Find 3-Star Hotels in Shantou

We spent two nights at the Shantou Wuxiangju and really enjoyed having the entire ancient house to ourselves. The garden and pond are beautifully maintained, and the location is perfect—right in the middle of countless great eateries. Bottled water was provided and replenished daily. Just keep in mind this isn't five-star luxury: the pillows are quite soft and flat (which might not suit everyone), and many mosquitoes. They do help with luggage via motorbike from a drop-off point about two minutes away (look for the pin at 和记牛肉粿条汤). Overall, a charming and authentic stay.

The service was excellent. The staff were patient and responsive, always greeting us when we met them in the hallway. The tea bar on the first floor was very comfortable, offering tea and water, and was kept very clean. However, the rooms were a different story. Each room reeked of smoke, mildew, and stinky feet. It took one night with the air conditioning running for the smell to dissipate (or maybe I just got used to it). I understand it's a rainy southern climate, but those sensitive to smells should be prepared. For rooms facing the street, I'd recommend bringing earplugs.

The hotel is newly opened and has a great overall ambiance. The hygiene conditions are excellent, and the room details are well thought out, including a mini-fridge and tea-making facilities. The bathroom is a highlight with its high-tech toilet and excellent toiletries, and the water pressure for showering is fantastic and very comfortable! The front desk staff are enthusiastic, always ready to answer questions, and genuinely think of the guests' needs! There's free coffee and tea on the first floor of the hotel, which are quite good! The rice noodle roll place next to the hotel is also good, and it's not far from Zhujiang Food Street, which is very convenient!

This guesthouse I booked for my trip to Shantou was an absolute gem! It really added such a wonderful, happy vibe to my whole trip. You can tell the owner put a lot of thought into it – the decor has a lovely retro Republic of China style, with solid wood furniture and really comfy bedding. The room was super clean, and the location is just unbeatable. Being able to step out and find food, drinks, and entertainment right downstairs was so convenient. We could just pop back to the room for a rest whenever we got tired. The owner also recommended some fantastic local spots: a beef hotpot place, late-night congee, and Zhenping Guozhi (rice noodle soup) – all incredibly delicious! I've already recommended this guesthouse to my friends; it's truly worth choosing!

The room's location is decent, and there are plenty of restaurants nearby. It's a hotel-apartment with two large beds, which is great for families with two kids. However, it has its drawbacks. The soundproofing is poor; you can clearly hear conversations from surrounding areas. The biggest issue is the extremely small bathroom, making it very inconvenient to use the toilet – you pretty much have to leave the door open. The shower, on the other hand, is fine with good water pressure. For the price, it's acceptable; you can't expect too much.

This time, I brought my child along, so I decided to stay in the county town. First, let's talk about the location. The B&B's location is excellent, with free parking available. Although it's a short walk, it's manageable. Right downstairs, you'll find various restaurants and bubble tea shops. It's practically the Houzhai CBD, very convenient. The only minor drawback is that the hot water is very slow; it takes a long time to come on. After communicating with the owner, they explained that the pipes are long, and you need to let the cold water run out before the hot water arrives. Now, let's focus on the B&B's hygiene and service. The B&B is located in an older building, but the rooms are all new, and the hygiene is exceptionally well-maintained. It's clean and odor-free, which already surpasses many B&Bs. Furthermore, the attention to detail is excellent. Right outside your room on the same floor, the owner provides various daily necessities (dental floss, rubber bands, hair clips, razors, makeup remover wipes, etc.). So thoughtful! Regarding service, the owner led us to the parking lot on an electric scooter. We hadn't checked in yet, and the owner helped us transport our luggage to the B&B. When we checked in, our luggage was already in the room. My child had hives and scratched their skin until it bled a bit, getting some blood on the sheets. I proactively asked the owner if I needed to pay a cleaning fee, but the owner didn't charge anything. What a generous gesture! The off-season price is also very affordable. Overall, for a 207 RMB B&B, I'd give it a 90 out of 100. The 10 points deducted are in hopes that the owner can improve the hot water facilities. We'll definitely come again if we have the chance!

The room was very tidy and the environment was great, especially our sea view room. However, some maintenance is needed. The water pressure in the room was extremely low! The hot water would turn cold after a few seconds, then stop completely for a few seconds before returning to normal, and this kept repeating 😢. It would be freezing in winter. There's a small soaking tub in the room, but even after an hour of filling, the water only reached our ankles. Plus, the room let in a lot of light.

Not only was a free breakfast provided, but also complimentary parking, which was very convenient and hassle-free.”,”The room had a retro business style and was very spacious. The soft, dim lighting created a lovely atmosphere. It also included free breakfast and parking, offering great value for money.”,”What I liked most was the super spacious room, which also came with free parking and breakfast. The retro business decor paired with the dim lighting really set the mood perfectly.”]

The hotel's location is excellent, right in the city center, directly across from MixC, making it very convenient for getting around. The front desk staff, Xiao Ru and Xiao Yang, helped us arrange a larger room. It's a great place to stay for a business trip.

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.
