- You can stay at the Sheraton or Crowne plaza if you want a reliable stay with a good western breakfast, but if you want something uniquely Chinese, go to this place. The Nanyang King's Gate Hotel mixes a 500 year span of different European architecture into one giant heap of gaudy goldness. Its incredibly gaudy and I kept gawking at the insane amounts of gold wallpaper, carved wood ceilings, and more and more gold leaf. I had a gigantic suite for about 1/4th the price of the Sheraton. This place is about 10 minutes to the metro station by foot, or you can take a taxi directly into Tianhe Cheng for around 4-5usd.
As far as the quality of the stay, the hotel was very quiet at night and the king bed was fantastic. My room had only an Ethernet plug but I carry a mini travel router with me so I just plugged it in for free wifi. I didn't pay for Wifi, apparently some people did? Just make sure it says free when you book. At $50, I got a hell of a deal.
Morning breakfast buffet was not bad too. Its Chinese with some other stuff but really couldn't complain because it was free. One of the factory guys who came for breakfast seemed content also.
Room Tip: I had the Versailles building, it was good.
