“Superb location. Fabulous rooms. Great staff.”
Such an amazing hotel. The staff go above and beyond. The rooms are beautiful and very clean. The hotel put on a boat for us to travel to the Canton Fair which was amazing. The location is superb. Would absolutely stay again.

“Good because of upgrade by manager”
We were upgraded to a bigger room. Std room has double bed which is not good & room is too basic. Booking com info should have made it clear that it is a double bed & not king size. For the price I could have gotten better five star hotels with king sized at better location.

Overall a nice, somewhat old-fashioned but very centrally located hotel. Check-in went smoothly. Perfect for sightseeing and a city trip. However, there were some shortcomings in the service. None of the hotel staff could speak English or really help with day tours. Even more serious, however, is the handling at check-out and the processing of the deposit payment. In all hotels in China, I received my deposit back to my account within a maximum of two days. Now, after more than a week, the credit/refund is still missing — which is a no-go nowadays. When asking about it, one is treated quite rudely, being told that the problem lies with the bank or the credit card provider, which is simply untrue. Technically, a refund within two days is absolutely possible. I am still waiting and will likely report this type of business practice. Therefore, deductions in the rating.

“Wonderful”
A big shout out to Issac, Roy, Sarah, For their kindness and help during our relaxing stay at the White Swan. The working team from the door man, front desk, porter, cleaning staff, management, restaurant staff, nightclub employees was exceptional and beyond our expectations. We highly recommend staying at the White Swan, the accommodation is first class, located at the rear of the property lies a treasure of 150 amazing buildings which can be explored, the tree lined streets add to the beauty of the area. In summary we will make a return visit hopefully soon. Penny and Colin.
