Depends on how much you want to spend. The hotels are very nice but a bit pricey-originally we were going to stay there, but there is a tube station specifically for Chimelong and there is a free regular bus service which provides easy navigation to the zoo, water park and theme park (or you can just walk, since Chimelong Paradise is the closest to the tube station at about 5~ mins). The tube is very fast and there is a train every two minutes or so, and there are tickets you can get which last a few days. We lived in the centre of Guangzhou and it took us about 45 mins each way, which was fine for us, but if you want to be very convenient and nearby then go for the hotels. NB Yes there are clear signs to Chimelong from within the tube station
