Guangzhou Yuwa Hotel

Perfectly nice hotel. Very clean and spacious room. Bed was rather firm, but plenty of pillows, plenty of water, plenty of towels and a nice bathtub/shower.

Guangzhou is, meh. Saw Shaimen Island, saw the tower, whooptie doo. Nearby beaches are better if you can get to them and stay for the weekend.

Convenient to a lot of shops and the apartment was clean. The cleaning lady to Room B802 was wonderful, we loved her.

One of the male staff at the onsite Japanese restaurant was really rude to my elderly mother, making her wait 40 minutes for a bowl of ramen while others who came later were served. She was alone and had to ask multiple times to get her food. The hotel offered as an apology a free bowl of ramen next time we dine there, and I did not think it was an adequate or sincere gesture so we turned it down. The dryer in our unit was also essentially useless. We had to dry our clothes the old fashioned way by putting them out in the balcony. Luckily it was sunny during our stay. The hotel dryers were not much better.

Breakfast was great with variety. Staff were very helpful and friendly despite the language barrier (most could not speak english). Location was great! The shuttle service to the fair was fantastic! The price would be okey looking at the normal rates but was high the amount we paid during Canton fair.

The rooms are clean, though the beds are hard and the bathroom drainage is a bit wanting with flooding after every shower.

The breakfast is good and very clean

Lack of communication with non Chinese speakers. Even when there was issues with the airport tax man
