Xin Hua Hotel Guangzhou

This place was horrible. It is a very old building and quite run down which I usually don't mind but this place actually stunk like a sewer. The lobby even smelled worse the closer you got to the counter. We arrived early in the afternoon and the smell hit us as soon as we walked in. It was old and run down but the smell was more like fecies or a sewer and we could barely stand it. I stayed with the bags holding my nose whilst my 2 travel partners went with the staff to check the rooms. They came back down after not long and said the rooms were awful so we politely decided to leave. We jumped back on wotif.com and found a way better place for not much more a few kilometers away so we jumped on the app, cancelled the reservation and left. Later I found out that the staff at the stinky hotel reported us as a no show so they could deny our cancelation and we had to pay for hotel in full. I'm still fighting to get my refund but they are lying and stating that we never even showed up so to avoid a similar situation I would steer clear of this wreck of a hotel all together. Im not that fussy and we were only looking for somewhere to sleep so I am happy to accept something that's not fancy but this place was discusting.

Good,but reception lady

There was no power for a day and it was so hot didnt sleep. I had to climb 7 floors down creepy stairs and it was harder to climb up. The condition of the walls and curtains can improve a lot

thank you very much.

Good location
