Location is good, however, the hotel property needs renovation big time. Hotels.com helped me sort out my changes, which was the best part of the trip.
I think this hotel is brilliant. However it might not be for the reasons you personally look for. It's location, for me, could not be better. More about that in a bit.
I would rate this hotel a strong 3 star, maybe a low 4. Everyone is lovely and they do their best to make your stay pleasant. Breakfast is the typical buffet arrangement and you can easily find something to sort yourself out. The hotel is clean. Room service happens daily and you always get a nice smile from the ladies doing the work. The rooms are clean. They are dated though. The heating/air-conditioning does work but, it's a bit of a nightmare to work it out. Looking at the previous reviews they are all pretty accurate except the 2 out of 10 rubbish.
The free WiFi works well. You can use apps like WhatsApp and (with a VPN) Netflix.
There's stuff that is disappointing. A restaurant that has weird opening hours. 10-15:00 etc. Completely useless to me. There's a Chinese restaurant in the evening but, why would I eat there?? There's millions of them outside the hotel all of which serve stunning food for loads less money.
There's certainly things they could do to make this hotel even better.
What makes this hotel brilliant for me is the location. It is situated on a large busy (safe) crossroads. One way it's Anli Road the other is Huizhong Road. You can find pretty much everything you want on both these roads. You have fantastic restaurants and also the likes of McDonalds, KFC, Dominoes etc.
I love the decoration of the hotel, the hotel staffs are very friendly to welcome visitors check in; and the staff in cafeteria whose name is Isabel Hong Li very professional and the staff in Chinese restaurant whose name Yina liu is also very good. Overall I like this one and will come back to stay next time.
The breakfast buffet was good. The buildings reception area is beautiful. The rooms are outdated and cleaning is not adequate.( Floors are not vacuumed. ) difficult to communicate with staff yet they are courteous.
They entire staff was great especially Tony the concierge and the hotel manager. They all made sure our visit was memorable. We would definitely go back to this hotel.
Location is perfect for what i was looking for...1st floor 24 hrs coffee shop is convenient
Food is acceptable
For some reason they updated my room and it's great better than i expected
