7 Days Inn Guangzhou Shangxiajiu Branch

7 day Inn is a chain of affordable hotels in Guangzhou. I felt my choice of staying in the shangxiajiu branch was excellent, as the closest next hotel was 3x more expensive. There's a small lane just opposite the hotel where locals shopped for their meat, vegetables, etc. Plenty of small restaurants, convenient shops, 7-11 and a 3 min walk to the Shangxiajiu pedestrian street. Hotel provides clean bath towels sealed in bags, giving you added confidence of cleanliness. No breakfast, but that's the last thing you worried about, as there are plenty of shops serving authentic Cantonese congee and noodles. From this location as base, I Di-Di my way to major attractions. I learnt that using the premium cars on the Di-Di app is only a few RMB extra, but the cars are smart and spacious. Room and bathroom is spacious and at SG$50+ per day, I felt it was very much worth it.
