Hotels in The Mixc/Longyan South Road Food Street, Shantou

Stayed from July 3rd to July 5th, two nights in a connecting twin room. This is an older five-star hotel, and you can definitely feel its age. The room decor and amenities are a bit dated, showing signs of wear and tear. The breakfast buffet has fewer options than expected and isn't particularly exquisite or extensive, though it does cover basic hot dishes, pastries, and congee – certainly enough to fill you up. If you have high expectations, you might be a little disappointed. Its biggest advantage is the location. It's right in the heart of the city center, within walking distance of Longyan South Road Food Street, making it incredibly convenient to go out for seafood and beef hotpot in the evening. It's a hassle-free choice for foodies and sightseers. This hotel is ideal for travelers primarily focused on food adventures and who aren't too picky about modern facilities. Those looking for brand-new, contemporary amenities might want to compare with other options.

Stayed here for three days with my parents in Shantou. The hotel's location next to Zhongshan Park is super convenient and easy to find. There are plenty of food and drink options nearby, and it's close to all the main attractions. Parking is a breeze, and it's pet-friendly! The rooms are clean and tidy, typical of a reliable chain hotel – you really can't go wrong. Highly recommend!

Hyatt's quality control truly puts you at ease. The hotel's public areas are clean and elegant, and the scent is subtle and not overpowering. Check-in was very efficient with no waiting in line. Every corner of the guest room was meticulously cleaned, and the 24-hour hot water pressure was stable. It feels secure and peaceful to stay here, offering excellent value for money.

This was our second stay, and once again, the environment, service, and location were all superb. They even upgraded us to a twin-bed suite because we were traveling with a child. They also helped us with our laundry, washing and drying it for us. We'll definitely choose this hotel again when we return to Shantou.

Shantou Chronicles: A City Remembered for a Place to Stay Before coming to Shantou, I'd heard that the Leebai Hotel was listed among Ctrip's high-end hotels, and the Doubao app also recommended it frequently. I had high expectations, and once I settled in, I realized that a good place to stay isn't built on reputation alone, but is hidden in the tiny details of everyday life, making you feel secure and even a little homesick. Upon entering the lobby, the front desk ladies greeted me with warm smiles. There was no polite distance in their words; it felt more like meeting old friends. The hallway wasn't the typical cookie-cutter hotel design either. The wall colors and lighting created a peaceful atmosphere, and in a corner, a small inscription read, ”Food as a gift, peace in dwelling.” At first glance, I thought it was just a common saying, but after staying for two days and looking back, it truly felt like a genuine statement. What was most touching were the details easily overlooked by others. Every day upon returning from my outings, the room was always tidied and spotless. The toiletries I'd casually spread out on the vanity were neatly arranged by the housekeeping auntie; clothes I'd washed and left to dry were folded precisely and placed by my pillow when I returned. Whenever I met a cleaning auntie in the hallway, she would always greet me with a smiling nod, her voice soft but warm. A faint, pleasant scent always lingered in the room—not a harsh incense, but something warm, like sun-dried cotton, making me feel relaxed the moment I opened the door. The room had a power-saving card, so there was no need to worry about waiting for the room to cool down in the summer. All these thoughtful touches made me feel at ease. The location was also excellent. Right next door was a bustling wet market; walking through it in the morning, my ears were filled with the sounds of everyday life, and the aroma of local food filled the streets. Not far away was Zhujiang Road Food Street, perfect for an evening stroll, with the fragrance of food wafting everywhere. There was a bike rental station downstairs, so I could cycle out in the morning and return the bike right at the doorstep in the evening. Shantou isn't a large city, so staying here made getting around convenient, without wasting too much energy on transportation. The hotel also provided a hand-drawn tourist map, clearly showing the care put into every stroke. Streets and eateries were marked distinctly, eliminating the need to search for guides. The front desk staff patiently recommended local restaurants, all places frequented by locals, not just tourist traps. The coffee at the bar was also good, with a lingering aroma. Even after drinking it at 1 AM, I was still energetic and wide awake. It's clear that the owners understand how to live; they have a knack for business yet possess a sense of aesthetics. Everything is thoughtfully considered, yet subtly executed. If there was any shortcoming, it would be that the bathroom pipes occasionally made a sudden noise at night. In the quiet of the night, the sound was particularly distinct, and on two occasions when I was a light sleeper, I was startled awake. However, this minor flaw was overshadowed by the overall comfort and peace of mind I experienced throughout my stay, so it wasn't a significant issue. Initially, I booked for two nights, but by the second day, I didn't want to leave, so I extended my stay for another night. When traveling, it's rare to find a place that makes you feel so at ease. It's like walking and suddenly stumbling upon a cool, shaded spot under an eaves; once you sit down, you don't want to rush to get up. Over the past few days, I also tried a few hotpot places, sampling both Tianshan Beef and VIP Beef. Personally, I preferred Tianshan's; the beef had a faint milky aroma, and the beef tendon meatballs were incredibly springy. The Zhujiang Rice Noodle Roll shop next to the hotel is also worth a visit; having a plate in the early morning made my stomach feel warm all day long. People used to say that you fall in love with a city because of a person. Now I realize that you can also be willing to revisit a city because of a place to stay. Next time I come to Shantou, I think I will still choose to stay here—not because of its luxury, but because it makes you feel like you can have a sense of home and stability even when you're away.

