Picked this hotel to be near the historical part of town rather than a much newer hotel at GZ East / Tianhe. Rooms have been renovated and were clean and tidy. Reception was helpful. But staff who pass by you along the hallway should at least give a polite hello. It's a 5* hotel after all. Overall ambiance isn't really... more

A well managed hotel, but is certainly not a luxury hotel with fancy designs or beautiful furniture. The outside view is quite good no matter it’s river view or city view. I stayed there a few times already, rooms are clean and beds are comfortable. The rate is considered good in Guangzhou area, but internet access is charged. MRT station... more

We were there a long time and were very happy with our stay. If you are staying there for a while then you are most likely adopting. It is a nice hotel with great pools and exellent customer service. Because the ice is safe, we called housekeeping almost every night. They were prompt and always friendly. The only complaint I... more

My trip took place in the year 2000. It was my first visit to China and there to attend an important meeting with China Southern regarding their purchase of our product (aircraft engines).

They are situated on your floor 24/7. At... more

Considering the "standard" of services in China, the service in this hotel is world-class. The people at the front desk are very accomodating and can speak good english. The doormen and bellboys are courteous. 1 minor set back though is their old furnitures, but then again maybe they want to maintain the authentic "chinese" look. Food is also superb especially... more

We stayed at the White Swan for 10 days from May 11th-May 21st. The hotel lobby is beautiful although the it smells a little musty. The breakfast buffet is unbelievable--all kinds of foods that will appeal to Americans, Asians, and Europeans. Very delicious! I think that I gained weight because of the buffet. The rooms are worn and need updating.... more

We stayed here 1 night as part of a tour. Definitely would choose and recommend this hotel. Location is safe and the view over the river at night is exceptional. Service and food range is excellent and the room, although showing some signs of age, was well appointed, clean and practical with a full range of amenities complete with slippers... more
