Disappointing stay – not worth the price paid
I booked Mehood Hotel in Guangzhou expecting a comfortable experience, but unfortunately it fell short in several areas. The room rate I paid was not cheap, yet the overall stay did not match the value.
First, the bathroom amenities were a disappointment. Some reviews highlighted L’Occitane toiletries, but what I received was nowhere near that standard. This created a gap between expectation and reality.
Second, I specifically requested a quiet room away from the lift. However, I was assigned exactly the type of room I did not want. This shows a lack of attention to guest preferences, especially when such requests are made in advance.
Third, the smoke issue was unacceptable. There was heavy cigarette smell coming from the same floor, particularly at night. It affected the in-room air quality and comfort, and gave the impression that the hotel does not enforce non-smoking rules properly.
Lastly, the service level from the crew needs improvement. For the price and positioning of this hotel, I expected attentive and proactive service. Instead, I felt that staff response and professionalism were below standard.
Overall, I left with the impression that the stay was not worth the money paid. With more choices available in Guangzhou—especially around the same pricing—I would expect better room assignment, cleaner air environment, more accurate amenities, and higher service quality. I hope the hotel management will address these issues moving forward.
