It's quite close to the Guangzhou East train station but still needs about 15 to 20 mins walk because the station itself is quite big and take some time to just walk out of the station. The hotel is a 4 star rated by the official, it is a bit dated but maintained alright, the only thing i didn't like about the room is the carpet floor which is a bit dirty with stinks and marks here and there. Overall it suited well for our purpose as we are heading to CITIC Square next morning and it takes less than ten mins by walk from the hotel.
