Städtereisen Shiwan

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
