Landmark International Hotel - Guangzhou

Good location not far from metro and railway station. Helpful staff, comfortable room. A good hotel with excellent restaurant on 3rd floor.

Stayed for 5 nights during the Canton Fair and the best part of the whole trip is the complimentary shuttle bus to and from Canton Fair. Most people at the hotel tried really hard to be curious and polite, except the housekeepers. I'm not a fan of their passive aggressive attitude when I asked for USB chargers for three of my devises. Mine burnt out when charging in the room and it also ruined my power bank. Since I didn't have time to shop around for USB chargers, I asked to borrow a couple, but the housekeeper was quite rude about it and removed one of them from my desk the next day morning when I was away without consulting me first. The breakfast was catering to Chinese guests so I wouldn't recommend. Few restaurants in the neighbourhood but they are ok. A supermarket is just one block away down the road so that was nice. Will I stay there again, I don't think so because the hotel is like an hour drive away from the Canton Fair or about 25-minute drive in the morning when traffic was light. I love the shuttle bus service but many hotels in GZ offers the same service during the fair so next time I'll choose another hotel that is close to the ground instead.

Ended up in this hotel after my original booking me landed me in an unacceptable room in a different hotel thanks to a horrible stench in a smoking room (I had asked for non-smoking). Anyhow, the guys at hotels.com (I called in) did some great work to move us to this hotel - the Landmark. Mind you this was 3 am making the move and hotels.com had spoken to the reception (aka expedia) so we were warmly received and given a free upgrade. the upgraded room is quite 5 star. not swanky modern, but solidly comfortable, clean and very spacious. location is not great, but not bad either. recommended for quality of hotel, not necessarily for location. oh yeah.... skip the breakfast buffet.

Hotel is not clean. Not the best condition. Okay to stay.

Stayed here during the Canton Fair. Pros: 1. Had 4 buses to the Fair in the morning, and 4 buses from the Fair in the afternoon. 2. Front desk seemed pretty competent. I didn't have trouble communicating to them in English. 3. Location. The hotel is located in Tienhu. One block east of the Westin. 10-15 walk to the East Train Station. 4. Neighborhood. The hotel is located in a residential area. The street the hotel is located was pretty busy, but not loud. There are several convenience store in front of the hotel. 5. The hotel was relatively well maintained (for a Chinese hotel). 6. Internet speed was relatively fast for China. The ethernet cable connection was much faster than their wifi. Cons: 1. They had the worst (or 2nd worst) breakfast that I've experienced in all of China. Although breakfast was included in my stay, I opted for the McDonalds across the street. 2. Their TV channel selection sucked. 40 chinese channels, 1 english, and 1 japanese. 3. No room service.
