5-Star Hotels in Guizhou, China

Wonderful stay at this minsu. Highly recommended, although there are some misses in their service. It would be excellent if they were more comprehensive in explaining to visitors about the events happening in the little village. Recommendations on the highlights of the village needed to be sought for but once you ask the right questions, they are very willing to share. Their service is also on point. Just need to send a WeChat message to their housekeeper and you’ll get an almost instant response. Awesome stay.

Upon check-in, I received an upgrade to a panoramic window room, offering stunning views of Jiaxiu Tower and Zhou Shen's large screen. When a minor issue with air conditioning noise arose, I was promptly moved and upgraded again to an executive-level room on the 52nd floor. The front desk staff's response to the problem was excellent; they were very proactive and resolved it swiftly, showcasing truly professional service. The housekeeping team was also incredibly attentive; noticing some clothes that needed drying, they brought a rack to my room and even helped me hang them. Dining service was equally impressive; the host provided a helpful overview of the food stations, making it easy to choose a comfortable spot and guiding me to some excellent specialty dishes. Lastly, I was really touched by the complimentary fridge magnet given by the front desk upon check-out. It's elegantly simple and far better quality than any souvenir I picked up at the local attractions!

I'm a local Guiyang native, and I booked this hotel specifically for a friend visiting from Chongqing. I've stayed at Sofitels in many places like Guangzhou, Tianjin, and Nanjing, but the Guiyang Sofitel truly stood out. First, upon check-in, the lobby immediately hit me with a high-end scent, completely different from the cheap, generic fragrances found in other hotels or malls. Sofitel genuinely excels in its choice of perfumes. Then, the front desk attendant's service was excellent—she efficiently and quickly processed my room card. The room itself was much better than the Kempinski's. Guiyang truly deserves these 'new-generation' luxury hotels; their hardware equipment is miles ahead of older brands like Kempinski. The location is also superb. Honestly, Guiyang isn't a huge city, but it's rare to find a hotel that's only two or three kilometers away from all the main attractions. Lanvin toiletries are standard at Sofitel, and I absolutely love them, both for their scent and brand prestige (or perhaps, both their image and substance). Now for the hotel's downsides. Firstly, the room was indeed a bit small, feeling a bit cramped compared to other Sofitels. Also, Guiyang's infrastructure isn't great; from a high vantage point, you mainly see old, dilapidated buildings. Of course, I understand this isn't the hotel's fault, as Guizhou has only recently begun to develop. However, my immediate impression wasn't the best. I think the main issue is that Guiyang doesn't need 'old money style' hotels. Despite being relatively new, Sofitel still feels somewhat old-fashioned in its elevators and room decor, lacking in design. It felt like a rather ordinary five-star hotel, not particularly surprising. I felt similarly uncomfortable with the Guiyang Kempinski at the same price point – its room equipment was too old, offering nothing but 'old money' vibes. I hope Sofitel doesn't become like that. I wish the hotel would put more effort into room renovations and small design details to give guests a more youthful, updated, and distinct experience. Overall, this stay was good, but not exceptionally surprising. I hope my next stay brings an even better experience.

The hotel just opened in the first half of the year, and the facilities are brand new and comprehensive. The rooms are spacious and have a hot spring bath, so it's recommended to bring a bathing bag in advance. The hotel is about one kilometer from the east gate of the Xiaoqikong Scenic Area, and a shuttle bus is available. If you're entering the area twice, you can walk directly from the hotel's back door to the Daqikong Ancient Bridge and then walk about 300 meters to the bus stop, which is much more convenient than entering from the east gate and then taking the bus. The hotel breakfast is quite generous, and the latte is excellent! For dining, there are many restaurants at the east gate of the scenic area. I recommend the Banji Thumb Beef Noodles! You can also dine in the hotel restaurant. I recommend the beef tendon brisket stew and the pine slab pork, which are guaranteed to be of good quality! The overall service was excellent, and the staff were very welcoming!

The hotel shares a building with Hampton by Hilton, quite discreet. The decor is very artistic, and the automatic door entrance feels mysterious. But compared to the hotel's design, I found the service even more impressive. I bought a package, and I think all three meals can be taken care of at the hotel, which is perfect for single business travelers who don't want to search for food. I had beef noodles, Changwang noodles, glutinous rice, Ciba with fried dough sticks, and Doumi hotpot. There's also a dedicated person to park and retrieve your car. If you're running late for breakfast, the concierge, a lovely lady, thoughtfully prepares coffee, bread, and fruit for you to take in the car. When checking out, I mentioned how delicious the hotel's mini apples were, and the same lady thoughtfully arranged for the restaurant to pack some for me to eat on the road. She even accompanied me to put my luggage in the car and bid me farewell. From now on, whenever I go to Guiyang, I'll only stay at Zhenpo Hotel.

The hotel boasts a great location, a gym, a pool, and even a pet-friendly restaurant, offering complete amenities. The front desk attendant who checked me in was incredibly sweet and welcoming. She handled the check-in efficiently and thoughtfully, proactively explaining the facilities and local attractions. Her thorough and attentive service made me feel very much at home. While some of the facilities are a bit dated, the excellent service truly makes up for it. I'd definitely stay here again if I have the chance.

We picked Wu Wei hotel after reading the positive reviews online and we’re so glad to have spent 2 nights here exploring XiJiang Miao Village. Hotel is super organised and butler xiao qi (管家小飞）contacted us the day before arrival to organise our stay. There’s two options for getting into the scenic area 1. Scenic bus which is covered by the entry ticket but takes 30-40 mins to get to the hotel via scenic route and you will need to line up/wait for other passengers. 2. We took the VIP route which is 50 rmb per person and takes us direct to the hotel (10 mins) which is located right next to the main viewing platform. 小七organised transportation from the main gate and picked us up/carried our suitcases (both on arrival and departure) He is just the sweetest! Hotel is new as it’s only built last year and is designed for the aesthetic eye. We booked the 270 degree room with a terrace and I highly recommend this option as it’s the only room in the hotel that has balcony views. It’s seriously an amazing sight and waking up to this every morning is incredible! Both breakfast and afternoon tea were also fabulous! Highly highly recommend - 5 stars all the way 🙂

The location is excellent, in the heart of the city; there are plenty of parking spaces, so driving is worry-free; the breakfast has a rich variety; I was worried that the equipment and facilities would be old, but the actual experience shows that the hotel has spent some effort on maintenance, and it is clean and comfortable; finally, let me talk about the service. The day of check-in happened to be a family member's birthday, and the young lady who checked me in was very attentive, and immediately sent blessings and small surprises. The glasses brother in the hotel's Chinese restaurant also gave me a very warm reception, which left a brilliant impression and memory for me and my family.

The front desk service was very considerate. When we checked in, they prepared a small welcome gift for us. Seeing that we brought our children with us, they also gave us a cartoon room card as a souvenir. The children were very happy and asked to come back next time. The room design was also very reasonable, the bedding was soft and comfortable, the bathroom facilities were very suitable for the needs, and the hygiene was also very clean. In short, the overall accommodation experience was very, very satisfactory [strong]

The room was great, and the service was excellent. The lady at the front desk even upgraded me to a suite. I came to Guiyang specifically to watch a movie at the Boundary Cinema. It was very comfortable staying there by myself. The location is superb, making it very convenient for getting around. I'll definitely come back next time.
