My first stay in this famous hotel. Overall, it is not bad. But its services really fall short of 5 star standards. Staff make promises which they can't deliver. They made some fundamental mistakes about key information of the hotel... First, I called the hotel and enquired the shuttle bus schedule. The hotel provides free shuttle to/from Guangzhou East railway... More

The first time round I stayed at Dongfang Binguan from 1981 to 1983 for almost two years. At that time it was basically the only top-class (!) hotel in Guangzhou. During the last five years I returned to Dongfang several times and enjoyed the stay there. Of course, the hotel is now fully refurbished and a good place to stay.... More

I stayed here with my family. The cost was reasonable for the room size. The best feature of this hotel is the location. Very close to great restaurants and subway system that allow for easy access to all of Guangzhou. Taxis are easy to catch on this street too. The rooms were clean but we found the beds really hard...

This hotel has been a mainstay for business travellers (Canton Fair etc.) for decades and at one time was "the" place to stay. And it shows! Unfortunately for the hotel, the rest of Guangzhou has moved on and developed with international five star hotel brands appearing in new development areas such as Tianhe, resulting in the Dongfang becoming inconvenient and...

This government-owned hotel is precisely what you'd expect from that kind of proprietor: looks really good on the outside, but once you are inside there's just so much average and wrong. Take, for example, the room clock. Shouldn't every room have an alarm clock? Well, mine didn't. And neither did those of my colleagues. Why? Beats me. A quiet night.... More

I was staying at Dongfang during China Canton Fair in October, and could it extremely pleasant for stay in Guangzhou. Location was nice, close to downtown (such as Beijing Lu) and many other points of interest. Hotel itself is purely chinese but has all attributes of any known hotel chain. Rooms are spacious, free wifi was a great bonus. food... More

Behind the outstanding facade of marble and numerous staff in the main foyer is a hotel that needs to have an upgrade programme. The service was excellent, lots of staff and quick to respond. However, its time for the owners to reinvest in the property particularly the lifts, corridors and most importantly the rooms. This hotel is also costly and... More

We stayed here during the Guangzhou fair in April/May. The rates were very expensive - AUD290 per night. They put my husband and I on seperate single beds in our room. The beds were both rock hard. The breakfast was so poor that my husband decided to go to the McDonalds every morning after the first breakfast. The staff are... More

Breasfast is great. Room is good. However, I did not sleep well, because my bathroom had terrible and heavy urination smell which made me want to... More
