Dongguan Forum Hotel and Apartment

DG Forum Hotel remains amazing. Even when you encounter a language barrier, they are quick to help and assist. The food remains delicious, the pools awesome and the views inspiring. Just remember to close the room's balcony doors, otherwise the air conditioning stops 😂😂.

Better than I expected! Front desk attendants Harrison and Linna were knowledgeable and ready to help at any time! That’s something I really appreciate! Will stay there again!

Great location and service. Very nice room and really spacious bed. We didn’t upgrade our view to pool view or garden view so we were facing an abandoned building so upgrade your room if you mind. 

Good overall and without any special highlight. Staff is well educated and efficient. I got told that there is a deposit of 500 for each day of the stay , somehow strange, I wonder if I plan to stay here for 10 days I will have to put a deposit of 5K ?

It’s my second time staying in this hotel. Very convenient place which just 5 mins walk from the nearest metro station. The room is spacious and comfortable. Staff are friendly and helpful. Good for traveling with kids.

Recently renovated and they have done a great job - especially the lobby and restaurant. The rooms are large and well equipped but they are very mean with the tea/coffee giving just 1 small coffee sachet (enough for half a cup) but providing 2 cups. However, they are happy to send extra but in the standard of hotel you should not need to ask. RIP the mini bar - they used to have a great mini bar with snacks, wine/beer etc. Now it is a fridge with a couple of bottle of soft drinks. On the subject of alcohol - the old Carmens bar which had several pool tables and a relaxed atmosphere - has now closed and replaced with what is intended to be a lobby bar but looks more like a bottle museum. The lighting is way too bright for a bar - it's pretty much floodlight so if you want a nice cozy relaxing drink forget it. They have a trolley full of great booze tucked away in the side room - various spirits, liqueurs. They need to set them up on the virtually empty shelves and at least try and make it look like bar. Final gripe is the staff in this brilliantly lit bar have zero interest in what they are doing. Not a single smile or any expression of anything on both evenings I was there. Just a blank stare then back to the phone screen. The breakfast was excellent as were the staff - very helpful and smiley. Front desk were also great. However, to be considered of a International standard (they plan to join a major chain soon) they really need to improve spoken English
