Shantou Hotels with Bars

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.

Immerse yourself in 100 years of Nanyang charm, with an unbeatable location right in the heart of Xiaogongyuan! The hotel is situated in the core area of Xiaogongyuan, just a few minutes' walk from the General Post Office, surrounded by authentic local eateries. It’s incredibly convenient to stroll back to the hotel after enjoying the arcade building night views. The hotel itself is a beautifully renovated century-old building, boasting intricate Republican-era arcade design details. The atrium and vintage chandeliers are incredibly photogenic, making it feel truly immersive, like stepping back into old Shanghai. The room facilities are new and clean, the staff are warm and attentive, and the breakfast is a delicious set menu featuring local specialties like Kway Teow. The taste is excellent.

Even before we checked in, Betty, a staff member, was already providing proactive service. She really anticipated our needs and offered helpful local recommendations. Our room was on the 27th floor or higher, offering a great sea view. It was spacious, bright, well-equipped, and had plenty of drinking water, which was very convenient. Housekeeping even left little notes, which was a lovely, thoughtful touch. Overall, a great stay and highly recommended!

I have to say, this hotel offers great value for money. For 580 yuan a night, you get a spacious room with two king-size beds (1.8m each) and two TVs. The details in the room are also well thought out, with a sofa and a small round table. It wouldn't feel crowded even with two adults and two children. The hotel also has a gym and a laundry room, and the front desk even provided breakfast vouchers. The hotel's location is excellent as well. It's only a 5-minute walk to Zhongshan Park Monument Pavilion, the pedestrian street, and other attractions. There are also plenty of dining options nearby.

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!

The hotel has a lot going for it. We enjoyed the fresh renovations and the breakfast was good. I don’t think it’s worthy of 5 stars though because they have extremely cheap and uncomfortable mattresses. The mattress was so light and springy that any movement from the other side of the bed would make you wake up and you can feel the springs and hear them. We tried flipping the mattress over as instructed by hotel staff but the hard side of the bed was equally uncomfortable. We booked the Urcove for the next night because Hyatt has a high standard for mattresses and we can count on a good night’s sleep. One thing to keep in mind for these hotels in China is they are pretty much all unwilling to enforce no smoking rules. Even with air filters throughout the hotel we could smell the cigarette smoke everywhere.

The front desk staff were incredibly warm and helpful. Our sea-view room offered a stunning panorama, and the location was super convenient for getting around. The smart facilities were easy to use, and breakfast was delicious. When my child got an upset stomach late at night and we needed to go to the hospital, the hotel provided incredibly thoughtful assistance.

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 Golden Leaf Hotel specially selected by the Shuangzhong Cultural Festival, the hotel is in a good location, and the team passes by the cross road in front of the hotel. Old hotel, good service, a pleasant stay.
