one that truly offered authentic Teochew-inspired breakfast options, and everything was incredibly fresh and delicious. An 'auntie' staff member saw us with our children and kindly offered them some German-made candies with good ingredients. Both the mini-bar selections and the bathroom amenities were also of excellent quality. The hotel also has a resident cat, Xiongda, who is incredibly adorable with his short legs. When the front desk staff noticed I wanted to pet him, they even offered me a cat treat stick. The next day, I wanted to give Xiongda another treat, but the front desk attendant kindly informed me that he had already had two for the day and couldn't have more. It's clear they genuinely care for the cat and prioritize his well-being. I'll definitely be visiting other hotels in the 'You Xiong' series in the future. What particularly impressed me was noticing, while walking around, that the hotel is equipped with an AED. This suggests the owner is truly thoughtful and responsible – very impressive! However, one minor point for improvement is that the room felt a little too much like a display suite, making it perhaps a bit too business-oriented for a relaxing holiday."

"Still craving Shantou cuisine since last summer, this was my second stay at the Golden Gulf Hotel. Its location is superb, being close to the city center and just a 10-minute walk from Longyan South Road Snack Street, which is bustling with eateries. The hotel lobby is spacious and bright, and the front desk staff were very welcoming. Check-in was efficient and smooth. The rooms are spacious, elegantly and comfortably decorated. The bed was soft, the room was neat and clean, and came with all the necessary amenities. The hotel's fitness facilities are well-equipped, and there's also a heated swimming pool – perfect for working off all the delicious food after a culinary tour! I was delighted to meet 'Tuhao Ge' again; he was incredibly enthusiastic, recommending excellent dining spots and travel itineraries for the Chaoshan region. I'm truly thankful for the encounter! This time, I also had the opportunity to try the Chinese restaurant on the second floor. Every dish was freshly prepared by hand, making them healthy, fresh, and delicious. Overall, the Shantou Golden Gulf Hotel excels in its facilities, service quality, and location, making it an ideal choice for business or leisure travelers to Shantou. I would definitely consider staying here again on my next visit."

"The hotel boasts a fantastic kids' pool, which was an absolute hit with our children. Inside the room, we particularly enjoyed the automatic curtains and the projector. Our kids loved getting cozy watching movies on the projector, and when they'd had enough screen time, they'd head straight to the pool. Our room was spotless, the overall environment was very pleasant, and the front desk staff provided excellent service. Plus, the location was quite convenient."
