First of, the hotel has changed its name to 喜达酒店, or Xida Hotel.
The location is ideal, located right behind a shopping mall with loads of shops and restaurants. McDonald's, KFC, Ajisen Ramen, and some others all within a 5 min walking distance. McDonald's is also open 24hrs; next to the shopping mall, you can find a supermarket, a spatter of grocery shops, pharmacies and noodle shops. Carrefour is just a little bit further up the road and Walmart and Starbucks is about 10mins away by car.
The staff are all quite friendly, although not a single one of them can speak even a little bit of English. I was lucky I am quite conversant in Cantonese (the local dialect).
The rooms are quite big, enough to fit a double bed and another single bed with still space to run about. The shower was fantastic, the only gripe I had was the airconditioning. You couldn't set the temperature, you could only turn it on or off. Fortunately, the temperature was set at a decent temperature, 24 degrees I think it felt like.
Contrary to what it advertises on the website however, they do not serve breakfast at the hotel. However, with McDonald's close by, I had no trouble with that. Their laundry service is also pretty efficient. I washed a whole week's whole of shirts, shorts, socks and underwear, and it cost me about 60RMB, approximately USD $10. Bargain! My laundry came back clean and they even ironed my underwear!
The hotel was quite easy to get to from the Baiyun International Airport (Guangzhou). If you can communicate in Mandarin or Cantonese, you can have a private car come pick you up for 200RMB (USD $35) or if you feel kind of adventurous, can opt to take the interstate bus from the airport of Foshan, The 75 minute journey costs 35RMB (USD $5) per person. If you are travelling alone, best to stay awake and keep an eye on your luggage. From the bus station in Foshan, it will cost another 30RMB (USD $4.50) to get to the hotel. To prevent getting ripped off, always insist that the driver uses the meter and that you ask him to give you a rough estimate of the fare before jumping in.
The hotel does not organise local tours but Swisshotel Foshan (about 15 minutes away by taxi) does. The price range varies.
For those into the nightlife, Karma Club is situated next to Carrefour and there are also pubs and winebars scattered about in a one km radius around the hotel.
