Travellers who want comfort and facilities for little money are the clearest fit. A gym, a spa, a restaurant, a terrace, free parking, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning are listed, and guests score the hotel 9.1 out of 10.
It also suits first-time visitors who worry about the language barrier. Guests mention staff helping with luggage and using translation apps.
Skip it if you want to walk to the famous landmarks. Every sight in our data is well over an hour away on foot. Note, too, that the 5-star rating is estimated by the property rather than official.
Location and getting around Liwan
The address is No.16, Dongsha Avenue, Liwan District, in the Li Wan area. The location score is 8.0 out of 10, the weakest score on this page.
Huaisheng Mosque is about 7.5 km away, around 94 minutes on foot. Canton Tower is about 8.2 km, around 103 minutes, and CITIC Plaza about 11.4 km, around 143 minutes. These are straight-line estimates and all of them are far, so plan on public transport or taxis.
Taxis come with a catch. The hotel is inside a large shopping complex and guests say drivers find the entrance hard to locate. Save the address in Chinese and a photo of the entrance on your phone.
What guests say
The score is 9.1 out of 10 from 458 reviews, joint second of the 17 hotels in our sample.
Staff get the warmest comments, mostly for practical help: carrying luggage and using translation apps to get past the language barrier. Cleanliness is the other strong theme, with interiors described as spotless, modern and well maintained.
The complaint is about access rather than the hotel itself. Being inside a big shopping complex means taxis can struggle to find the way in.
Price and how it compares with our other Guangzhou picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, 10 to 12 November for 2 adults in one room, was €53.48 a night, about €107 for both nights. The sample median was €62.90, so even our Luxury pick came in 15% below it. These are reference prices, not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates.
Our Best Value pick, Guangzhou BaiMing Hotel, scored 9.2 as a 3-star at €45.91 a night. Our Budget pick, Paco Hotel Guangzhou Jiangtai Road Metro Branch, scored 8.1 at €31.66. The extra €7.57 a night over BaiMing buys you the listed spa, gym and restaurant rather than a higher score.
Breakfast styles listed are continental, Asian, American and buffet. Inclusion in your rate is not confirmed.

Before you book

Confirm spa and gym opening times and any fees for your dates. Room size, noise and renovation condition have not been assessed either.
