Mandarin Hotel, Guangzhou

The hotel rooms were spacious despite having nearly no furniture. Unfortunately, the Red Army marching outside the window was disruptive both late at night and early in the morning. The service, though lacking English proficiency, was professional. The location next to an army barracks wasn't what I expected, but it's convenient for visiting the canton fair. The dining experience was varied, though the Western options were disappointing. The hotel facilities were somewhat shabby but diverse.

The hotel is uniquely backed onto an impressive army barracks, providing a warm ambiance in the rooms. However, it's disappointing not to have a view facing away from the sewer. The staff, though proficient in service, struggled with English communication. The location, while close to transportation facilities, is overshadowed by the proximity to an army barracks and river with sewage-running rats. The dining experience, while diverse, fell short of expectations for a hotel of this standard. Overall, the hotel offers some unique aspects but has its drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were nice, although a bit over-priced. They had nearly no furniture, but were clean and neat. The service was very professional, despite some staff being more interested in their phones than helping guests. The location was good for business travelers, but not quite what I expected. The dining experience was below expectations, especially with cold coffee and food, even the western options. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory.

I stayed at this hotel during my visit to the Canton Fair, and I found it to be a decent choice overall. The rooms are hopelessly small with no drawers, but they are very clean. The staff at the hotel are excellent and English-speaking, providing good value for money. However, the location is not the best as it backed onto some sort of army barracks, leading to disturbance from the Red Army marching and chanting outside my window in the early morning.

The hotel offers spacious, clean rooms with everything in working order, though slightly overpriced. The service is friendly and efficient, with a slight distraction noted during check-in. The location, although near an Army barracks, is convenient for business travelers and those seeking a downtown proximity. The dining experience leaves something to be desired, especially in the quality of Western options. Overall, the facilities are satisfactory.

Despite the spacious and clean rooms, my stay was disappointing due to the outdated condition of the hotel. The service was lacking and non-cooperative, although the room service was efficient. The location, while close to some attractions, left much to be desired. The dining experience fell short of expectations, offering limited options. The facilities required maintenance for an optimal guest experience.

Staying at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious and clean but had a hint of dampness and a dark, dingy feel. The service was helpful, although language barriers could be challenging, especially in Guangzhou. The location was convenient for the Canton Trade Fair but being next to an Army barrack meant early morning drills could be disruptive. The dining options were limited and didn't meet expectations. However, being relatively close to Chimelong Park and the CBD added some convenience to the stay.

The hotel has a convenient location for business travelers and those visiting the Canton Fair, not far from Lenhexi metro. The rooms are old and in need of upgrading, especially the small and claustrophobic toilets, albeit a bit over-priced. The service may require some patience due to language difficulties, but the staff tries their best to assist. The dining options vary from poor to delicious, with some room for improvement. Overall, the location is good for specific purposes, but not ideal for leisure travelers looking for nearby attractions.

The hotel is big with a good location, free shuttle service for Canton Fair attendees, and excellent English-speaking staff.

My room was spacious and clean, everything worked well. However, the hotel's location backing onto some sort of army barracks resulted in disturbances from the Red Army marching and chanting, especially early in the morning. The rooms are old and in need of major upgrades, especially the small and claustrophobic toilets.
