Avoid this hotel like the plague unless you don't mind an awful smell of smoke everywhere, dirty carpets and furniture.

The hotel itself is quite dated already and there is scent of cigarettes even on the non-smoking and the carpet and facade are already dated as well.

There are some old stains on the carpet and chairs,

The hotel room itself needs quite a bit of touch up , carpet wise , shower  water pressure wise, overall lighting wise , the room brightness really needs improvement.

- We caught a male staff member in the restaurant spitting on the carpet.

Don't like carpet in the room, caught a few tiny black bugs crawling around

However, the room decor is quite outdated and somehow the furnishings, beddings, carpet do not go with each other

We requested for a big metered taxi as we were 4 people with 4 bags and the concierge arranged it for us.

Staff speaks (basic) English and were really helpful when our luggage got lost on the flight.

I can left my luggages  at the concierge.

There is literally no food available as veg anywhere by the walking distance.

Location-wise it is ok as it is about 5-8min walk to the nearest subway station and there is also a mall close by to have food and drinks.

Hotel canton is in a great location walking distance to metro and right near great shopping restaurants and the Beijing road cultural district.

very convenient for shops and restaurants nearby.

Only tried the latter one, food was good.

There are plenty of food stalls if you like just across the hotel is you get out from 2nd floor exitng Beijing Road.

It is located at the end of Beijing road making it a strategic location for shopping and restaurants.

The location at Beijing Road is excellent for great shopping and a good variety of authentic local food which we enjoyed daily during our stay there.

The hotel is centrally located around Beijing road, which is like one of the main district in Guangzhou that is filled with shops, foods & other attractions.

I love the location, its 2 min away from one of the busiest streets in the city: Beijing Lu, a street full of restaurants, retail stores.

There are plenty of restaurant outside the hotel building.

Breakfast in this hotel is very good with a wide array of food, a good combination of Western and Chinese.

but had dinner in the Chinese Restaurant which was quite good.

Food in the restaurant is so so as I chose to go out onto the streets for my meals.

Room service food was brilliant, and the buffet breakfast has everything you would expect from a large international 5 star hotel chain.

A large hotel situated very convenient for business, functions and visiting Guangzhou, comfortable, good staff, and restaurants

In the evening 9:15 at the bar: we checked the menue and ordered some snacks 'no snacks - kitchen closed', ok, then a glass of wine 'No glass - just bottles', well then a nice cocktail, a mojito please 'No mojito - no have mint'.

Walk down to hotel lobby, it is tourist spot of Beijing road (shopping).

RIght on the starting point of beijing road.

The property is located very close to Beijing Road and that's the only good thing I can say about it.

The location is good, just 3 mins walk to Beijing road, and 10 mins to subway station.

We stayed on the upper most floor so the view is good, you can see most Beijing road area from up there.

Walking distance to Train station across the road with a good shopping for ladies clothing at YUYuan Garden.

I stayed in Canton hotel for the 4th time, it's location is very good on Beijing road which is the main Shopping area of Guangzhou.

Stayed in Guangzhou for a night and we opted for this hotel due to its convenient location to Beijing Road Pedestrian Shopping area.

The view was quite nice, near to public transportation, easy to find and near Beijing Road.

Location location location.. walking distance from the shopping district of beijing road.

It's strategically located on the Beijing Road with walking access to the main shopping district.

Good value , location
Ten mins walk from Beijing Road which has lots of shopping and a huge Haidilao hotpot outlet ( the biggest hotpot chain in China)

The room in this hotel big, clean and the location not exactly in Beijing road crowded,

Tha hotel have separate for 2 lobby and nearby shopping place Beijing Road breakfast are varaities

Situated right across Beijing road(walking street).

Room was very clean with a King size bed.

While the hotel is a bit older and needs a revamp the rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable.

The staff was polite and the room was clean,

This hotel service is so so, room is clean and has free wifi only a the recep area.

Stayed before and came back again as the price is good, rooms are clean, service is friendly, and it's located at the top of Beijing Rd - Guangzhou's vibrant premiere shopping strip.

Room clean with good size bath/ shower facility.

Since 2004 , the service has been good and rooms are neat and clean.

The room was clean enough for us and everyday the staff did a good job.

The hotel itself is pleasantly fitted out with very clean rooms and bathroom.

Room is tidy, cleaned and made up everyday and toilet amenities are adequate.

Let me start with the good - The rooms were very clean and the housekeeper was fantastic.

The WiFi was decent, the cleanness of the room is decent.

Great value, clean room, perfect bed and located near the main shopping street in Guangzhou with the river only a few taxi minutes away. Recommended.

The rooms were clean and spacious with comfortable king sized beds.

even though it said no smoking zone.Staff was non chalant about it.

