Top China actress in shock after finding bloodstained sheet, dirty toilet in US$560 a night 5-star hotel room
- Star also finds smeared drinks glass, broken tap, bad staff attitude
- Actress accused of making mess herself, offered tea as compensation
The experience of a Chinese actress who was shocked to find a bloodstained bedsheet and dirty toilet in a luxury hotel room in southern China has attracted widespread attention on mainland social media.
Tian Pujun released a video clip on Douyin at the end of January in which she exposed a five-star hotel in Guangzhou, Guangdong province, with a room rate of 4,000 yuan (US$560) a night, for its poor sanitary conditions and appalling service, reported the news outlet thecover.cn.
As well as the stained sheet and the dirty toilet which had a used tissue left in it, the star of hit Chinese drama Empresses in the Palace, also found a broken tap and a smeared drinks glass.
When she called room service to report the problems, an employee told her they could provide free afternoon tea as compensation.
“The worker told me I was welcome to have afternoon tea anytime. I was stunned by her response. Was that a sincere apology?” Tian said. “Are people who can afford to stay in such a hotel really interested in a gratis afternoon tea?
“We guests expect a hotel to make us feel safe and comfortable. The bedsheets and toilets should be clean. Does the current sanitary condition match its five-star status?” she asked.
