Boutique Hotels in Guangdong, China

A perfect five-star review for the R&F Wanda Hotel Jiangmen! From the moment I stepped into the lobby, Annie's warm, spring-like smile and efficient, professional service instantly melted away my travel fatigue. The room was spacious and bright, the bedding was comfortable, and the river view was absolutely stunning. Breakfast offered a rich variety, and the service was attentive and thoughtful. This stay far exceeded my expectations; Annie and her team's warmth made this place feel less like a hotel and more like a cozy sanctuary. Highly recommended – I will definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Jiangmen!

I chose Wyndham again this year because of my pleasant stay during New Year's Day last year. However, the service this time, at the same time of year, was vastly different. First, the front desk handling check-in clearly ignored my special requests. As a result, when I got to the room, I found that the room I booked was the exact opposite of what I requested. Furthermore, the so-called 'lake view' room only offered a view of large trees (Picture 1). If the hotel didn't have the requested room, shouldn't the front desk have informed the guest? Secondly, I don't think Wyndham accurately estimated the number of guests for breakfast. The entire breakfast restaurant was incredibly noisy, no different from a wet market. I can understand this, as it's a holiday and there are many people. But while people were eating, those coming in would just stand next to others' tables, which I imagine was frustrating for both those trying to eat and those looking for a table. The restaurant staff's instructions for seating guests were also unclear (Picture 3). This is because there were actually dining areas on the other side of the restaurant, but they were in a sunken area and hard for guests to notice. As for the auntie at the rice noodle roll station, I wonder if she wasn't getting paid or wasn't trained, because she wore an unpleasant expression for all to see. If you can't give an extra portion according to policy, you can explain it nicely, because guests might not have seen the notice. But being confrontational with guests only causes anger, especially when the dining atmosphere is already so frustrating! In other hotels, staff are attentive to special families and even offer assistance, but despite Wyndham's high room rates, the service falls short. The breakfast selection was very ordinary, very ordinary, and with so many people, the queues for the limited made-to-order stations were incredibly long. The experience was very poor, and I didn't end up eating much anyway. Thirdly, the five-star Wyndham clearly has very poor preparedness for its guest traffic during holidays. As the weather turned cold that evening, and the forecast had warned of it, which everyone knew, many families with children needed extra blankets. However, the blanket I requested half an hour ago wasn't delivered. Finally, after I called to follow up, they said there were no blankets, and it took another hour for the requested items and a bedsheet (which was better than nothing) to arrive. In short, this stay was very unpleasant. A big-brand hotel is still inferior to a guesthouse!

We checked in on Thursday and received a complimentary room upgrade. The hot springs pool on the first floor was incredibly comfortable and clean. The front desk attendant was very gentle and informative, explaining the hotel's facilities and environment. Two young men kindly helped us with our luggage and showed us to our room. The upgraded room was in Building 1, a bit far from the outdoor hot spring pools, so we opted to use the in-room hot spring. A packet of bath salts was provided, leaving our skin smooth after bathing. The first night's minibar was also complimentary, featuring two boxes of soy milk, Coke, and beer, plus a fruit platter. In the afternoon, we went out to take photos. The weather was lovely and sunny, and the flowers, plants, and trees were beautiful. The staff were diligently watering and cleaning, very hardworking. There's also a paid mini-train ride in the park. Our package included six archery shots, half an hour of mini-golf, as well as billiards and table tennis. Tennis, basketball, volleyball, and badminton courts are also available but require advance booking by phone. Our package also included a buffet dinner at the Brilliant Restaurant. Since the buffet wasn't available on Thursday, we were offered three options: a la carte at Brilliant Restaurant with an 800-yuan credit, a more standard 'order anything' menu with common home-style dishes, or a fixed set menu. I chose the a la carte option at the restaurant and ordered five dishes and a mango sago dessert. It was very filling, the food was excellent, and the service was perfect. We had black truffle conch slices, giant river prawns, casserole perilla mountain snails with free-range chicken, mango sago, and cumin pine nut baked lamb rice (which was incredibly delicious, though it took an hour to prepare. The crust was fragrant, and the lamb was excellent). The stir-fried fern shoots with dried shrimp was also very tasty, with a crisp yet tender texture similar to Chinese broccoli. Breakfast was also very rich, offering both Chinese and Western options, as well as steamed dim sum. All the staff were fantastic; they would introduce dishes and help clear plates quickly as soon as you approached the counter. There are also many children's facilities in the park, and it's a pet-friendly hotel with an outdoor pet park. The only downside is that there aren't enough signposts in the park. Even with a map, we still got lost frequently, haha.

