Guangzhou Xing Yi International Apartment Hotel – Vertical City Branch

Guangzhou Xing Yi International Apartment Hotel – Vertical City Branch Overview

First Impressions

When I first walked into Guangzhou Xing Yi International Apartment Hotel – Vertical City Branch, I’ll be honest — the name’s a bit of a mouthful, but the place itself is surprisingly straightforward. You’re basically staying in a proper apartment on the 43rd floor of this massive International Center building, which sounds intimidating but actually works out pretty well. The elevator ride up gives you a moment to appreciate just how high you’re going, and honestly, the views from up there are something else entirely.

Location & Getting Around

This three-star spot sits right on Jiangnan Avenue in the Haizhu district, and I mean right in the thick of things. What struck me most is how couples seem to absolutely love it here — they consistently rate the location around 9.1, and after spending a few days there, I get why. You’re close enough to the Pearl River that you can actually walk there in about ten minutes, plus there’s decent metro access nearby. The parking situation is sorted if you’re driving, which is honestly a relief in Guangzhou where finding a spot can be a nightmare.

The Apartment Experience

Here’s where things get interesting — you’re not getting a traditional hotel room, you’re getting an actual apartment setup. The kitchen is fully functional, which means you can actually cook if you want to (though with Guangzhou’s food scene, why would you?). The space feels more like staying at a friend’s place than a hotel, and there’s something refreshing about having that extra room to spread out. The furnishing is pretty standard but clean, and everything you need is there — no frills, but no complaints either.

Views and Atmosphere

Being on the 43rd floor has its perks, and the main one is obviously the view. During the day, you can see across the city pretty clearly, and at night — well, Guangzhou lights up in a way that makes you want to just sit by the window with a cup of tea. The building itself is busy with offices and other businesses, so there’s always this subtle energy around, but it never feels chaotic. You know what I mean? It’s like being part of the city’s rhythm without getting overwhelmed by it.

Why Guests Love It

The 8.8 rating makes sense once you’ve stayed there — it’s not trying to be fancy, but it delivers on what matters. The location consistently gets high marks (8.9 from recent guests), and I can see why couples particularly appreciate it. You’ve got privacy, space, and you’re positioned well for exploring both the traditional and modern sides of the city. It’s the kind of place where you feel settled rather than just passing through, which is exactly what some trips call for. Plus, the value is solid — you’re getting apartment-style space without apartment-hunting hassles.
