Ramada by Wyndham Pearl Guangzhou Reviews

I visited this hotel for Dragon Boat Festival weekend and it was the best decision made! The hotel is located right along the Pearl River in Yuexiu District within walking distance to the Canton Tower, Opera House, Sports Park and other popular sites. Convenient shopping and restaurants around hotel and easy to find hotel and see it. Beautiful views of both the river and the Tower. Was nice to wake up to an actual Dragon Boat Race on the river . Reception is helpful and friendly. Expect to pay a deposit equivalent to the room rate for each night (although Trip.com notes states 1000 kuai deposit, I paid 1500 for my two night stay but it will be refunded to my card eventually as confirmed on checkout, so make sure you have enough available for the deposit). Most staff at the hotel from reception to housekeeping speak basic English which is very convenient and makes communication easier. I was initially checked into the incorrect room but reception very quickly changed me to my correct room within a quick call. The bell hop came up which helped save time and was very friendly. The amenities in the room are excellent and while there were some negative reviews about “old furniture”, which, yes, might be a bit dated but actually fits the style of the room and more importantly was clean, well maintained and comfortable. The bathroom extractor did make an awfully loud sound (like crickets) but really not so bad as to affect sleeping. I was very impressed by the quality of the bathroom products (worked wonderfully to protect against mosquitoes and high quality!). Although the hotel states they don’t supply toothbrushes and such, they actually supply a full toiletry kit and replenish it daily. Water pressure and heat is great regardless of time of day. The bathtub is a little small and not very deep but also good. My only complaint is that the bath plug/stopper did not fully close so when taking a bath, the water would keep needing to be refilled causing a lot of water wastage. Also, Internet access when using the Ramada Backup preferred option was not great and I could not connect 🛜 fortunately, I could use the Ramada general Internet which offered better signal but required regular phone number access code for use. I stayed in a smoking 🚬 room which is quite lovely considering very few hotels offer this option and is a big reason why I booked the hotel. That being said as the floor to ceiling windows do not open it did, obviously, make the room and floor stuffy and smelly. It might be worth installing an extractor fan or having an air purifier in these rooms. The pool is lovely and big! I must say I am glad I read the reviews first because I brought a swimming cap and was able to use it. I suggest management include this in the details as it could be quite frustrating to people like me who book hotels primarily for the pool then only find this out upon arrival. The other thing to note is that the pool is actually in a different building at the Health Center so it’s not that quick to access from the hotel although it closes at 22:00. It is actually a paid for center so there are members there not part of the hotel. That being said, reception is helpful and will offer hotel guests a free towel but be sure to ask for it. Overall, I was extremely impressed with the level of amenities, service and care of all the hotel’s staff and will definitely choose this hotel again when visiting GZ. Thank you very much for a brilliant stay.

Clean, great location. Enjoyed the bathtub. Didn't use it, but the outside pool looked lovely. Good choice for breakfast. Good value for money. Will definitely stay here again.

Hotel is a little dated but my room was very clean and in excellent condition, as well as very spacious with a lovely view over the river. A great price for the location. Easy walk to great bars and restaurants. I would stay here again.

The hotel has a beautiful outdoor resort pool with end to end swim of 35 metres. It also has a smaller 20 metre length indoor lap pool. Both are open 7:00~22:00, so it is a great hotel for business trips, you can swim before or after your work day. They also have 2 or 3 squash courts. Breakfast selection was quite good. Their are nice local restaurants within walking distance and you are a 2 minute walk from the Pearl River which is lovely to walk along in the day or evening.

I chose this hotel because of its location and the fact is has an indoor pool. The pool was very quiet and it allows proper lane swimming. Really good. However there was a bad smell in the room and small flies in the bathroom. The toilet flush wasn't working and it made noise the whole night. I informed the staff in the morning and they fixed it straight away. Overall, a pleasant experience especially because of the pool. In spite of the bad smell I will probably go back, hopefully my next room will be better. The sheets were really clean too.

Good location, good facilities indoor and outdoor swimming pool. Personally less prefer carpet

Nice hotel in a great location. Rooms are showing their age but are still comfortable enough. Swimming pool is fantastic and a great place to relax and cool down after a day exploring the city.

Average worn hotel of a bygone era. They will not let you swim in the outdoor pool without a cap. You can buy one for 15 dollars. Smelled heavily of cigarettes.

Good location, close to city center. Very nice view to the river and Canton tower. Lovely swimming pool. Good deal for price.

The location is very good with a view of the Canton Tower. The staff were very professional and helpful excellent service. Stay on the ninth floor of you want an updated room.

Staying at the Ramada Hotel allowed me to enjoy the city even more. The staff is really friendly and helpful, is close to main attractions of the city and right next to the river. The common areas are good and the buffet breakfast had many options to choose from, you can see the Canton Tower from their pool area too where they also have gym, sauna and even indoor badminton courts. Would definitely stay here again when visiting Guangzhou again.

the hotel is well located. Little bit old, but still OK. There is a swimming pool. the view on the canton tower is great.

This is the second time I have visited this Hotel.As always the facilities are excellent,especially the Gym,Jacuzzi,Sauna and indoor hot pool available for both genders.The personell are very hospitable.If I may give some constructive criticism, the lunch self help at the California Restaurant was a bit dissapointing.They should have more variety of meat,and fish.Last time there was Sushi available for dinner, however this time for lunch no Sushi.And lamb or pork or mutton as an extra meat dish.They should also have a dry white wine on the Wine List at a reasonable price.They can contact Me at info@devillierswines.com -18826334160 , and I will supply.

A bit old but the staff is very friendly and welcoming.
