10/10 Exceptional

This hotel left a very good impression on me. Its warm service and clean accommodation environment were reassuring. Most importantly, its location is extremely convenient. It allows easy access to Yongqingfang to experience the traditional Xiguan culture, and you can also explore Shangxiajiu anytime to sample authentic local delicacies. It is indeed an excellent accommodation choice.

8/10 Very good

Clean, friendly staff ., good location
Queenie, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The location is absolutely prime — it's right in the heart of Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street! Just step out, turn right, and walk straight to Yongqing Fang and the flagship Tao Tao Ju restaurant. You get the best of both worlds: the local vibe and the artsy charm of old Guangzhou. For travelers, saving time and energy is the ultimate win.
qing, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Overall environment is okay, nothing exceptional. Breakfast is limited.
Wai Yan, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A great choice for both value and comfort — I highly recommend this hotel for its excellent cost-performance! Its location is unbeatable, close to Hualin Temple Metro Station, making it super convenient to get to attractions like the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, Yongqing Fang, and Beijing Road. The hotel facilities are quite new and include a laundry room and a fitness center. The rooms are clean, bright, and the beds are very comfortable. The staff are friendly and responsive. Whether you’re traveling for leisure or business, this place meets all your needs perfectly.

10/10 Exceptional

The viewing terrace on the tenth floor was such a pleasant surprise! Going up in the evening offers a breathtaking view — you can watch the lively traffic along the historic Shangxiajiu streets below while gazing out toward the distant city skyline. The scene is especially beautiful as the city lights begin to glow, making it a perfect spot to capture the charm of old Guangzhou. Best of all, it’s complimentary for guests — absolutely unbeatable value!
Sam, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staying at this hotel feels like stepping into the old Xiguan. Antique Manchu-style stained-glass windows and vintage decor unfold slowly before your eyes. From the "Stargazing Terrace" on the ninth floor, you can lean on the railing and gaze out—below, the glittering lights of Shangxiajiu stretch into the distance, while the distant evening drum and morning bell of Hualin Temple echo through the air. In that moment, the past and present of Xiguan suddenly make sense.
sen, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

1) the hotel is clean and offers a good budget option for where it is. 2) the beds in our room were a bit too hard so we could not extend our stay because of it. 3) breakfast was included and was convenient to have. 4) no hooks or racks for clothing in the room so things are left on the floor. No hooks for towels either, so they end up being in a pile on the floor 5) Despite a “do not disturb” sign left, cleaning staff come in into the room.

Great stay

Very helpful n friendly service. Great location. The breakfast spread was even changed from morning to morning.
Neoh, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cheap stay in an only OK area. It’s a shopping street but all the shops appear to sell the same stuff and it’s very generic. Far from the nearest train stations and taxis cannot take you to the door, they have to drop you off 600-800m away. Breakfast was very basic but free, service was excellent. Overall good for the money.
Phillip, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I loved my stay. I was with my toddler and the staff was extremely accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure we were ok and well taken care of. Breakfast was good and there’s also lots to do in the area, very walkable and lively. Highly recommend!!
Taneish, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Incredible service from check-in to check-out. All the staff were incredibly attentive, which made our stay very enjoyable. Special bonus for the iced lemon tea service on the rooftop and the thoughtful assistance all the way to our taxi at departure. Don’t hesitate — go with your eyes closed!

Really really nice and friendly hotel

Really friendly and lovely hotel with great service especially with the tea floor. The location was fantastic as it was on a pedestrian street. Good food options and cafes nearby. Easy to get around with trains and walking.

10/10 Exceptional

This was a beautiful place with great staff. It’s clean and quiet. It’s affordable yet had all the basic amenities. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The inn is next to the largest business center in Liwu. Everything is at your doorstep. It’s a mix of old and new Guangzhou which I really enjoyed and appreciated. I would definitely recommend and come again.
Muna, 9-night trip

6/10 Good

Fantastic location with lots of shops and eateries just outside of hotel. Hotel staff is very helpful but hotel itself is very basic. The shower has no door/ curtain and is with the toilet inside the bathroom. So the toilet gets wet after a shower. Wash basin is outside of bathroom. They provide only shampoo and shower gel, there is no conditioner. There is no phone, fridge or TV in the room. If you need to phone someone in Guangzhou, you can ask front desk to call for you. There is a self-serve laundry room on 2nd floor with a modern standing steam iron there. You can check status of the washers and dryers from the comfort of your room.

eception desk, clean rooms and good location, tasty breakfast and pleasant ambiance on the rooftop lounge. Will be returning for my next trip to Guangzhou for certain
Nabil Robert, 9-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My recent stay at the Starry Sky Observatory Inn in Guangzhou was an absolutely magical experience from start to finish. This charming boutique inn offered the perfect escape from the city noise while remaining conveniently close to the main attractions. The undeniable highlight was the breathtaking stargazing terrace on the rooftop, which, complete with telescopes and cozy seating, provided a stunning evening retreat even amidst the city's glow. My room was both stylish and incredibly comfortable, featuring modern amenities, soft lighting, and a very comfortable bed that guaranteed a great night's sleep. The staff truly made the stay exceptional with their friendly and attentive service, always ready with excellent local recommendations for food and sightseeing. Its location was ideal, situated in a peaceful neighborhood yet just steps away from cafes, shops, and public transportation, offering the best of both worlds. Each morning began with a delicious and fresh breakfast that perfectly fueled a day of exploration. Overall, the inn delivers a unique and wonderful experience that standard hotels can't match, and I can't wait to return—I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Guangzhou.

This is a very stylish boutique hotel. You go through a small street to enter but presently surprised with a welcoming lobby. Rooms are more on the modern style. Our floor has the Bruce Lee theme and decoration. The laundry room and the gym are a bonus. Rooms are clean. Hotel location is very convenient.
Edmond, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel is really reliable, with clean and hygienic rooms, high-definition projection, delicious breakfast, and free video membership. It has a high cost performance ratio and has been the most satisfying hotel I have ever stayed in. I love the retro style of Xiguan, the breakfast is nutritious, the rooms are clean, and there is also free video membership, providing a satisfying experience.

The property is old and dirty. The rooms smell of cigarette smoke everywhere. The location is terrible, taxis/Didi can not come close to the hotel. Avoid this hotel.
