Guangzhou Grand View WangHao Golden Palace Apartment

We received a quick and pleasant check in for a one night stop over before our transfer back home. The building is right next to the shopping mall and metro station direct to the airport. The appartment was clean and tidy with cooker, hob, fridge, kettle, free water and toiletries. The bed was extremely comfy and made for a very pleasant stay before our flight home the next day.

Our group of 11 persons took a 4-day business trip to Guangzhou, and occupied 5 rooms at Guangzhou Grand View Golden Palace Apartment. The rooms were ready before our 6 AM check in. We actually paid for the rooms a day earlier to ensure room availability. The room is big, with a loft where the bed is located. The bed is quite hard. The room can accommodate 4 persons- 2 persons sharing the queen bed at the loft, which has its own toilet and shower area, and the other 2 guests can be accommodated at the first floor where pull-out sofa and a roll away bed can be placed. There is a toilet at that level but no shower area. It has a big refrigerator, kitchen, coffee/tea making facility, and washing machine. The free internet connection is also good. Elderly persons may not be able to conveniently access the loft as marble stairs are narrow, and there are no hand rails. For short, it is not PWD-friendly. We were not able to use the facilities though as we can't understand the Chinese words. We could not even access TV channels. It is quite inconvenient to be going up and down the stairs to open doors for my children visiting our room. Room maid is quite prompt in making up the room. Initially, the bath towel had hair and I had it replaced. The room price is really reasonable. The Front desk staff do not speak English but we managed to understand each other using our electronic "language translator". I will consider that apartment again in our future business trip as it offers an excellent location. There are big malls surrounding the apartment, supermarket (Aeon) at Teemall across it. There are good restaurant choices too within the building and a Starbucks at the ground floor where we can conveniently meet and have breakfast.

The space is huge, for the price. it comes with kitchen and living room which is truly amazing. Bedroom is on the loft space. The design is not bad but it is poorly maintained. The wall-paper is coming off, the walls are dirty and design to be in better condition. Lighting is poor, as some warm and some cool. The living room's sofa didnt feel clean. Generally, the kitchen and living room space is ok. The bedroom feels a bit down, as the bed is really hard. and felt like it is just a space with mattress, instead of a decently done up space - makes me feel that the room doesnt feel clean overall. The phone is also missing from the room, for this particular room which i stayed in. The wifi was not working and had to walk to the reception counter down a few floors. The receptionist, instead of trying to attend to their wifi issue, asked me how can it be?! a bit defensive. Probably a good stay, if you are not alone, otherwise, you may feel a bit creeped out because of the torn wall paper... and inconsistent colour lighting..
