• Great Budget Hotel for Price

  I have stayed at this hotel for a total of just over 3 continuous months, while I lived in Guangzhou. I was living out of the hotel while I worked in Product Sourcing in the Guangzhou area. I can tell you this hotel is great value, because for the price ,which was as low as $18AUD a night fluxuating upto $25AUD a night, is super cheap by Australian standards, but its also clean and reasonably modern and well built.
  
  I have stayed is alot of other cheap hotels, and usually they were falling apart had issues in the room. This hotel has a great balance of price and accommodation standards.
  
  I would say however its not really very close to shops. Its tucked away from the main street of Liwan district (Zhongshan Ba Lu).
  
  There are some little gems of places in the same street as the hotel, there is a decent Chinese restaurant about 500 meters along Huangsha Ave and there is an amazing Spa and Massage centre right beside the restaurant, but for general shopping and groceries, its a bit of a walk (2klms+) or a taxi ride 10RMB to the nearest Carefour or Wallmart.
  
  Liwan Lake opposite the hotel is pleasant and enjoyable for a walk and if you walk around to the otherside, you can then take some backstreets in behind Zhongshan Ba Lu and explore a plethora of Chinese restaurants and little shops.
  
  Ultimately Liwan is a fair way from the main CBD of Guangzhou and is not really a place for tourism or holiday stay. But if you want to find a cheap hotel that is a good balance and you are looking to explore the more local areas of Guangzhou, this hotel is the best. I would steer you away from other hotels in the main street if Liwan. I have tried several. they are rather dodgy.

  Ten minutes walk from Zhongshanba metro stop, this budget hotel is OK. Quiet comfortable room. My bathroom has no door, only curtain. No breakfast. I asked for a quieter room as there is a bridge in front of hotel.
  I like it that you need the hotel card to activate the elevator. No outsider can go inside.
  They only provide towel for free. The rests: water, comb, toothbrush and toothpaste, you need to buy for a small price.

  Directions to hotel - Exit Zhongshanba Station Exit A and walk straight along the road towards the Inner Ring Road Highway. Don't go up the pedestrian bridge but cross the main road below the bridge. Straightaway turn left after you cross and walk all the way straight for abt 5 min. There are a couple of signs indicating the hotel is just up ahead, if you can spot them.
  I booked the hotel only hours before I arrived and it appears that my booking confirmation have not reached them yet. Rather than leave me to my own devices, the hotel staff called the site to clarify matters and eventually gave me a room after that. They were professional and cordial in their service. And it's not just the concierge, the cleaning ladies are polite and smiley too!
  The colors of the hotel is bright and inviting, a color scheme I don't find in many budget ensembles. The room I was in is also large and spacious. Wifi is stable too. TV was shot, but that's a small price to pay esp since I was already paying so little. My only grouse is that there is no staircase, and only one elevator :/
  I should probably mention that there was a small blackout while I was staying there. However, it only lasted less than 5min before electricity resumed. The whole area was pretty quiet and peaceful. You gotta walk about 10min to reach the liwan garden across the road, while 20min would bring you to Zhong Shan Ba train station (red line) - you can get to pretty much anywhere from there
