Hotel Review - Jinjiang Inn Hotel, Guangzhou

As arranged by our guide, we stayed for 3 nights at this hotel. quite a surprised. the room is very very spacey. 2 comfy beds. bedroom with shower and decent toilet and sink. and the most important thing, wifi is free around and inside the hotel. they provided TV with local channels  but we couldnt understand it at all.

The hotel also provided daily housekeeping except on our last day. Staff are friendly too and can speak english. Room is equipped with air cond. The hotel area and room were also clean. We also can kept our to be shipped goods in the store rented by the agent. This is the advantage of staying at this hotel. they can tolerate the noises of the wholesalers with lots of stuff in their lobby. Which is not acceptable at most of the hotel in guangzhou. Plus point for the agent - he speaks chinese fluently. really help us when shopping around at this area.

2 super single beds. super comfy and clean. 

Insert repellent, slippers and some emergency gadget.

Free wifi. password is place on the table. 

Quite decent kitchenete. with complimentary tea, new paper cups everyday and mineral waters.

The tv is next to the kitchenete. local channel only. couldn't understand at all

View from the hotel. glad we have the main road view. 

Very clean toilet. They replaced/added new toiletries like toothbrush, shaver etc every day.

The plus point for this hotel is the convenience, cleanliness of the bathroom and the toilet. For a muslim traveller, it is really crucial  to have a proper bathroom with all the proper water pipe. so, we were really happy and satisfied with this hotel. especially for my mom.

Bathing area with a plastic divider

No wardrobe locker, just a simple hooks to hang our clothes

The rate of the hotel as based on the agent is around rm200 p. night. but when we checked out the rate online, it is less than rm100. so, it is advisable to book yourselves via online, perhaps Agoda.

btw, this is a budget hotel. but the service and the infrastructure does not look like it is cheap and no star.

Verdict: Recommended.

Guangzhou, China in brief

Last year, 2013, i was so fortunate to visit 4 countries in 1 year. Starting with Singapore, then i went to Thailand and Cambodia, next was China and finish it with Singapore again. So, before i proceed with the details in China, here the itinerary in brief. This was the first time after so many2 years, i joined a travel agent for a trip.
