Majestic Hotel in downtown Tianhe district, Guangzhou, presented a comfortable introduction to the hustle and bustle encountered in this amazing city. First time travellers to China, we arrived with limited expectations. Firstly the room itself was everything we needed including our priorities, internet connection, laundry service and a comfortable bed.
We stayed on the 29th floor and our daily breakfast was provided on the 36th floor. Here was an absolutely amazing view of the city. Buffet style offerings each morning with a huge selection of both Western and Chinese food, tempted our appetite resulting in over eating more than our stomachs could handle!! The staff seemed friendly enough, although, as predicted, many had limited English, so sometimes difficult to communicate. The room was kept beautifully clean for the three night stay.
As we started to explore the area, we found a wonderful night market, over the bridge across the road. We followed the crowd along this lane way where we discovered little restaurants, clothing stalls etc. There were no tourist there, just Chinese. Adjacent to the Majestic hotel was the more upmarket Plaza shopping centre. Convenience plus.
It was easy to get a taxi out the front of the hotel, although, again, the language barrier was sometimes a headache.
The Majestic hotel was a four star hotel so the cost for us worked out around $60 AUD per night. Every time I went up and down in the lifts I was amused how the Chinese have embraced technology, providing flat screen televisions both inside and outside the lifts and also in most taxis. In summary I would have to suggest the overall experience here at this hotel was pretty good and certainly would recommend it to others.
