I think this is the best hotel in Shantou.Price is affordable,good location.(just next to Packson Shopping Centre) Clean room. service is 5 Star.Butler Miss Molly very helpful.Tour desk next to the reception very useful and helpful.I will be back.

I go to Shantou once every year for Business and I've stayed at the Regency Hotel. This hotel is much better than the Regency Hotel, The front desk was very friendly, the western breakfast is served on a separate restaurant (which I liked very much), the beds are much softer than on the Regency Hotel, and It's located in Downtown...

I stayed in a suite and it was very spacious, clean and room service was excellent. The maid went out of her way to clean our messy room and hung all our wet clothes, put them on a rack that faced the window so our clothes would dry quickly The travel service next to the check-in counter was very good....

Normally, I would tend to go for newer hotels when I travel - liked the smell and feel of newer hotels, so to speak. However, when travelling with my 70 year old dad to his ancestral hometown recently, I had studied the Tripadvisor reviews and decided to choose this 5 star property, albeit an older hotel in Shantou.

Lobby decor flashy, bar seemed cozy, buffet breakfast looked complete. I got a charge out of the mosquito control solution: Decorative and interesting Venus Fly Trap plants in... More

I write this from the Golden Gulf. Shantou is of the normal tourist track so this is a hotel which was opulent in 1992 when it was built but is now somewhat in need of refurbisment the carpets can be less than clean in some areas. There are several restaurants some of which serve Western food others local and an... More

I stayed here for a business trip for a few days. My room was very nice and clean, nice decor, with everything in good working order. The problems I had were that, compared to other hotels in China that i had stayed in (4 + 5 star), it lacked in some areas. I found it very difficult to communicate with... More

There may be better hotels in ShanTou but this one is good value. I stayed there only once but really enjoyed my stay. It's a real pleasure to sit in the lobby drinking coffee and listening to the musician playing the piano. My room was clean and spacious and I was brought fresh fruits every day, very nice. The hotel... More
