2-Star Hotels in Shantou

Stepping into the room, I was immediately greeted by a breathtaking 180-degree sea view. The room was spotlessly clean and even came with a Marshall speaker. The owner was incredibly kind and upgraded my room, also recommending some fantastic local eateries and tourist spots. They even gave me a small gift upon check-out. Highly recommend!

Environment: Decent. Location: Super convenient for getting around. If you head straight out and slightly to the left, you can find Jide Sweet Soup and Chenchen Beef Skewers. A fifteen-minute walk to the right takes you to a food street with lots of great eats. I highly recommend Ruru Glutinous Rice, Pork Blood Soup, and a breakfast spot next to Lao Wu Sweet Soup—their Guozhi and Guotiao are delicious, and the braised intestines are amazing, as are their eggs. It was a lucky find! Cleanliness: Very clean! You're not allowed to eat or drink in the rooms, which shows the owner is serious about running a proper hostel. The slippers are washed and disinfected daily, and you have to change shoes when you enter, so it's spotless. I wanted to check out the rooftop on the fourth floor, but it was under renovation, so I'll save that for next time. The building itself is older, but overall it's clean and comfortable. By the way, taking the 105 bus to Nan'ao Island is easy, but I'd suggest getting to the stop the owner recommended early, or starting from the first stop, as seats can sometimes be hard to come by. All in all, a great place! Price: Very budget-friendly for solo travelers. Oh, and remember to bring your own toiletries; it would be nice if they provided them.

Absolutely perfect! The guesthouse has a fantastic location, making it convenient to get around. The rooms are beautifully decorated and clean, especially the balcony. The service is also excellent; they provide disposable towels, which are replenished daily, and the room is tidied up daily, even hanging up clothes that were left lying around. Although there's no elevator, the front desk helped carry my luggage upstairs upon check-in and brought it down upon check-out – the service was exceptional! Highly recommended, great value for money!

The location is excellent, right in the heart of the business district, very close to all the popular dining spots. It's also super convenient to grab a taxi to Little Park or the ferry. The owner was very thoughtful with preparations, even providing souvenirs and tea, which was a nice touch. Any issues in the room were addressed quickly. The highlight is definitely the incredible view. As soon as you enter the room, you're greeted by a huge window overlooking the river. Even on a cloudy day, the view is stunning. The curtains by both beds also open up to large floor-to-ceiling windows, which is a fantastic sight. And the hot water is perfectly fine! I had a very comfortable shower. I saw some comments saying the hot water wasn't enough, but you just need to wait about 15 minutes – basically the time it takes to dry your hair – and then you can enjoy a really good, long shower. We showered for over half an hour. Considering the price and location, it's an excellent choice.

The hotel's location is pretty good, within walking distance to the food street, and Shantou Small Park is also walkable. There are plenty of good eateries nearby. The cleanliness is acceptable, but there's room for improvement. It's quite convenient for dining out. I arrived at 11 AM, and since the room wasn't ready, I just left my luggage. When the room was available at 3 PM, the hotel staff thoughtfully brought my luggage up to my second-floor room. It's a decent stay, nothing spectacular but solid, and I'd recommend it.

Before traveling to Nan'ao Island, I chose this B&B after reading online reviews. Very satisfied after checking in. First of all, Boss Xiaolin is very enthusiastic and takes the initiative to introduce nearby bus routes, food, and tourist attractions. In addition to the standard quilt on the bed, I also asked to add a single quilt, and the boss readily agreed. The room is large and well equipped, and the bedding is great. You can see the sea when you stand in front of the window, and you can reach the beach in ten minutes' walk. The bus stop for entering the island is just downstairs, and the stop is called ”Tianyu Villa”. At the beginning of the lively Promenade. After entering the island, the bus passed by here first before heading to the town. Two stops away from the bustling visitor center. It is recommended for tourists visiting Nan'ao Island to stay here, you will not be disappointed.

There's free parking here, which is quite convenient. It's only a 5-minute taxi ride to the high-speed train station across the street, but walking might be difficult as there's no underpass and it's currently under renovation. The room was relatively clean, though the facilities are a bit old. Front desk staff member Xiao Lin had excellent service, and even gave me a free breakfast.

Exceptional Stay – Panorama Sea View Every staff member I encountered – from reception to housekeeping – went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Their friendliness, efficiency, and genuine hospitality really made me feel valued as a guest. They also help to receive my taobao delivery of parcels. Well down for all staff. They also specially provide our room upgrade for seaview to our special honeymoon couple. The hotel’s room & lobby cleanliness is well-maintained. My room felt fresh, tidy, and inviting, with thoughtful touches that showed the care and attention put into daily upkeep. The housekeeping team did an amazing job, and I truly appreciated their promptness and consistency throughout my stay. The location is also a major highlight – conveniently situated near key attractions located at seaside , dining options, yet peaceful enough for a restful night’s sleep. It made exploring the area effortless, and I could easily return to the hotel for a quick rest before heading out again. The amenities are well-equipped, thoughtfully designed to cater to both leisure and big group of families. From the helpful lounge areas to the private big room, and in-room conveniences, everything was in place to make my stay both enjoyable and productive. Overall, my experience here was nothing short of excellent. It’s rare to find a place that delivers consistently on all fronts – service, location, and amenities – but this hotel truly does. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team for their dedication and kindness. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area, and I look forward to returning in the future.

The service was good, and the room was nice, but the soundproofing was poor. At night, the guests in the next room were inconsiderate, talking loudly and disturbing my sleep. The hotel's surroundings were so-so, but parking was convenient in front of the hotel. Breakfast wasn't at the hotel; you had to walk about 50 meters to a roadside stall where you could get a bowl of local rice noodle rolls. Overall, everything else was satisfactory.

The hotel's location is super convenient, right near the Xinghuaqiao East bus stop. It's just a short walk after getting off the bus, making travel really easy. The room was quite spacious and comfortable to sleep in. Overall, it's decent and offers good value for money.
