Disappointing Review of Rosedale Hotel, Guangzhou||If you’re looking for the worst hotel experience in South China, look no further than Rosedale Hotel in Guangzhou. Honestly, this place deserves a medal for being the absolute worst, despite the plethora of terrible hotels in the city.||I booked a four-night stay for my customer and his wife from March 29 to April 2, and it was an absolute nightmare from the start. I contacted the hotel because I couldn’t find a king-size bed option online and requested one, only to be met with a cold, indifferent response. I even informed them about our early arrival at 10:30 AM, but they have a strict policy of not checking in guests before 2 PM, with zero flexibility or hospitality extended to overseas visitors.||Upon arrival, the front desk staff was unbelievably rude. I had the audacity to request an early check-in, but was flatly denied, even though the hotel was practically empty. My wife and my customer’s wife needed to use the restroom, but they were told they couldn’t because the coffee shop was closed. Instead, we were directed to McDonald’s next door—how classy!||When I asked for help with a Chinese translation for a taxi, the front desk staff was completely unhelpful, sending me back and forth like a ping-pong ball. Eventually, a creepy staff member begrudgingly agreed to show our spouses the room assigned to them after 2 PM, but then tried to charge us an extra 40 RMB for a king-size bed. Talk about adding insult to injury!||The atmosphere was uncomfortable, with staff glaring at the ladies as if they were a nuisance. When I confronted the staff about the restroom situation, I was met with an evil smile and ignored. Apparently, even though the room was paid for, we weren’t allowed to use the facilities until check-in. ||The hotel itself is dilapidated and rundown. The only redeeming quality is its location near the Changang metro station, but that’s hardly enough to save it. ||In short, this was the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. Rosedale Hotel, with its rude staff and terrible service, should be avoided by all foreigners like the plague. Consider...

There are plenty of other nearby restaurants that are just better.❌ The bathroom door was really hard to shut and there was something sharp stuck near the door of the bathroom.❌ The internet speed was not that great, depending on what kind of work you want to do, you are...
