This time when I came to Guangzhou to visit Yongqing Fang and Shangxia Jiu, I specifically chose Five Rams City Hotel Guangzhou. After staying there, I realized that this old hotel, which has been open for decades, hides the comfort and convenience exclusive to the old city area.
The location of the hotel is really the golden point for travel in Laos and Guangzhou. You can walk 10 minutes to the Ximenkou subway station of Line 1, and 8 minutes to the Chenjiaci station of Line 8. The surrounding 3 kilometers directly cover Beijing Road, Shangxiajiu, and Xinghuan International Business Center. If you want to go shopping in clothes in the Thirteen Halls, and sweep dried seafood on Yide Road, you can take a 10 minute taxi to Tianzi Pier, Shamian, and Lizhiwan Chung of the the Pearl River Night Tour. The driving distance is less than 15 minutes. The most surprising thing for me when I drove here was the built-in parking lot in the courtyard. Residents can enter first, and the parking fee is only 20 yuan per day. In the city center of Guangzhou, where every inch of land is precious, this price is really friendly.
The hotel, which completed a comprehensive renovation in 2020, has no sense of antiquity like traditional hotels. The lobby is clean and spacious, and there is no stuffy odor when walking to the guest room area. I booked an executive twin room with an air purifier. When I entered, I searched around the bedside table and bathroom countertop, but couldn't find any floating dust. The bed sheets and duvet covers were fresh and flat, indicating that they had just been changed. The facilities in the room are well maintained, and the hot water comes out quickly and steadily. There are enough charging ports next to the desk, and the temporary handling work is also very convenient. After turning off the lights at night, the entire floor is quiet, and there is no noise in the hallway. I slept directly until dawn.
What warms my heart the most is the service details of the hotel. When I checked in with my child, the waiter saw the child voluntarily handing over a pack of snacks, which made the little one very happy. When I checked out, I left in a hurry and dropped my jade pendant that I had been wearing for many years under my pillow. As soon as I got on the ride hailing service, the hotel called me and helped me keep my belongings safe. When I went back to pick them up later, the front desk even helped me pack them in a sealed bag. This attitude of taking the guest's small matters to heart really adds points.
The hotel's facilities are also practical enough, with three multifunctional meeting rooms that can meet the needs of small business meetings. There is a convenience store downstairs, and it is particularly convenient to go downstairs to buy water and snacks when hungry in the middle of the night. All around are Laoguang food shops that have been open for more than ten years. You can eat authentic Wonton noodles and Braised Intestines just around the corner. You don't need to make a special strategy to find online stores. You can immerse yourself in the fireworks of Laoxiguan when you go downstairs.
After staying for three days, there is no sense of distance from high-end hotels, only the steadfastness and thoughtfulness of old-fashioned hotels in the old city area. Whether it's visiting old city attractions in Guangzhou or running business at nearby wholesale markets, Five Rams City Hotel Guangzhou is a cost-effective choice. Next time I come to Guangzhou, I will definitely choose to stay here.Show more
