“Holiday by the Sea”

What a delight. A grand hotel only a stones throw away from the sea front. We stayed 5 nights having changed from a dreadful hotel. So glad we did.

What a delight. A grand hotel only a stones throw away from the sea front. We stayed 5 nights having changed from a dreadful hotel. So glad we did. After walking up the steps the doors are opened by a uniformed bell boy, always with a NIHAO and a smile. Check in was simple enough despite the language barrier. We chose a twin room with no window. Very good rate. The room was through the lobby and down in the basement. It was a good size with separate shower room and loo. My only complaint at this stage is that the internal bathroom and loo doors are frosted glass. Not much privacy for friends sharing however there are clean loos just up a small number of stairs if need be. The room had daily top ups of toiletries and beds were made everyday. The hotel was clean although not spotless. Dirty cups were not replaced in the room, however fresh apples and water is left daily - I like This! There are many facilities within the hotel however I didn't make use of them so cannot comment, too busy exploring the city outside! Location is very good. Walking distance to virtually everything you would want to see or go to. Close to the railway station, the park, restaurants, shopping street, night market. For everything else a taxi or bus is available. The buses are quite simple to use, we paid ¥1 per bus ride - the electric bus is ¥2. I would definitely recommend this hotel and I would stay here again.

To me, I stayed in area B, North direction, back to the coast/main street, and on 2nd floor. So the… more

To me, I stayed in area B, North direction, back to the coast/main street, and on 2nd floor. So there is no view for my room, no sunshine, and actually nothing than a 10 square meter roof and 5 floor high building at the opposite. There is no heating around end Oct, when low temperature drop to 4 degree, very cold at night or wake up. Honestly, it might be better in Summer or Winter at good price.
