点评: + Quite modern, well maintained and clean hotel
+ Bathroom clean, good shower
+ Safe and hairdryer available, flatscreen TV, bathroom service kit with shampoo etc.
+ Receptionists spoke enough English to cope with check-in and -out and our question to call a taxi
+ the inner court was really beautiful, with a pond and nice flowers
- main problem: the bed. Applying Western standards I would not call it a bed, as it didn't have a mattress, but just a wooden plank covered with 1cm thick lining...it was therefore EXTREMELY hard
- no babybed available (which we knew beforehand)
- the hotel-restaurant did not seem attractive, it was quite empty and prices high. Yet we discovered almost opposite the hotel a truly/original Chinese, really crowded restaurant, which served delicious food at low prices. The menu is purely in Pinyin, though, no pictures.
+- located 200m off one of the main east-west roads of the city, roughly 40minutes to the airport without traffic
+- walls are not sufficiently isolated against noise, however, this is a problem only for some of the rooms, so mention that you want a quiet room when you book
+- room was not big, but sufficient to feel good
Summary: If you manage to sleep on the hard bed, I recommend this hotel, as it is clean and relatively modern for a very decent price
