If you wouldlike to find a bargain, first of all, figure out our key buying criteria.
Focus on your keyrequirement, decide the time you are willing to spend on the road, say 30minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, etc, and then find the hotel with commuting timebetween the hotel and the Canton Fair venue which fit in your requirement.

Tip 1: Analyze your key buying criteria

The key error in finding a hotel is:tend to look for a normal hotel, in good location, such as close to shoppingcenter, central business district, or metro station, etc.

Yet, the fact is: Canton Fair venue islocated in Pazhou, which is in southeast part of Guangzhou, far from citycenter; while it’s adjacent to several highways, through which you can fastaccess to Guangzhou suburb, esp. Panyu (south next to Pazhou), or northern partof Guangzhou, as well as other cities in Pearl River Delta.In fact, under most circumstances, the time you need to spend on trafficcongestion by go back to city or go to hotel which is far from city center isthe same, but the room rate would make a total difference.
So, ask yourself these questions:

Am I going to spend most of the time onCanton Fair venue?
Or I always spend the evening in citycenter and come back to the hotel in late hours?

If you would spend all the day time inCanton Fair, and in the evening just stay in hotel room, go through thecatalog, use internet to check email and communicate with your business partneror family members, definitely, you should try to find a hotel with goodfacilities including internet access of course, and good environment; yet, notnecessarily very close to Pazhou, no need to live next to metro station.

Your criteria would lie in:
1. Location ofhotel, Transportation
2. Is itreally that critical for you to live in hotel with English speaking staff?

Tip 2: Making use of the ignorance of hotels

The thumb of rule in finding bargain is:usually, the more ignorant your business partner is, the easier for you to finda good deal.

In the case of finding bargain in hotelroom, it is easier for you to find bargain in hotel which the hotel owner donot aware that it is convenient for the guest to go back and forth betweenPazhou and their hotel. That is: they do not try to target overseas buyers whocome for Canton Fair. So, therefore, they do not raise the price of thehotel during Canton Fair, therefore, you can pay the normal rate i.e. withinUS$30-40 for a twin room during Canton Fair.
