Somerset Haizhu Centre Guangzhou – Free shuttle bus to and from the exhibition hall during the Canton Fair Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Somerset Haizhu Centre Guangzhou – Free shuttle bus to and from the exhibition hall during the Canton Fair, you immediately get that feeling of being in a place that actually gets business travelers. This four-star property sits right in the heart of Haizhu District, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better if you’re here for trade shows or just want easy access to Guangzhou‘s business hub. The lobby has this clean, modern vibe without trying too hard to impress — which I actually appreciate more than those over-the-top hotel entrances.

The Room Experience

My room was spacious in that way that makes you realize how cramped most hotel rooms actually are. Somerset specializes in serviced apartments, so you’re getting way more space than your typical hotel stay. The kitchen setup is genuinely useful — not just a mini-fridge and microwave situation, but actual cooking facilities if you want to grab groceries from the local markets. The bed was comfortable, and I mean properly comfortable, not just hotel-marketing comfortable. Large windows give you decent city views, though let’s be honest, you’re probably not here for the scenery.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s where this place really shines — the location is fantastic for getting things done. You’re close to the Pearl River, which gives you some nice walking options when you need a break from meetings or exhibitions. The Canton Fair shuttle service is obviously the big draw if you’re here during trade show season, but even without that, you’ve got solid public transport connections. Couples seem to love this area too, which makes sense because there are plenty of decent restaurants and cafes within walking distance.

Breakfast & Dining

The breakfast buffet leans heavily Asian, which works perfectly if you’re trying to ease into local flavors or just want something more substantial than continental fare. They do a solid congee, and the dim sum selection changes regularly — small touches that show they’re paying attention. There’s a restaurant on-site that’s actually worth eating at, not just something you settle for because you’re tired. The staff seems to understand that business travelers often have weird schedules, so they’re pretty flexible about dining times.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is how it handles the practical stuff without making a big deal about it. Parking is available on-site, which anyone who’s driven in Guangzhou will tell you is worth its weight in gold. The spa facilities are there when you need to unwind after long days, but they’re not pushing wellness packages on you. The whole operation feels like it’s designed by people who actually travel for business — everything works the way you’d want it to, without unnecessary complications. Recent guests consistently rate the location highly, and after staying here, I totally get why.

Early hotels booking in Guangzhou secures opera nights, Pearl River dinner cruises, and private dim sum classes.

  Great location

• Philip from Singapore (8/10)

  The room was very well maintained by the house keeper, Ms Zhang Ge Fang. She even hand-written a note daily to wish us a good day and should we have any requirements for the room to contact house keeping. This was extraordinary and Ms Zhang should be highly commended for going the extra mile of her service.
