Located in Guangzhou, YuTong Hotel is in the city center. Beijing Road Pedestrian Street and Haizhu Wholesale Market are worth checking out if shopping is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's popular attractions can visit Chimelong Paradise and Chimelong Water Park. Southern China Botanical Garden and Grand World Scenic Park are also worth visiting.
Beware - the location of the hotel is NOT what is shown on the map - I was led to believe the hotel would be within the South China University campus but it was on the other side of the highway!
The claim of "non-smoking rooms" might as well be a lie - we specifically asked for (and was given) a room on a 'non-smoking' floor but every morning we would wake to the smell of tobacco smoke and cigarette butts were left all over the floor.
