"1. The hotel is new, and the rooms are spotless. The surrounding area is quiet, making for peaceful nights. 2. The location is convenient, not far from Mixc City and Longyan South Road. 3. The hotel staff are all excellent; every front desk employee has a great attitude. 4. Sometimes when I'm too lazy to go out at night, I order takeout. There are many delicious options nearby, and the hotel's robot delivery is very prompt. I've stayed at many Atour hotels in different cities, and overall, the restaurant staff here are the best! A special shout-out to the chef who cooks the rice noodles and wontons – they make delicious wontons and are very kind. The auntie in the restaurant is also great; she'll even help brew coffee."

Hampton by Hilton Shantou Railway Station ★★★★
"After visiting Nan'ao Island, I stayed at the Hampton by Hilton again. The same young man, Poli, checked me in. He not only saved my garden terrace room for me but also gave me a complimentary adult breakfast, which was amazing! It's super convenient that they offer luggage storage for guests heading to Nan'ao Island, especially if you have a lot of bags."

Sheraton Shantou Hotel ★★★★★
"This hotel exceeded my expectations. I was a bit hesitant to book after reading some reviews about outdated facilities. However, upon arrival, I found the hotel to possess the classic grandeur and elegance of an older five-star establishment. The room was clean, the front desk service was professional, and the location was fantastic – just a short walk to Longyan South Road Food Street. I was in a rush and didn't get a chance to take photos of the room, but the online pictures accurately reflect the actual room, which I really liked."

Vienna International Hotel (Shantou High-speed Railway Station East Plaza Branch) ★★★
"The hotel has a parking lot, which makes parking very convenient. The facilities are decent, and the service is excellent. It's very close to the highway, making it ideal for road trips, and also quite close to the high-speed rail station. I especially want to thank the male receptionist at the front desk. My child left a charging cable in the room, and he was very responsible. He checked, found it, contacted me immediately, and even helped send it to me via express delivery. I'm truly grateful to him."
