Guangzhou Yuanlai Collection Homestay (Yongqingfang Lizhiwan Branch)

Very good experience in this Xiguan style building hotel. The building itslef is an official Guangzhou Heritage Building. The location is adjacent to Guangzhou famous YongQingFang Lizhi Lake, and Shangxiajiu pedestrian walk. Next to the hotel also have a local authentic dimsum restaurant which serve from early morning til late night, a cafe is there downstair too. Very good neighborhood, many local food and resto nearby. We booked a 2-bed family room, everything is well provided including three unit of heaters that warm us in the middle of GZ's spring. Folding table and chair for us to have dinner are also provided. The front office are also very helpful in guiding us. Mr. Chen and Ms. Yaya even help us to book a car to take us to the airport on our last day here (the car is neat than average didis here). Just a suggestion if you are not local and tend to stay in this boutique hotel, make sure you have an active wechat therefore you can comunicate with the receptionist if any needed.

Full of antique furniture which makes a good vibe and feel like you are all the way back in time! Yet I would say the host could do better in cleaning and I believe the experience would be nicer with an upgraded mattress and perhaps a foldable desk / wardrobe for placing / storing things. But for sure, with this room rate, it is a good deal and I probably should not ask for more😂

Fantastic place to stay in Liwan. So comfortable and a cool cafe downstairs. Liwan is the place to be for that slice of what Guangzhou used to be
