Dear Guangzhou Jianguo Hotel Team,
I am delighted to have the opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent service provided by your hotel staff, especially the outstanding performance of your reservation agent, Ms. Li.

Our experience at Westin GZ was great. It started off a bit dicey as the room temperature was too high. It was at a constant 24.6C. Also, the shower was intermittently hot and cold. However, upon raising the issues with Michael Zheng at the front desk, he was very apologetic and made it up by changing our rooms to one that he had personally checked to be within our comfort zone (approx. 21C).
Westin is a high end hotel which will never be without issues just like any hotels in the world no matter its prestige. As such, it is still one of my hotels of choice and I won’t hesitate to stay at Westin GZ again. In fact, I’m planning a trip in April 2025 and I’ll be booking this place again.

With easy access to taxis, we are able to travel to other parts of Guangzhou from the hotel with ease. The hotel is spacious, clean, well maintained, well equipped and staffed by highly trained and helpful staff. The morning breakfast buffet is value for money - it has a wide range to suit health conscious individuals like myself and picky eaters like my children. We stayed there for 9 nights and our view from the 25th floor is spectacular especially at night. The staff were also very sweet and thoughtful - they took the initiative to pack breakfast for us ahead of our early flight at 6am so that we could have a warm and sumptuous meal at the airport before we departed. We highly recommend this hotel to any families looking for a clean, spacious, safe and accessible location for an amazing time in Guangzhou.FromSGD 67

I had stayed in China Hotel for 6 days. Good location and convenient for public transport such as MTR. Different food varieties in breakfast time. However I observed that the table mat after used was not replaced. Some vacant table did not have forks and knife ready on table. Some cups and plates had stuck with dirt. Overall cleansing within restaurants just met the standard. Next, the massage room environment not comfortable. Quite a lot of old machines kept inside massage room just like a store room. We ordered a 60 minute massage but the actual massage time just around 50 minutes. No music inside massage room during 50 minutes massage reduced the relaxation feeling. Overall the massage service not up to standard and need much improvement. Would not suggest the low cost Massage performance.FromSGD 106

**Hotel Review: A Seamless Stay with Exceptional Service**
I recently stayed at this hotel during a business trip, and I must say, it was an excellent experience from start to finish. From the moment I walked in, the check-in process was quick and efficient, setting the tone for a hassle-free stay. The lobby was welcoming, and the overall ambiance was calm and professional—perfect for a business traveler.
The room was spotless, well-maintained, and equipped with all the necessary amenities. The cleanliness and attention to detail were impressive, making it easy to relax and focus on work. The Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, which is always a plus when you're on a tight schedule.
What truly stood out, however, was the exceptional service provided by Lena at the reception. I had an urgent need for a laptop charger, and Lena went above and beyond to help me. She quickly suggested ordering one through a quick-commerce website and even assisted me with the process. Her proactive approach and willingness to help made a huge difference in my stay. Thanks to her, I was able to continue my work without any interruptions.
Overall, this hotel exceeded my expectations. The combination of clean, comfortable accommodations and outstanding service—especially from Lena—made my business trip smooth and productive. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling for work or leisure. I will definitely stay here again on my next visit!FromSGD 78

We had a couple of hours between our flights and decided to take Pullman hotel due to its location and since we had great experience in one of their Thailand hotels. It is only 5 minutes away from T2 by shuttle bus. Beds are comfortable. The room was too hot, probably 28 degrees C and cooling did not work.
There is a misinformation in mobile trip.com app that airport pick-up and drop-off should be reserved one day in advance (screenshot attached). Due to this we lost an hour trying to do it through the app and by contacting Pullman using contact information from the app. Person answering the phone did not speak English and even communication in Chinese went aside as manager assumed we are trying to get private transfer.

Positives:
1. Exceptional Staff: Ivan is truly outstanding. My wife faced some medical issues during our stay, and Ivan went above and beyond, providing exceptional care and support, which greatly enhanced our experience.
2. Spacious Room: The room was large, clean, and featured a beautiful bathroom and dedicated office space. The view was fantastic, overlooking the cityscape.
3. Prime Location: The hotel is centrally located, offering easy access to major attractions and stunning views of Guangzhou’s skyline.
Areas for Improvement:
1. Housekeeping: We stayed for two nights, but housekeeping only serviced our room once, which was disappointing.
2. Breakfast Experience: While the breakfast selection was fine, the area was overcrowded, and the atmosphere felt less upscale compared to more prestigious hotels.
3. Pool Facilities: The pool is quite small and was crowded with children, making it noisy and not relaxing. Additionally, the requirement to wear swim caps and the chaotic atmosphere detracted from the experience.

The idea of this service is amazing: you can have a private room and take a shower in the airport, perfect for a one night layover.
However, it's a pity that the cabins are placed along a corridor leading to a carpark and so many people pass by talking loudly and careless of the ”be quiet” signs, even late at night. So bring your earplugs.

The location is good proximity to Guangzhou Railway Station. However the check-in service isn't too great. It took quite a while to handle the ~2-3 guests in front of me (waiting ~15 min to check in). They asked for a 200RMB deposit, but didn't provide a receipt or anything for the deposit - which I was a bit apprehensive of since it's cash. Though they did pay it back no questions asked.
The room is OK, but for the price, I would at least expect it to be properly clean. However as you can see from the photos, the edges of the floor were visible dirty, as were the sealant in the bathroom.
I think for the cleanliness, a more appropriate price would be like 150RMB/night (not the ~300RMB/night I paid).FromSGD 41
