I stay here for business and have stayed at the Regency also and the Meritus is the better hotel and the best in Shantou...It has everything you need, buffet food is ok, the rooms are clean although outdated, it even has a bar but it's a bit soulless...The Exec floor is OK but nothing like what you would get from...

This was a great find when we were trawling through the city late at night on a last-minute business trip. The walk-in rates are steep--they only had Executive Club rooms available for RMB1,100/night. Breakfast was included as was access to the executive club lounge. (Happy hour is from 5p-7p with some alcoholic drinks and snacks.) We did not check out... More

We stayed at Meritus Hotel in Shantou in mid Oct 2011 for 2 nights on a business trip. Booking was for a executive room, on the executive floor with lounge.

It was a treat to experience the market and tasting local breakfast snacks as the hotel restaurant is pricey with... More

Whether it is the steady flow of business travelers or just the fastidious overseas Chinese on their way back to the family village in Chiu Chow, this hotel has clearly been moulded into a nice place to stay. Six adults and two small children on a family reunion trip can start to be a logistical challenge. What we found at... More

This is my 2nd time on business in this hotel. To be honest I don't have any choice as the company I visit recommends I stay here because it is handy for them, but it is perfectly OK. The rooms are a bit 90s looking but big. The bathroom is very dark for shaving but the shower is good. Internet... More

Meritus Hotel Shantou is, by reputation, one of the better hotels around Shantou. We stayed here over a couple of days for work, and it proved to be a comfortable hotel. The main lobby is grand and imposing. Service was good and friendly, and check in was a breeze. English is spoken by some staff. Meritus' staff gain work experience... More
