Guangzhou The Royal Garden Hotel

Enjoyable stay

Stayed here for three nights, four days. Cost about 130 Euros. Room was fine, spacious, with a comfortable bed, well-aired, nice desk for my online work, and the toilet and shower were fine. Room was cleaned every day with water and clean towels always provided. Service good, friendly, and attentive. Location was ok - central location although still a bit of a walk to the city sights. The hotel has a few restaurants on-site - but unfortunately we didn't try any. Not the worst place to stay.....enjoyed my stay here.

Business trip

The hotel room was spacious but the furniture was old. The hotel needs renovation, the location was also not great, the lift was slow, breakfast for vegetarians was sad, they can improve upon that

Too old

The food is good all good thanks

Pleasant surprise

Visiting Canton Fair, we stayed in the studio-style rooms for a week, visiting local spots and Canton Tower. After days walking the large trade fair site, it was relaxing to return to foot massage and dinner in the open-air restaurant. The local menu was great but we didn't try the snake on the menu, maybe next time. We would definitely stay again

affordable and clean

the hotel was ok, had breakfast, very few people speak English there but I was able to communicate, no one speaks English outside the hotel, the area is medium to low income, but it was ok, where the hotel is, the city is big, the people courteous with tourists. you have to always be careful in the city, the hotel was old, needs some remodeling but is clean.

Evaluating quality in Chinese hotels is usually challenging, because they either are expensive upscale 5 stars or rundown 2 stars garbage, it's hard to find a good average 3 stars hotel. After the stay between 20 to 27 of October, during the Canton fair, I am confident to say that this is a 2.5-star hotel, the main problems are the cleanliness of the beds and the smell of cigarettes. The breakfast was ok to me but my family didn't like it, there was plenty of food but most of it was Chinese. The price of the breakfast itself was very expensive, so do not buy it separately. There was a shuttle bus to and from the fair, and a reception party that gave me water and snacks, that was nice. And plenty of toiletries in the bathroom my room. It is also located in a central region of the city, there was a subway entrance not very far away, and its surroundings are very dirty. I would recommend this hotel if you like to eat Chinese food, do not mind the state of the surroundings and find it at a cheap price, it's not bad, but I think you can find something better.

There may be other choices

The sink and toilet were clogged, the room's view was among old buildings, and the street market environment downstairs was messy. It was quite far from the subway station, about twenty minutes.

Not recommended

A lot of red-light business going on there. The management is apparently involved in it. If you want to sleep at night or on a business trip, really the wrong place. The environment is dirty. Room not cleaned, or cleaned with a dry toilet brush, the same as for the toilet. Never again. Hotel with brothel included.

Convenient

It takes approx. 15 minutes walk from Kecun Metro D Exit to the hotel. The advantage of the hotel: offers free shuttle bus from the hotel to Canton Fair and reverse. The breakfast is okay, but the seats are limited. There's a local market nearby the hotel and looks dirty all around.
