Check in was fast although my international visa card was not accepted by the machines at the hotel. Some hotels accept my card with no problems and some doesn't. I am sure it is because of the equipment they use and so it is good to be warned and have cash at hands or an unwelcome walk to the nearest... more

We are staying here now to complete the adoption of our son. We are staying in the west building which is the old victory hotel. The rooms are beautiful, huge and very clean and new. The staff have been very helpful and accomodating. The breakfast is fine, some nice choices since it was included in our room rate. We have... more

My daughter and I arrived at this hotel late at night. It was our 3rd time to Guangzhou and we had not been luckywith hotels to date we were hoping this was our lucky year. Well from the moment we stepped into the reception area and saw the huge fabulous crystal chandelier we knew we were in the right hotel.... more

We stayed in the Victory Hotel (the old part of the building) in July 2009 for one night, on a weekend getaway to Guangzhou. It is located on Shamian Island, among beautiful (yet mostly run-down) colonial architecture and lush greenery. It is reasonably close to the subway (10 minutes walk across a bridge over a wide road), and to Qingping... more

This hotel is, as most reviewers have said, good value for money. I used the lower rate to give myself an upgraded room in their newer wing. I dont know what the normal rooms are like, but my one was spacious and well equiped. It even included an actual computer with free internet. One oddity was that there's the main... more
