Nanyang Royal

To be honest I probably over did it staying at the hotel , everytime I go to Guangzhou I'd stay here!! The first 2 visits were exciting thinking wow Royal decoration, gold here gold there, all good !! Very catchy! But then on our last visit we experienced the worst, it's a big hotel , don't get me wrong nice and and all but I think it needs updating and more stuff to cope with all those rooms! At first I slept with my makeup on , after the canton fair I was so tired and couldn't be asked to remove it, next day when the cleaners came to clean they left a note about a dirty pillowcase , i was really shocked because my impression of it all was linen if dirty gets changed !! Next 2 days we saw a rat in the room hiding behind the big curtains ! Nightmare !! We called the reception they told us that someone will sort it out in the morning and that they were fully booked to move us ! Next day we were told they got rid of the rat while we were at the canton fair !! Guess what we see at night running across the room ? A rat!! That meant they didn't get rid of the rat all! Their excuse was our room is near the kitchen or something like that ! They offered us another room , and gave us a fruit bowl as a token of apology but the next room smelt so damp ! A mixture of dampness and cigarette! I could go on .., but let me leave it here..I'm not sure if this hotel is still operating but if so I hope they are making improvements because they have a potential , but until then I've told myself I will not go back there again !

I booked this hotel because it is listed as official partner hotel of the furniture fair, I called them up to make sure they provide shuttle bus to and from the fair, hence I booked a 3nights stay. However upon check in, they said there is no shuttle bus service, that was first disappointment. The hotel itself looks grand with gold ornaments all over wif that "palace" look. Well, some will love it, it is definitely unique, however just not my cup of tea. Breakfast was all Chinese menu, don't have spoon and fork, or knife and fork. And breakfast was served in a totally non ventilated room, so u will get that smell once u entered the room, that was second disappointment. I skipped all my breakfast for the next days. Practically there is no English speaking staff.

this hotel red and gold all over inside especially in gold, the beds and the door knobs and the chandeliers are in gold . their are many carved out like you would get in a palace, its beautiful artwork and décor. rooms very clean and spacious as well as the bathroom has powerful showers. the staff is very polite although there is bit of a problem with speaking English especially room service and restaurant staff, breakfast not good but generally we had eaten out of the hotel . lovely food else where. shopping mall not very far from the hotel, as well as a Mc Donald. There is park and kids playground area with games just across the road from the hotel. our stay was very nice apart from the breakfast .hotel is reasonably priced and very comfortable. the Parzhou exhibition cntre was quite close to hotel but shopping areas was a bit further away like markets etc. we noticed that this hotels also has lot of weddings and parties and conferences .
