The room was well equipped, had a nice view. However,The pool wasn't heated as promised - the main reason I booked the hotel :(

For the first time in my travel memory (which covers many decades), I have nothing but good things to say about a hotel. Given that the building is only 5 years old, it should seem modern and attractive, but this still surprised at the quality of fit-and-finish and attention to the smallest details. It was incredible! From arrival at the check-in desk where everything was handled smoothly and satisfactorily, to departure, the entire staff was friendly, courteous, knowledgeable, and helpful. The room was, of course, a touch small by American standards, but completely adequate in every regard for a couple. Everything in the room worked as expected and amenities were far superior to all but, perhaps, much more expensive establishments. The mini-fridge was expected, of course, but what was not expected was the half-dozen free beverages such as a bottle of orange juice, soft drink, beer, juice, milk tea and more - all of which were name brands an not local knock-offs. The bed was typically firm, but not unacceptably so. The hot water was hot and plentiful, and the wi-fi was free. Given the quality of both service and infrastructure, I'm amazed that the price was so moderate. The business center and fitness center are well equipped, and there are two restaurants, but we did not dine there, so cannot comment about them. We'll make a point of patronizing them next month and report at that time. The location is great. The US Consulate, a couple of metro stations and dozens of dining and shopping venues are within a 10-minute walk, or less, from the hotel. However, if you arrive in Guangzhou by train and feel that you must take a taxi, it will cost about 16 Yuan, or USD $2.61. Hard to beat, right? I don't know the cost from the airport, but since there's a subway line to the airport, you can take either the train or a taxi. You're waiting for a negative, so here it is: the outside of the building, while quite clean and well maintained, is surprisingly understated and simply doesn't give the impression of the remarkable hotel inside - which probably added to our very pleasant surprise. Without hesitation, I highly recommend the Leeden for everyone, and I look forward to staying there again when my business takes me back to Guangzhou next month. Room Tip: There are 32 floors, and the higher to you , the better the views.

Booked 3 rooms for 2 nights in Leeden Hotel this month. Rooms are clean and besides the usual 2 bottles of mineral water, it also comes with complimentary mini bar. The items include 1 can each of beer, coke, coffee, coconut juice and bottled orange juice. If you need more bottled water, the hotel provides extras at the foyer. Bed is comfortable and sheets are clean. The free wifi is fast. The toilet and shower are clean with the usual shower gel, shampoo and body lotion plus toothbrush and comb. Location is good as it is a 5-minute walk to the Zhujiang New Town Subway Station

We stayed 5 nights in the Executive room at the Leeden Hotel and I must say I was impressed. Check in was easy and even though some couldn't understand English too well, they were always helpful. Recommend putting images of the items you want on your phone to show them (asking for a wine glass was a hard one for them to understand) or use a translator app. Room was clean and big. Free mini bar was a bonus. Restaurant was great for breakfast and room service meals were good for dinner. Water bottles were provided complimentary in your room and more in the foyer. 7 eleven downstairs is handy for supplies. We stayed here whilst attending the Canton Fair and they had free shuttle bus service to and from the event which was fantastic. Recommend the foot massage centre on 5th floor for a great massage. Negatives - the lifts can take forever and being on the 30th floor we would have to wait a while. Free wifi is great but very slow and limited. The fridge in the room wasn't very cold but the hotel will supply ice. That said we would definitely stay here again and recommend.

The location is nice, just near subway. Check-in/out very fast, staff also friendly and helpful. Room and clean and well-equipped. Wifi available. Overall a very good hotel.
