Spacious room, ideal area for people that seek a more peaceful ambiance at night. Extremely professional and courteous staff, from the front desk to the cleaning ladies. Will for sure return here in the future if I ever visit Guangzhou again.

The hotel is clean and smells lovely. Its location is close to tourist attractions, and it's easy to find restaurants nearby. The staff are wonderful and provide excellent service, including the front desk, housekeepers, and doormen. Everyone is cheerful and extremely helpful. The room is newly decorated, clean, and the bed is comfortable. What I liked most was having a separate sofa area for lounging and a desk for working.

We had an amazing stay at Citynote hotel. The location was excellent. Just a few steps away from Dafo Temple and a few minutes walk from Beijing road shopping street. They also have an amazing dining experience with free midnight snacks. Will definitely stay here again.

Highly recommended - 1) location is great, linked to onelinkmall and mrt, walking distance to nearby malls like grand view. 2) Good sized,comfortable one bedder for a couple with a toddler. Had a pillow menu which is much appreciated as the default was too soft for us. What stands out is 3) Their service. All their staff made us feel welcomed and were prompt to attend to our requests.

I had a wonderful stay at K. Space Hotel. The staff were very nice, friendly & always helpful whenever I needed assistance. One of the highlights is the complimentary supper served every night, offering light dim sum & snacks. The hotel also provides complimentary coffee throughout the day. The location is excellent & very strategic, just a short walk from Beijing Road Pedestrian Street, with plenty of shopping, restaurants & attractions nearby. It is also convenient for accessing the metro station & exploring Guangzhou. Overall, this hotel offers great value for money with excellent hospitality, thoughtful amenities, & a superb location. I would definitely stay here again on my next visit to Guangzhou.

What to know before visiting Guangzhou

Quick overview of Guangzhou City and what draws visitors

Guangzhou City is a lively destination where theme parks, observation decks and events & shows dominate bookings on Klook. Demand swings through the year, with a pronounced busy season in late spring and much quieter months in early autumn.

Best times to visit and what to expect on price and crowds

Klook booking data shows the busiest month is May and the quietest month is September. Price patterns move separately from demand at times: prices peak around March while the lowest typical prices on Klook tend to be in December. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for September or December when demand and prices are both comparatively low; for peak-season atmosphere and the highest visitor energy, May delivers the busiest vibe even though the absolute highest prices often fall earlier in the year.

Tips for travellers from Australia

Australian travellers typically book about ten days ahead, so plan your must-do experiences at least a week or two in advance, especially for May when demand is highest. Many activities here still allow late, flexible bookings — some options open up within a couple of days — so a short, spontaneous trip can work if you leave must-see bookings until closer to travel. Use Klook to lock in priority tickets or timed entries when you need certainty, and otherwise take advantage of the flexibility for smaller plans.
