“Great value and three minutes from Guangdong University of ForeignStudies”

I spent four nights at the Poly Hotel for a conference at the Guangdong University of Foreign Studies. The room was big, fitting two double beds, arm chairs and a good sized writing table. The toilet is also clean and big with a long bath and shower in it. Although the condition of the room and carpet is somewhat dated, there is no smell or evidence of mould. The airconditioning kept the room at a comfortable modulated degree. Beds are made and the room cleaned everyday. I had a special rate through Agoda so feel it is good value at about US 50 per night inclusive of daily buffet breakfast. The location was a little difficult for the taxi to find from Baiyun International Airport to find. Taxi fare is about 70 RMB according to the metre; toll of 12 RMB has to be paid in addition to the metred fare. Better tell the taxi to take you to 'Guang Wai' which is the local name for the university. Poly Hotel is just next to the North Gate of 'Guang Wai' ('guang wai bei men' ) . There are several little eating places outside the hotel serving local Chinese fare. Opposite the hotel is a bakery called 'Emmeus' and other cafes serving western snacks and coffee (e.g.ground from Arabica beans). The hotel is a good 15 minute walk from the subway station and also on the bus route to Cong Hua hotsprings. I would stay there again if I had to be near Guangdong University of Foreign Studies. The only challenge I faced at the hotel is that their WIFI signal is at times intermittent, particularly at night. It takes some switching of wifi hotspots to get a good signal at times. Other than this issue, I would rate this hotel a really great place to stay!

“Decent hotel with English-speaking staff, 20 minutes' walk to the metro”

Medium-sized hotel, functioning partly as accommodation for students of the nearby university, mainly foreigners. Clean. Located 5 minutes' walk away from the West? gate of GDUFS university, 20 minutes' walk away from Jiangxia underground station (trains stop running around 23:30), a bit over an hour away from Guangzhou East Railway Station (walking + subway). Located in a relatively green district, not far from Bayun mountain. A few small stores remain open at night in the vicinity. The staff speak some English, and have agreed to keep some things I have left behind so that my friend could pick them up. Room cleaning daily upon request. You can give the Chinese breakfast a miss. Some floors are used by university students, others by guests. The guest room is fairly big, with a big bathroom including a shower cabin and a mini sauna (though I haven't checked whether it works). Has all the regular amenities containing a mini fridge, safebox, TV set, WiFi, electric kettle. No ceiling light in the room.

“Ihmisarvoiset huoneet tässä Cantonin alueella.”

Se sijaitsee Cantonin pohjoisosassa yliopiston vieressä. Poissa keskustasta ja metroasemalta, josta tulet bussilla tai taksilla. Naapurustossa on pieni kauppa (ruokakauppa, catering) opiskelijoiden takia. Hotellissa on suuri sisäänkäynti ja huoneet ovat tilavia, valoisia ja hyvin kalustettuja. Kylp… lisää

Se sijaitsee Cantonin pohjoisosassa yliopiston vieressä. Poissa keskustasta ja metroasemalta, josta tulet bussilla tai taksilla. Naapurustossa on pieni kauppa (ruokakauppa, catering) opiskelijoiden takia. Hotellissa on suuri sisäänkäynti ja huoneet ovat tilavia, valoisia ja hyvin kalustettuja. Kylpyhuoneet on kunnostettu. Sängyt ovat suuria. Puhtaus voisi olla parempi. Henkilökunta puhuu vain kiinalaista. Aamiainen on tarkoitettu yksinomaan kiinalaisille. Laaja valikoima kasvituotteita yksin. Ei kahvia.

“Ok Hotel, but No Night Market Around”

Our tour group stayed for 1 night here. Not bad. The lobby is rather dim and old, yet the room is spacious, tidy, clean, enough lighting. The bathroom is especially good, shower strong and the floor inside the shower cubicle is clean, unlike many other hotels where mould is common. Tooth brush,… lisää

Our tour group stayed for 1 night here. Not bad. The lobby is rather dim and old, yet the room is spacious, tidy, clean, enough lighting. The bathroom is especially good, shower strong and the floor inside the shower cubicle is clean, unlike many other hotels where mould is common. Tooth brush, paste and slippers were provided but I used my own to save the earth. The towels are very old and poor, you'd better bring your own. There is kettle. Free wifi works well. A bit disappointing for breakfast. It needs 15 mins' ride to the place with many night food stalls. Only a pizza restaurant in the opposite.
