Checked into the "hostel" which is a storefront attached to a hotel. They seem to rent the old dilapidated rooms from the hotel they are situated near. Our reservation was lost. The room itself was filthy, smelled horrible, full of bugs. There was 1 bulb not burnt out in the light fixture the tub needed a scrub badly. We left almost immediately and booked at a much nicer place. Sam didn't seem to care either way. Avoid this place like the plague

Don't do it

Sam's guesthouse has the perfect location. Tianfu square is right around the corner. You are in the city center and places are within walking reach.

The room itself was 'okay-ish'.The air conditioning was very unreliable. The bathroom had a western style toilet but that's the only plus. They bring hot water every morning, which is kind enough. Only we had a major jetlag so placed the sign 'do not disturb' on the doorknob, but they just ignored that completely... And they even opened the door to try and come in, so make sure your door is properly locked. (But even that is unreliable. Since they have a key to come in. So use the keychain lock to prevent them from barging in.)

Great location but a very basic guesthouse.

We arrived at Sam's Guesthouse at about 3.30 a.m. Knowing that it has a 24 hours reception but for sure emailed the hostel about our late arrival. Expecting someone to let us in, we found the door closed and nobody to welcome us.
We had to stay this night in another hotel.... Very inconvienent!
Next day it costs us lots of talking to get this night payed by Sam's Guesthouse!
The room we finally got was very fuzzy and old fashioned! It was smelly! We slept one night in this room and then moved to a bigger one. Still smelly en fuzzy!
We stayed three nights there and for certain: never come back!!

Sam's guest house, my first in China - a museum like building tucked behind a large uninspired Chinese hotel, most convenient location 5 mins to Tianfu, restaurants and shops, market, on the same street, people's park two blocks, bed is hard, lights are dim, musky smell (so ever slight) noisy air conditioner, excellent value at $20, Star who checked me in was very helpful with information, more so than most Chinese hotels including holiday inn express..

Museum like guest house

We have been traveling some time now and are not complaining kind of people, but this hotel should hire a new cleaning staff and drop the prices! We stayed 3 days here because unfortunately the flipflop hostel was full and we disn't want to move avain. The bathroom was very dirty with long black hairs everywhere, for a bath you don't need the stop the water is stuck on all the hairs. I told the cleaninglady who did not understand, when telling the reception the bathroom was extra cleaned but the bath was still dirty, the bathroom also smells. The room was quite dark. At the last morning the cleaning personal was very loud around our room waking us at 7.30! The only upside is the location, but I would defenitely recommand flipflop over this lousy hotel. We used the laundry service which was very expensive, we could have slept another night for this money!! In flipflop the staff was very helpfull, cleaninglady always smiling and great breakfast! 

Dirty, too expensive for what you get

I highly recommend this place, clean, efficient and organized for all the sites of interest in the vicinity. Clean and large room, we chose the one with the highest price. I organized with them my trip to Tibet and it was wonderful. thanks to all the staff perfectly speaking English...and in China it is not small!!
