Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center Shenzhen|1.44km from downtown
The stay experience was very pleasant. Located in the core of Shenzhen Futian CBD, Wyndham Grand Shenzhen offers great convenience for commuting, dining and shopping. The surrounding streets are well arranged for the upcoming APEC meetings starting on November 17, with clear bilingual signs and neatly renovated street views, making it super easy to find nearby shops and restaurants even as a foreign visitor. Jossce provided thoughtful service throughout the whole process. She pre-arranged my room as requested, made the late check-in process totally smooth after my temporary meeting, and even proactively upgraded my room to a high-floor one with a nice city view. The guest room is clean, spacious and comfortable. The well-stocked breakfast with both Western and local Cantonese options helped me get fully ready for each day's schedule. I will definitely choose this hotel again for my future Shenzhen business trips, and highly recommend it to those who will come for the APEC events later

Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center Shenzhen|0.78km from downtown
Overall, we had a fantastic stay. The check-in process was handled smoothly and swiftly by our personal butler, with a lot of thoughtful attention to detail. Initially, we didn't feel quite comfortable in our first room, but after speaking with the butler, a room change was arranged very quickly—super efficient service! They also kindly requested a late check-out for us, giving us extra time to rest and refresh. In the evening, looking out the room window at the sweeping night city lights was so soothing and really helped us unwind. Communication throughout the entire stay was effortless and stress-free. You could really tell the staff genuinely strive to solve problems for their guests. We are thoroughly satisfied with our experience.

Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center Shenzhen|1.12km from downtown
I know this hotel is undergoing renovations, and some packages for the new room types even include lounge access and five meals a day, which offers excellent value for money! First, regarding the room, the newly renovated style is minimalist and refined. The room feels very spacious and has excellent natural light. The bathroom amenities include Diptyque shampoo, shower gel, and lotion, which was a very pleasant touch. Next, concerning the dining, the five meals included afternoon tea, happy hour, evening dessert and drinks after check-in, and breakfast and lunch on the second day. The afternoon tea was a pleasant surprise. Although the food selection for happy hour wasn't extensive, it focused on quality over quantity. I didn't get to enjoy the late-night dessert session, but I learned that it was a chocolate-themed dessert night, and the themes are updated regularly. It's worth noting that no matter when you dine, you can enjoy unlimited alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Finally, I'd like to commend the hotel's service. All the staff I encountered during this stay were extremely polite and friendly. Especially Miss Sahar at the front desk, the check-in process was very smooth and efficient, and she even followed up afterward to see if I needed any assistance. A male staff member in the lounge also provided very professional service, always greeting us with a warm smile every time we entered the lounge for a meal. Overall, my experience during this stay was excellent, and I look forward to visiting again after the full renovation!

Fuyuan has always been a go-to hotel on my list when visiting Shenzhen, thanks to its convenient location and comfortable facilities! Special thanks to Peter for his helpful arrangements. Due to the fully booked situation during the Canton Fair, although I used Ctrip points to redeem for early check-in when booking, there were still no rooms available when I arrived at the hotel at 2 PM. I'd like to thank Amy for arranging for my daughter and me to wait in the Executive Lounge, where we were able to pick up our room keys directly and check in after an hour.

This Metropark hotel in Luohu District, Shenzhen's Dongmen area, has been open for many years, and its service quality has consistently remained top-notch. With the APEC meetings coming up in Shenzhen soon, the city is looking so neat and well-organized everywhere. I really hope Shenzhen continues to get better and better. I've been working in Shenzhen for several years now, and whenever friends visit, I always book this hotel for them. The service is just fantastic.

