The hygiene was good, no bugs or anything. The staff were friendly and responsive to requests. Our room faced the commercial street and was surprisingly quiet at night. Right outside the hotel, turn left and you're on Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street. If you turn left again and walk about 200-300 meters, you'll find Tao Tao Ju, Lian Xiang Lou, and Nanxin Milk Experts. Further down is Yongqingfang. If you turn right instead, just a few tens of meters away are Huang Shang Huang and Guangzhou Restaurant. Since we were traveling with a child, we mostly took taxis. (For reference: A round trip to Chimelong Safari Park was about 50 RMB; to the Sacred Heart Cathedral about 15 RMB; and to the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall (which you can combine with a visit to the Museum of the Nanyue King, walkable from there) about 20 RMB. Shamian Island was not far, we walked there; Chen Clan Academy was also walkable (after visiting Chen Clan Academy, cross a pedestrian bridge and you'll find "Dimdoude" not far). Guangzhou Tower was about 20 RMB away.) My daughter loved Nanxin the most, we ate there four times. The sweet soups, rice noodle rolls, congee, and plain wontons were all delicious.
