I went on a business trip to Guangzhou in July, and the project was located in the Wanbo area of Panyu. My colleague sent me a list of hotels, and I picked out Merlinhod Hotel Guangzhouat a glance. The reason is simple: it is close to the Wanbo business district, has conference rooms, and the reviews say that the breakfast is good - it is a business trip, and the picture shows the word "stable".
The car turned onto Panyu Avenue, and the hotel's exterior was clean and tidy. The lobby was not grand but spacious. It only took four minutes for the front desk to check in. When the girl handed over her room card, she proactively said, "If you have any social events tonight, you can reserve a private room in the second floor restaurant." This sentence added to my heart - the biggest fear of a business hotel is finding a place to eat in a hurry.
The room is on the twelfth floor, and the first thing to do when pushing the door is still to test the network. The Wi Fi password is printed on the bedside card, and the connection is fast. I opened a Tencent Meeting with clear images and stable sound, and signed two contracts without any issues. The desk is located by the window, equipped with a desk lamp and two sockets. The laptop, phone, and power bank are all online without any pressure. For people who have to reply to dozens of emails a day, this feeling of 'not worrying' is too important.
The bed was unexpectedly comfortable. The mattress is just right in terms of softness and hardness, and there are two types of pillows to choose from: buckwheat and down. I chose the buckwheat pillow, which doesn't make my neck tired. At night, the air conditioning temperature remained stable, neither too hot nor too cold, and the alarm clock rang until 6:30. The curtains have a good shading effect, and when pulled tightly, the room becomes dark like late at night, which is a blessing for light sleeping business people.
The next day's breakfast is on the second floor, with a combination of self-service and ordering. I ordered a bowl of boiled Century egg lean meat Congee, a plate of rice noodles, and a cup of black coffee, and sat by the window and ate slowly. The Congee is really made of rice oil, and the noodles are thin and full of stuffing. It is not the kind of perfunctory goods that are prefabricated and heated. After finishing the meal, we went upstairs for a meeting. The conference room was on the third floor, equipped with projectors, whiteboards, and video equipment, more than enough to accommodate twelve people. Three clients came and the conversation went smoothly.
On the day I checked out, I had to catch an early flight. The front desk helped me call a car and even stuffed a bottle of mineral water and two small cookies into my hand, saying, 'On the way, it's a cushion.'. It's not something valuable, but the feeling of being remembered has eased the exhaustion of the entire business trip.
Of course, there are also shortcomings. The entrance sign of the parking lot was not prominent enough, so I took a small detour to find it; The gym equipment is limited, with only a few treadmills and a set of dumbbells, which is not enough for those who want to exercise strength; The room has moderate sound insulation, and the sound of the door closing next door can be faintly heard. But these are not considered serious flaws in a business hotel.
When I left, I turned around and glanced at the hotel sign. The sunlight was shining on the three words "Beautiful Hao". Having gone on business trips so many times, I increasingly feel that a good business hotel doesn't need to be too stunning. It should have a convenient location, stable internet, a good bed, a full breakfast, and someone to call a taxi for you when checking out - that's enough.
Merlinhod Hotel Guangzhou has accomplished all of these things. Next time I come to Panyu, I'll stay here.Show more
