My stay at the hotel was lovely! The rooms were spacious and clean, with a beautiful view over the river. Although the hotel is relatively small compared to others, it provided a calm and restful night. The service was exceptional, with polite and friendly staff who even assisted me in booking a taxi to the airport. The location, nestled in the tree-lined heritage area of Shamian Island, was vibrant during the day but a bit noisy. The dining experience offered a good selection with a nice river view, but it could be improved for European guests. Overall, a comfortable and enjoyable stay with great value for money.
