Best Qingyuan Hotels

"At the tail end of the summer vacation, we took our kids to Qingyuan Chimelong Forest Kingdom and chose to stay at Deer Castle Hotel. The resort is conveniently located not far from the highway exit, with clear signage. The roads, which appear to have been recently built, are wide and clean. As it was a weekend and the end of the holiday, there were quite a few guests checking in. The underground parking was full, so we had to park in an adjacent lot, which was a bit of a walk. This alternative parking area also seemed unfinished, with a gravel/stone surface rather than being properly paved – definitely something that could be improved. Due to the crowd, check-in involved a rather long wait, suggesting that efficiency and service could be enhanced. The hotel kindly offered a complimentary upgrade to a hot spring room. The main advantages were its larger size and the convenience of having a private hot spring tub right in the room. However, I felt it lacked some 'family-friendly' touches in terms of decor or patterns. But since our kids are older, they weren't too bothered by this. The hotel boasts a dedicated direct passage to the Forest Kingdom, allowing guests to enter 30 minutes earlier, which is quite convenient. However, due to the high occupancy rate, despite the numerous elevators, we often experienced long waits. Our package included a buffet dinner and access to the hot springs. The buffet offered a wide variety of dishes, and the restaurant itself was spacious. With ample time allocated, we could truly savor the food and relax! The hot spring area featured a large number and wide variety of pools, along with many water play facilities, which our children absolutely loved. The Forest Kingdom houses a significant number of animals. While some can be seen in other zoos, Qingyuan Chimelong truly stands out for the sheer quantity, with most animals appearing in large herds or groups. The variety of species was also quite impressive, far exceeding the online rumors of 'only Qingyuan chickens.' The steam train ride is definitely worth the wait; it lasts about 30 minutes and offers a fantastic opportunity for close encounters with various wild animals – truly great value for money! The 5 PM parade is also a must-see. It has a fantastic atmosphere with lots of interactive performers who effectively get everyone immersed in the joyful celebration, creating a wonderfully relaxed holiday vibe! In contrast, the so-called 'Great Animal Migration' felt a bit of a misnomer and somewhat underwhelming. It mostly consisted of flocks of birds flying back and forth and zebras moving around, which was a tad disappointing. The Forest Kingdom also has a large self-driving loop that is yet to open; I hope it will add even more excitement! Our butler, Zhiyin, was very responsive and professional in answering our questions, truly showcasing the hotel's attentive service! Overall, it was a very satisfying trip!"

"The view is very beautiful to look at, especially at night where the lights shine. The hotel has a swimming pool and gym which is really good when you want to have a workout. The service here is great and the people here at this hotel is very nice. Come here if you get a chance, too."

"We spent 3 nights with kids. Check-in: very smooth and easy. English speaking stuff Anna Zhang was very helpful and gave us an orientation tour. She also added our WeChat so we can contact for any issues. Thumbs up! Rooms: Large and balcony viewing the lake. We are two adults and 3 kids we needed 2 rooms with 2 beds each. Activities: Evening activities were fun. The hotels provides vouchers for some activities for free. Some need a fee which are quite expensive. Like boating on the lake or bicycle. Gym: well equipped for an hotel gym. Smith machine and up to 50 lbs dumbbells. Kids club and playground: All was good. Clean and we'll maintained. I didn't used the restaurants or had breakfast include so can't rate that. Overall good experience"

"This stay was fantastic! The room was clean and bright, the bedding was soft and comfortable, and every detail showed quality. The staff was warm and attentive, patiently answering all your questions from check-in to check-out. The breakfast was varied, with a good mix of Chinese and Western options, and the taste was excellent. The location is excellent, making travel convenient. Overall, the value for money is excellent. I highly recommend it and will stay here again!"

"Our stay at Atour was satisfactory in general. The room is spacious and generally clean. The hotel provided comfortable memory foam pillows, superior to regular hotel pillows, and a good, strong hairdryer. The service staff were friendly and helpful as well (A lady, 枚香, patiently helped us set up the fridge and introduced some attractions to us). Overall, there were no major issues, but as indoor smoking is allowed, the cigarette smoke from some guests create an unpleasant environment. Some other slight flaws were that there were mosquitoes in the hotel but thankfully, the rooms were generally clear of them. Also, the gym is a bit rundown but it’s still functional. Would recommend this place to friends and family as it was a comfortable stay and the hotel is conveniently located close to a large mall with a variety of shops and diverse food options!"

"This was my second stay at New World. I'm very grateful to New World's GRO Alison for all her help, from booking to check-in. Her responsiveness during my stay was excellent; I barely had to worry about anything, allowing me to fully immerse myself in and enjoy the hotel experience. As it was the tail end of the summer holiday, New World was indeed very popular with families. The hotel was quite busy during my three-day stay, which to some extent affected the overall experience. Both the hotel's breakfast and dinner buffets are highly recommended. They offer a good selection with a distinct local flavor. Alison also helped upgrade me to a suite upon check-in, which provided a much better experience. Being on a higher floor and surrounded by trees felt wonderful. Personally, I'd recommend the higher-floor rooms over the courtyard-facing ones for more quiet and privacy. New World's spa is definitely worth experiencing. The entire process and treatment were very comfortable and relaxing. Having stayed here twice, I personally feel New World is more suitable for younger guests. Its overall Japanese minimalist style, coupled with the hotel's layout and ambiance, makes for an excellent experience for young people."

"This stay experience was really great! The location of the hotel is very convenient, it is very convenient to go out to take a taxi and find food. The room was clean and tidy, the layout was warm and comfortable, the bedding was soft and skin-friendly, and I slept well as soon as I touched the pillow. The front desk bell attitude is particularly good, from check-in to check-out are very warm, there is a question and answer makes people feel very intimate. The price is super high, I will choose this one next time I come here, I highly recommend it to everyone ～"

"Noisy corridors with children screaming and dashing across in the later evenings. Staff at breakfast dining room has poor service attitude, loud thrashing of culinary during cleaning the tables. U won’t wanna look at their facial expressions. Location of the hotel is near the wholesale areas which is not any near the main shopping area."

"I ran nearly a thousand kilometers yesterday and was very tired. I chose a hotel close to the highway. I was really satisfied. I rarely leave reviews because I am afraid that the reviews are not good enough. My husband is also very satisfied. I will definitely stay here again. , the sanitary facilities are very good, quiet, the breakfast is small, complete, and delicious, especially the front desk service is excellent. I just got home and lost the earphones in the hotel. I called to chase them and they have already sent them to me. To be honest, Five-star rating, trustworthy!"

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room ( a family suite) was beautiful with a balcony overlooking the river. The staff were friendly and w7elcoming and couldn't do more to help us. We would highly recommend it."
