Avoid the Wharton

Guest name: Lieselotte_sj, Amsterdam
If you DO NOT care for room temperatures unchangeably above 25 Celsius, dark rooms with small windows, slow internet, shutt-down aircons in Feb, a 'suite' with clean floors, hygenically prepared food (4 out of 7 got ill for days while only staying and eating in the 2 hotel restaurants, english understanding (!) roomservice, any facility for small children (i.e. for our adoption group), or shops within walking distance,
BUT if you however DO LIKE to pay western prices for Chinese pseudo-luxury with a marble ceiling reception, daily Chinese weddings, wait for taxis to arrive, smoking Chinese business men during breakfast and staff without a clue on basic expectations of western travellers, you should absolutely book this place. Otherwise avoid it! (22/2/08)

An international hotel with a chinese edge. getting by in other languages can be a slow job, but people are helpful and the rooms are nice and clean. The hotel had lots of western couples looking to adopt chinese babies when I was there, everyone was treated well. The restaurants left a bit to be desired, the main buffet was the best way to eat, and even then had a few surprises for westerners

Comfortable and Clean
Guest name: Baidun, Hong Kong
Nanning is one of the cleanest provincial capitals in China (no industry) and the hotels also generally better value. The Guangxi Wharton was suprisingly relaxed and comfortable - good large swimming pool, better than average English skills. Rooms on the 6th/7th floor showed signs of humidity causing deterioration (eg spotty carpets) but the business rooms on the 17th floor are well-equipped.
The best wonton soup
Guest name: member, Houston, TX
Order a bowl of wonton soup to your room for aprox. $3.50 and you will not be sorry. It's more than enough for two, more than a dozen large wontons made fresh several days a week. If you have a new adopted baby, she will love it too. A great dinner when you are tired after a long day. Warning, you will be less than thrilled about American returant wonton soups after the Wharton.
