Huashi Hotel, Guangzhou

The hotel staff were helpful and always smiling. even though they speak and understand very little english, at least we're able to understand each other.

This hotel is near CIEF Bazhou Complex, but other than that you have to take a cab to go elsewhere. Airport is far, takes about 45-50mins from the hotel. Staffs hardly speak English and I really did not understand why they had to look somewhat pissed when we started talking to them in English. Check in also took quite long and there was a USD200 limit that you can exchange per day at the front desk. Overall, the room is clean and nicely decorated. There is a computer in the room where you can listen to music and watch movies for free. You will get complimentary fruits upon arrival too, so don't forget to claim that!

I booked this hotel because of its proximity to the University where my son was studying. On the night that we arrived, they could not give us the business room that we booked for because they were overbooked. The next day, we complained and were given a non smoking room that smelled like a smoking lounge. We decided to wait for the next available room. We finally got our business room only to discover a few hours later that the air conditioning in our room wasn't functioning. We called housekeeping and asked for them to check on the air conditioning. Nobody came. For the next 3 nights, we just had to bear the heat. The worst thing was losing a document. I put the document on the table thinking it would still be there when I get back. It was gone when I got back. I called up the concierge and the cleaning lady said there wasn't anything on the table. What's the point of arguing with them?

Huashi hotel is value for money. We stayed for 2 nights and rooms are clean and complete with amenities. I liked its location because it is near the Guangzhou Railway, the Southern Normal University and the nearby mall such as Tee Mall. Rooms are also equipped with internet connection and lobby has wifi connection.

THE HOTEL IS 20 MINUTES FROM PAZHOU BUT, VERY FAR FROM THE AIRPORT. THERE ARE NO RESTAURANTS OR SHOPS OUTSIDE AND YOU HAVE TO GET A TAXI TO GO ANYWHERE. ALTHOUGH IT IS CLOSE, WHEN RETURNING FROM PAZHOU IT TOOK US 40 MINUTES DUE TO THE BAD ROAD SYSTEM AND TRAFFIC AT THOSE ROADS.

This hotel was marvellous. The room was good. The location of the hotel is near the Pazhou fair.( 10 min by Taxi). I recommend this hotel for all businessman and all visitors. The price is a little high but the hotel is super. I will go to this hotel next time. Thanks for this hotel.
