The Westin Pazhou

I've had their lunch buffet before and it was great. This time, I snagged a good deal using a Guangdong culture and tourism voucher, booking a one-night stay with breakfast and dinner, and the experience was fantastic. While the hotel's decor shows its age a bit, it's very well-maintained, clean, spacious, and soundproofed. It truly lives up to its reputation as an established luxury hotel. The hotel's buffet is consistently delicious. Dinner offers a wide variety, with the smoked salmon, marinated seafood, white wine, and freshly shaken cocktails all being excellent. The breakfast rice noodles (changfen) are better than what you'd find in many restaurants, and they're incredibly tasty with Guilin chili sauce – I had two servings, haha! I didn't bring my swimsuit this time, so I couldn't try the pool, but I'll definitely check it out next time.

Buffet Dinner: The buffet dinner completely exceeded my expectations! I thought it would just be a standard, run-of-the-mill hotel buffet, but to my surprise, everything from the freshness of the seafood to the seasoning of the hot dishes was remarkable. The freshly grilled steak and crayfish, in particular, were on par with what you'd get at an à la carte restaurant. To find this quality at such a price point was truly a pleasant surprise.

The hotel is great, the gym is excellent, and the service is also very good. But seriously, please stop calling for follow-up surveys; it's really annoying and creates a bad impression. Just so you know, lol. It's also super convenient for exhibitions around the Canton Fair, haha.

Terrible attitude! They charged me dozens of yuan for a can of Wang Laoji (herbal tea) when there was no price listed. Other hotels offer it for free, but you guys charge for it and act all snobby about it? And the hygiene was awful, the whole hotel smelled terrible.

On a business trip for an exhibition, this hotel is directly connected to the Canton Fair Complex, which is incredibly convenient. Both the interior and exterior environments are fantastic! The quality and service at Westin are, as always, excellent! I highly recommend this hotel!

You can always count on the service at international star-rated hotels, and perhaps even more so for foreign guests. The doorman was incredibly polite and quick to help with luggage from the trunk, which was fantastic. However, the front desk attendant was completely expressionless throughout, which was a real mood killer. As for the executive room, the air conditioning was a joke – it didn't cool down at all the entire night. While they were quick to move us, the first replacement room reeked of barbecue when we opened the door, much to the embarrassment of the housekeeping manager. The second room they gave us was on a different floor and was thankfully a degree cooler. The breakfast at the Executive Lounge is highly recommended; while not a huge variety, it's more than sufficient, and the view from the 40th floor is beautiful and the environment is quiet.

The room was spacious! The air conditioning was set at a perfect temperature, making it very comfortable in the humid Guangzhou weather. There was even underfloor heating! The service was also excellent; the front desk staff were quick and incredibly friendly, and the housekeeping aunties were lovely too. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit!

The hotel has a direct access to the exhibition hall on the third floor, which is very convenient. I highly recommend the Chinese and Western restaurant for breakfast. The hygiene and facilities are absolutely five-star standard, no complaints there.
