“Great all-round hotel”
The Canton has plenty of staff, always near the door, elevator etc to greet you, hold a door open or carry your bag. They are well presented, friendly and have a little english. Desk staff and the Business center staff are fine with english. There are 4 restaurants, ranging in price, but none are expensive, although more costly of course than eating at a local eaterie on the street. The nearest Metro is only 10 minutes walk, and Beijing road has many good shops. The hawkers are a nuisance, but go away if you are firm enough.
We booked a mini commercial suite on the 26th floor, and it is extremely good value. A good size (by China/HK standards), plenty of lights, large new TV, good shower and as others have noted, a hard bed. We slept fine tho, and the room was very quiet. Free wired LAN internet access in the room was very important and useful for us. The wall power sockets will take plugs with 2 round pins and also plugs with 3 angled flat pins, the same as NZ and Australia, so that made things easy. Voltage is 220. The cleaning staff had virtually no english, and didn't keep the room quite as clean as they might have, but there were no problems. In general all staff at the hotel were very courteous, prompt and eager to please. We would definitely stay again.
