Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center Shenzhen|0.78km from city centre
Our whole family came from Hong Kong to celebrate our child's birthday. We pre-ordered a cake online and had it delivered to the hotel. We informed the concierge beforehand, and they were incredibly thoughtful, helping us receive it and carefully placing it in the fridge to keep it fresh, saving us a lot of hassle. The family room we booked exceeded our expectations; it was fully decorated with charming cartoon themes and even had a small tent, which our child excitedly played with the moment we walked in. The hotel lobby has claw machines, perfect for keeping the kids entertained. The concierge also proactively gave us detailed recommendations for kid-friendly attractions nearby. The room itself was spacious and bright with a great view from the window. The interior decoration was cozy and soothing. There was a variety of pillows on the bed, including neck support pillows and soft pillows, ensuring a very restful sleep after our long journey. The staff were all very kind and attentive, from helping store our cake to offering comprehensive advice on local activities. The room was clean and tidy, and the facilities were excellent. Overall, our birthday trip was very relaxing and comfortable.FromBRL 520

Cleanliness: Relatively good.
Breakfast: The congee (生滚粥) and noodles (线面) were delicious.
Overall, the hotel is pretty good. Check-in was quite slow; I had to wait half an hour after the official check-in time for the room to be cleaned and the key card to be issued.FromBRL 552

Room was a little musty and quite rundown. More than great enough for just sleeping. Bathtub was peeling, had mold in areas, and just could be.. cleaner.
Breakfast was great, lots of choices. Staff were also very helpful and kind. Nice gym, pool was very cold as the sun is blocked by the building ( though I guess its well shaded)

Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center Shenzhen|0.77km from city centre
I had a profound experience of a long-standing five-star hotel's pursuit and dedication to quality, and I highly recommend everyone to check it out if you get the chance. It's often said that a mountain doesn't need to be high to be famous if an immortal lives there; similarly, five-star hotels aren't just about endlessly competing on hardware and decor. Focusing on enhancing soft service skills is what truly attracts consumers, and I felt this deeply during my stay. From the efficient handling by Front Desk Manager Zhang Zhiying, to the warm concern of the duty manager, the female manager with the code 066FOLIYA on my checkout bill (didn't catch her name), the staff at the buffet restaurant, the reception at the business center, and the guidance from the housekeeping staff... many details confirmed my impression: the Shangri-La brand still strives for true five-star hotel standards, and I highly commend them.FromBRL 715

Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center Shenzhen|1.12km from city centre
Pros
- Both our rooms at level 10 were relatively close to each other facing the Wong Tee Plaza. It might be a way of the said front desk staff allocating these rooms to us to compensate for our unpleasant check in experience (see below). Spectacular views and we managed to spectate the night light show on Saturday without needing to go to the Civic Centre.
- Facilities are great including 24-hour well equipped gym and sauna (best of all hotels in China we experienced so far).
- Rooms are relatively new and fully equipped with necessities, has a dyson air dryer, Toto automatic toilet, automated curtains and a steamer to iron the clothes.
- Breakfast had a lot of varieties to offer (personally loved the oden and sushi section), good service too.
- Housekeeping was amazing. As I was leaving my room, Joy asked if we were interested in their laundry services and we declined as we do not have much laundry to do.
After the first day of housekeeping, she noticed we did simple laundry (1-2 pieces of undergarment) and offered us a complimentary mini laundry detergent. We appreciate her thoughtfulness despite the fact that we initially declined her services.
- Check out was relatively seamless, I believe it was the front office manager that managed our check out and explained the deposit refund procedures accordingly.
- Concierge was decent too as they suggested we are better off getting a Didi to transfer our move to our next destination, and helped us load our bags to the Didi.
Cons
The only downside experience was check in. We requested if it would be possible to have interconnecting rooms (all good if not, at least as close to each other as possible within the same floor). We were advised that given interconnecting rooms are not available for the same type of rooms:
1.The staff provided an offer (upgrade to one of the bigger rooms that has interconnecting room with free 3 days hotel breakfast for 2 out of 4 pax). The quote/offer was outside of our budget hence we declined the offer and we just accept our original booking via Trip.com with no interconnecting rooms.
2.After we declined, the staff informed us that she miscalculated the price (from RMB 31k down to RMB 20k) for the same offer. This is very odd/confusing to us especially with the price difference due to miscalculation, and she was trying to push this offer to us again which we declined. At this point, whatever price quoted to us of this offer lost its credibility and we proceeded to stick to our original booking.
3.The staff said that she will notify us via WeChat (she added us on WeChat) once the room is ready. Understood at that time it was before check in time (i.e. before 3pm) hence we decided to grab lunch and come back after the check in time.
It was past 3pm and we heard nothing from her upon returning to hotel and had to approach the front desk to ask for an update. The same staff managed to provide us key card for one of the rooms while the other room is still not ready (it was past 3:20pm at that time). She said that she will arrange one of her coworkers to deliver the keycards to us once that other room is ready. Around 3:50-4:20pm, we heard nothing (I walked past the other room and noted the housekeeping has finished cleaning up the room and left). I had to go to the front desk to request an update and eventually obtained the keycard.
I am not sure if the above stems from the individual's motivation or if this is part of the hotel's standard procedure to aggressively upsell (even if we already said no) or if the front desk is pressured to meet monthly KPIs, but that left us an unpleasant check in experience and obviously did not represent the check in hospitality standards of the hotel itself.
Aside from the check in, we loved everything hence we had to give 4 out of 5.FromBRL 1,196

Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center Shenzhen|1.09km from city centre
It's true that all hotels in Shenzhen, including the Four Seasons, are primarily business hotels, giving off a strong business vibe rather than a resort feel. The location is incredibly convenient, especially its proximity to Futian Station, making it super cost-effective for same-day return trips to Hong Kong for meetings. The service at the Four Seasons is, as expected, impeccable – appropriately warm and meticulous. Cleanliness is a given. There were only two minor discomforts: first, we were initially given a corner room, and my wife had nightmares staying there at night. When we asked to switch, they didn't clearly inform her that the new room would incur an upgrade fee. They quietly deducted it from my deposit, which felt a bit uncomfortable. They could have been upfront about it instead of doing it discreetly. BTW, the Zhuo Yue Xuan at the Four Seasons is genuinely delicious, but remember to ask for less white wine in the char siu.FromBRL 1,038

Regal Hotel is my top choice for accommodation when visiting Shenzhen. Its location perfectly caters to tourists' needs! It's right next to the Dongmen Old Street metro station, making it super convenient for night markets, trying out local food, and shopping. Plus, you can reach all the major attractions directly by subway. The rooms are very spacious, and the suite layout feels open and airy. The cleanliness is impeccable, and the mattress is just the right firmness, allowing for a good rest after a long day of travel. The hotel staff provide thoughtful and warm service, and the public areas are beautifully decorated with lush greenery, creating a great ambiance. The gym and lounge areas are well-equipped. Considering its location in the core business district of Luohu, the price is incredibly reasonable. It's a perfect choice for both convenience and comfort. If you're coming to Shenzhen, book this hotel without hesitation – you won't be disappointed!FromBRL 246

My overall experience at JW Marriott Hotel Shenzhen Bao'an was excellent, and I'd especially like to thank Guest Service Specialist Reina. The check-in process was efficient and smooth. Reina was professional and meticulous, proactively understanding my business travel needs. She thoughtfully arranged a quiet, high-floor room for me and patiently explained the hotel's office amenities, internet usage, and local business travel information. The room was clean and elegant, with complete office facilities, comfortable bedding, and good soundproofing, allowing for a restful night after a busy day. During my stay, I contacted Reina for some last-minute needs, and she responded quickly and handled everything appropriately, communicating with a warm and polite demeanor. Her service throughout truly showcased Marriott's professional standards. The hotel's location is excellent, making travel convenient, and the overall environment is grand and comfortable, suitable for both business meetings and short breaks.

Staying at this hotel is becoming a lovely tradition for me – this is my second visit. This time, I came with a friend and we booked a twin room on the sixth floor, which had a stunning sea view. Breakfast was included and served as a buffet, with a huge selection and everything was delicious. There’s both an indoor and outdoor pool, and every half hour a little shuttle bus takes guests to a private beach where you can swim.

