Jianghe

I would not suggest this place for anybody who doesnt speak or understand chinese. because none of the Staff members speaks English, which was a setback for me. This place is very far from canton Far complex, around 40 Yuan Taxi fare. Although nicely built, There is no swimming pool in the Hotel, although you will see some picture showing that. Wifi is free !! No option for Veg food !!

This hotel claims four stars, maybe that was correct when it opened but not any more. The hotel is located on the lower floors of an office building and is not too easy to locate but the staff were pleasant and spoke some English. The lifts to the rooms can be a problem as there are 3 lifts serving all the offices on 28 floors so at times the wait is long. The room was large with a seating area separate from the sleeping area but the carpet was stained and the furniture tatty. Fortunately the bedding and towels were clean and in good condition. The bathroom was in a very poor state of decoration and the water was never hot. Breakfast was served at the Bistro 2 doors away that was a little small but very good. On the whole you can find better places at lower prices.

The room was full of the cigarette smell. We did not have a choice to pick a non- smoking room and the room service did not use any air freshener. We had to open the window to air out the room. The toilet was clogged constantly. We called the plumbing service many times. This hotel has a pool but was used for swimming classes for outside people. We were traveling with children but they displayed condoms at the rack right on the night stand so guests can use them and paid as they checked out. I have to hide those boxes of condoms under the bed so I did not have to do any explanation to my children of what they were.
