Fuhao Hotel Guangzhou

I booked an eighth floor room, three rooms, all double. Once inside, it was clear that the tests were all transparent and right next to the bed, that they were family and friends not couples, and completely private. Second, his bed was no different from a sleeping plank, just the board and a little fabric gone. Hands can be rubbed directly onto the board. Third, one of the rooms, once inside seriously stinks (shit smell)! The front desk was later asked to change. Nice reception 👍

The reception is just messy and dirty. The staff manning the check in counter are terrible. Very bad attitude and not helpful at all. It was a terrible experience. The room was really bad. There was no hot water in the shower and it had to be fixed with lots of hammering. Why wasnt this checked out before we came in? The shower area has this bad leak and we had to use towels to arrest the problem. The room is old and water stain marks on the ceiling and all over the place. The air condition spewed out clumps of dust each time you turn it on. The only saving grace is the location is convenient and there are facilities around.

The hotel is more than a little run down and shows its age. In the hallway to my room, it looks like multiple people have vomited bleach over the last three decades that cannot be cleaned. My carpet was dirty to the point I had to wear shoes. The next day I asked the front desk to clean the carpet, and they did. But I have never had to ask for a carpet clean before. My window didn't really shut, but it is OK because the climate is not forgivable. There was a wire mesh over the window so no one could break in... but it was ugly. The wire mesh's ugliness is matched only by the AC unit directly blocking the window on the outside. The lack of view may have been a blessing as the tiny window looked out onto over walls. There was nothing to see. The upkeep was shabby, and everything looked run down. I did not feel safe. If there had been a safe in my room, I wouldn't have used it. Breakfast was a disappointment on a plate. I wrongly went to the bight and lively Level 2 restaurant, before learning I needed to go to level 2. There, a tired and sullen spread awaited. I love Chinese breakfast but didn't eat there after day 1. The front desk staff were friendly enough and helped me book a taxi to the airport. However, 250 RMB for a 30-minute taxi ride is too high for China, so I suspect they were fleecing me a little. On the upside, the hotel is within walking distance from the lively Beijing Road, so great shopping and food are nearby. Being a few minutes walk from a subway stop is also a plus, so I could easily get around Guangzhou. The 7-11 shop downstairs means cheap snacks and drinks are easily available, which was nice. The wi-fi worked pretty well, which was a nice surprise All in all, I look forward to never returning there again.
