3-Star Hotels in Shantou

This guesthouse is located in the Shiyihe Art Village, near Shantou High-speed Rail Station. It's quiet, clean, and tidy inside. Each room has its own bathroom and they're all quite spacious. There's even an additional bathroom in the courtyard. The entire guesthouse spans over 200 square meters, boasting a stylish and minimalist design. You can do karaoke and cook here, making it ideal for large families or gatherings with friends. It's very comfortable, and the host is super responsive to any issues. The village itself is also great for a stroll; it has preserved many traditional elements, with all the houses being small, uniform quadrangle courtyards. The streets and alleys are quite clean, and there are many dining options nearby. You can drive into the village's main archway street, but access to the smaller alleys is limited to walking or electric scooters. However, the host will help with luggage.

The service was excellent. The staff were patient and responsive, always greeting us when we met them in the hallway. The tea bar on the first floor was very comfortable, offering tea and water, and was kept very clean. However, the rooms were a different story. Each room reeked of smoke, mildew, and stinky feet. It took one night with the air conditioning running for the smell to dissipate (or maybe I just got used to it). I understand it's a rainy southern climate, but those sensitive to smells should be prepared. For rooms facing the street, I'd recommend bringing earplugs.

This hotel is hands down the best and most affordable one I've stayed at during my week in Shantou. First off, the location is super easy to find, right by the main road. Plus, parking is a breeze and it's free, which is a huge bonus for female drivers like me. The front desk lady even gave us two complimentary breakfasts! The room itself was brand new, the TV had screen mirroring, and the shower pressure was fantastic. I consider myself pretty picky when it comes to hotels, but honestly, I couldn't find a single fault with this one. You can book it with your eyes closed. If I ever go back to Shantou, I'll definitely be staying here again.

I really have to recommend this place! The price was incredibly good value for Chinese New Year, and as a new hotel, it was super clean with modern facilities. The beachfront location is excellent, and my elderly family members were really happy. The only thing that could be improved is that I found the bathroom a little small, but overall, it doesn't stop me from recommending it, haha!

This guesthouse I booked for my trip to Shantou was an absolute gem! It really added such a wonderful, happy vibe to my whole trip. You can tell the owner put a lot of thought into it – the decor has a lovely retro Republic of China style, with solid wood furniture and really comfy bedding. The room was super clean, and the location is just unbeatable. Being able to step out and find food, drinks, and entertainment right downstairs was so convenient. We could just pop back to the room for a rest whenever we got tired. The owner also recommended some fantastic local spots: a beef hotpot place, late-night congee, and Zhenping Guozhi (rice noodle soup) – all incredibly delicious! I've already recommended this guesthouse to my friends; it's truly worth choosing!

This time, I brought my child along, so I decided to stay in the county town. First, let's talk about the location. The B&B's location is excellent, with free parking available. Although it's a short walk, it's manageable. Right downstairs, you'll find various restaurants and bubble tea shops. It's practically the Houzhai CBD, very convenient. The only minor drawback is that the hot water is very slow; it takes a long time to come on. After communicating with the owner, they explained that the pipes are long, and you need to let the cold water run out before the hot water arrives. Now, let's focus on the B&B's hygiene and service. The B&B is located in an older building, but the rooms are all new, and the hygiene is exceptionally well-maintained. It's clean and odor-free, which already surpasses many B&Bs. Furthermore, the attention to detail is excellent. Right outside your room on the same floor, the owner provides various daily necessities (dental floss, rubber bands, hair clips, razors, makeup remover wipes, etc.). So thoughtful! Regarding service, the owner led us to the parking lot on an electric scooter. We hadn't checked in yet, and the owner helped us transport our luggage to the B&B. When we checked in, our luggage was already in the room. My child had hives and scratched their skin until it bled a bit, getting some blood on the sheets. I proactively asked the owner if I needed to pay a cleaning fee, but the owner didn't charge anything. What a generous gesture! The off-season price is also very affordable. Overall, for a 207 RMB B&B, I'd give it a 90 out of 100. The 10 points deducted are in hopes that the owner can improve the hot water facilities. We'll definitely come again if we have the chance!

Kaiyad hotel is located in the main road and its very easy to reach there and also have so much facilities around there specially for foreigners many western restaurants and also if you are coming to business work this hotel is much convenient The hotel is very clean and the staff is very friendly but they don’t have more varieties for breakfast

The room was very tidy and the environment was great, especially our sea view room. However, some maintenance is needed. The water pressure in the room was extremely low! The hot water would turn cold after a few seconds, then stop completely for a few seconds before returning to normal, and this kept repeating 😢. It would be freezing in winter. There's a small soaking tub in the room, but even after an hour of filling, the water only reached our ankles. Plus, the room let in a lot of light.

[”The room was spacious, and the dim lighting created a retro business ambiance. Not only was a free breakfast provided, but also complimentary parking, which was very convenient and hassle-free.”,”The room had a retro business style and was very spacious. The soft, dim lighting created a lovely atmosphere. It also included free breakfast and parking, offering great value for money.”,”What I liked most was the super spacious room, which also came with free parking and breakfast. The retro business decor paired with the dim lighting really set the mood perfectly.”]

This is a decent hotel, it's just not that new anymore. It's a bit old and doesn't offer breakfast. Xiao Min at the front desk was helpful and recommended some great food though!