“The best hotel in Zhanjiang” My room is sea view suite 1316 with club accessed pass where you can enjoy free dinner and drink 18.00-20.00 and I stayed here for 5 days for work. The location is great just next to the beach and there is shopping mall where you can find something to eat and it takes only 7 mins by walk. The room is very spacious and provide everything you need during your stay, fridge, big bathtub with sea view, robes, comb, dryer, salt bath, mouthwash, etc Breakfast is also a competitive advantage as it offers a variety of choice (most of them are Chinese food) since early morning until 10.30. Staff is very helpful and the front desk can speak English. The lobby is always crowded and busy because there’s seminar / wedding event hosted here almost everyday. Facilities of the hotel are great especially gyms and children’s room. The only negative side is cleanliness. My shower room still got some hairfall on the ground after cleaning but the overall is ok. I would recommend this hotel and will visit them again.

I brought my kids to Zhuhai Chimelong and was very satisfied with our stay. I travel for business 8-9 months a year and rarely write hotel reviews, but I absolutely have to give a huge shout-out to Hotel L this time. The hotel's location is excellent, and staying on a higher floor offers beautiful night views. It's directly across from Zhuhai Station, making it super convenient for high-speed rail, bullet trains, airport transfers, and buses to various destinations. Being right opposite Gongbei Port also makes crossing over to Macau very easy. The room facilities are incredibly comprehensive, including a mini-fridge, ice bucket, a fully automatic self-service laundry room, and a very well-equipped gym. The mattress was just right – not too soft, not too firm – and there were two types of comfortable pillows. The hotel even thought of small details like scissors, a sewing kit, nail clippers, and special slippers and toothbrushes for kids. They also provided a fruit and snack platter as a complimentary gift. Breakfast was a set menu, delivered directly to our room. If I come back to Zhuhai, I will definitely choose this hotel again.

The room was quite spacious and even came with a capsule coffee machine, and the capsules provided were from Peet's, which was a nice touch. The breakfast buffet was delicious and offered a great variety. I had only booked one breakfast through Ctrip, but the front desk kindly provided an extra one for me, which was very nice of them. The hygiene was excellent, and the showerhead provided a really comfortable shower experience in a generously sized shower stall. The elevator was exclusive to the hotel guests, so there was never a long wait. The only downside was being able to hear a child crying next door. Even though we were on a high floor, I didn't hear any traffic noise from below, which was a plus. Overall: It was great value for money, and I would definitely consider staying here again.

The cleanliness and hygiene standards are good, perfect for a quick stopover to rest and do some laundry, haha. Of course, the main advantage is its excellent location. Taking a taxi allows you to perfectly avoid congested routes, and you can walk directly to scenic spots. It offers good value for money.

Exceeded my expectations, I was a bit worried about the facilities being old when I booked after reading some reviews, but it was absolutely fine, actually great! The room wasn't super high, but didn't feel cramped, and the view was fantastic, directly facing the river without any obstructions. The hotel staff, from the front desk to the executive lounge to breakfast, were all excellent. The missing 0.5 stars are for the sachima. There were many purchasing agents staying at the hotel, but guests couldn't buy any, and hotel guests couldn't even pre-order. I mean, even if I can't buy a lot, shouldn't hotel guests, especially those in executive rooms, be able to pre-order one or two boxes to take home for family? It really felt a bit unreasonable. Everything else was great. I had dim sum at Yu Tang Chun Nuan, which was delicious, and I also tried the hotel's own breakfast, which was also very good.

Great location, but the hotel itself is a bit dated. The facilities aren't as new as some other hotels. However, the service is absolutely top-notch! The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and kind to my kids. We even received a welcome gift upon check-in – some delicious small cookies from Macau's famous Koi Kei Bakery, which my children loved. The 6th-floor indoor heated pool is a nice bonus, though the changing rooms were a bit messy. Not a big deal since we could just go back to our room to change. There are plenty of dining options nearby, so no need to stick to the hotel breakfast. The dim sum at the 55th-floor restaurant is excellent. While it's a bit far from the popular internet-famous spots, the surrounding area is perfect for a leisurely stroll, with lots of charming little shops and cafes for afternoon tea. It has a chic, boutique vibe. Five-star recommendation!

The hygiene was excellent, and the service was very attentive. I usually bring disposable bedding when I travel, but I didn't need it this time – I checked and everything was spotless. The hotel has a lot of unique features. There's a lawn on the 11th-floor lobby and a forest in the 58th-floor restaurant. The breakfast was also fantastic, with a wide variety of international dishes. The baked goods were particularly outstanding.