On another short trip to Shantou with the kids, I once again chose the Sheraton Chaoshan Hotel. Its location is superb, with the MixC Mall nearby offering incredibly convenient access to food, shopping, coffee, and tea. This trip was all about relaxing, eating, and drinking. I booked an Executive Seaview Twin Room at the Sheraton. We arrived on an early morning flight, explored the surroundings, and after about an hour's wait, we were able to check in around noon. Our room on the 22nd floor of the executive level offered even better views. The sky was crystal clear before the typhoon, and looking out from the room at the inner sea and the bridge was simply beautiful! The Executive Lounge is on the 23rd floor. The afternoon tea at 2 PM had delicious pastries and sandwiches, and the evening simple meal at 7 PM was great. Enjoying it while looking at the blue sky and white clouds outside was truly delightful. Zora, who served us at the lounge after check-in, was warm and attentive, and to our surprise, she even brought us a lovely little bear cake in the evening – cute and delicious. Breakfast is served on the first floor starting at 6:30 AM, featuring many Teochew specialties like rice noodle rolls, glutinous rice dumplings (wu mi guo), freshly cooked clay pot congee, and beef noodles. We enjoyed a variety of dishes every day, so much so that we could skip lunch! While the Sheraton has been around for a while, I genuinely enjoy its opulent style. Coupled with its excellent location and service, I'll likely stay here again on my next visit to Shantou.

The hotel is conveniently located near the city center, close to MixC Mall and Longyan South Road. Upon check-in, the front desk provides local souvenirs and a guide to local food and attractions. They even offer complimentary congee and dim sum as a late-night snack after 9 PM. On my visit, I also received a free room upgrade. The housekeeping staff were excellent; although the minibar is usually restocked during daily cleaning, they were happy to bring items to my room whenever I needed them. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I'll definitely choose this hotel again.

This hotel truly amazed me. I'm quite picky when it comes to hotels, but this was the best one I stayed at during my trip to Guangdong. It's a newly opened hotel, located in a residential area with plenty of local eateries, coffee shops, and bakeries nearby, and very close to Mixc World. The decor is beautiful, and despite being new, there were no strong or unpleasant smells, thanks to their fresh air system. The environment is quiet with no noise, and the rooms are spacious and come with a fridge, which is very convenient. While the entrance isn't grand (perhaps not fully set up yet), inside it's truly a hidden gem. The owner is a handsome young man, and both he and the front desk staff provided excellent service. They gave us welcome gifts, which were very practical. We booked two rooms, and the owner upgraded us for free, helped us with our luggage, and even recommended local food streets and specialties. Anything we needed was delivered very promptly. The cleaning staff were also very friendly. There's free parking available, which is very convenient. My absolute favorite was their wireless makeup mirror – I immediately ordered the same one to be sent to my home! This is a genuine and honest review, hope it helps everyone!

The room was spotless, equipped with a projector and a fridge, making for a very comfortable stay. When checking in, I asked the front desk for a high-floor room, and they quickly accommodated my request. The location is excellent, making it convenient to get anywhere; a quick shared bike ride does the trick. The travel guide they provided was also incredibly useful. There's so much delicious food here! I'll definitely be back in Shantou and will choose this guesthouse again.

I have to commend this hotel for its superb location. To the left of the exit is MixC Shopping Mall, and to the right, about 200-300 meters away, is Longyan South Road Food Street, where you can find all sorts of delicious and trending foods. The room isn't huge, but it's very comfortable. This is my second stay at Atour, and I still think it offers good value for money, although the price was a bit on the higher side during the summer vacation. The front desk service was excellent, and the breakfast was very authentic and tasty. In the evenings, they even offered late-night snacks like white congee and millet congee.
