Hengdong Business Hotel - Guangzhou

洗手间有类似下水道的异味

THE WORST HOTEL THAT EVER SEEN. Receptionist was playing computer games when we were waiting for the Room Key.

I was attending the fair. So the location was excellent, no more than 10 minutes. But this is not a business hotel. The wifi doesn't work all the time, only one person from the staff speak english and the worst , they shut your air conditioning every day to save power. Their is no gym and conditions overall are deteriorated. Expect a couple of roaches around. The bed is like the floor and the breakfast was the same everyday. The shuttle for the fair was always on time. Definitely I won't stay their again.

This is typical of 3* hotels in China, not really 3* but, hey, if you can look past the odd cockroach running around close to your over-hard bed, the place is generally functional, even with the odd good points (friendly cleaning/breakfast staff counteracting the rather surly reception staff, decent enough buffet breakfast for my liking too). Wi-Fi consistently good in reception area but, although good in my room the first few days, went bad later on. Unfortunately too far from the excellent MTR system but taxis aplenty on the main road outside.

My stay was comfortable and safe. This is significant keeping in mind that it was my firts trip to China and did not have any previous experience about the country. It is important to understand that this is a three stars hotel and your expectations should fit what you are paying for. Nevertheless, the service was excellent, the breakfast was excellent and abundant, and the staff was caring and professional.
