Paco Hotel (Guangzhouta Datang Metro Station) Reviews

The hotel location is not bad, close to the Canton Tower, many museums and theatres. There are many small shops and food places around but the surrounding is noting fancy. Definitely it's not the place where would you come with a boyfriend or girlfriend. There is a beautiful park and lake close to the metro station. I booked a budget room and I got what I paid for - simple room with basic amenities, little bit old but still not looking bad.

International traveler here. Very clean, cool looking and spacious room. I even got upgraded for free but the upgrade didn't matter much the room was pretty much the same as I booked. Location is okay you will feel like you are in old china near the textile industry places etc. Very local but nice. Subway is not that far too (7min) I would say.

Good location for canton fair. Easy to get around. The room is decent but the carpet is smelly. Overall okay, but not super clean

This is 3* not 4. The hotel is in dire need of a major interior renovation. Old, poorly ventilated rooms, unless you’re put in one of the corner rooms with windows, with a small one that can be slightly opened. Their options for upgrading were close to none because of the Canton Fair. The first “non-smoking” room I stayed in reeked of cigarette smoke - staff said they didn’t have any rooms left that night, so I blasted the AC on high, wore an ASTM level 2 mask with the duvet over my head hoping that would minimize the stench of secondhand smoke. Basically got no sleep that night. Then they put me in a room that smelled like mold, with visible mold on the walls and ceiling, but at least the smell wasn’t as bad as the smoke. The AC kept making random noises into early hours of the morning. I managed to get some poor quality sleep for the next 2 nights 🫥 Then, I was moved to a room with a window, which was relatively better ventilated than the first two rooms. Sadly the stained carpets, wobbly and outdated furniture didn’t make being in that room any more enjoyable. For all that hassle and feeling sick from the smoke and mold I should have moved to another hotel. Another Canton Fair attendee had similar issues as I overheard her shouting at the poor staff. Most are very helpful and kind. In fact I would say the staff’s attitude and service are highly commendable, it’s just that the hotel itself leaves a lot more to be desired.

close to station metro and easy to go to Pazhou Exhibition Centre, but the neighboord is stranged

Really good stay, surrounded by local markets, however the hotel itself is quite old

A great stay at a cool friendly and accommodating hotel. Plus point is just about 10 minutes walk away from the nearest subway.

good clean hotel but in an old area, metro station quite near.

I guess their budget room was really on a budget but on holiday dates. But I learned the hard way to travel only during non-Chinese holiday since the hotels in Guangzhou were expensive during these holidays seasons. And the original price is way cheaper during non Chinese holidays. Air conditioner was noisy, lived on the 7th floor but could hear outside noise even during night time. And could also hear people slamming doors in the hallway.

Definitely not a 4 star hotel, don’t waster your money here!

Very pleasant stay definitely come next time.

Good location, lot of restaurants near by
