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.

Gorgeous hotel room (the pictures don’t do it justice) in a rustic style, and even though our booking said “no window”, we had a huge window into an internal chamber with a skylight, just not to outside, which was a little grey anyway so no loss on our part! It’s a shame the room is small, so there isn’t much room for large luggage, but otherwise a good space for a weekend trip. The bed was also really comfy! The staff were friendly and had local English maps and food guides! P.s It was raining our trip but the rooftop terrace is a lovely place to chill in the sun.

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😂

Very cozy and huge stay for 4 of us. Definitely will come back same place as the location is very convenient.

Friendly and accommodating staff, rooms were very clean it was interesting to see some historic furniture on display. Was glad lift was available so we didn’t have to climb the stairs. Would like to stay here again if I’m in the area in the future. Highly recommended.

Quaint little homestay ideally located near lots of gorgeous cultural sites, helpful front desk staff, nice rooms.
