Guangzhou Taojin Hotel

Really good price for cigarettes and beer in the fridge at reception

There were cockroaches, I killed one and it stayed there for days. I don’t think the hotel owns a hoover because cigarette butts and crumbs under a mini cupboard, beds and anywhere you could really hide stuff like that, their idea of cleaning a room is just emptying bins and no one speaks English. The mattresses were so bad that towards the end of my trip I started to get really bad back and neck pain. The stench coming from the bathroom was unbearable, the sink looks like a sink but don’t let it deceive you, there’s no actual plumbing, if your lucky like me and unlike my friends you won’t have the water you just washed your hands with leaking on the floor. The hallway to the rooms smelt like a damp dog, honestly not worth it but I guess you get what you pay for. Oh and also you can’t flush tissue so you gotta put it all a bin chilling on the side and hope it doesn’t add to the horrible smell already coming out of the bathroom. The rooms look nothing like the pictures, I think most reviews that have been done for this hotel are pretty accurate.
