Moon Bay Hotel

We were in Guangzhou for some family business and my wife found this restaurant at a good price. This is a very moderately priced hotel: about $70 a night which is a pretty good rate in a city like Guangzhou. As important is that it was conveniently located to the U.S. Embassy where we were going. In addition, it was clean, had a good view of the waterways, and not too far (walking distance) from shopping and eating (including a Starbucks). This is a difficult place to stay if you don't have an english speaker. Fortunately, my wife speaks Mandarin so it worked for us. The bathroom and shower are glassed in stalls right off sleeping area, making it inconvenient for adults with children to stay. The room had wifi but not very fast. For the price I would stay there again with just my wife on business, but would not stay there with more family.

This is not a hotel, or a serviced apartment block. It is basically rented rooms with a bed, shower and toilet and that is all. There are no other services. 1. Noise I stayed at the Q-City Hotel In December and again on my return transit in January. First visit was 9th floor at the rear of the hotel. My previous review was positive, clean, room and toilet/shower. My return visit was in a front-facing 5th floor room. I couldn't sleep due to the noise outside until 05:00. People shouting and making noise all night. Front-facing rooms at lower levels, are a bad choice. Staff allocate them to first time "room-renters" 2 Fake Self-Catering Kitchen The rooms are fitted with a fake self-catering kitchen. The are no plates, no pots, or no cutlery in the room, so the kitchen is just a facade and serves no purpose at all. People are attracted to Q-city due to lower costs, however, understand that you are only paying for a bed, toilet and shower, the self-catering kitchen is a con. If you don't need to use a kitchen, this is a tower block with rooms and no services. The block is owned by White Swan Hotel. I will look elsewhere.

We stayed in this hotel whilst attending the Canton Fair. I would not advise any English-speaking tourist to book into this establishment! The visit started off very badly, with the most unpleasant check-in procedure I have ever experienced - apart from the fact that the staff member could barely speak or understand ANY English (beyond "DEPOSIT!), she was extremely rude throughout the process (and the rest of our stay - despite the fact that I made an effort to greet and smile at her every time I saw her at reception. The room was small and basic, and fairly clean - apart from the carpet, and the cockroach which crawled down our wall on the last night!. Although we had prebooked and paid for breakfast every day (6 days) of our stay, we missed most mornings due to the quality of the food - quite a selection of Asian dishes and eggs, but everything we tried was cold. As for the advertised "Western restaurant"??
