Shamian Hotel Reviews

First of all, the location, cannot be better on Shamian island, located opposite the river park with all the activities going on. The room was clean, comfortable with a great roof terrace (no real view), nice bathroom with piping hot water. My overall feeling is that the hotel is a little tired in need of refurbishment and decoration, but the location and room itself makes up for this. I would stay again

good location on Shamian Island

Not good

Hotel rooms a lil bit old, i think long time didn’t renovate it

The biggest advantage of Shamian Hotel is that it is located on the scenic Shamian Island. Next to the hotel is Qiaojia Food, which is a must-try for barbecued pork. If you have a thick wallet, you can enjoy some of the best local dishes. A hundred meters from the hotel is the Pearl River. One kilometer east along the Pearl River is the clock tower, and next to it is the Xidi Wharf, which is very convenient for a night cruise on the Pearl River. So it is very convenient to see Western architecture, watch blockbusters, and take a boat, and it is not tiring, because you can go back to rest when you are tired. So it is very convenient for those with elderly people and children. However, there is also something to say here. The hotel does not have high requirements for basic equipment. When it is time to eat, you can close the windows to avoid the smell of oil smoke. There are also hotels a few dozen meters next to the hotel. Breakfast is given to you in a plastic bag. There are fixed boxed milk and boiled eggs. The others may be sweet potatoes and corn, or some cakes. This is a bit unexpected.

The hotel is located in the core area of ​​Shamian, facing the Pearl River, adjacent to the White Swan Hotel, with convenient transportation and Link Plaza nearby, which is very convenient for tourism and shopping; the room facilities are complete, there is a small restaurant downstairs, guests enjoy discounts, the hotel provides breakfast, the service attitude is very good, and the cost performance is high. Next time I come back to Guangzhou to play, I will continue to stay here

It is adjacent to Shamian South Street. There are 711 and Qiaomei restaurants just outside the door. It is not far from the Pearl River bank. It is convenient and comfortable. You can run around Shamian Island in the morning. It is a relaxing trip with slow life and European architectural style.

I went to Shamian Island in Guangzhou this weekend and chose to stay on the island to better experience all aspects of Shamian. Of course, I couldn't afford to stay at the White Swan, and the Victory Hotel was a bit overpriced, so I chose the Shamian Hotel as the second best option. Shamian Hotel is located at No. 52, Shamian South Street, opposite Shamian Park. It is actually in the same building as Qiaomei Food. The first and second floors are part of Qiaomei Food, and the fourth floor also has the latter's VIP rooms and the hotel's office, and the other areas are the hotel's guest rooms. The 412 executive twin room I stayed in was actually the last one in the corridor. The room price was less than 400 yuan, and it was worth staying there. The decoration of the whole room is not luxurious, and it even retains the style of the previous guesthouse, but basically everything can be used to its full potential. Facing the entrance is the bathroom and shower room. What's more interesting is that his shower room has no sealed door, so I always wonder if the water will splash into the bathroom outside when taking a shower. On the other side of the door is the cloakroom and tea table. The door of the cloakroom needs to be carefully adjusted, otherwise it is not easy to turn off the lights. There are two small bottles of water on the tea table. I saw that someone gave a bad review for this, but I don't think it's worth it. There is a low sofa for luggage next to the tea table, separated by a trash can. The fabric of the sofa seems to have been polluted, but at least it won't dirty the luggage. Opposite the TV are two beds, and between the beds is a bedside table, which is still in the red paint style of the 1980s. There are two single sofas and a coffee table by the window. The sofa and coffee table are not arranged by the window. There is also a walkway behind. Going back to the other side is a corner desk, and there are also plugs to turn on the computer and mobile phone. Of course, when sitting here, the air conditioner is blowing directly in front of you, which is normal. Many hotel rooms are designed like this, because if it is not designed like this, the air conditioner will blow towards the bed. Although the whole room is very old, it is at least quite clean. During the two days of stay, no cockroaches or insects were found, there was no dust accumulation in the corners, no blood or stains on the sheets, and the toilet seat and towels were also clean. I am quite satisfied with this. Of course, I also need to point out that it is impossible to exterminate cockroaches in Guangzhou. When I was about to check out on the last day, I had already dragged my luggage out of the room, and I suddenly found a cockroach lying at the door of 409 in the corridor. This hotel is really in a bad shape. In addition, it should be pointed out that this hotel does not have breakfast. The reason is very simple. The location of the breakfast restaurant on the first floor is Qiaomei Food and another simple restaurant. If you want to have breakfast, you can go to Qiaomei, but I don’t recommend going there. The sixth floor of Taoranxuan next door has a more delicious view of the panoramic view of the Pearl River. Overall, Shamian Hotel is better than I thought. It is cheap but not low-quality, with a superior location and quiet and clean rooms. Except for being a little old, there are no major disadvantages. It is a good choice for personal travel.

The hotel is in a good location, next to two Cantonese tea restaurants and a 711, and it is very convenient for walking along the river. The north-facing rooms are damp, and it would be better if you upgrade to a south-facing room.

I booked an executive double room, but was assigned a regular double room. They said the executive room would be larger and better, and that I could upgrade to an executive double room for an additional 30 yuan. At the time, I also looked at the order carefully, and was assigned to a regular double room. This morning, I looked at the order again and found that I was downgraded. What is the reason for this, and can I get a refund?

The hotel is good, there is free coffee, it is very convenient to go anywhere around, Xiaofang's service is thoughtful

It's too noisy. The sound of the air conditioner outside the other house behind is deafening. You can hear it from anywhere in the hotel. The window locks are broken and not soundproof. Fortunately, the surrounding security is very good. The environment on the island is very good and the transportation is convenient. If the hotel can be renovated and the internal hardware can be upgraded, and the doors and windows can be soundproofed, I would be willing to stay here again even if the price is higher.

This is a very old hotel, and the facilities are not ordinary old. The urine smell hits you in the corridor, the back of the basin in the room is dirty and smelly, and the bathroom partition door cannot be closed. In order to exhaust the smell, you can only turn on the exhaust fan all night and endure the buzzing sound. The only advantage of this hotel is that it is in Shamian. It is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in in terms of hygiene, room supplies, and facilities. I really don't know how it can still operate.

I have wanted to stay at Shamian Hotel for a long time, and I am happy to have the opportunity to realize my wish this time. The hotel is very good, clean and tidy, and a little romantic. It is across the road from the White Swan Hotel, and the beautiful Pearl River is right in front of it, especially the night view is amazing. It is also convenient to eat, and there are all kinds of food. It is even more convenient to travel. There are many bus routes outside Shamian Island. More importantly, the entire Shamian is a scenic area, and you can see the scenery from any position and angle.