We spent two exceptionally pleasant and comfortable nights at your hotel. The room was spacious and offered an excellent stay. We would like to highly commend the housekeeping staff; the room was immaculately clean, and they were incredibly attentive—not only providing us with extra bottled water but also neatly organizing our charging cables. This level of service deserves high recognition. Furthermore, equipping the room with an air purifier was a very thoughtful detail. The hotel is very well-maintained, and our room featured an open, bright layout with a pleasant partial sea view.
Regarding breakfast, we had noted other guests' positive feedback prior to our arrival, and the spread truly lived up to its reputation. There was a wide variety of selections, and as a vegetarian, I highly appreciated the extensive range of vegetarian options available. However, a minor point for improvement would be the temperature of the congee and oatmeal, which were only lukewarm. Additionally, the restaurant seemed a bit understaffed, resulting in a slower turnaround for clearing tables, as several tables remained uncleaned after guests departed. This is an area that might benefit from operational adjustments. Overall, we were highly satisfied with our experience and will certainly choose to stay with you again in the future. Thanks for the rose, appreciated.FromBRL 587

The decor and furnishings are pretty standard for a high-end hotel, and the service was warm and attentive; they addressed any needs promptly.

Longgang Center Shenzhen|26.6km from city centre
Castle hotel is a beautiful and well maintained environment. The facilities are perfect for families, with a play room, heated swimming pool, and outdoor playground. There is also a ”sand pit” for children, but it looks like an old unused sand trap from the golf course. Nevertheless, my son enjoyed digging in it. The room was a double floor with a mezzanine balcony inside and an outdoor balcony overlooking the scenic golf court. We booked a family room for children and were assigned the ”Spiderman” room, which wasn't my favorite decor, but my son enjoyed it. Some of the room facilities such as stickers and decor needed refreshing and was old and worn (i.e. spiderman wall stickers with tears, remote for downstairs t.v. didn't work great, rubber padding around t.v. was in need of refreshing, behind the screen in the upstairs hadn't been dusted in a long time). However, the majority of the room was attractive and comfortable. The rest of the hotel was elegant and felt upscale. There were some vegetarian choices in the ”a la carte” menu of the restaurant and the breakfast buffet was fantastic. We were unable to order room service from the phone app in English so we needed to order at the front desk. The staff were incredibly helpful, some spoke English, and everyone was courteous and helped us to have a great time. The executive lounge was open from 2:00 or 3:00 onwards and offered nice snacks. My son loved visiting there in the afternoons and loading up on snacks. Overall, a great experience and we will be back.FromBRL 546

Overseas Chinese Town Shenzhen|8.42km from city centre
This is an old five-star hotel. Overall, I'd give my stay a 7 out of 10.
Let's start with the pros: The location is incredibly convenient, right across from Window of the World and with a mall downstairs, perfect for entertaining kids. The breakfast buffet wasn't anything special, but it covered all the basics you'd expect from a five-star hotel. However, the jianbing guozi (savory Chinese crepe) station seemed to be unstaffed before 8 AM.
Now for the cons, and there are quite a few:
1. I called twice to request an early check-in, and the front desk staff sounded like an AI chatbot, giving me nothing but canned responses. Is it really that hard to just say 'yes' or 'no'? Their repetitive, unhelpful answers only made me more frustrated.
2. The parking garage only has mechanical spots, which are a real pain to use.
3. There's a severe lack of accessibility. There are three sets of stairs from the underground parking lot to the elevator lobby, completely disregarding the needs of guests with strollers, wheelchairs, or large luggage. On top of that, the exit of the elevator lobby on the first floor was blocked by tables from the self-service restaurant, which was a very poor experience.FromBRL 466

The location of the hotel is just perfect! 2 minutes of a walking distance to the Sea World. The room was clean. And the laundry service was available as well. Personally, I used the iron and the ironing board. But there were some disappointing facts about the shower cabin. The water pours and leaks out of the cabin which makes the floor so wet, so no towels can help, and I had to collect it with my slippers apparently. And there was shampoo in the shampoo and conditioner containers both which means I just washed my head twice. I’d recommend the hotel stuff mind these details.

