Guangzhou New Century Hotel

The big highlight of this palce was definitely my room. The king, albeit quite hard, was clean and nice, good sheets. The Bathroom was very large. I was giving this room after China Southern comletely dropped the ball on my flight so they Airline suggested I staye here for my layover. I was offered free dinner when I got there, and subsquently breakfast and lunch the next day. All were quite sub-par. The service was quite shoddy and impersonable as well (is this just typical of Guangzhou and China)? Also I went to look at the gym, it looked like it was from the 1980s and the pool was closed. The actual artchteriture of the hotel is quite nice though. But bscially if you're a non-Chinese tourist I would suggest you stay way from here. The key issue is their unfriendly staff,

Below is my comment 1) Towel is very old and yellow 2）The bathroom ventilation system is faint and noises 3） In western restaurant, there are only spoon but no table spoon

This was my second stopover at Guangzhou during my recent trip to Hainan, courtesy of China Southern Airlines' arrangement for my long flight transit. This time, I made a much better hotel selection compared to the one during my first transit. As my family and I arrived at around 9:30 am, the hotel allowed us to have breakfast at their cafe (albeit a rather rushed one, as their breakfast session ends at 10:00 am). Despite this short time frame, we still managed to have a very satisfactory and wholesome breakfast due to the wide array of breakfast options available there. Now, over to the rooms. We were given two family rooms, each consisting of a king-sized bed plus another super-single bed on both ends of the room, with ample walkway in between. The bathroom was also spacious, and it contains a bathtub as well. All in all, despite being here only for a short stopover before our next flight, I was extremely satisfied with this hotel, and would definitely consider coming here again in my future trips to Guangzhou.

This hotel is quite good for the price per night. Room is large, clean and quiet. Breakfast is mainly with chinese dishes. Many cheap restaurants are closed to the hotel. Staff is not really kind, and don't really take care of customer requirement.

I had an 18-hour lay-over in Guangzhou on my way to New Zealand. Upon arrival, I applied for the 24-hour free transit visa to get out of the airport. As I was flying with China Southern, I took advantage of their free accommodation offer. I found it tricky to find the right counter at the airport to claim for my free night. It is located next to gate 20, one level below the main departure level. The China Southern person suggested the New Century Hotel and quickly arranged the room booking and the car transfer, which took about 30 minutes. The hotel is in the northern part of Guangzhou, far away from the center. There is a subway station just opposite the hotel, but I did not try to use the subway as I was mainly looking to have some rest in the hotel. The check-in was swift. As it was early in the morning, I was offered to benefit from the buffet breakfast. There was a mix of cold and hot dishes, mostly Chinese. It was a decent breakfast. My room located on the 11th floor was large and had been apparently renovated. I found it very clean and nothing was broken. The bed was quite hard tough. The Wi-Fi was free, but slow. I could easily arrange a free transfer back to the airport with a front desk female employee that spoke good English. Overall a very good experience with both China Southern and New Century Hotel.

Was quite happy

I was enroute to Changsha from Nairobi but due to Airline delay we were accommodated by the airline at this hotel,long ride to the hotel about 45min but hotel is okay ,hardly any English so language barrier ,while rooms are old extremely spacious, whole living room,separate bedroom two TV one in each room ,spacious rooms

Honestly it was run down but not filthy. The breakfast spread was large. The hotel is also a 10 minutes walk from a pretty expansive pedestrian area. I won’t be staying again if I have a choice (stayed via China Southern)

特に設備など気になる点もなく快適に過ごせました。 スタッフの方の大変丁寧で満足しております。 また広州に出張の際には利用させていただきたいと思います。

So good and location is good for us taking transfer bus to Hong Kong.
