The Pearl Hotel is located in the centre of Zhaoqing, with just a road separating the hotel from Starlake. It's decorated in the neo-classical style that is so widespread in Chinese hotel architecture. The rooms are large, clean and well appointed, with huge bathrooms and a big bathtub. Some english is spoken by the front office staff, so that you... More

The hotel leaves little to complain about. Rooms new, spacious and clean, staff spoke English and were accommodating. WiFi was free and available pretty much everywhere. The location is also pretty good, right at the bus stop for people coming in from Guangdong airport. As far as shopping and nightlife is concerned I didn't see much, but yet, I don't... More

Located in the very down town of zhaoqing this hotel is good enough ( i think the best is OYC but really expensiver ), so Starlake is brand new and rooms are large and very clean. Service is very good and quite fast when you need something. Lobby people can speak sufficent english , wish is quite unusual in zhaoqing....!... More

The hotel is coveniently located in the center part of Zhaoqing compared to the less convenient OYC Hotel which is has fastfood shops, restaurants, supermarkets, Walmart just around the corner. The hotel is also facing the Starlake with a clear view since there are no other highrise around. The rooms we had were upgraded with a larger bathroom than the... More

Stayed here for a night on a package tour. These are my observations: Recently refurbished the fit out and presentation of the lobby and guest rooms is excellent. Rooms were clean and tidy, with quality linen and furnishings. In room airconditioning was quiet and set at just the right level for a good night's rest. Generous size beds: I was... More

July 2011 was my first stay at the Pearl Starlake. Usually, I stay at a competing Hotel in Zhaoqing, the O.Y.C., which I have reviewed at TripAdvisor last year. My business associate prefers the Pearl Hotel because it is very close to his own home in Zhaoqing, which makes pick up and travel to our factory very easy. The hotel... More

I stayed here as part of a big group in town for a family reunion. The Pearl Hotel is a large establishment which really stands out given it's distinctive round phallic like design. The front desk service was a little haphazard, not helped by the fact that there so many of us. The staff do not speak English, so I... More

You have to keep things in perspective, ZQ is a small town. I mostly agree with the previous review. For instance my bed was rock hard as well, it reminded me of when I go camping and sleep on the ground. But Chinese people for the most part prefer a very firm mattress. I enjoyed the view on the lake,... More

The Star Lake Hotel is the posh looking hotel of Zhaoqing City. I am sure its the object of a lot of local pride being the largest building in a surprising little city that is really worth a visit to enjoy. How to get here: Zhaoqing is 2 hours westish of Guangzhou, Serviced by Train ( Note the Station is... More
