怡景湾大酒店 — Hotel in Zhuhai

Knowing that the Chinese do not use tripAdvisor, thus my feedback would not be viewed by the hotel management. This is for fellow travellers.||The rating is saved by the awesome sea view with golden sandy beach from my room. The room is better than most cheap local hotel rooms but far from international standards.||The biggest eye sore is the stained carpeted room floor which is shouting at me “dirty”.||No international TV program, you have pay 24 RMB for watching a Hollywood movie, like renting a video.||Of course no access to Google, WhatsApp & FB in China.||Breakfast (BF) is supposed to be served from 6.30 am but when I arrived at 6.45 am, almost half of the BF is not ready. The Chefs behind the live cooking station have very bad attitude. Asked for omelette in Chinese , he said the sunny side eggs are all done on the plate in front of me. Meaning I take it or leave it? Asked for a soup noodle, the other Chef gave me a big bowl of lousy noodles, the worst I had in China in huge portion! Typical Chinese BF with lots of Carbo - tapioca, corn, rice, noodles, porridge, bun, bread. It’s for filling only, not for health.||The full BF is only ready after 7 am.||Hotel is recommended only for sea view. ||According to the reading materials in the room, there is a gym supposed to be in the 3rd floor but no way to be found except event halls. There is no iron & ironing board in the room but condoms are provided with a fee.||Go to the convenience store ( closes at 11 pm ) at the left hand of the hotel at the traffic junction to buy your stuff in...

If you are looking for a mid range hotel in this area for business, this might be the place for you. To have high expectations would be folly. This is my second visit to the hotel as I look forward to the scenery of the seafront from my room. The room is generally clean with basic amenities. The floor where I stayed although was non-smoking, smelt of nicotine throughout. I did not eat at the hotel restaurant this visit as I had found a better restaurant in the street next to the restaurant which serves delicious seafood and quick service. Breakfast at this hotel was adequate. The checkout services of this hotel is appalling. I had to wait for 20 minutes! There were only two members of staff at the front desk dealing too long with customers. A receptionist appeared from the room behind minutes later but ignored the mounting queue. I find this rather frustrating. |Overall, a reasonably priced hotel but don’t expect much, apart from waiting long enough...
