Dong Fang Hotel

Very nice hotel very friendly staff mu flight was delayed so i got late checkout until 4PM Thanks to EVAN JACK and all the staff

I had a truly wonderful stay at this hotel. The front desk staff was incredibly kind, and I want to give a special thanks to Dan. She was amazing and even upgraded my room! Thanks to her, I spent two very comfortable nights in a spacious and beautiful room. The interior of the hotel features a traditional Chinese aesthetic that is both luxurious and impeccably clean. Every staff member I encountered was friendly and professional. I also thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast buffet—there were so many varieties to choose from! For business travelers, the round-trip shuttle to the Canton Fair is a huge plus. The location is also fantastic: there is a large shopping mall and many great restaurants right in front of the hotel. Most of Guangzhou's famous landmarks are within a 10–20 minute taxi ride, and it takes about 40 minutes to reach the airport. I had a very relaxing stay and will definitely choose this hotel again for my next visit to Guangzhou. Thank you again, Dan!

The hotel is as we remembered - still as classy and elegant, with its stunning lobby and beautifully manicured central courtyard garden. The suite we were upgraded to has been recently renovated to a high standard and there are signs that other parts of the hotel are undergoing refurbishment too (for example, work on the roof) which is a good sign of regular maintenance. A pity though that the breakfast, whilst still brimming with choice and variety, has lost some of its quality. Breakfast at the hotel was, during our last visit, a serene experience we anticipated every morning. On our current revisit, the breakfast room has become chaotic and noisy like a railway terminal, as the hotel appears to gear increasingly towards catering for large conference groups. Tables, hitherto confined to the actual breakfast room and the lovely tree-arbored terrace overlooking the fountains and ponds, have now spilled over into the colonnaded corridors of the garden, ruining both the ambience and lowering the tenor of what used to be an elegant ritual. The calibre of the hotel guests seems to have deteriorated as well, which is a pity for this iconic, historic hotel.

Comfortable stay, walking distance to the beautiful Yuexiu Park and nearby Guangdong Train station.  Kudos to Carmen, who gave us warm welcome and patiently answered our questions about the place.
