Grand Oriental Hotel Dongguan

I’m glad to be able to report that since the attached brothel closed down, the hotel had to close and has subsequently been pulled down for redevelopment.

Hotel looks great from the outside, and even the lobby is impressive. But beginning with a slow and complicated check in, things go downhill fast. At least half the lights in the hallway are off, and there is a musty smell. My nonsmoking room smelled of smoke and carpet was so dirty and stained I didn't dare take off my socks. Stayed one night and couldn't get out fast enough. It's a huge hotel but saw very few people, so it seems others feel the same. Owners and management need to make big changes.

This is very good value for the money! The rooms are very spacious and overall the cleaning level is OK. It is located very nicely in the centre of Dalinshan with a lot of restaurants around. The staff is also very friendly.
