I really cant fault this hotel in all aspect, the check in and check-out was smooth and request of late check-out for 2 hours was granted with no question asked, Jianguo is kind of old fashion 4-5 star hotel, as hotel was built more than 10 years ago.
Everything works, clean, decent size room, the wifi is rather slow compare with 2 other hotels that i stayed in Guangzhou during the same trip.
The chamber maid offered bed turning service which is rare in most 4 to 5 star hotel, refilled the bathroom amenities and also asked whether any laundry service needed.
I did not had the breakfast so is not able to comment on the service and quality.
With the Subway Station just opposite the Hotel, you are actually close to everywhere and there are many eateries and shopping just opposite the Hotel.
Overall is a pleasant stay and i don't mind going back for my stay even though there are so many new hotel sprouting out there in Guangzhou.

My friend told me to stay at Jianguo Hotel and he was right. I like this hotel. I stayed here for 4 nights.

Nice location, just next to ikea, mall, and train station (if you want to go to Hong Kong after it's so easy)
But i had a hard time of communication, because the staff can't speak English at all. Lucky me i have a friend who lived in town so he helped me out with directions, checked in-out ,etc
Breakfast was good.
Overall i like everything about this hotel but the unhelpful staff.

i stayed a few times between 2009-2010, for business and holiday.
the key points that i choose here are; excellent location, affordable price, good quality.
i think this hotel is pretty old and not superior to other newer hotels in facilities. however there are general facilities and it is well maintained.

room;
standard 4star room, bed was hard.
interior design is so simple and minimal, i agree with someone's review "if you love Zen,,," brah brah.
there are free LAN internet, i forgot wifi availability.
my room was located station square, the view was bleak and dull.

bathroom;
normal 4star bath room, clean, water pressure is well.
amenities are available.

reception;
checkin/out was so smooth. receptionist and door man are helpful, they can speak english.
always smiling.

location;
just excellent.
near from guangzhou east station, subway subway station, and shopping mall.
if you go to hong kong/shenzhen after guangzhou, it is one of the best candidate (as well as Westin).

Great location just next to metro and rail station; excellent service; excellent view of the piazza down the street; excellent room; we were with a baby and rhe staff took any necessary measure in order to assist, stayed for 5 nights and there is not even one negative thing I can say about this place.

Stayed four nights in a King room on a high floor. All the staff speak English are very helpful with suggesting city sights/locations. Breakfast is wonderful with many choices. The dumplings at breakfast are really good. Checked in late - not a problem. The train station and metro are across the street. Free bottled water every day. Many bathroom amenities provided. Leave the toothbrush and razor at home. We ate at local restaurants only. (not listed on TripAdvisor) Still waiting for TripAdvisor's approval to post them. We were two and ate for 98RMB the first night and 89RMB the second night (entrees, plates, tea included). The hotel restaurants were empty and more expensive. I don't usually eat in hotels. I didn't use room service. Bed was firm and best for the back. Comforter and pillows were plush. The pool was a bit small but nice for dip. The sauna was good. Mini fridge in the room. Hot water kettle with coffee and tea provided.
Foreign TV stations include HBO,CNN,Bloomberg,TV5 Monde (French). This company is opening many more hotels and I can understand why people like them. Service is exceptional. I would not hesitate to book with Jinguo again.
