1) Low range
In the lower range of accommodations, Riverside YHA may be the only true hostel in the entire enormous city. You can get a simple bed for 60 RMB or can get the basic twin room for 150 RMB and up. It’s located near the riverside, as its name suggests, and is close to popular Shamian Island. In other respects its location is far from ideal as it’s not too close to either downtown or the main train stations.
By the number of services they offer at Riverside YHA, you’d think it was a treat. Their lobby has a computer center, private lockers, micro-wave oven, refrigerator, 24-hour reception, travel information desk and wifi. Their private rooms all have TV, internet access, A/C and bathroom. The bathrooms do not have towels, toothpaste or the like. Their other amenities include a 20-RMB breakfast and hair dryer for rent. Altogether that’s pretty good for hostel level accommodations, and certainly more than you’d find at some others.

Getting there: take Metro Line 1, get off at Fancun station, B2 Exit. Facing the vehicle bridge, head left and after about 20 meters, turn left again. This is Luju Lu. Head down Luju Lu until the T crossing, turn right and the hotel will be on your right.
7 Days Inn is in the direction of being a hostel, though it lacks the dormitory rooms. Being a chain, there are 39 inns throughout Guangzhou, offering rooms between 137 and 268 RMB. They have no special travel or ticket office, but staff may be able to help you if you if you ask. They offer internet access, TV, A/C and private bathroom. The upside for you is that established chains usually don’t vary too much in their quality. The downside is that the services are pretty bare bones for most travelers. If you travel frequently and want a membership card here, you can get rooms for 8-15% off.
2) Middle range
A few minutes south of the Pearl River and a ten-minute walk from the metro, Guangzhou Rosedale Hotel and Suite is typical of a business-oriented hotel in the city. It has most of the positives you'd expect for its price range (440 - 790 RMB) but if you're here for other reasons than business you might find the neighborhood around it fairly uninteresting.
Rosedale's facilities include a conference room, business center, gymnasium and outdoor swimming pool, all of which charge for use. It also has two restaurants. Their business department can provide tour and ticket information, and though they don't have airport pickup, they will provide a free van during Canton Fair to take you to the different venues.

A similar hotel option is Lidu Hotel, which is well-known in the city in part because of its location on popular walking street Beijing Lu. Like Rosedale, it will provide you with many, but not all of the facilities you’d want for comfort and convenience. You’ll find a massage center and entertainment center here, as well as a café and a restaurant. Their ticketing center provides air, train and tour information and charges for reservations. They do not provide airport pickup except during Canton Fair.

3) High Range
Even before a metro stop was built in the neighborhood, the Garden Hotel area was one of the most popular in the city for dining and entertainment. The Garden Hotel itself is practically a city landmark now and a top accommodation for business travelers. Judging by what they offer their guests, their accommodations are extremely comprehensive, but judging from travel blogs, some high-class travelers occasionally meet with disappointment here. You can have an experience yourself for 610 – 1,975 RMB.
The large and luxurious lobby at Garden Hotel has eleven restaurants and bars including a wine bar and a tea bar. There is also a conference center large enough to accommodate one thousand people, ten different kinds of ballrooms and a business center suited to multiple needs. They have multimedia equipment, simultaneous interpretation equipment and audio-video. For your leisure you will find health and beauty spas, squash and tennis courts, and a gymnasium and pool. The gymnasium and pool are free for guests.
