Skyline Plaza Hotel in Guangzhou

The hot and cold water in the bathroom were reversed. I tried the hot water tap for ages, but it only gave cold water. When I switched to the other side, it was hot sometimes, cold sometimes. During my shower, the hot water suddenly turned ice cold. Can you imagine the sheer desperation of someone with a head full of shampoo, ready to rinse, and then the water turns cold, and you can't even find the tap with foam all over your face? Absolutely ridiculous.

This hotel left a very negative impression on me. I would give it a -50 rating if I could.
Firstly, the hotel rooms are old and shabby. The floor is covered with a material that looks like it was peeled off the skin of an ancient human and then peed on. The beds are also in poor condition. There are centipedes in the room that are about 15 cm long, which adds to the unpleasant experience.
Secondly, the hotel charges a fee for parking, even though it is not owned by the hotel. They just put up cones and decided to collect them from their guests. This is not in line with the standards of a normal hotel.
Thirdly, the windows are dirty from the outside and no one cleans them so there is no light in the room. This creates additional inconvenience and makes the living conditions worse.
But the most unpleasant thing is that I was robbed both in the room and at the reception. About $130 was stolen in the room and they asked for a deposit at the reception. I was surprised, because during my three months in China, I changed about 30 hotels, and none of them asked for a deposit. But here, they told me that they only accepted cash. I didn't have 300 yuan in cash, so I paid 300 dollars.
In the morning, when I had to leave for Moscow at 7:00, I checked out at 3:00. I asked for my deposit back, but they told me that there was no deposit. I called a friend in China, and he called the police. The police officer came, talked to the hotel staff, and left. I went to the airport without any money.
This experience left me very disappointed and with a negative impression of the hotel. I would not recommend it to anyone.
