We booked the Victoria hotel for our stay while attending the Canton Fair in Guangzhou, October 2019. The location was very close to the fair and the hotel offered a shuttle (though we opted most mornings to use the DiDi ride service because it was so cheap and it provided comfort).
The hotel was very beautiful and spacious. The rooms were good size with large, well lit bathrooms and nice shower facilities. The view of the city was also very beautiful from my room on the 19th floor. THere was a small catered reception in the lobby each afternoon around 5 I believe. We were always on the go so we only had fleeting glimpses, though I did try some nice sushi there one night.
There's a starbucks right in the lobby. The breakfast buffet was very nice. There was juice, water, coffee and cappucinos as well as some fresh blended drink each morning. There was a nice mixture of western and eastern dishes and it was nice that the offerings were changed up each day. We also ate at the restaurant for lunch one day and the food was good.
The front desk helped us with everything we asked, such as laundry, taxis, and airport transportation. The only drawback was that the ATM was not compatible with our Bank of America Debit cards, so the only way to get cash on premises was a direct money exchange. Though we did learn later that there was a China Bank about a 5 minute walk from the hotel.
I would definitely choose it again for the Canton Fair.
