I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were beautiful, modern, and clean, with double glazed windows keeping them very quiet inside. However, the service was a bit strange, asking for additional deposits unexpectedly. The location, while convenient for trade fairs, was far from the city center, making it inconvenient for exploration. The dining options were decent, with a good variety of Western and Chinese dishes.

Although the hotel rooms looked very old and must be repaired, and there was a smoky and stale smell in the air, they were surprisingly spacious and clean, equipped with a well-stocked bathroom. The service was exceptional with my coffee ready every morning and evening but slightly marred by the poor English of the receptionist and the unexpected request for additional deposit payment. The location, while far from the city center, boasts nearby small malls, restaurants, and street food stalls, making it convenient for trade fairs but lacking proximity to the metro station. The dining experience varied, with generous morning offerings but slim pickings on other days. The facilities were standard overall.

My stay at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms were not only clean but also incredibly spacious, feeling like a luxurious bachelor pad with a full lounge and kitchen. The free high-speed WiFi was a real benefit. However, the check-in and check-out processes were a bit troublesome, and the language barrier with some staff members made communication a challenge.