Smokers everywhere even the non smoking floor had a hint of cigarette smell.

but somehow there was a faint cigarette smell still prevailing.

The room literally stinks of stale sewage and is unbearable unless the air con is kept turned on.

Other than that, the wifi is terrible, our bathroom smelled like pee, and they are VERY stingy with their maps.

The only issue was with the shower a plug in the drain blocked it and caused flooding from the base into the bathroom floor the attendant pulled it out and cleaned up the mess, I asked her to leave it out to save further embarassment.

), somewhat musty rooms (second hand smoke??

but made me wondered if I didnt insist would they still be checking so hard to give us the non-smoking one? well.

but more of a general chinese problem, if you dont smoke your are going to have a bad time about smokers, they even smoke in elevators!

If I had not encountered such a very disgusting experiences, they would have been acceptable hotel for the price for me.

but carpeting, perhaps because of the light colouring, looks soiled.

Now, the bad part is that there is no rule for smokers.

and the room really did not smell of smoke at all.

a lot of the time a request for a non-smoking room is ignored, especially in china.

It would have been a lot better if there were just a few more tv channels in english.

Although the view was good, the bed was like a rock slab, the computer broken, no bath, the lighting dark and we couldn't find any Western TV channels.

but don’t expect a lot of English channels on your TV sets.

Also - TV in the rooms , no english channels besides CNN

I would never stay there again.

but not great), the entire design is a bit old-fashioned
- No English entertainment channels, only CNN

High-speed internet available in the room - ethernet cable included - No wifi.

No many TV channel choices, so be prepared to work at beijing lu Road.

While I mentioned that the TV in the room needs to be upgraded to LCD, I did not use it since I always log into the internet using the laptop I brought with me.

but Tv channel in room should have more because 90% is chinese even MTV almost chinese song.

The TV is pretty weak--you only get CNN for a few hours a day, and I can generally only find one other English channel.

Also the room thermostat doesn't seem to respond to what you change it to

Checking in was very slow and the room had a strong outdoor of mildew and were very humid, even with a/c on.

AC was a problem, too much heating even if its on cold.

this hotel is in bad shape, the AC isn't working properly and its hot in this city, the walls are thin so you can hear from room to another no privacy, the room smells moldy, the furniture is very old the carpet filthy.

I didn't have any problems with air conditioning or any room related problem.

Remember you rely on air-conditioning for at least 6 months of the year, to cool the room and remove humidity; it blows cold and can be noisy for some, as are most all the china hotel air-conditioners.

It seems in these older hotels the air conditioning has a very hard time keeping up.

the downside is some rooms where airconditioning does not work and had to be changed by me after the first night .The staff insisted they had set it right .

The room is starting to show its age a little with a few scuff marks here and there and the air conditioning starting to battle to keep the rooms cool.

However if it is peak of summer you could do well to look elsewhere since aircon cooling was really an issue.

Rooms are fine except for the strong smell from the carpet (as it often happens in humid climates when  the rooms are not well ventilated).

The Crystal Orange Hotel Guangzhou Taojin is near these landmarks: Foshan Lingnan Tiandi, Chimelong Safari Park, Shayuan - Fushan Fish Reserve, Dashatou Ecological Cultural Tourism Zone, GuangZhou BuXingJie, Canton Tower, Xiqiao Mountain National Forest Park, Chen Clan Ancestral Hall-Folk Craft Museum, The Ancestral Temple, Beijiao Bridge, Chimelong International Circus, LiYuan GuangZhou Jie, Baiyun Mountain, Nanfeng Ancient Kiln, GuangDong NanFang MeiYuanShengTai Cun (ZhanShi ZhongXin), Chimelong Paradise, GuangDong DiSan DeXing GongCi JinXi XianSheng WenHua YiShu ZhanLanGuan, Shamian Island, Qiandeng Lake, Dongchong Soviet Arsenal, Huacheng Square, Zhujiang New Town, Yongkang Baiyun Scenic Resort, Museum of the Western Han Dynasty Mausoleum of the Nanyue King, ShangYeJie, Guangzhou Metro, Central Television Nanhai Film Studio, Dongguan Exhibition Hall, Onelink International Plaza, Chinese Ceramic City, QinHua RiBen GuanDong JunHu Lu ShouBei Dui JiuZhi ChenLieGuan, Temple of the Six Banyan Trees & Flower Pagoda (Liurong Temple), Changlu Farm, Guangzhou Opera House, Wong Fei Hung Lion Dance Martial Arts Museum, Taikoo Hui, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou Zoo, Sacred Heart Cathedral, Guangzhou Library, Confucius Temple of Foshan, Flowers' World of Shunde, Baomo Scenery, Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Memorial Hall, Guangdong Museum, Daqitou Village, Lychee Bay Scenic Area, Mt.

Large, awesome beds, giant TV, wide range of toiletries and very comfortable chairs.