Absolutely amazing, far exceeding all expectations! First off, the location is excellent, right across from the train station. The design is very industrial chic and artistic. The toiletries smell lovely, and they provide disposable towels (perfect for someone with sensitive skin like me). The robot food delivery was also very quick. A big thank you to Eusun at the front desk for the coffee ☕️; he was so enthusiastic and kind! I especially want to praise the hotel lobby. The owner has fantastic taste in decor, full marks ✓! What really surprised me was finding a New York Institute of Photography tutorial – they must be a fellow photography enthusiast, incredibly tasteful, I don't even know how to praise them enough!👍🏻

Longgang Center Shenzhen|28.07km from downtown
The location is absolutely fantastic, right on Longxiang Avenue in Longgang Central City, close to the Longgang District Government, Red Cube, and Universiade. It's convenient whether you're driving or taking the subway, and there are plenty of dining and shopping options nearby. 🛏 Room The room was clean and tidy upon check-in. The bedding is Crown Plaza's classic 'Sleep Advantage,' offering just the right balance of softness and firmness, with pillow options. The sound insulation is quite good for a hotel in the city center. The bathroom has ample space, hot water is fast, and the details (night light, dehumidifier, charging ports) are well thought out. Some floors show a bit of age, but it doesn't affect comfort, making it suitable for both business and family stays. 🍳 Buffet Breakfast (Café Fusion) The variety is quite comprehensive: Chinese options include congee, rice noodle rolls, buns, noodles, and Cantonese dim sum; Western options feature bread, bacon, scrambled eggs, freshly made coffee, and juices. The fruits and salads are also fresh. I recommend going early during peak hours for more comfortable seating. Overall, it's a 'solid and reliable five-star' breakfast that doesn't disappoint. 🦞 Buffet Dinner (Highly Recommended) The weekend/themed buffets are exceptional – seafood (river prawns, shellfish, oysters), thick-cut salmon, freshly carved Peking duck, grilled meats and steaks, lamb chops, and hot pot/hot dishes are served in rotation. The desserts and ice cream are also excellent and not an afterthought. On the night we went, we caught the seafood + limited stew/caviar appetizer, which offered excellent value for money among similar establishments in Longgang. The service was prompt in clearing plates, and there were child-friendly options for those with kids.

It's been over a year since my last visit. It feels like all the executive lounge staff are new, I didn't recognize anyone. But the service was as excellent as ever. Before checking in, I noted that my husband's birthday was the next day, and the hotel decorated the room a bit and gave us a small cake 🧁. The only downside was that I forgot to press the 'do not disturb' button during our nap, and a cleaning lady rang the doorbell to ask about cleaning satisfaction, which woke up our family of three.

My stay at the Shenzhen Fu Lin Hotel was excellent. The hotel boasts a prime location right next to Luohu Port and Shenzhen Railway Station, making cross-border travel and train journeys incredibly convenient. With a well-developed transportation network nearby, it's a hassle-free choice for both commuting and sightseeing. The hotel itself is grand and impressive, exuding the classic charm of an established star-rated hotel. The lobby is spacious and bright, and all public areas are clean and tidy. The front desk staff were gentle and polite, handling check-in and check-out procedures quickly and smoothly. They were also patient and thorough in answering any questions, providing thoughtful and attentive service. I stayed in a Superior King Room, which was spacious and impeccably clean, with excellent attention to detail in hygiene. The room had great natural light, and the bedding was soft and comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. All in-room amenities were complete and well-maintained; the bathroom had consistent water pressure, and the Wi-Fi was fast. Standing by the window, I enjoyed a pleasant city view. The hotel also offers dining and leisure areas, making daily life convenient during my stay. For a hotel located so close to the border, the value for money in this area is outstanding. It saves a lot of time and effort for travel, making it perfect for both business trips and commutes to and from Hong Kong. I will definitely choose this hotel again when I visit Luohu next time. Highly recommended.

Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport and Fuyong Shenzhen|26.69km from downtown
As a first-time guest, I felt that clearer directional signs would have been very helpful—specifically regarding how to get to the hotel from Exit 16 at the airport, and how to access Exit 18 to enter the airport when leaving. Also, the lobby is on the 1st floor, while airport transfers are on the 3rd floor. It would be great if they could add a check-out counter on the 3rd floor as well. When checking in at the lobby, please speak a bit slower for guests who aren't familiar with the process; at the time, my husband and I were the only guests there. Maybe a rather ”cool” attitude is just your style, but I didn't quite get it. As a guest, I really didn't want to listen to a detailed explanation of why overseas credit cards can be tricky to use. Our card failed when paying for dinner at the 3rd-floor Chinese restaurant, and at the lobby check-in, we had to try several different machines before the payment finally went through. Fine! Every Hyatt might have slightly different payment processing details, but honestly, I just wanted reassurance that I could use my overseas credit card, rather than having staff assume the guest was at fault. We stood there with our heavy backpacks, looking foolish while the front desk staff processed things expressionlessly, until my husband decided to put our luggage aside and come back to continue standing there like we were being punished. Fortunately, a staff member in a light blue uniform eventually took the initiative to guide us to the elevators, and that was when we finally started to feel welcomed. On the hardware side, the soundproofing deserves high praise. I couldn't hear any outside airplane or street traffic noise at all, which made for a great night's sleep, and even the entry-level room felt spacious and comfortable. The buffet breakfast offered a wide variety of good quality food, though it would be a nice touch to have labels indicating the specific type of meat.

We had a two-bedroom suite, very comfortable. The beds were large and quite spacious. There was a balcony with a table and chairs. The weather wasn't perfect for swimming, but we walked along the beach, which is nearby. They replenished the water daily, changed the towels, and cleaned the room. We thought we needed hooks for coats and bags in the hallway, and at least a small table in the room for a computer or for the family to have tea. Nearby there's a pizzeria, a fruit market, and an ancient fortress with beautiful streets, goods, and food. Overall, we loved everything, thank you!

Shenzhen Nanao | Stay in a French Garden and Watch the Sea 🌅 Mello is absolutely stunning! Found a French Riviera-inspired B&B in Shenzhen 🏡 Mello truly has romance etched into its soul. White walls + French courtyard + endless sea views – every shot looks like it's straight out of a movie 🎬. The housekeeper even provided thoughtful sleep eye masks 💤. Open the window to a sunset over the orange sea 🌇. Sunlight streams into the room, making even the air feel gentle. The courtyard is fragrant with lemon trees and passion fruit, and you can spend an entire afternoon on the swing. A cocktail and a tipsy view of the sea are so therapeutic. Just a few minutes' walk to the beach 🏖️. It's uncrowded with clear water, super comfortable for walking on the sand and watching the waves.

Came here solo to escape to the mountains for Children's Day, haha! 😄 This villa guesthouse is nestled halfway up the mountain in Overseas Chinese Town East. It's incredibly quiet, the air is great, and it's surrounded by lush greenery – exactly my style! 😍 I rarely stay in guesthouses because I always worry about cleanliness. But this place is fantastic, super clean! The bedding was really comfortable too, I actually had a rare night of high-quality sleep. ☺️ My room also had a large balcony with a view. As for facilities, there's a hot tub and a pool. There weren weren't many people, so I practically had the place to myself. Breakfast is served individually, and you get amazing mountain views. You can also head up to Tea Stream Valley on the mountaintop to ride the small train. They offer shuttle service to Dameisha Metro Station and the mountaintop. Overall, a pretty good experience!

The staff were gentle, patient, and thorough during our communication, confirming every detail and following up on the progress the whole way through. The engineering team came over immediately to check the power outlets and make sure the wattage was safe, and they even rebooted and tested the room's systems. They also arranged to inspect the bathroom scale and replace its batteries, provided brand-new non-slip mats and slippers, and thoroughly re-cleaned the entire room. The whole resolution process was efficient and reliable—no brush-offs or dragging of feet—and you could really feel how much the hotel values every single guest request. The hotel itself has an elegant ambiance, comfortable and well-equipped rooms, and the ability to resolve issues quickly and properly. Such thoughtful and attentive service really adds huge value. It’s ideal for both business trips and leisure stays, offering a relaxing and worry-free experience. Highly recommended, and I will definitely choose to stay here again next time I visit Shenzhen!

Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center Shenzhen|1.09km from downtown
Having stayed at a few Four Seasons hotels, this one in Shenzhen didn't quite meet the brand standards I've come to expect. It's definitely an older hotel; nearly all the countertops and table edges in the room were uneven. The only place to find tissue paper in the entire room was by the sink, and the mirror was quite oxidized and blackened. There were no welcome fruits either. These aren't huge issues, but the main problem was cleanliness. On the cabinet wall next to the hangers, there was a large area of a sticky substance, like unremoved glue. Inside the wardrobe, you could feel a noticeable grittiness, like un-wiped dust, which made me hesitant to hang my intimate apparel. The spout of the kettle for boiling water was already green... These kinds of issues just shouldn't be present in a Four Seasons hotel. On the positive side, the front desk service was very warm and friendly, and the buffet environment was excellent. I hope the hotel considers a renovation.

The swimming pool water is crystal clear, and they provide two towels and even sachets – everything feels very thoughtful. The breakfast is rich, offering freshly squeezed juice and honeycomb.

The most striking thing about this stay is how comforting it is when a hotel truly nails the fundamentals. Upon opening the door, there was zero weird smell; the bedding was crisp and clean, and even the corners were spotless. It was obvious that the cleaning was done with genuine care, not just as a formality. Tricky areas like water stains in the bathroom, the mirror, and the floor drain were all impeccably clean, making it a very reassuring place to stay. The location is a major plus too. You can grab food right outside, transportation is convenient, and getting to the places you want to visit is hassle-free. Returning to the room quickly after a tiring day out—that kind of effortless convenience is so important for a trip. The service hits just the right note: there's someone there when you need them, without being overly enthusiastic to the point of awkwardness. Check-in at the front desk was efficient, all questions were answered promptly, and you could feel well-cared-for in all the little details.

I was inspired to visit Hyatt Regency Shenzhen Yantian after seeing a blogger's video of the sunrise there. I decided to stay for my birthday, and the hotel arranged a room upgrade, a birthday cake, and birthday decorations. Special thanks to the two front desk ladies, Dai Yongjun and Chang Xiwen, and the Director of Rooms, Zhuo Wei. Even during the busy Golden Week, the hotel's service, dining, and cleanliness were exceptionally well-organized, with no sense of overcrowding or chaos. This speaks to their highly effective hotel management. This vacation met and exceeded my expectations. The breakfast was delicious, the Executive Lounge dinner was tasty, the cake was good, and even the free-range chicken from room service was delicious. I'll definitely consider coming back for a weekend getaway. Being able to watch the sunrise over the ocean from the hotel was wonderful. The weather wasn't ideal for a sunrise glow this time, but I did manage to capture a beam of light hitting the ocean. Wishing everyone happiness and joy!!

We stayed in the Deluxe sea view king room with a balcony. As soon as we arrived we were greeted by a friendly smile from Zoe and Jessica who were always really thoughtful, attentive and ready to help. The front house staff are an asset to the hotel. The apartment features an open-plan design that feels larger than a standard hotel room, complete with home-like comforts including a washer/dryer machine which allowed us to refresh our clothes. A clothes hanger along with detergent is provided by the hotel again providing ease. The views from the balcony were stunning. Large windows across the rooms and the hotel offer fantastic, sweeping views of the surrounding area and waterfront. The sleeping and living spaces are kept spotless and hygienic by the housekeeping team. Situated close to 2 metro stations and local shopping options and residential conveniences, making daily errands simple. This was our first time in Shenzhen and will most definitely won’t be our last a special thank you to all at Hampton :)

Comfortable and offers great value for money. The staff are exceptionally professional. While checking in, I saw foreigners also going through the process, and the handsome front desk agent spoke fluent English. He walked us through the hotel rooms, breakfast options, and local dining spots entirely in English. I booked a room without an exterior window, but it had an interior view window instead. The room was clean, tidy, and very quiet, ensuring a great night's sleep. In addition to a clothesline, the shower room actually featured a movable long hook, which is super convenient for hanging items and towels while showering. The fun captions on the complimentary tea bags provided in the room were a delightful touch. Next to the restaurant is a rooftop garden—it's so relaxing to catch the breeze up there. The self-service laundry and drying facilities mean you never have to worry about your clothes not drying by the next day. Breakfast offered a wide variety, and the noodle soup was delicious. There is a Cantonese restaurant called Ziyuange on the first floor with a very stylish interior. A friend came by at noon, and we ordered a set meal there—the crispy abalone was simply amazing.
