Paco Hotel Guangzhou Jiangtai Road Metro Branch
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
This is a good booking if you want the lowest price among our Guangzhou picks, a short walk to the metro and a varied breakfast. If you can spend €14 to €22 more a night, our other two picks score clearly higher, and guests here report stained carpets and some smoky smells.

This 4-star hotel suits travellers on a tight budget who plan to use the metro and spend most of the day out. Guests say it is a short walk to Jiangtai Road metro station, with restaurants and shopping malls around it.
Facilities are basic on paper: free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a 24-hour front desk. Breakfast options are listed as continental, vegetarian, halal, Asian and buffet, and guests praise both the Chinese and Western choices.
Skip it if you are sensitive to smoke smells or worn carpets. Also skip it if you need a gym, a pool or parking, since none of these appear in our data.
Location and getting around
The hotel is in Hai Zhu, at No.438 South Jiangnan Avenue. The location score is 8.6, and guests highlight the nearby metro station and the restaurants and malls around it.
The headline sights are far on foot. Canton Tower is about 4.9 km in a straight line, roughly 61 minutes walking. Huaisheng Mosque is about 5.3 km, around 66 minutes. CITIC Plaza is about 7.9 km, roughly 99 minutes. Plan on public transport or a taxi for all three.
Because the station is close, getting around should be simple once you know your route. Check journey times for the places you want to see before booking.
What guests say
The score is 8.1 out of 10 from 546 reviews. In a competitive city, that placed it joint 16th of the 17 eligible properties we compared.
Location and breakfast get the most praise. Guests like the short walk to the metro and the choice of nearby food and shopping. The breakfast spread is described as tasty, with a wide range of Chinese and Western dishes and fresh vegetables.
Cleanliness draws the criticism. Rooms are generally tidy with daily housekeeping, but carpets often have stains, and some areas smell smoky. Room size, noise, renovation state and cancellation terms have not been assessed.
Price and how it compares with our other picks
The reference price was €31.66 per night, about €63.32 for two nights. These are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates.
That is 50% below the sample median of €62.90. Our Best Value pick, Guangzhou BaiMing Hotel, was €45.91 per night with a 9.2 score and 3 stars. Our Luxury pick, Arthur Hotel Liwan COCO Park Dongsha Metro Guangzhou, was €53.48 per night with a 9.1 score and 5 stars.
Prices in Guangzhou are low across all three picks. Here you save about €14 a night against Best Value and about €22 against Luxury, but both score a full point higher. For a short stay where every euro counts, this is the one. Otherwise the small extra may be worth it. Breakfast inclusion has not been confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 17 eligible hotels in Guangzhou. This hotel took the Budget slot because it had the lowest eligible reference price once the upscale choice was reserved, with a score still above 8.
