Had all the usual amenities including unlimited bottles of water.

A large size by most comparisons, with King bed, good clean bathroom with plenty of towels, bottled water and accessories, some for sale.

Bottled water is provided for free, along with an important reminder not to drink the tap water.

Toiletries and some bottled water provided.

There were two bottled water available daily and we liked having a safe in the room to keep our valuables rather than in the hotel safe.

Mostly eastern delights, with hot and cold dishes and a selection of bread and fruit.

We were not fully prepared for this weather and traveling locally was miserable cold and wet.

The room was cold and there was no heat only a/c which the bellboy turned off when I told him room was very cold,

Surprisingly, cold, windy weather does not dictate that the lobby doors be closed, so those of you that enjoy fresh air, no matter the temperature, will be quite pleased, especially since there is NO HEAT in any of the common areas of the hotel.

actually its quite cold in winter, ask for an extra heater to be brought to your room,

Most staff was very friendly and aimed to pleased.

Pro:rooms are comfortable, staffs are very friendly, and the buffet breakfast is satisfactory.

Hotel staff were all friendly and spoke adequate English.

The lobby looks pretty nice and the staff is friendly,

Great morning Buffet and very friendly and pleasant staff at the HOtel.

The staff was extremely friendly and helpful,

However, the staff was friendly, and helpful.

Great and friendly service and always plenty of staff around.

:)

On a positive note, the location is decent and the staff were friendly.

Friendly staffs always look out for foreigner's interest
         5.

The staff was very friendly upon arrival and immediately took our luggage away.

When we went back to the hotel room it had very little to no heat, blankets were only source of comfort beside a warm shower.

.there's no heat coming out of the heat vent.

Porters await at the main entry, a massive foyer complete with huge chandeliers greet you.

There is a western/international hotel off the lobby and a Chinese buffet restaurant on the 2nd floor.

The staff at the lobby and check-in counter were very welcoming and knowledgeable, speaking multiple Chinese dialects as well as English.

Lobby looks great and the dim sum restaurant is good.

When I arrived I was taken aback by the elegance and vastness of the hotel lobby.

Our room included breakfast buffet in one of the restaurants in the main lobby - lots of food options, both Chinese and "Western".

The Western restaurant in the lobby was surprisingly better.

The hotel itself is nice and clean with a large lobby and generally helpful staff.

I noted they added at least four or five new shops on lobby level and the restaurant was remodeled inside.

Thanks to a terrible lunch at the lobby restaurant, i managed to get food poisioning whilst staying at this hotel.

The lobby is quite large with a piano in the center and marble floors.

The lobby is magnificent and the rooms were huge.

Hosted by a friend for a 2 night stay, this hotel meets international standards.

A member of my party bought a hat and a jacket from the boutique.

The housekeeping staff were accommodating and helpful as our party had uneven numbers and needed a rollaway bed and additional amenities.

However, I would insist for a non-smoking floor to ensure a room of no smoking smell.

Between that and our basic Chinese, we checked into a non-smoking room without any problem.

Floor and room did not smell of stale smoke thankfully - if you've stayed in Chinese hotels before you'll know this is often the case even on supposed non smoking floors.

The rooms while clean, still wreaked of cigarette smoke which is strange because I'm on a non smoking floor.

One draw back is if you don't request for a non smoking room, the smell of the cigarette in the room is not pleasant.

Many bathrooms in China are built without using U-pipes in their plumbing causing the stinky smell coming back in to the room.

The sign non smoking seems to be optional.

This hotel do not have non-smoking rooms.

Unfortunately, after I few minutes I noticed again that still there was no heat emanating from the vent.

I especially liked the non smoking floor - not that common in China!

Loads of staff, always looking for something to be doing.

Replete with a long driveway approach lined with world flags and a baggage porter awaiting your arrival.

Most staff can speak English and they all try their best answering your questions and give you recommendations.

We called the main desk and someone came up to try and help us.

Wait staff looked lost on how to help western guest.

but the standout one was their char sui (bbq pork).

The front desk was very helpful in finding a driver with mini-bus to take our group of 10 plus an interpreter to the village.

Only a few receptionists were able to help you in English.

I warmly suggest to book the room at the business flor, as much more comfortable and clean, with a reasonable price delta from normal room.

-The front desk staff can speak good English; 
-the rooms are big and clean with a very nice view on the river (we were at 20/F).

The Vienna Classic Hotel Kaiping Yihua Square is near these landmarks: Watchtower Group of Zili Village, Kaiping Garden, Ma-Xianglong Towers Group, Chikan European Style Street, Longgang Ancient Temple, Mt.

Also don't expect to use your counties credit cards shopping they do not carry western facilities, Oh did i forget to mention of counterfit money!

Inadequate key cards for the room where we can get the room key cards after 4 hours of check-in. 3.

They tried using the DISCOVER card several times.

The decor is a bit old fashioned and tired,

but the restaurant sign that has giant Chinese characters against a black color background.

"Western style breakfasts" are a local interpretation of Hong Kong style breakfast.

And just like many hotels in China, the more people who use the elevator means the more chances of people smoking inside the elevators.

Mostly young people in the town goes there to be exposed to western music and western culture, There are 4 elevators on the hotel side so if one  is suspicious of something, use some common sense!

Some other reviewers have mentioned that there is a club that shares the same elevator as the hotel.

using the same elevator as the hotel guests.

This is located in a building that is shared with an entertainment complex, as well as restaurants, so it can get a bit rowdy if you share an elevator with drunken men.

but tried their best to help us with questions and were friendly and accommodating.

Staff are generally helpful and friendly. 3.

The driver was a super friendly older gentleman and got me to the hotel in about 3-4 minutes.

The receptionists are nice, polite and friendly.

but had a strong smell of cigarette/ paint, we had to open the windows for some time to try to get rid of the smell.

The room is full of smell of cigarette. 2.

I changed room the second day and decreased the smell by 80% which made it tolerable.

Feel free to conact me if you have any further questions about my adventures. jaegermah[at]gmail[dot]com.

On the whole they were very helpful and did their best to try and understand my very limited Mandarin + English.

Greetings from the Wilson Hotel in  Kaiping!!! .

Cantonese or Hoyping/Toisan dialect are best for communication with locals, and Mandarin should suffice as well.
