"Overall, Quite Pleased"
Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Mar 23, 2009
Stayed at the White Swan for four nights while working a few trade shows in the region. The hotel was nice, though a little dated. The area, Shamian (sp?) island, was absolutely beautiful. Every afternoon, I walked the surrounding area and you would never know you were in a city of 12 million people. Inside the hotel, there are plenty of dining options. Once you got outside, there were even more.
