Guangzhou Yuanlai Collection Homestay (Yongqingfang Lizhiwan Branch)

If you like authentic historical antique experience this will be totally satisfying. Real antique furnitures and floor tiles you think you have travelled back in time. Very friendly and helpful staff. Reasonable price and is a place you will not forget.

和朋友租了3間房。零晨1:30朋友的房間被其他住客在房外不斷嘗試按密碼入房。好驚吾知咩事。就聯絡我們。 我們WeChat 打電話搵管家處理，沒有人接聽。 我哋立刻趕回民宿。見到其他住客正從𨋢落樓。他們說宿舍管家沒有清晰指示他們㩒𨋢的方法。所以㩒錯𨋢去錯樓層。事情搞清楚，我哋就準備上房。 我們搭𨋢到二樓，剛好遇到自稱房東的男仕。我們便問他，為何有客人在民宿內擾攘了咁耐，你都沒有去處理。我哋將成件事一五一十話佢知。佢不斷就叫我地細聲啲，話民宿大樓是中空，好應聲，會影響到其他住客。全程佢只係強調吾會有其他住客有你哋房嘅密碼。佢哋無可能入到你哋房。 而我哋嘅問題係，嘅然你話民宿咁應聲，而頭先係有4個租客係樓上搵吾到自己房，其間不停講野，你都可以淨坐係度用手機，而吾去處理。雖然入吾到房，但零晨時份，訓緊教，無啦啦有人係房出面，不斷試㩒密碼，都會覺得好驚囉。最後佢都係帶我哋遊花園。我哋只好離開二樓，返回自己房間。😣😣

This homestay has got the nice transitional xiguan style for its room designs and decorative. The owner is very nice warm and welcoming. She helped me to check in and check out, even booked a taxi to the airport because there are issues with my payment options( I paid her back in cash). One of the best things is at level 5 root top. The root top garden layouts have brought back all of my childhood memories as I grew up in this city.

Had an amazing stay at this homestay, the owners are super nice and friendly. The boss saw that it was about to rain when I was heading out and offered me an umbrella, and the lady at the reception is very friendly and walked with me to the subway station and we had a great chat. The mattress is firm and they provide both soft and hard pillows for me to choose from. I can tell a lot of care went into running the place. The cafe/bar downstairs is lovely as well. Unfortunately both are affected by roadworks outside so the entrance is a bit hidden

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.