The staff on the first floor were proactive in helping me with my luggage and took it to the elevator.
When checking in at the 31st-floor reception, Ryan greeted us warmly. I specifically sought him out, and he kindly assigned us a high-floor room on the 48th floor and even offered complimentary breakfast for the children! A big thumbs up for that! 👍
**Room**
The website stated 43 square meters, which felt about right, a standard size. The in-room tea was Twinings tea bags, both green and black tea. The fixtures, like the faucets and showerhead, seemed newer than those at the Hyatt in Dongguan. The hairdryer was a Lefein, with strong airflow, a big plus! The shower pressure was excellent, another thumbs up! 👍 The linens were standard, and housekeeping was very prompt; our room was already clean when we returned from breakfast. The twin beds were 1.2 meters wide; though small, they were firm and could be moved together. The only thing I didn't like was the quality of the toothbrushes; I recommend bringing your own if you're particular. The air conditioning was quite noisy.
**Food**
The dinner buffet was fantastic! The chef team spoke Cantonese, and the hot Cantonese dishes were on point, especially the black char siu – delicious! The stir-fried vegetables were all good, and the boiled beef in chili oil was excellent! You could also get clay pot garlic seafood made fresh on the spot; you pick your ingredients and hand them to the chef to prepare. Sashimi was readily available on platters for self-service without waiting. The grilled beef at the live station was incredibly tender; my child had three servings! There were also grilled squid and other meats, with a short wait of only three or four people. Desserts included Napoleon cake, cheesecake, and durian mille-feuille, all made fresh by the chefs. The individual serving was steamed lobster with glass noodles, and the meat was springy and very fresh! If I had to pick a fault, it would be the lack of freshly squeezed juice.
In comparison, breakfast was slightly disappointing. During the May Day holiday, if you arrived at the restaurant a bit late, you had to queue. Also, later on, the freshly squeezed juice dispenser was empty and not refilled. The noodle bar only offered minced meat and green beans as toppings, and there was no good chili sauce. The variety of Chinese hot dishes was limited. The highlight was the freshly made wontons; although they took a while to cook and there was a long queue, they were amazing when I finally got to eat them! The soup was incredibly flavorful! Breakfast was just about filling, but the quality was a bit lacking.
**Public Areas**
The lobby on the 31st floor offered beautiful sea and mountain views. The gym was outsourced but truly professional and spacious! There was even a 24-hour gym! The swimming pool was smaller than expected, with shallow water, and was an outdoor heated pool. Children's facilities were minimal, almost non-existent. There were parent-child activities, such as handicrafts, which we didn't participate in. After dinner, you could walk to the seaside boardwalk; though crowded and noisy, it was sufficient for a stroll. The hotel was a 10-minute walk from the entrance to Bitongdao on Wutong Mountain, making it convenient for hiking.
Staying at the Hyatt in Yantian during the holiday ensures good food and accommodation, allows for hiking, and offers easy access by car or metro to OCT (Overseas Chinese Town) or Dameisha/Xiaomeisha for an enjoyable trip!FromBRL 649

Excellent value, fantastic service, and a great location!
I had a very pleasant stay at the Sentosa Taoyuan Hotel. This hotel is a hidden gem – it feels like a luxury boutique property but at a very reasonable price. The value for money is outstanding.
The service truly made the difference. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. A special shout-out to the young lady at the front desk who checked me in; she kindly gave me a free upgrade to the ”Elegant Suite.” The suite was spacious and comfortable, complete with a kitchen and a very functional desk that made working remotely a breeze. She also went out of her way to help me print an important document, which I really appreciated.
The Wi-Fi was fast and stable, perfect for video calls. The location is another big plus – it's close to Shenzhen University, Taoyuan metro station, and the Bank of China. There are also plenty of great dining options nearby, including authentic Chinese restaurants and even a Burger King for a rare Western treat.
I will definitely choose this hotel again on my next trip to Shenzhen. Highly recommended!

最让我印象深刻的是服务。所有员工都非常友善和乐于助人。特别要感谢为我办理入住的那位前台小姐姐，她非常Nice，免费为我升级到了“雅致套房”。套房空间宽敞舒适，不仅配有厨房，还有一张很实用的办公桌，非常适合远程办公。她还非常热心地帮我打印了一份重要文件，真的非常感谢。
酒店的Wi-Fi速度很快也很稳定，用来开视频会议完全没有问题。地理位置也是一大优势，靠近深圳大学、桃园地铁站和中国银行。周边美食选择非常多，有很多地道的中餐厅，居然还有一家汉堡王，偶尔想吃西餐也很方便。
下次来深圳，我肯定还会选择住在这里！强烈推荐。FromBRL 333

Absolutely amazing! This is my sixth time staying at White House Guesthouse. It's right by the sea, so you get to experience the ocean view, breeze, and sound of waves up close. The beach is clean, quiet, and not crowded. In the morning, you can step right out to collect seashells, pebbles, and play in the sand. Back in your room, you can relax in bed listening to the waves as white noise. Whether you're here to take great photos by the sea or just for a pure vacation, even a week-long stay is incredibly comfortable and relaxing. They also have a restaurant with a varied menu, offering both Chinese and Western dishes, and the food is delicious. This time, my partner and I stayed for four days and three nights, and it was a truly thorough rest and relaxation. We enjoyed ourselves while also getting some great shots both inside and outside the room. There are plenty of great food options nearby too. The guesthouse manager is very thoughtful and provides a guide to local eateries, and you can even order delivery to the guesthouse. I'll definitely choose White House for my next vacation and rest! 👍FromBRL 286

