Hotel so so. Nearby there are many massage palour which contribute to seedy environment.There are nothing within walking distance except a small shopping center, a cinema and many small shops selling snacks.

Cockroaches everywhere. Toilet seat not clean. Cookie found on the floor. Gym at basement is a dungeon with 1 dumbbell. Front desk doesn't speak English. Night club karaoke with ladies for call on level 3.

The Clayton Hotel is a Chinese hotel and they don't really cater for Western stayers. Reading some reviews from others past they had a real dig at the poor breakfast and lack of English speaking skills. Let me set things straight, there is plenty to choose from at breakfast and whilst predominantly Chinese there's a fair assortment of cereals, pastries, fruit, other other normal items. If you wish to be adventurous then try the Chinese food and enjoy the experience. |Probably the biggest issue is the English speaking skills and yes it's fair to say they really do struggle. But if you take your time and offer due respect to people trying to speak a foreign language then you'll sort things out, patience is the key. |The rooms are big and offer all items. |They offer a shuttle to the Canton Fair which we used but make sure you arrive at the right time because there's only 1 leaving per day, check with reception. If you miss that as I did you cant get a taxi to take you to the fair due to the short driving distance and traffic conditions and you'll have to walk. The walk is about 5kms so not too bad but you arrive a bit hot. Being from Australia we're used to the heat so we cope but I'm sure others would find it quite distressing, get the shuttle. There's an onsite pizza/pasta restaurant that's fabulous and it has an amazing assortment of beers from around the World, we tried to work our way through them all one evening. It's a relaxed enjoyable place.|At the end of the day it's a Chinese Hotel but blimey you could be in a whole lot worse as I have been so keep things in perspective and relax.

Barely a two star facility, certainly not a four star establishment. Although it was probably the largest of the rooms we had and the bed was nice and firm, that’s the best I can say about it. It was not clean, the linens were worn. Toilet and bathing in the bathroom, but vanity in the room. The neighborhood was not nice for evening walks. The breakfast was awful – in a dining room with carpet that should be burned because I doubt it could be cleaned!, and dirty/splattered/peeling wall paper. Leftover tape was on the walls where decorations had been. Although they had about 12 dishes on the buffet that should have been hot, they were all cold – no sterno and no warming below, although that was what was intended. The bread/rolls were stale, the only milk was soy, minimal fresh fruit. The next morning the breakfast was to move to a different room. We left before the breakfast time, but we did see them setting up the food. It might have offered hot food, but the room was not arranged for convenient serving – another negative. The desk staff was either good or marginal – depending on when you were there and with whom you talked. I asked for a map and was given one that was completely in Chinese. I found out later that an English map was available, although our guide later told us it was out of date. (How had is it to supply a good map for foreign visitors!) I do not recommend and won't be back.

Well i came to clayton hotel for the fact that it is close to the canton fair and they have a shuttle service. The room is spacious but nit as clean as you expect at a hotel, some dust and a bad smell in the rooms. The towels are worn out and even the color has turned dark. I'll take a few pictures now. The breakfast is very bad everything i ask for is considered a luxury eg. I wanted salt and pepper, (not available). Will not recommend to anyone at all.

I came for the Canton Fair and I picked this for the free shuttle to and from. Unfortunately, I didn't realise most hotels in the area will also offer this but don't heavily advertise this as it's not the only redeeming quality. The bed was the hardest I've ever encountered, the first night no one understood me so I didn't sleep. The wifi would not connect to my phone so I had to go out and buy a simcard to let my husband know I was safe. The second night the manager put a quilt on my mattress it was hard but the springs weren't digging into my back. He also connected my phone to the internet, unfortunately the connection was so poor I couldn't do my work. The breakfast was terrible, the only thing I could eat was the eggs which were overcooked and dripping in oil, watermelon and the juice. The coffee was like sludge. The pizza shop downstairs Ginstar was the only thing that saved me. The room was big, but it smelt and was really outdated. The final kick in the teeth was on checkout I was charged for using the soap. It was not complimentary I had no idea as there was nothing in English. I truly recommend you spend double the amount and stay at a 5 star western hotel unless you can tolerate these inconveniences.

We stayed for 3 nights.The rooms were very spacious and clean.The place is also quiet since its in a residential area . communication was such an issue due to the language barrier.Most of the staff cannot speak a English apart from the supervisors. The food wasn't good and was mostly Chinese. The hotel should serve an international cuisine since majority of the guests are from other countries. |
