IU Hotel Guangzhou Zhongshan University Binjiang East Road Metro Station

Terrible, I really regret not trusting the negative reviews – they were all true. There were bloodstains on the sheets, and even though the staff claimed it was rust, the color didn't match, and the shape of the 'bloodstains' was different from previous review photos, indicating this isn't an isolated incident. The replacement sheets were also torn. There were bugs in the room, and there was a used eyelid tape stuck next to the bathroom mirror, left by who knows which previous guest. There's absolutely no soundproofing; you can hear everything from outside the window and the hallway crystal clear. The shower door was installed incorrectly; the space is so small that it's hard to close the door once you're inside. The gap between the door and the wall is about the width of a water bottle – anyone slightly overweight might not even be able to squeeze in.

1. I had already requested a quiet room when booking, but they assigned me a room facing the street. The air conditioner's outdoor unit was so noisy I had to wear earplugs to sleep, and it was loud from morning till night. I don't know how the front desk defines 'quiet.' 2. The first room they gave me had what looked like blood under the mirror. There was also an extra step at the bathroom entrance compared to other rooms, which felt very eerie. I had to switch rooms before I felt comfortable staying. 3. The air conditioner remote couldn't control the up/down or left/right airflow; it only blew straight.

Booked a room for a night to prepare for an exam. The facilities were complete, and the environment was comfortable. It felt good to stay there, a great hotel, truly great, very, very good, excellent.

The environment was dirty and messy. The hotel is tucked away in an alley with an uneven road, which made it very inconvenient to drag luggage. Check-in at the front desk was very slow, and our room wasn't ready on time. The room was tiny, poorly soundproofed, and the Wi-Fi signal was intermittent. The air conditioning also took a long time to start up.

The hotel's location is good, and the service is decent. However, the floor above is a club, and we share an elevator, which means there are all sorts of people coming and going. Also, the hotel is incredibly damp, with a very strong musty smell. Staying here for too long would probably be bad for your health.

This hotel is very conveniently located near a subway station. The economy single room was clean and tidy, the overall environment was quiet, and all essential facilities were available. The staff provided excellent service, and it offers great value for money. It's a perfect choice for solo travelers.
