4-Star Hotels in Shantou

The room was spacious and very clean. Even though it's next to an elevated highway, it was surprisingly quiet at night. There are a few good restaurants within walking distance nearby. You can grab a shared e-bike to get to the food street. I'd definitely stay here again next time I'm in town.

The room was clean and tidy, beautifully decorated and stylishly designed. The facilities were excellent and easy to use, and the bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable for a good night's sleep. The service was top-notch, and the hotel's location was superb, with everything you could need downstairs. My whole family was very satisfied, and we'll definitely be back and recommend it to friends.

The hotel is wonderful, the service, the interiors, and literally everything. BUT. There are a few annoying little things: a corporate video with a song constantly plays in the elevator and lobby, and after several uses a day, it literally gets stuck in my head. It irritates me that someone is recording songs in my head without my knowledge. The light controls in the room are very inconvenient - they are very bright and turn on by themselves with the slightest movement. The bright light at night disrupts my sleep, and it literally irritates and infuriates me when it is constantly on. I am also irritated by the TV, which turns on every time I enter the room. I don't like any unnecessary details that disrupt my focus and distract me. I have to spend an extra action to find the remote and turn it off. Also, during cleaning, the staff throws away my disposable toothbrushes and toothpaste every day. This is yet another unnecessary action that I have to do to brush my teeth - open a new package, open a tube of toothpaste, and do this every day.

Kevin at the front desk was very welcoming, the environment was good, and the breakfast was great. I stayed for two consecutive days and it was excellent. I also recommend Sixi restaurant across the street, the food was good and the staff were all very friendly. ❤️

Came to Chaoshan for a food tour and found this elegant accommodation. The room was clean, bright, and tastefully decorated with a gentle touch. Amy at the front desk was warm and friendly, making us feel relieved from travel fatigue the moment we walked in. The location is excellent for getting around, offering both lively local vibes and peaceful tranquility. The environment is quiet and refined, with thoughtful touches everywhere. It was a comfortable and healing stay, making it the perfect base for a trip to Shantou. Highly recommend! 👍

My stay this time far exceeded my expectations, definitely a five-star review! First off, I was pleasantly surprised with a free upgrade. The front desk service was incredibly thoughtful; they proactively informed me about the room upgrade during check-in, making the whole process smooth and welcoming. The location is simply perfect. It's just a few minutes' walk to MixC, which is super convenient for shopping. Even better, it's also close to Longyan South Road Food Street, so you can just step out in the evening and start your culinary adventure. Beef hotpot, raw marinated seafood, oyster omelets – you name it, it's all there. It's truly a foodie's paradise! The room was clean and tidy, the bedding was comfortable, and the facilities were complete, making for a very relaxing stay. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I will definitely choose this place again next time I visit Shantou.

No regrets paying more for this beautiful homestay! 花多点钱住这里一点遗憾也没有！ My parents, sibling and I stayed for a total of 3 nights in their 4 pax room. It’s a beautiful and tastefully decorated accommodation with personal courtyard and interior. Bed and duvet were so comfortable especially in the chilly weather of 18 ~ 22 degrees. I didn’t spot anything obvious I can complain about regarding the cleanliness of this place, hence 5/5 for cleanliness. Location is perfect (5/5). Next to streets of food places that have good ratings, and super near 万象城 shopping mall (restaurants, luxury shops, retail and more). Anyways cabbing around Shantou is really convenient, fast, and affordable. Even though it is nested amongst other tall residential area, once we close the door we couldn’t hear much noise from outside. Service is 5/5 as well. There’s free pickup and drop off serviced from the railway station. There’s daily fresh fruits delivered to us, as well as chicken soup. There’s also free laundry service which we really appreciate! Staffs were always ready to help and always ready to give recommendations. We really felt their hospitality and they are genuine in providing best service possible. Amenities is 5/5 as well. The hair dryer is Laifen brand which is so strong and sleek looking. They provide disposable towels on top of those reusable towels. Their slippers are fluffy and comfy. They have like everything we need. Bonus: Their residential cat and her kittens are adorable!!! All in all wonderful stay and would stay again if i ever visit Shantou again. Suggestions for improvement: (1) more variety in breakfast options (stayed for 3 nights and felt that some breakfast options would be great), and (2) the shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner are a little too hard to pour out maybe can consider using press bottles.

The front desk staff were incredibly warm and helpful. Our sea-view room offered a stunning panorama, and the location was super convenient for getting around. The smart facilities were easy to use, and breakfast was delicious. When my child got an upset stomach late at night and we needed to go to the hospital, the hotel provided incredibly thoughtful assistance.

The hotel location is excellent, the room is spacious and bright, and the bathroom has no unpleasant odor. The shower water was hot enough and had good pressure. I slept soundly, feeling completely at ease.

What I loved most about my stay at the Golden Gulf was two things: their dim sum breakfast and the location. First, the dim sum. The Jinhe Hall truly lives up to the reputation of a long-standing five-star hotel. The shrimp dumplings are freshly made and steamed, with thin skins and juicy, bouncy filling – a real delight in every bite. The phoenix claws are steamed until tender and flavorful, and the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup uses authentic, high-quality ingredients! The ambiance is also pleasant, with a spacious dining hall and high ceilings. The location couldn't be better. It's right in the city center on Jinsha Road, next to MixC World and Suning Plaza. It's only a few minutes' walk to Longyan South Road Food Street, perfect for an evening stroll to sample all sorts of Shantou snacks. There's also an airport express bus stop right at the entrance, making it super convenient to get to Chaoshan Airport and Shantou Station – no worries about transportation at all. As for the room, being an older five-star hotel, the facilities do show their age and aren't particularly trendy. However, they are clean, tidy, and spacious enough. The staff are also very friendly and helpful, making the overall stay comfortable. If you're not too picky about the newest hardware, this place offers excellent value for money, especially for its dim sum and prime location. I'll definitely choose it again next time I visit Shantou.
