This hotel is just a block from The Garden Hotel and the Taojin subway station, which is very convenient. The hotel, however, in no way compares to its grand neighbor. Our room had a window boarded up, but with gaps around where the caulk had not connected with the wall which allowed daylight into the bathroom. The other window did not close completely which let in a lot of road noise. The rooms were small, fairly dark, and somewhat dirty, even after daily cleanings. There is a free breakfast, but it is just rice congee, rolls, and boiled eggs. The rooms are air conditioned, and that worked well. The tv had one English station. The beds were harder than standard Chinese beds, and had no cushion over the box springs. Hotel staff speaks some limited English and is very pleasant and helpful. Free Wi-Fi is poor unless you get a hot spot from the front desk (100 RMB deposit - otherwise free), which then provides excellent Wi-Fi. Overall, though, the price was right for an otherwise expensive city like Guangzhou.
