We loved this place, and I can't wait to return. The Paco is located in a quite pocket of center city that allows access to the subway and buses and taxis in less than a one minute walk. In all directions are great choices of historic sites, restaurants and shopping. The Paco staff was extremely professional, and they always had 2-3 persons around who spoke excellent English.
The executive suite room was very clean and comfortable, quiet and secure, with GREAT showers and bathrooms, extremely comfortable beds, big windows, in room fridge, etc. For the small difference of 48 Yuan ($8 USD) per night, the suites are a much better choice over the standard room. The included breakfast buffet is HUGE, with a nice choice between traditional Chinese and western, with Dim-Sum or bacon and eggs, with lots of sweets, cappuccino, etc. We left each day with plenty of fuel from the buffet
Lots of Europeans, Chinese, Japanese and others stayed at the Paco. The place is truly international and caters to professionals as well as tourists. The staff was great and took care of our every request.
I walked around and saw several of the other Guangzhou hotels that you will find on Expedia withing just a few blocks. I have to say the Paco is far nicer and in a much quieter place than many of the other 4 and 5 star choices, and the price is excellent. For the money, this place is so close to 5 star that I just won't bother to shop next trip. I'll just book here again.
