Kingdo Hotel — Hotel in Zhuhai

Based upon the other reviews of the Kingdo hotel Zhuhai, this was a disappointment. English was a problem checking in so most was conducted by cellphone translation. Important to me (and advertised as available) was a non-smoking room and I was given a fake non-smoking room, which means they remove the ashtrays from the room while you are checking in. There was a lot made of this being an aromatherapy hotel, but I saw (smelled) no evidence of this, except there was dried out potpourri near the elevators and in the bathrooms. The room was about average for a 3 star hotel with standard counter space, a computer, side chair, two free bottles of water and tea set (no coffee) . I was given the fruit plate, which was nice; it consisted of a banana and cherry tomatoes (which are fruit in China). The bed was hard and not particularly comfortable by western standards. The air conditioner is fixed at 25c (77F), though my room seemed to be a comfortable 72 most of the time. ||The bathroom was tiled, single sink, with glass shower. Instead of the normal array of Chinese paper bag amenities, there was just a toothbrush and shower cap and the other items were for sale in a package. You will get hot water, but it might take a while. There were bottles of shampoo/conditioner and body wash in the shower.||I could never get the Wi-Fi to work as it involved a password you were supposed to get from the television and I could not figure out how to access it…the sign-on page was extremely slow, so that may be an indicator of the overall speed. The TV (bad audio) had no English channels, but it did have Hong Kong Pearl, which, amusingly, the Chinese government blocks when they do not like the article (my blocking was when protesters in Hong Kong were arrested for criticizing the Chinese government).||Soundproofing was not great and there was loud music until about 11PM when I was there, and urban noise was always present.||My room included breakfast, which was nice; you can expect Chinese standards with very weak coffee.||The hotel is a few big blocks from the Macau border crossing/ferry terminal/train station. The L1 bus goes near the hotel and connects both...

First the rooms: Not generous but adequate if you don’t have loads of luggage. Otherwise you will need to skirt around your bags. Shower has a glass wall with blinds that can be lowered for privacy.||Beds are China style hard. Takes some getting used to if you’ve been using a Simmons. TV has only Chinese channels so download your entertainment before you arrive. Also download a vpn as some sites are blocked by the government. ||Breakfast is on the 9th floor - the elevator button identifies it as the French Teppanyaki Restaurant. Chinese menu emphasis - soupe noodles congee lots of different cooked veggies and salads. Also an egg station cereals yogurt and the like. Perfectly adequate and perhaps healthier than the western alternative of sausages bacon and syrup drenched waffles. ||English is barely spoken. Bring your google translator. But the staff try to help. ||I...

Came back for a 3 nights stay at Kindo Hotel. The area around the hotel has not changed much and the staff were as usual pleasant and willing to help guests. However the hotel has “ aged” and the management has made no conceited efforts to upgrade / renovate the property.This is clearly seen in the room furnishings as well as the carpets.Unless you are staying in their executive rooms which I understand had undergone minor renovation,the remainder of the rooms are “unacceptable “.Would not recommend you stay here unless you need close proximity to your areas...
