Posted on Nov 2, 2026|Lelin Elegant Double Bed Room with Fresh Air System
Guest UserOverall, it was excellent—very clean! The room and hallway both had a fresh, clean scent the moment I walked in. I was genuinely impressed and very satisfied. The front desk staff (especially the friendly young women) were outstanding—helpful, warm, and highly professional, even when I needed extra assistance. Truly a great experience! Plus, the hotel is conveniently located just a short ride (under 2–3 km) from several popular food spots featured on Dazhong Dianping—renting an e-scooter gets you there in no time. Highly recommended!

We chose this hotel primarily for its proximity to the Shantou railway station. The night prior, we stayed at a nearby Hampton but had a disappointing experience, so this was our first stay with a local Chinese chain brand.
Check-in was smooth and efficient, although no English was spoken at the front desk. We had requested a higher-floor, quieter room via WeChat in advance and were initially assigned Room 602. Upon entering, the room appeared clean and well-maintained.
However, we encountered an unusual and inconvenient issue with the Wi-Fi. Guests are instructed to turn on the TV to access the Wi-Fi password, but we discovered that the TV must remain on in order for the Wi-Fi to function. This was confirmed by multiple staff members, including what appeared to be a front desk supervisor. This setup was quite disruptive, as the TV screen is bright and cannot be dimmed, and the work desk is positioned directly in front of it.
To their credit, Ms. Lin—responded promptly and offered to move us to another room (also 602, but with a different layout). The new layout was more practical, with the desk positioned at a 90-degree angle from the TV, which helped mitigate the issue somewhat.
That said, the second room had its own drawback: there was a noticeable gap in the window, which allowed in road noise. Since we stayed over the weekend, traffic noise and honking were quite noticeable at night. In addition, we heard neighbors chatting and laughing past midnight.
Lotion could be a nice addition too. A small humidifier with scented oil definitely gave a zen touch.
Aside from these two issues (Wi-Fi dependency on the TV and sound insulation), the overall stay was comfortable. As a gesture of goodwill, the hotel provided complimentary breakfast. While we are not typically breakfast eaters, we did try the noodle station. The offerings were entirely Chinese-style. One suggestion would be to label the protein options more clearly (in Chinese or English), as we observed multiple guests asking staff about them—one of which turned out to be pig’s heart.
Overall, this was a good introduction to a Chinese domestic hotel brand. I learned that they got a few locations in Europe. While there are areas for improvement, particularly in technology setup and soundproofing, the service recovery effort and general room quality made for a satisfactory stay.

Guest UserA very comfortable stay! The owner added me on WeChat beforehand and sent the address, so it was super easy to find! It's a whole apartment building, very clean inside, and the rooms are really spacious. The best surprise was that the room actually had a separate laundry area – absolutely brilliant! Feels perfect for monthly rentals! I forgot to take a picture, but it even had a small range hood! Amazing! The price is incredible for this season! It's convenient for getting around, and MixC shopping mall is just a short walk away. Oh, and the beef restaurant next door is really good!

Posted on Nov 3, 2026|Deluxe Family Room (Premium Sleep Bed Setup + Mini Bar + Sandalwood Aroma)
Guest UserWe visited Shantou for a family road trip and chose Ramada Encore Shantou after comparing several options. The front desk staff were exceptionally warm and welcoming—offering to carry our luggage and processing check-in swiftly. The room was spacious, brand-new, and completely odor-free, with thoughtful, well-considered details throughout. As a family traveling with young children, we especially appreciated the convenient on-site parking, safe surroundings, spotlessly clean floors, diverse breakfast buffet, and friendly, helpful staff. Highly recommended for family road trips!

KangxiaoqiaoAfter comparing several options for my Chaoshan trip, I ultimately chose this 'Fan Hua Zhu Meng' (Dream of Prosperity) suite, and I'm very satisfied with the overall experience. The guesthouse is located right in the heart of Xiaogongyuan (Small Park) area, making it incredibly convenient to explore the arcade buildings and visit attractions without having to rush back and forth. The room has a Nanyang retro style, perfect for photos. The one-bedroom, one-living room layout offers ample space, suitable for a small gathering with friends or for couples. The hygiene was meticulously maintained, and the bedding was clean and comfortable. The facilities were also comprehensive. The owner was very genuine, quick to respond to any issues, and even recommended authentic local snacks. Being in an old arcade district, you get to experience the vibrant atmosphere of the old city without any noise in the room. The overall value for money is great. Friends who want an immersive experience exploring Xiaogongyuan should definitely consider this place. I'll prioritize staying here again on my next visit to Shantou.

Posted on Apr 9, 2026|Yizhi Double Bed Room (Smart Guest Control + Mini Fridge)
AishuilanjuecsyThis hotel is hands down the best and most affordable one I've stayed at during my week in Shantou. First off, the location is super easy to find, right by the main road. Plus, parking is a breeze and it's free, which is a huge bonus for female drivers like me. The front desk lady even gave us two complimentary breakfasts! The room itself was brand new, the TV had screen mirroring, and the shower pressure was fantastic. I consider myself pretty picky when it comes to hotels, but honestly, I couldn't find a single fault with this one. You can book it with your eyes closed. If I ever go back to Shantou, I'll definitely be staying here again.