Area surrounding the hotel also good, lots of restaurants from Burger King to upmarket for all tastes, shops, malls and near metro.

We had a twin room and the two beds were very good, maybe better than my own bed at home.

As  one other guest stated, the bed pillows are fabulous.

About the only nice thing I can say is that the beds and pillows were the perfect blend of softness with something firm underneath.

Rooms quiet, clean and comfortable with the beds and pillows excellent.

Kfc , burger king ,mc Donald also within walking distance.

Rooms appear to have been recently renovated, and are very spacious, with huge beds that have a choice of hard or soft pillows.

The king size bed was excellent and very comfortable along with the pillow and the flatscreen tv's have been replaced in the lounge and bedroom.

Only thing I found missing was the pillow sizes were quite big (although very soft)

I do feel they have improved the bedding and I am happy with that.

But room was good, It has 2 queen size beds with good linen.

Clean hotel , good service , good staffs , good price and location 
Its just 5-10 min walk to the metro 
And the manager knows english it was the best point because nobody there knows english and it was our big problem

The hotel run shuttle buses to canton fair and back free of charge which is great.

It is near the metro station do od you want you can go visit the city.

The service this hotel provides for business people travelling to the Canton Fair is first class, with registration in the lobby and shuttle bus both ways.

but it's a short walk to the metro so it's easy to get around.

This hotel is also a stop for an airport shuttle bus.

(On an aside, there is plenty to do and see in Guangzhou and it’s easy to do so using the metro.)

The best part is that the airport shuttle 2B  stops right outside the hotel n picks u up from there itself so reaching the airport is not a hassle.

Local metro station is Taojin (about 10 min walk) and the Metro is in fact as easy to navigate as Singapore or Hong Kong, English signs every where,

The free shuttle bus to fair grounds makes it more economical too.

We had visited Guangzhou for the Canton Fair and they had a shuttle bus every half hour to the venue which made it very convenient for us.

Airport shuttle - 2A - goes right upto the hotel so its very convenient both ways.

Location: Not bad, only 5mins walk to the nearest metro station (Taojin)

Rooms are in excellent condition and decent variety of food at Breakfast buffet.. City centre area and not far from Railway station and the bus drop-off point from HKG.. 

Haveli, The Indian Restaurant, is right across the road and they serve delicious food..

Great business hotel with a superb location close to Metro station, Shopping areas.

- We arrived Guangzhou through the East Railway station & surprisingly we found a free shuttle 
- the nearest metro station is like 7-10 min walking
- Hotel location was ok.   couple of shops & restaurants around the hotel.

It is easy to reach the hotel since it is within walking distance (about a couple of blocks) from the Taojin Metro Station (Exit B).

Getting the 72 hour visa at the airport was a long process be prepared.

However, locally there were tons of options (none of which took our Visa card).

Resent nickel dime charges to use business center.

The only hiccup that we encountered was an additional charge item on our bill upon check-out; someone used our room number to charge his/her drinks at the hotel's cafe.

but charged again and as at today 08/07 still have not released this pre authorization.

The breakfast was not included in the room charges and had to paid extra

Bellowing loud voices and seeing a group of them sucking on bottles of beer like monkeys, soon ended the pleasant atmosphere in the executive lounge

5.Laundry
Including a 100RMB allowance in your room charge adds income to the hotel,

but they charged me around 20 USD for it!

They charge based on their charges in Hong Kong..
Not value for money.

This is not a secure transaction and allows all the personnel at the hotel to see your charge card data.

The charge for the internet was not mentioned by agoda when booking.And it is expensive!The hotel is a little on the old side and the charge for the deluxe room is not great value for money.The staff are friendly and helpful.

They charge RMB3 per minute to use the internet in the business lounge.

If I were managing this facility I would be ashamed to charge this much.

The only down side to this hotel is the extra charges for high speed internet access (100 CNY/day).

Hotel is very close to the garden hotel which means it's very good transport links and plenty of bars and restaurants in the area.

Take a bath, sleep, eat a good breakfast.

It has a very good Indian restaurant behind.

Very good location having a very good Indian restaurant opposite the hotel good breakfast nice shopping nearby and good rooms on executive floor  well served we usually on business book this hotel and being a priority member in holiday inn makes check in and out very quick and staff speaks english

For those who are used to Holiday Inns, this place will be a confirmation of its hotels good service and standard.I confirm the location of the hotel is convenient, in front you have a good Indian restaurant (nothing soecial though).I discovered some nice restaurants in the closeby heping street ( a Japanese,a Thai, a Tibetan and a western bar,tapas).

The hotel is a oasis because the american food and all the hotel is very different to china and have the customs of your country

(not a chinese kind rooms) breakfast is good enough to skip Lunch at market .advice take taxi only from hotel porch , avoid going out by walk to be safer side .

