“Very nice hotel.”

The hotel is very near the city center and the metro station. It consists of 3 towers. The rooms are suite-types, very nice and comfortable. There is some problem with the communication between the Towers, as the breakfast is served in Tower C. The breakfast consists mostly of chinese delicases. Its price is very good, internationally speaking, compared to the quality of services. The poor English of the personnel can create problems.

“My expereince with this hotel”

I chose to stay in this hotel not because it is good, but because I must look after a family member who is in a hospital near by. I stayed here in 2008, 2016 and 2017.

I chose to stay in this hotel not because it is good, but because I must look after a family member who is in a hospital near by. I stayed here in 2008, 2016 and 2017. For 80 US Dollars / night, it is rather expensive for what it has to offer. Hotel is relatively clean, but some rooms smells heavy cigarette, and moldy. Breakfast buffet was good in 2008, but got progressively worse over time. Hotel restaurants are quite expensive. Room service is fast, but sometimes does not resolve problems. It is far from the East District where many tourists live. The hotel is about 10 minutes to the subway by foot, which is great. It has an ATM where you can get cash from an American credit card. It has a swimming pool, and a hair salon. It feels like a 2 - 3 start hotel, but it is listed as 4 star. Overall, it is not bad.

“Friendly but need to be able to speak much more English”

This is a curate's egg of a hotel. There are plus points. My suite was large, comfortable, well laid out, clean and quiet. The standard of housekeeping was very good on the whole. The staff were very friendly and tried to be helpful. The minus points I think outweighed the plus points. Hardly … more

This is a curate's egg of a hotel. There are plus points. My suite was large, comfortable, well laid out, clean and quiet. The standard of housekeeping was very good on the whole. The staff were very friendly and tried to be helpful. The minus points I think outweighed the plus points. Hardly any of the staff spoke more than a few words of English. There were no English language newspapers (not even the China Daily) available in reception. The food was undistinguished on the whole (although I had an excellent and reasonable dinner in the Sichuanese restaurant). The towels in the bathroom were always damp. There was no coffee machine in the suite: just some rather dull teabags. The wifi was slow.
