Hotels with Bars in Shantou

Upon arriving at the hotel, I was greeted by a lovely fragrance. I asked the front desk staff, and she told me it was a Longjing tea scent. The service was excellent; each room comes with two complimentary coffees and a mini-bar. After checking out, we realized we had forgotten a backpack for our next leg of the journey. The front desk staff braved the rain to deliver it to our car – we were so grateful! The facilities are comprehensive, clean, and hygienic, and the hotel is conveniently located next to a food street. Highly recommended!

Stumbled upon this guesthouse online and decided to check it out before the May Day holiday rush. I was initially worried it might be a 'seller's show' (looks better in pictures than in real life), but it turned out to be 100% accurate to what was posted! Overall, a great experience. **Environment:** The guesthouse is set up like an estate, offering good privacy, so you're not disturbed by non-hotel guests or road noise. **Facilities:** The infinity pool in the room seems to circulate filtered seawater, which was very clean. It's perfect for taking photos at night when the lights are on, but it does shut off at 12 AM. There's also an outdoor pool on the first floor facing the sea. The minibar and fridge drinks in the room are complimentary, and all the amenities are of good quality. **Service:** The hotel staff were incredibly attentive. Right after booking, I immediately received a call from the owner. After adding them on WeChat, they confirmed my arrival time and whether I wanted the pool pre-filled, etc. Throughout my stay, I felt that all the staff had a great attitude. This is also a pet-friendly establishment. If you bring a pet, they provide a pet amenities kit with pee pads, diapers, disposable bowls, chew toys like Boryeongdan, and more. I brought my own dog bed, and they mentioned they also offer small beds. However, there's an additional cleaning fee for pets, which I didn't see on the booking page and only found out about upon arrival.

The room was clean and very quiet. The location is excellent, just a five or six-minute walk to a small park. HUAZHU hotels are always great, and the prices are very affordable. If you download their app, you even get free coupons. Taxis are also easy to get from here.

This guesthouse is incredibly comfortable, and the service is so thoughtful and attentive. There's a bathtub where I could enjoy the night view, which finally helped me unwind after a long day! I arrived quite late, but the front desk staff was very welcoming and made me feel so well taken care of. The self-serve coffee in the lobby is also delicious. The breakfast spread is fantastic, with beef rice rolls and incredibly fresh century egg porridge—this is exactly why I keep coming back to Guangdong year after year!

Highly recommend the Chao Hong Ji City Hotel! The room was brightly lit with excellent natural light, and meticulously clean. You can enjoy the bay views right from your bed. The room also came with a Kung Fu tea set, which was a lovely touch and very characteristic of the Chaoshan region. The service was attentive, and any requests were handled promptly. It's conveniently located for walks and visiting exhibitions. The Chaoshan snacks for breakfast were authentic and delicious. The environment was quiet and peaceful. It's perfect for both tourism and short stays. My overall experience was very satisfying.

I'm writing this review a month after checking out, because just thinking about it still makes me angry 😤! Room: First, let's talk about the room layout. I booked a tatami room thinking it would be good for storing things. I arrived in Shantou late at night, and after checking in, I opened the room door to find a mirror directly facing the entrance (with a small spotlight above it). All the fatigue from driving for several hours instantly vanished – it was horrifying! What kind of designer puts a mirror facing the door? Later, I realized it was probably because the room was small and there was nowhere else to put the mirror. The entire room didn't even have a proper desk, just a very small low table, about 20-30 cm high. After putting a tissue box on it, it was hard to even eat takeout. There was no space for laptops, tablets, or personal items, so I had to put them on the wooden shelf above the water kettle. The entire room only shared one trash can with the toilet area… The smart features of the toilet were all in useless places; it didn't have heating or a bidet, just a motion-sensing lid opener? Every time I went to the shower, the toilet lid would open automatically 😂. For a hotel that costs several hundred yuan, they use 'Bing Lu' mineral water, which even the Orange hotel two blocks away doesn't use anymore. The room came with a coffee machine, but no milk or sugar, which is unfriendly to those who like sweets. Now, for the main reason I felt compelled to write this review. I'm a woman with rather dry hair, reaching about my waist, so conditioner is a must after washing. When I went to use the conditioner after washing my hair, it looked like there was still some left, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't pump any out. The nozzle and bottle were in one piece and couldn't be twisted open. The frustration and anger at that moment were immense! 😤😤 This led to my hair getting tangled, and it took a long time to sort out, ruining my mood for the whole day. Do they really need to be *that* economical? Leaving so little in the bottle just for show? Also, the hotel is truly economical; the elevator doesn't have air conditioning. At around 9 AM, I took the elevator, and there was a very strong smell of sweat inside. There must have been workers who had done a lot of strenuous work and then took the elevator, and the smell was all trapped inside. It was truly awful 🤢. It really doesn't feel like an international brand hotel. Perhaps the Wyndham next door would offer a much better experience.

The front desk service was excellent, they responded quickly to any issues. The room was clean, and the breakfast was delicious and varied. My stay was very pleasant. The location is quite convenient, with good food options right downstairs. It was a great experience, I'll definitely come back next time.

I enjoy reading to pass the time on vacation, and the quiet corner on the terrace is perfect for it. With a complimentary coffee in hand, I can look up and admire the ocean view, the fishing boats going to and from the pier, the relaxed daily life of the town, and the windmills swaying in the breeze. The sunset creates such a gentle atmosphere. The desk in the room is spacious and quiet, and the bathtub is great for unwinding. The bedding ensures a good night's sleep. The pool and gym are good for relaxing your eyes, and the kids' club is far enough away not to disturb the quiet areas. Plus, parking is convenient if you're driving.

The room is newly renovated and not bad. It was in the middle of the night after the reservation time, and a special room booked was canceled. The price of booking a room is more expensive, which is not very pleasant.
