“Adequate but far from town”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2011

My family stayed overnight at this hotel on our way to the Danxia Mountains. We were brought here by the tour group we were with. The hotel claims its a 5-star but a Chinese 5-star is really the equivalent of an international 4-star. The rooms were large and comfortable but definitely falls short of 5 star due to its relatively simplistic decor and furnishings.The best thing was the separate cubicle for the shower and bathtub, which could be seen through the glass window from the bedroom. However a there is a blind for blocking the view. The central heating worked perfectly and it was definitely needed in the cold winter nights. Breakfast was fantastic as the hotel provided a variety of Western and Chinese dishes. I did not use any of the other amenities as we were there overnight.

I think the biggest drawback of the hotel must be its location in the middle of nowhere and about 45 minutes from Qingyuan through some back country roads. There are absolutely no shops or restaurants nearby and you are essentially trapped at the hotel. Certainly not recommended as a holiday destination.

“What a SCAM! Misleading information regarding Airport proximity.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2009
1
person found this review helpful

This hotel is a total FRAUD misleading travelers as a hotel "convenientely situated NEXT TO Guangzhou-Qingyuan Expressway and the New Baiyun International Airport."

In the English language ... "NEXT TO" is really close, it is adjacent, nearby and people assume it is 5 to 10 minutes away. In terms of miles NEXT TO is maximum 5 miles. Never anywhere in the world would any hotel promote itself as "NEXT TO" being 30, 40, 50 minutes away or 20 to 30 miles away. That is really far away.

This hotel is at best - at 2AM in the morning with no traffic - 30 minutes away and with typical Guangzhou traffic approximately 50 to 1 hour away.

What a SCAM. This is a total FRAUD for anyone who thinks that this hotel is an Airport hotel as they are promoting themselves.

“Bad Service & High Prices”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2008

We Booked this hotel for the Canton Fair - it was the only one our Travel Agent could find - It was supposed to be 4 Stars - I would rate it more like -4 Stars. The room was dirty - the toilet was clogged when we checked in. They said they had no other rooms and that they would clean the room the next day and that we could use the bathroom in the lobby - after 45 minutes of arguing they did give us another room. In the new room there were condom wrappers in the drawer. The beds were like concrete blocks and there was no hot water at all during our stay - it was only luke warm late at night. This hotel is similar to prison accomodations. Housekeeping walked in on me and my wife 2 times and 2 prostitutes approachd me in the lobby. When we tried to check out and leave to go to a nice hotel - we were told that we would be charged for our full stay even if we left, and that they were not responsible about the prostitutes and that we could have an extra pillow for the bed. The Manager and staff were rude and agumentative. We were forced to stay, when we did check out the rate was almost twice what we were quoted and we were told if we didn't pay we would be arrested. We will dispute the charges on our credit card - I would rather sleep in a box by the road then stay in this hotel again. I would advise anyone to stay clear of this hotel.
