Highly recommended! This hotel boasts a prime location and truly exceptional staff. Everyone from the welcoming entrance attendants to the knowledgeable concierge was outstanding, and a special mention goes to the buffet breakfast chef who made our mornings so delightful. Our room and bathroom were even more impressive than advertised. The superb buffet breakfast was the perfect start to each day, and without a doubt, my wife will be returning.

Great hotel - shame about some staff.

Very geand hotel that is well kept despite being a bit aged. Very impressive foyer and accessibility by the lifts is exceptional. Very good location wirh walking distance to a lot of sights. Plenty of small supermarkets nearby as are some great restaurants. Reception try to over promote the "upgrades" to your booking to a point where it becomes annoying. Once they realised that I wasn't going to buy it, they totally became uninterested in us and we had to get our own bags and find our room. Even had to ask them where the lifts were and just got a point in the general direction. Very disappointing. Four concierges could not answer if Metro has tap and go with Visa card. I was told to go to station myself and find out. Room was spacious and very clean.

Pros: convenient location. huge & clean rooms. breakfast was good & concierge was very helpful. Cons: never inform me that they will pre-authorized 2500 yuan 5 days before we arrived. It showed up when my bank sent an alert with a strange account name and no explanations. Then when we check-in, the hotel charge another 2500 yuan for incidentals without telling me. They only explained after I questioned him. The rain shower was great but the drainage was terrible...the water went up to my ankles during the shower & have to shut off the shower so the water will drain or flood the bathroom.
