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!!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Compact comfort in a good location
The location is extremely convenient, situated on one of the most well-known streets in the city. It’s close to the French neighbourhood, and the tube station isn’t too far away. The room is tiny, just as shown in the pictures.
If you don’t speak Mandarin or have access to Chinese streaming services, the projector won’t be of much use. They have a very convenient laundromat that’s free of charge, and it’s usually not too difficult to find a machine available. The gym is as small as the rooms, but hardly anyone uses it, likely because there’s no air conditioning.
Breakfast is the same every day: fried rice, noodles, eggs, chips, some fruit, and so on. Complimentary toiletries and two bottles of water per day were provided.

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 lobby of this hotel is exceptionally distinctive, with its wooden structures creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The floor is adorned with Moroccan-style tiles that add a touch of exotic charm. The rooms are fully equipped with modern amenities, and the mattress was exceptionally comfortable, ensuring a restful sleep. A highlight of the hotel is the rooftop outdoor viewing deck, which offers stunning night views of the city. It’s the perfect spot to unwind in the evening.

In general the overall stay experience was good. Staff was helpful and kind. Breakfast was not too bad equivalent to the value paid. Only downside was perhaps no mini fridge in the room so purchasing fresh fruits may not be ideal as no storage. The area located is described as a happening and lively street but to my dismay it was pretty much a dead street. So hanging out in within the area for shopping is not ideal. Despite that the location of the hotel is located not too far from very nice popular areas: Yongqingfang, Beijing pedestrian road as well as fashion wholesale malls. All within reach in approximately 10-15mins via DIDI (china’s e-hail).
Will I recommend this property? Yes! Budget friendly that meets your basic necessity in a hotel. The property also has a 24hour laundry room which is super convenient enabling you to travel light; more storage and weight space for your luggage so you can shop more!

Very happy with my stay, stayed here twice for 2 weeks at a time
Excellent, soft bed (did not try the Futon), amenities and internet provided, clean rooms Powerful AC to deal with the hot South China weather, despite Guangzhou being full of mosquitos in summer the rooms were entirely insect free and had mosquite nets or pesticide in case one left the window open, no power outages and always hot, running water, staff were young, nice and motivated and equipped with AI translators (Ive seen them work with Russian and English, I imagine German should work as well, cleaning staff always on time and always works well. Roof is accessible 2pm-midnight and has a tea and coffee bar, I recommend the lemon tea. Anything from the bar is delivered to the rooms by WeChat, which can also be used to ask the staff for support, which was happy to help with anything anytime (as long as it wasn't past midnight) Breakfast is alright, dumplings, fried rice and egg were my favourite, but the coffee could be better. Book in floor 8 and you have a great view from your window, otherwise you will most likely face the adjacent skyscrapers. The location is sublime, in the middle of the must see pedestrian street in the heart of Guangzhou, Taxis (DiDi Ride Hailing recommended) will get you anywhere cheaply within 30 minutes and Metro access as well as tons of restaurants, shops and local food at the square at the front door. If you order food with WeChat it can be delivered right to your room. 10/10

藏在廣州舊城區巷弄裏的迷你精品酒店。裝修很有文青風格，公共空間挂滿了記錄舊廣州的歷史照片，像個小型博物館。環境乾净，清潔員儘職有禮。大堂有免費水吧。早餐有現包現煮的餛飩麵，很有誠意。唯一美中不足的是，由於結構佈局所限，浴室做不到乾濕分離，不過也不太差，而且酒店的官方照片也顯示出來，并沒有刻意隱瞞或誤導。縂括而言，這是一家小小的，舒適的，性價比高的小酒店。

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.
