Home Inn Baiyun Road - Guangzhou

There are convenience stores less than 50 meters away, just below the hotel, and it's well connected for business trips. The rooms are spacious, the staff are warm and helpful, and we received very good service during canton fair. I had a great stay with no complaints. The language issue was on the night shift, where nobody knew English. In the daytime, only the interns spoke it.

A decent budget option, especially for someone travelling alone. I'd recommend it for solo travelers.

The location was handy, about a 12-minute walk from Tuyinda Square subway station, and they provide rides to and from the Canton Fair. The beds were comfortable, and towels were changed whenever the room was cleaned. But during my seven-day stay, the sheets weren't changed at all. The air conditioner was broken for five of those days, so I woke up drenched in sweat every morning. On two mornings, construction noise woke me. I could sometimes smell cigarette smoke from nearby rooms inside mine, too. Breakfast felt misleading. They give you a coupon, but the menu only has a few choices: four items with orange juice, or three items with a cup of coffee. The place sounded as if it had everything when I booked online, but my stay didn't match that.

The location made it easy to reach most sights, and the staff were friendly. Cleaning was good, and breakfast was acceptable. A good fit for a business trip.
