Urban Oasis: A Review of Guangzhou Xiyue Film & Television Homestay (Shabei Metro Station Branch)

Nestled between the hustle and bustle and tranquility of Guangzhou's Baiyun District, Guangzhou Xiyue Film & Television Homestay (Shabei Metro Station Branch) is an ideal short-term residence for urban travelers, thanks to its unique film and television theme design, convenient location, and thoughtful service. As a newly opened homestay in 2024, it not only stands out for its high cost-effectiveness, but also interprets the pursuit of quality in modern living with its attention to detail. Location: Convenience and Local Flavors Coexist The homestay is located in Phase II of Jinsha Metropolis, only 240m from Shabei Metro Station, a 3-minute walk away. Line 6 provides direct access to popular business districts and attractions such as Beijing Road and the Grand Buddha Temple, ensuring seamless travel. More importantly, the surrounding area is full of local life: downstairs is a riverside promenade for strolling, where fireworks can occasionally be seen at night; Shabei Market is within walking distance, offering local delicacies and convenient supermarkets. For travelers arriving by car, the homestay offers free underground parking, which can be easily accessed by communicating with the butler in advance, solving the pain point of parking in the city. Facilities and Services: New Decor and New Experience Opening the door to the homestay, the spacious 25–30 square meter space is dominated by a minimalist style, combined with projection equipment and a giant screen, creating an immersive private theater experience. The rooms are equipped with a fully automatic washing machine, refrigerator, and electric stove to meet the daily needs of short-term stays or even long-term rentals. The high-floor rooms (floors 5–32) offer open views, and some room types offer distant views of green mountains and river views, with natural scenery in full view in the morning. In terms of details, daily room cleaning, separate wet and dry bathroom design, and the butler's 24-hour rapid response (such as changing towels and solving heating needs) all reflect the meticulous service. Check-in Experience: A Mix of Authenticity and Surprise Many guests have repeatedly mentioned the surprise of "consistent with online photos" in their reviews, which is especially rare in the current homestay industry where "photo fraud" is rampant. The check-in process is efficient and convenient, supporting electronic ID processing, and the front desk service is warm and professional. Some guests have even become "regular customers" due to multiple stays. The open-air terrace in the common area provides convenience for drying clothes, while the soundproofed environment ensures a quiet night's sleep, perfectly balancing urban convenience and home comfort. Highlight Details: Added Value Beyond Expectations - Theme Design: The rooms are decorated with film and television elements and warm-colored lighting, creating an atmosphere that combines art and warmth. - Intelligent Experience: Some room types are equipped with smart home devices, such as voice-controlled lights and curtains, combining technology and user-friendliness. - Community Facilities: The downstairs business district covers dining and shopping, meeting life needs without having to travel far, especially suitable for families or business travelers. Suggestions for Improvement and Summary If we need to nitpick, guests need to arrange their own breakfast, but the rich selection of food around the homestay makes up for this shortcoming. In addition, some lower-floor rooms may be affected by street noise, so it is recommended to give priority to higher-floor rooms when booking. Overall, Guangzhou Xiyue Film & Television Homestay has proven its comprehensive advantages in hygiene, facilities, service, and location with a guest rating of 9.2 (higher than the average score of similar accommodations in Guangzhou). Whether you are a backpacker looking for cost-effectiveness or a business traveler who values convenience and quality, this can be a safe choice for your trip to Guangzhou. Conclusion: In today's homestay industry where the risk of "blind boxes" still exists, Xiyue Film & Television Homestay provides travelers with a reliable "what you see is what you get" experience with its authentic service and facilities. If you are looking for a place to stay that combines convenient transportation and lifestyle, this is worth adding to your list.