Thank you all very much at Front Desk, Business Centre, Lobby Café & Bar, House Keeping and Concierge, and see you next time around.

The Inn Bar is a nice little bar to have a relaxing beer after a day of walking the fair.

Found staff eating in quiet corners such as bathroom in little used meeting room area.

There is HAVELI Indian restaurant exactly opposite the lane of this hotel.

Indian guests can cross the street to eat at Haveli Restaurant, which is okay.

but there was a fair selection of western and chinese food and the price was reasonable.

The food was amazing & the bar was the same.

Before I got a half liter mug of Carlsberg beer.

and for Indians, a very good, Indian restaurant Haveli is just outside loddy.

Upon check-in I was given discount coupons for the buffet for two visits so this is why we chose to eat there twice.

but a Starbucks on the ground floor which is a plus

Rooms are clean and tidy.

The room was clean and comfortable comparable to any 3-4 star hotel in Canada.

The room was clean and the location of the hotel is convenient near Tian He and next to overseas chinese village.

The important things, my sheets and towels were very clean as was my room.

the rooms are clean and quiet well maintained compared to other Chinese hotels that i have stayed at.

Positives:
1) Comfy and clean rooms
2) Quick check in and check out
3) Decent amenities provided in room (e.g.

That being said, the rooms were clean and comfortable.

Nice hotel neat and clean rooms very friendly staff.

Comfortable clean room, robes, teas, lotions.

I will say the rooms were clean and everything worked well with the exception of the aircon.

It has everything I needed from a hotel here: an "ok" gym (that might be "not ok" if you are a serious gym rat, not my case), proximity to the subway (a 5 minute walk if most), centrally located, spacious and very clean room, free/decent wi-fi and (if you can afford it,) good (and pricey) bars and restaurants inside the facilities.

The rooms are clean and of international standard, the public area is very lively and the restaurants are truly of international style.

Everything is around 10-15 minutes drive by Taxi
One of the best business hotels
The room is clean and with all modern facilities, TV has English channels.

the rooms were very clean and airconditioned.

However, I have always (I travel to GZ twice a year) found the rooms to be very clean and comfortable with good facilities.

but clean and the rooms are large and well maintained.

Only downers were there was still smoking allowed in the hotel and noticed the smell a few times.

The only fault was a very bad musty, damp smell in the corridor.

Although I was on a non-smoking floor, the smell was really awful, a mix of smoke and mold both in the corridor and in the room. Furniture in the room is very old, and i could not open the window to get some fresh (?)

There was a very strange smell in the hallway.

Toilet curtain was smelling, toilet flush need to do 2 times to clean it properly.

Room condition: an old hotel with new renovation so the interior is fine just that the room (non-smoking) is a bit smelly don't know why.

The musty smell, tired carpet, poor finishings tell it all.

The Suite we were given had a terrible damp smell which we complained about.

The rooms need a real face-lift and bathrooms are a bit musty.

but was more of the same fungus smelly all of them due to lack of fresh air ventilation.What saved the situation was the very helpful staff y had to mention it
specially the waitress at the bar and restaurant.

The room was not ready when I arrived, there was no complementary water and the room smells terrible - I am sure it is a smoking room

Wing, Elaine and everyone else in the club lounge offered their usual great service and we were surprised by an extremely good chocolate creation sent to our room by Linda.

The staff, particuarly Wing, Jocelyn and all the other staff in the club lounge made us feel very welcome.

In the club lounge, the staff always make us feel very welcome.

Shangri-La is still my first choice in Guangzhou, the staff are very friendly and check in was very smooth at the Horizon Club Lounge.

Special highlight Iris Wu at woktoo cafe and also Wing, Clark who at club lounge.

And, again as normal the staff in the club lounge went above and beyond in making our stay perfect. It's things like coffee being refilled in the morning without needing to ask - and during happy hour being offered bagels (several months ago I expressed my love of bagels and I think it is amazing that this has been remembered!)

First time at a Shangri-La and after the perfect service will look at others when i travel , room was just perfect , Sherry on reception made my stay very special , was always there to help and Tracy in the club Lounge was the perfect Host, Very Lucky to have such great staff.

We had access to the club lounge which has happy hour between 5.30 - 7.30pm, great buffet food and drinks.

Every day after exploring the city, I would unwind with a couple of beers and light dinner in The Club Lounge.

We will have no hesitation to come back again to such a wonderful hotel with such a good Club lounge.

All the normal parts of the hotel, exceptional staff, great food and drink in the club lounge etc were just as good as always.

the Horizon club lounge service is professional and
 Good especially Bonnie fan
 The hotel is closing to zhujiang river and the sense is beautiful the traffic is convenient  hotel is clean totally impression is perfect 

Thanks
