Hotels near new consulate visa facilities

[king]

Recently I received the following info on hotels near the Consulate's new visa processing facility. They are also near the Guangzhou East (railroad)Station.

 

There probably are other hotels fairly close. Note the price swing. The first three hotels are supposed to be 4 star hotels. The other two might be 3 stars but most likely no star. They are included to give an idea of prices.

For everyone coming to China from abroad, keep this in mind: PRICES ARE NEGOTIABLE ... even on "set" things like bus tickets or hotel rooms. Get a native speaker to call and make the reservation in their name, and watch the price drop like a rock! I have gotten up to 50% discounts, even on major holidays. If you call and say "Hi, my names Bob Smith and Im from America. Do yall speak English?" the price will DOUBLE.

Don't forget the Victory Hotel. It's nice, clean, moderately priced 4-star, and only a 5 min walk from the consulate.

[raineedaze]

Thanks for the info, I was beginning to wonder about the hotels..

[raineedaze]

Oh by the way, are these hotels near the consulate or near the new visa center that we will be using after mid August???

[HanLi]

This is great info, thanks

King.

 

As usual a very worthwhile post! Maybe you could add a little when you get a chance ---- how far off of the subway is the new Consulate office, (how close to the E. GZ rail station?)

 

Also, just curious, will you be moving your Immigaration Law practice office closer to the new Consulate building?

[king]

The high priced hotels are within a block or so of the new visa center. The 2 lower priced hotels are several blocks away, but within walking distance.

 

In my mind's eye, I would say the East Station ("dong zhan"), the last subway stop on the eastward train, is about 3 long blocks from the new visa center. Easy walk if you are not carrying the kitchen sink or it is not raining. The 3 better hotels are between the East Station and the new visa center. The whole district is called "Tian He." Lots of restaurants, lots of shopping, a computer city (the premium computer retail area in GZ) and the city'ws biggest sports complex with a stadium, a gym, tennis courts, workout place, bowling, football, basketball and a swimming pool; have I missed anything? The subway stop just before the East Station stop lets you off close to the spots complex and is not a really long walk to the visa center, maybe 10-15 minutes.

 

Yes, I will be moving over with the company I work for, to the same building where the new visa center will be located. We will be located on the 1st and 4th floors called Global Consulting. You all are welcome to stop by to say hello. Just ask for the US lawyer. No sales pitches from me.

Great info once again from the resident local. Before we head back I want to spend another weekend in GZ because we were so busy with the visa thing we didn't get to see much of the rich heritage. And it's so close to SZ. I will to take you up on the offer to drop by and say "Hi". You make great contributions to the site. Thanks.

Thanks for the help King. You can be sure that when we go bck for our next interview, I will be sure to stop in and say hello.

 

The other day, Ling was telling me that there is a hotel in the same building as the new consulate, and that the prices are really not that bad. True?????

[Jason+Joanna]

Thanks for the great info, I passed it along to the boss

[king]

My Chinese source says there is no hotel in the new visa center building. Above the 5th floor there are high-rise apartment units so it could look like a hotel I guess.
