Xing Lun Hotel

Only good for sleeping and nothing else, the place wasn’t expected. It’s not only an hotel, it’s a mix of everything and the service check-in is a bit odd.

I was very disappointed in the security of this hotel. Firstly, when we came back to the hotel on the second day at ~6pm ish, we found our room door open with no one inside. Apparently, one of the cleaning ladies left our door open after they finished cleaning and it was like that for hours! I went downstairs to the lobby to talk to the the front desk and they went with us back to the room to see if we lost anything. Luckily we did not lose anything of value but this was a huge disappointment! Another incident happened when we were in the lobby. An prior guest had walked in and said that they forgot to return the spare key when they checked out. The receptionist then put that key down on the table and had walked off. This was shocking to me because 1. They didn't log who had requested for spare keys. They give only 1 key and then any additional was to be requested and they didn't log this at all 2. Each key was marked with the room # so it's the same key that prior guests and future guests will be using. If this is the case, they need to have better security!

Everything find

Convenient location is the only good thing about this place. Impossible to lock the doors (even the one in the bathroom). Stains, chipped furniture, god knows what happened to that wall… The place is relatively clean though. But I was quite annoyed that cleaning Ayi entering the room even with the sign “Do not disturb” hanging on the door knob. To avoid your guests’ disappointment please use the real photos of your rooms or make the rooms look like the photos. Never again.

Close to shops and a large variety of food such as many Chinese restaurants and small eateries plus many western food take away brands. McDonald's, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Subway and Taco Bell and more. So great location to stay as lots of convenient shops around you. Staff do their best to help with the aid of translator language apps. Rooms have everything you could need including washing machines. Service each day and 2 bottles of water. Only negative was the internet was not usable even with staff help it would not work in our rooms on 7th and 9th floor. Buy a Chinese phone sim to use internet is best choice. Would stay here again for its closeness to all key things including a few nearby massage shops if you have been walking all day at the Canton Fair. They also provide a free bus to and from canton fair if that is why you are staying here. Last point is excellent water pressure showering 😀
