Because we were coming in Guangzhou from Hong Kong, we took the train that departed from Hom Hung Station in Hong Kong and arrived at Guangzhou East Railway Station.
Upon arriving, we are really lucky to use the hotel shutter bus service and saved the transport from the Guangzhou East Railway to the hotel. So basically, they have shutter bus service back and fo between the Railway Station to the hotel by timing bases.
This 5* hotel is located at yuexiu (越秀) and it is about 10 mins drive from the Guangzhou East Railway station. The hotel is beside 越秀公园 (Yuexiu Park) metro along line 2. So its pretty convienent. Its 2 stations from Beijing Road , 4 stations from wedding street and 5 stations from Shangxiajiulu. Taxi is everywhere in Guangzhou and all the taxi drivers knows this big hotel when you said “我要去大中国酒店”. We did not encounter any experience of taxi driver refuses or needed direction help.
The lobby of the hotel was really BIG and spacious. Both of us really went.. "Wow" when we first stepped in. The lobby is divided into 2 parts. One side is the check in counter and check in was quite fast. The other side is the information counter which we used it almost everyday. Most of the staff can speak and understand English. So communication wasn't a problem.
The size of the room was decent. And the bed was really comfortable honestly. It was clean too.
They have see through bathroom but they do have the blind if you are too shy. :). The bathroom comes with bathtub which is huge and shower. There is rain shower too and normal showering head beside the bathtub.
Our room came with breakfast for the 2 of us. And we were very impressed by the spread. They had both western and chinese breakfast which include salad, sausage, pancakes, bread, toasts, pastries, porridge, fruits and etc.
2 different types of fresh fruit juice included in the breakfast.
This is only 30% of the spread. Honestly, we were well fed during the past 3 days.
The hotel is thoughtful. They came up with a list of shopping places to go to. And also it indicated the nearest metro station of the respective places.
There were 2 small problems during our stay. We were given 1 bathrob instead of 2 but they were quite responsive after calling them and sent the another bathrob within 5 mins. The another one was our safe in room was faulty but they repaired immediately after told.
By the way, we booked our tickets back to Hong Kong from the Hotel on the same day when we returned. But do aware that there was an additional administrative charges for that.
In short, we enjoyed our stay here and i have to say that their customer service was really excellent. The staff from the hotel who went to the Railway Station with us went extra mile to help us carrying our luggage to the departure gate and we were really thankful for that.
