Haitao Hotel Guangzhou — Hotel in Guangzhou City

Beds are hard as rocks not to mention the bed bugs. After one night here I was at the pharmacy getting tablets and creams. I have the scars still after four weeks. The room was nothing like the photos. Filthy stains on the carpets and the bathroom floor. Mould on the walls and wallpapaer peeling off.

Ensure that you carry a map of the place you will be visiting with information in English + Chinese, this makes it convenient to ask locals for addresses, information etc.|3.Learn basic international signage for it will help you in...

Literally! We had to change rooms, because our first room had a pungent smell, some kind of acidic smell impossible to bear. The second room was not any better, it smelled of urine. Even Chinese food smells better. Do not even attempt to open the window, it's sealed. It's damp, there's mold on the walls and even on the shower curtain. The wall to wall carpet has stains! Simply disguisting. Save yourself some headache, DO...
