Stayed here during the Canton Fair. On first impression the hotel is large and grand and you can imagine that it was very impressive in its day. Previously the fair was held across the road, but now it is in the new exhinition centre which is approx a 25 min hair raising taxi drive across town!! The public areas are... more

I read a couple of reviews that hotel stuff treats a foreigner and an Asian couple impolitely. So when we decided to stay this hotel, it was very interesting that how they treat us(My partner is American and I'm Japanese)... We checked in around 10:30 pm and They were totally fine with us. Hotel stuff took us to the elevator... more

I stayed in Dongfang for few nights. I think the hotel is huge, almoust too big for my taste. It took me ages to go downstairs and reach restaurant, reception or gym. The hotel has two blocks A and B and if you are in block B then you will need at least 10 minutes to reach block A and... more

Everything was cleaned daily as supposed. The international restaurants are a little bit overpriced, but I ate there almost the whole week. Location is great,... more

We found the front desk staff very friendly and helpfull , and there was always one on hand that could speak English. The front desk manager helped us get a taxi... more

Reading a previous review about the state ownership of the Hotel, I understand many of the problems. The hotel is overstaffed, but to no use, since communication is almost impossible with most of them. I booked a room with access to the "Executive Lounge" ($450 US, because of Canton fair), only to learn that all you get is breakfast (decent)... more

I liked the hotel. I liked the grounds. I liked the public area. I was there for a conference that normally uses only very good hotels, so I was confident that this would be a good hotel (and it is). I stayed on the executive floor, and the room was very pleasant. I could tell from the floorplan on the... more