Posted on Aug 13, 2026|Loft - Sea-View (2 Beds)
Guest UserFirst, the pros:
The location is quite good, with direct sea views. The buildings in front are minimal and acceptable. Downstairs, there are plenty of shops, making dining, fast food, and pharmacies all very convenient.
Now, the cons:
1. The toilet area is extremely, extremely, extremely small, even smaller than a public restroom stall.
2. There's no front desk, which I can understand, but most hotels and B&Bs proactively communicate check-in procedures in advance. This place didn't send a single message.
3. After arriving at 12 PM, we were told we absolutely had to check in at 2 PM and couldn't get in any earlier. My parents and I were exhausted. They reluctantly told us the room was ready at 1:50 PM. It's clear they require check-out by 12 PM, yet they make guests wait until all rooms are cleaned before allowing check-in. There's no flexibility at all.
4. The complimentary 'restful sleep' drink was nowhere to be found, and neither was the Chaoshan Dancong tea.
Many people have already taken pictures of the room's view, so I'll share some photos of the downstairs area instead.

TravellingWallyNo regrets paying more for this beautiful homestay!
花多点钱住这里一点遗憾也没有!
My parents, sibling and I stayed for a total of 3 nights in their 4 pax room.
It’s a beautiful and tastefully decorated accommodation with personal courtyard and interior. Bed and duvet were so comfortable especially in the chilly weather of 18 ~ 22 degrees. I didn’t spot anything obvious I can complain about regarding the cleanliness of this place, hence 5/5 for cleanliness.
Location is perfect (5/5). Next to streets of food places that have good ratings, and super near 万象城 shopping mall (restaurants, luxury shops, retail and more). Anyways cabbing around Shantou is really convenient, fast, and affordable. Even though it is nested amongst other tall residential area, once we close the door we couldn’t hear much noise from outside.
Service is 5/5 as well. There’s free pickup and drop off serviced from the railway station. There’s daily fresh fruits delivered to us, as well as chicken soup. There’s also free laundry service which we really appreciate! Staffs were always ready to help and always ready to give recommendations. We really felt their hospitality and they are genuine in providing best service possible.
Amenities is 5/5 as well. The hair dryer is Laifen brand which is so strong and sleek looking. They provide disposable towels on top of those reusable towels. Their slippers are fluffy and comfy. They have like everything we need.
Bonus: Their residential cat and her kittens are adorable!!!
All in all wonderful stay and would stay again if i ever visit Shantou again. Suggestions for improvement: (1) more variety in breakfast options (stayed for 3 nights and felt that some breakfast options would be great), and (2) the shower gel, shampoo, and conditioner are a little too hard to pour out maybe can consider using press bottles.

Posted on Aug 18, 2026|Guestroom - City-View (Double Bed)
Guest UserFirstly, I'm already being generous by not giving a one-star review. My stay was unsatisfactory, mainly due to two issues: Firstly, housekeeping wasn't provided for two days, and toiletries weren't replenished proactively, indicating a lack of basic service. Secondly, when I inquired about car rental options, the hotel only recommended a specific vendor, Brother Bo, who promised low prices but provided a poorly maintained car at a very high price, and even tried to scam me. However, since I was traveling, I let it go. Later, I found out that the rental agent was also handling reception and car repairs, suggesting a deliberate attempt to scam customers. I've uploaded supporting pictures. I advise other travelers to compare several car rental agencies on the island and be cautious about recommendations from accommodation providers to avoid similar issues.

Exceptional Stay – Panorama Sea View
Every staff member I encountered – from reception to housekeeping – went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Their friendliness, efficiency, and genuine hospitality really made me feel valued as a guest. They also help to receive my taobao delivery of parcels. Well down for all staff. They also specially provide our room upgrade for seaview to our special honeymoon couple.
The hotel’s room & lobby cleanliness is well-maintained. My room felt fresh, tidy, and inviting, with thoughtful touches that showed the care and attention put into daily upkeep. The housekeeping team did an amazing job, and I truly appreciated their promptness and consistency throughout my stay.
The location is also a major highlight – conveniently situated near key attractions located at seaside , dining options, yet peaceful enough for a restful night’s sleep. It made exploring the area effortless, and I could easily return to the hotel for a quick rest before heading out again.
The amenities are well-equipped, thoughtfully designed to cater to both leisure and big group of families. From the helpful lounge areas to the private big room, and in-room conveniences, everything was in place to make my stay both enjoyable and productive.
Overall, my experience here was nothing short of excellent. It’s rare to find a place that delivers consistently on all fronts – service, location, and amenities – but this hotel truly does. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for their dedication and kindness. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area, and I look forward to returning in the future.
