2-Star Hotels in Shantou

Stepping into the room, I was immediately greeted by a breathtaking 180-degree sea view. The room was spotlessly clean and even came with a Marshall speaker. The owner was incredibly kind and upgraded my room, also recommending some fantastic local eateries and tourist spots. They even gave me a small gift upon check-out. Highly recommend!

Environment: Decent. Location: Super convenient for getting around. If you head straight out and slightly to the left, you can find Jide Sweet Soup and Chenchen Beef Skewers. A fifteen-minute walk to the right takes you to a food street with lots of great eats. I highly recommend Ruru Glutinous Rice, Pork Blood Soup, and a breakfast spot next to Lao Wu Sweet Soup—their Guozhi and Guotiao are delicious, and the braised intestines are amazing, as are their eggs. It was a lucky find! Cleanliness: Very clean! You're not allowed to eat or drink in the rooms, which shows the owner is serious about running a proper hostel. The slippers are washed and disinfected daily, and you have to change shoes when you enter, so it's spotless. I wanted to check out the rooftop on the fourth floor, but it was under renovation, so I'll save that for next time. The building itself is older, but overall it's clean and comfortable. By the way, taking the 105 bus to Nan'ao Island is easy, but I'd suggest getting to the stop the owner recommended early, or starting from the first stop, as seats can sometimes be hard to come by. All in all, a great place! Price: Very budget-friendly for solo travelers. Oh, and remember to bring your own toiletries; it would be nice if they provided them.

This stay was fantastic! The room was clean and tidy, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and I slept soundly until morning. The front desk staff were friendly and attentive, and check-in was quick. The hotel's location is convenient, with many dining and shopping options nearby. The breakfast had a wide variety of choices and tasted great. The most pleasant surprise was the excellent soundproofing in the room; it was very quiet. I will definitely choose this hotel again next time I'm here and will recommend it to my friends!

The location is excellent, right in the heart of the business district, very close to all the popular dining spots. It's also super convenient to grab a taxi to Little Park or the ferry. The owner was very thoughtful with preparations, even providing souvenirs and tea, which was a nice touch. Any issues in the room were addressed quickly. The highlight is definitely the incredible view. As soon as you enter the room, you're greeted by a huge window overlooking the river. Even on a cloudy day, the view is stunning. The curtains by both beds also open up to large floor-to-ceiling windows, which is a fantastic sight. And the hot water is perfectly fine! I had a very comfortable shower. I saw some comments saying the hot water wasn't enough, but you just need to wait about 15 minutes – basically the time it takes to dry your hair – and then you can enjoy a really good, long shower. We showered for over half an hour. Considering the price and location, it's an excellent choice.

Before traveling to Nan'ao Island, I chose this B&B after reading online reviews. Very satisfied after checking in. First of all, Boss Xiaolin is very enthusiastic and takes the initiative to introduce nearby bus routes, food, and tourist attractions. In addition to the standard quilt on the bed, I also asked to add a single quilt, and the boss readily agreed. The room is large and well equipped, and the bedding is great. You can see the sea when you stand in front of the window, and you can reach the beach in ten minutes' walk. The bus stop for entering the island is just downstairs, and the stop is called ”Tianyu Villa”. At the beginning of the lively Promenade. After entering the island, the bus passed by here first before heading to the town. Two stops away from the bustling visitor center. It is recommended for tourists visiting Nan'ao Island to stay here, you will not be disappointed.

I stayed for three nights. The location is in the old town, a place with a lot of historical significance. The guesthouse room is about 30 square meters, very spacious, and even has a projector and a small balcony—surprisingly, it's only a little over 100 yuan! The landlady is very prompt in cleaning and replenishes all items. The guesthouse is a five-minute walk from a small park, and there are also some unique photo spots for photographers. You can take a taxi to the square ferry; it only costs one yuan to enjoy a stunning sunset on the boat! I recommend arriving around 4:30 pm. If you want to eat, take a taxi to Longyan South Food Street—there's a dazzling array of food to choose from!

The hotel hallway carpet was dirty. The elevator smelled bad. The room had a musty smell. The bathroom drain was dirty. (The elevator smelled particularly bad; they sprayed something like perfume on it, creating a mixed fragrance and stench.) I booked a triple room, but the actual room was completely different from the photos on Ctrip. Pictures are really just for reference… And the room was very expensive, over 300 yuan, not worth it at all. I won't stay here again…

Exceptional Stay – Panorama Sea View Every staff member I encountered – from reception to housekeeping – went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Their friendliness, efficiency, and genuine hospitality really made me feel valued as a guest. They also help to receive my taobao delivery of parcels. Well down for all staff. They also specially provide our room upgrade for seaview to our special honeymoon couple. The hotel’s room & lobby cleanliness is well-maintained. My room felt fresh, tidy, and inviting, with thoughtful touches that showed the care and attention put into daily upkeep. The housekeeping team did an amazing job, and I truly appreciated their promptness and consistency throughout my stay. The location is also a major highlight – conveniently situated near key attractions located at seaside , dining options, yet peaceful enough for a restful night’s sleep. It made exploring the area effortless, and I could easily return to the hotel for a quick rest before heading out again. The amenities are well-equipped, thoughtfully designed to cater to both leisure and big group of families. From the helpful lounge areas to the private big room, and in-room conveniences, everything was in place to make my stay both enjoyable and productive. Overall, my experience here was nothing short of excellent. It’s rare to find a place that delivers consistently on all fronts – service, location, and amenities – but this hotel truly does. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for their dedication and kindness. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area, and I look forward to returning in the future.

If you're just looking for a place to get a good rest, this is it. The room was clean, though the bathroom felt a bit old. They offer a simple Chinese breakfast. The hotel is located opposite the old station; to get to the new station, you'll need to take a taxi for about 2km. It's still pretty centrally located, but a bit far from the city center. However, it's very quiet at night with no traffic congestion, which is nice. For traveling with elderly family members, I'd say it's a decent spot.

The hotel's location is super convenient, right near the Xinghuaqiao East bus stop. It's just a short walk after getting off the bus, making travel really easy. The room was quite spacious and comfortable to sleep in. Overall, it's decent and offers good value for money.
