Huiyuan Hotel — Hotel in Guangzhou City

I've been using this hotel for years. It was recently renovated and sparkly clean. It's not a luxury hotel, so you don't get utilities like room service or bell boy to carry your luggage but considering the price, you can hardly beat this value. If you're on a long business trip and are looking for a decent hotel that won't cut deep into your pocket, come here.||||There's a restaurant by the left (when you're facing the hotel) about one or two minutes walk away, separated from the hotel by 1 or 2 buildings. It serves variety of hot and tasty Chinese foods at great prices, foods are mostly cooked within a few minutes after you order. Two more minutes of walk after this restaurant, there's a Currency Exchange Centre on the same side, but for best rate, walk 8minutes more. After the Police Station, there's a shop under the Canal where they give good rates. Mc Donald's, more restaurants and grocery stores are directly opposite the hotel, across the street. ||||Wifi is free and fast but can be slow atimes.

I always subscribe to international data roaming when I travel, especially in China since I don't understand the language. There is no taxi service in the hotel, I need to hail taxis outside the hotel, which is easy.||||The receptionist didn't get my booking from my travel agent but it could be resolved soon. I also got a bad room in the beginning, but after asking politely then I got a better room. Just be gentle and polite, then your life will be much easier in China. There were two friendly receptionists whom I like, others were average service. But I found no...

Noisy people in the corridors chatting and packing goods into boxes for export. All this up to 2am in the morning. Also beware of bed bugs, kept me up all night. No sleep what so ever.||Very rude staff at reception, requested to change room but didn't seem to care.I would advise against staying at this hotel if you value your sleep. Also falsely advertised safety deposit box on...
