Huaqiao Holiday Hotel (Guiyang Huaguoyuan)

Huaqiao Holiday Hotel (Guiyang Huaguoyuan) is a two-star budget hotel in the Caifu Plaza building on Yan'an South Road, in the Huaguoyuan area of Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou Province. The hotel occupies part of a commercial tower rather than a standalone building, which is common for small Chinese budget hotels, and the surroundings include offices, shops and restaurants. Yan'an South Road is in the southern part of the central area, and the old town, with Jiaxiu Pavilion and the Nanming River, is a short taxi or bus ride away.

The hotel is a simple two-star property with a focus on affordability. Rooms are offered as Standard and Twin layouts and include Wi-Fi and air conditioning. The listing rates the hotel about 3.8 out of 5, and typical room rates are about CNY 130-200 (roughly $18-28) per night. This puts it among the cheaper options in the city, suiting backpackers, domestic travellers, small groups and anyone who mainly needs a clean, central bed while spending their days sightseeing.

No restaurant, pool or fitness centre is listed. Guests normally eat in the surrounding area, where the Caifu Plaza complex and nearby streets offer noodle shops, hotpot places, snack stalls and small restaurants selling Guizhou specialities such as sour fish soup, rice noodles, spicy tofu and glutinous rice cakes. Prices at these local eateries are low, and many are open late into the evening.

The service character is basic and practical, and staff are mainly used to domestic guests, so English may be limited and having the address written in Chinese is useful. Because the hotel sits inside a commercial building, finding the correct entrance can take a moment, and guests may wish to ask for directions on arrival. The property suits budget travellers who want a central location in Guiyang at a low price and who plan to use the city as a base for visits to waterfalls, karst landscapes and minority villages in other parts of Guizhou.
