Worst hotel I stayed in all my travelling experiences. I have to transferred to the next hotel next day. Is not even a 3 star hotel. Believe is no star motel n not even hotel style. Sorry to say that but one of the staff was very helpful.

Not Good
The toilet / bathroom releases bad smell during the day that the room smelt pretty bad when we arrived back to the room at night. Location wasn't very convenient as it's inside a small road (some taxis refused to enter the road and we have to walk back to hotel from the main road).

Excellent staff & comfortable rooms
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay, enjoyed the vibrant sounds from the zoo nextdoor ..excellent restaurant nextdoor ..the staff were most friendly & some even spoke English which was an added bonus..if you take a stroll through the side streets & back alleys you will most definitely come across some surprises, shops & local restaurants

Not worth the price
On check in, they don't have my record. Had to wait a good 10 mins before they can find it. The room is small and feel humid. Mattress is hard and pillow case is broken. Bathroom don't have places to put your toiletries. The wifi in the evening is bad. On check out, they have to get permission from management to issue me an official receipt.

It's a cheap motel.
Good value for cheap backpackers, but will not serve any business purposes. Daily housekeeping and friendly (but not English fluent) staff. Room has basic amenities, but looks old and minimally furnished. I was satisfied because I wanted a budget stay for a solo trip.

Cheap, clean, close to metro
Easy choice for cost, cleanliness, and metro access. Closesest metro is Line 6 Huanghuagang metro station exit A. Walk past the McDonald's and make a right at the 7-eleven. It's down the street on the right. I booked it for 168RMB/27USD and was very happy. Checkout time is 12.

i stayed here while my visit to canton fair. the staff is helpful and unlike other budget hotels, they know english. they are very freindly people. bus station is very near and subway also very close to the hotel. (huanhuangang station). mc donalds is just a few steps away and there is this zoo just opposite to the hotel. all in all loved this hotel, would definitely recommend.

Not even 1 star hotel
Terrible place: Difficult to find and deposit only in cash. They had to install a hair dryer and I told them not now I need quiet to take care of business. They came in and installed anyway by repeatedly saying 10 minutes and I had to hang up on my partners. Here is the worst part of my stay... 1 room smelled like they just took out a 3 days old corpse out of it, so I paid extra 20 RMB a night for 7th floor. Yet, that room was stinky too. The shower head is on top of toilet. Don't shower until you poop otherwise clothes will get wet afterwards. With all this discomfort and stinky tiny room near a construction site of another hotel, they dared to barge into my room to install the hair dryer. Oh and get this, wifi doesn't work and LAN is so slow you can't do any work. Terrible half a star (motel) hotel!

Nice room, inexpensive.
Not much money for a suite. The WiFi was a bit wanting at times and the bathroom could have been cleaner. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. I don't think they cater to Westerners much, but with a phrasebook and some basic Mandarin, travelers should be able to get by just fine. Write down or screenshot the address on your phone for the taxi.

The staff couldnt speak very good english but they were very friendly. 10 minutes walking to the Underground Metro and Zoo. I was specting a restaurant in the Hotel. Free internet in the rooms, Good!. They made the room, i left valuable goods and nothing happen. No english sign outside the hotel so you need to read chinese or the taxi driver needs to know the place.

Very Disappointing and Not Worth staying at all!
The Hotel was very Hard to Locate and it was very disappointing and the size of the Room was very small and I couldn't fit 3 Pcs of Luggage in it. I would recommend everyone to avoid this so that they don't regret later.

This hotel is a little out of the city centre but in a nice neighbourhood and the underground in the city is good meaning everything is within reach. It is also close to the zoo which is cheap and worth a visit! It is a cheap hotel and offers everything you need if you are not looking for anything too fancy and are prepared to stay a little out of the centre.

Affordale Hotel in Guangzhou, great hotel staff and rooms!
The hotel is located in central Guangzhou near to the Guangzhou Zoo not far from many of the main attractions in Guangzhou. It is just a short walk from the Guangzhou Metro, Zoo Station. The rooms were very clean, smell free, and air-conditioned. The hotel staff was very helpful and spoke English. For the price of this hotel the service and rooms are above average and I will stay here on future visits to Guangzhou. I stayed at the hotel for a total of 22 nights and I was pleased every day with the hotel. Also, the hotel provided daily free and punctual shuttle bus service to the Pazhou Convention Center for the Canton Fair. The manager of the hotel was very helpful and even accompanied me to the local bank to assist me with a personal matter. There is also very good places to eat near by, there is also a very nice bakery and 7Eleven within 50meters of the hotel. I was very pleased with my stay at the Guangzhou Suiyun Hotel and I would recommend this hotel to those looking for an affordable, clean and excellent hotel.

Great hotel and exceptional value!
I stayed in this hotel for two weeks during the Canton Fair on October, 2011. The hotel was priced so low that I was worried about what to expect. I was very impressed! Clean room, great neighborhood with lots of restaurants and located right next door to one of the best Zoos in China. Flat screen TV, high speed WiFi and a hot high shower with lots of water pressure and a free shuttle to and from the Fair. The manager of the hotel personally walked me to the mobile phone store to help me get my new SIM card and helped me every time I needed it. Even the maid service went above and beyond. I left a pile of my dirty laundry on the floor and without asking the maid came in and hand washed everything for me! I don't even get this kind of service in a 5 star hotel!!! The staff at this hotel is very honest. I usually tip when they take my bag to the room or provide room service. They would NOT accept my tip money! WOW! I have never taken the time to write a review before but for this hotel I had to. The SuiYun Hotel gets my HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION!!!

初めて
初めて、ここに、3泊しました。地下鉄に近く、朝は、隣の動物園から、動物の鳴き声も聞こえます。受け付けの人は、英語も話せ、部屋も、部屋まで、案内してくれました。きれいなことは、きれいですが、最初の日、朝遅くシャワーを浴びると、お湯がでなかった。ここは、お湯の利用制限があるようです。中国では、よくあります。それから、朝早くあびたり、夜も早く浴びるようにしました広州東駅からも、地下鉄3駅ぐらいですから、交通の便はいいです。セブンイレブンは、近いですが、あんまりホテル周辺に、食べるところは、ありません。

Room is clean and tidy
The hotel is near by the GuangZhou Animal Zone. A restaurant which is famous in lamb crusines beside it. It seems having renovation recently that the room is so clean and tidy and the new facillities and equipments. However, the walls of room are not thick enough to block the noise coming from the neighbours at night. It is ok if you go to bed late. Staff are nice and friendly. They automatically update my single room to doulble room which is far away from the building which is under construction as the noise starts in the morning.

19 gun kaldıgım otel hakkında söyleyebileceğim tek olumlu sey personelın ıyı nıyetı olabılır. ama bu iş icin hazırlanmamış oldukları için o da yeterli olmuyor. otel çok berbattı eger hata yapıp odemesını peşin yapmamış olsaydım. girdiğim gibi çıkardım. yastık kılıfları nevrasim ve carsaflar yırtık pırtık. hemde degiştirilenlerin hepsi. odalar kuçük internet dogru dürüst çalışmıyor. otelin genel kullanım yerleri temizlenmiyecek şekılde bakımsız .