The staff there, namely, Alice Chen, Celine Wu, Kiki and Eddie Liu were all very friendly and accommodating. Will definitely stay here again in the very near future.FromBRL 1,033

We had a good family stay at Shenzhen Marriott Hotel Golden Bay. The hotel has a beautiful seaside location, a pleasant resort atmosphere, nice views, and many family-friendly facilities. Our child especially enjoyed the children’s activities, the pet area, and the pools. The staff were generally polite and helpful, and overall the hotel feels like a good choice for a short family getaway near the sea.
However, there were two points that disappointed us.
First, we were surprised to find out only after arriving at the beach that swimming was not allowed at the beach area next to the hotel. The hotel explained that this is a public beach and the decision is made by the government, which we understand. But this important information should be communicated more clearly in advance — at check-in, in the room information, or near the beach entrance. There were no clear signs or explanation beforehand. Guests choosing a seaside resort naturally expect to understand whether swimming in the sea is actually possible. The alternative public beach we were directed to was deeper, much more crowded, and unfortunately had visible trash in the water, including plastic bags and bottles.
Second, one of the outdoor pools turned out to be a VIP pool. This was also not clearly explained before arrival or at check-in. We only found out after already going there with our child, which was a bit disappointing and awkward. This kind of information should be clearly shown on the hotel map, in the room, or explained by the front desk.
Overall, we still had a nice stay and enjoyed many parts of the hotel, but clearer communication about beach access, swimming rules, and pool access would make the experience much better for families. For us, this was a good stay, but not quite a perfect one.FromBRL 600

Yantian (Dameisha & Xiaomeisha) Shenzhen|26.99km from city centre
Our stay at the Intercontinental Dameisha was incredibly comfortable. The hotel is beautiful, and the surroundings are lovely. We were upgraded to an executive floor, which was wonderfully quiet and uncrowded. The breakfast spread was very generous, with a good variety of options. The juices and fruits were all fresh, and there was a wide selection of breads and desserts. They even had a 'hidden menu' for à la carte orders! The Intercontinental's private beach is stunning, with a long coastline. On a good day, it's perfect for photos, and best of all, it's not crowded, making it ideal for a vacation. I only wish we had stayed longer than two days; it was so peaceful. I absolutely loved it here and didn't want to leave. The service was also excellent, a perfect 10/10!FromBRL 1,095

Shenzhen Coastal City, Shenzhen Bay Control Point Shenzhen|12.47km from city centre
Choosing this hotel for my trip was a fantastic decision, absolutely no regrets! Sissy's service was incredibly attentive; she patiently answered all my questions. The room had great natural light and was spotlessly clean, and the toiletries were high-quality. The hotel's location is convenient for getting around, yet it's quiet and peaceful. My entire stay was comfortable and relaxing, with every service detail perfectly executed. I highly recommend it to everyone!FromBRL 506

Lo Wu Control Point, Lo Wu Railway Station Shenzhen|6.05km from city centre
The room boasts floor-to-ceiling windows, offering fantastic natural light. Outside, there are mountains, water, and idyllic countryside views (reportedly already Hong Kong territory) – a rare sight in Shenzhen's bustling urban center. The hotel has some history to it, giving it a charming sense of age: on the second and third floors, there's a collection of historical photos featuring various heads of state and cultural figures who once stayed here, reflecting the hotel's storied past and rich heritage. The staff provide excellent service, always greeting guests warmly and proactively offering help. Overall, it feels clean, comfortable, and safe. A new vegetarian restaurant just opened in the lobby with a 'buy one get one free' opening offer for 49 yuan. The food selection is diverse, economical, healthy, and a great solution for a quick bite. Also, I recommend checking out the background painting behind the panoramic elevators in the lobby; under the lights, it emanates deep and rich colors, reminiscent of敦煌 (Dunhuang) murals!FromBRL 235

Dongmen and Shuibei Shenzhen|6.11km from city centre
I'm very impressed. The location is right next to the Metro, and there's a mall to walk around and buy things under the Metro, under the hotel. The staff are lovely, polite, and they communicate well in Chinese and English, and they even helped us call a taxi. I'm very impressed. Most importantly, it's close to a famous coffee shop with excellent taste.FromBRL 269
