Mi sentimiento es agridulce.
Es obvio, que como turistas europeos, muchas cosas de hoteles en china nos chocan mucho.
Pero ya he recorrido mucha china como para que me sorprendan. El problema, es que el precio, para ser Changsha y estar en un edificio donde el 30% de las habitaciones son vertederos o lugares abandonados, pues no se corresponde con lo que piden.
Advertencias para turistas internacionales:
El WC inteligente, es poco inteligente. Esto es común en china, por que por legislación (creo) los hoteles que no tienen cierto estándar de higiene no pueden tener WC con videt. Pero ponen uno con aro calefactable para poner en trip “smart toilet”, pero esto, es tipico de china.
La limpieza, cuando llegamos, era muy deficiente, la habitación tenia mucho polvo y plumas, pero el staff del hotel se comportó muy bien. Nos ofrecieron devolvernos el dinero o limpiar. Optamos por limpiar.
Y me alegro, por que las vistas, la bañera y la ubicación, son muy buenas.
Respecto a las instalaciones: están descuidadas, tipico de china, con paredes pintadas a parches y agujeros etc. de nuevo, es increible que taparon el agujero con un papel. No es perfecto, pero nos hizo sentir más cómodos y atendidos.
Todo eso está bien, por que es un hotel medio/alto en china.
Pero el precio entonces, es un engaño. Cobran como si fuera un hotel de excelente cuidado, limpieza, servicios e instalaciones, y no lo es.
Respecto a la habitación en si: tuvimos dos, son bonitas,pero ambas, están más orientadas a una noche de pareja o de amigos, por que para una estancia larga son un poco incomodas al no tener cajones, un armario o un lugar donde organizar tus pertenencias.
Sin embargo tienen lavadora secadora, lo que da a entender que están preparados para eso.
Lo recomiendo? Pues si, pero pienso que el precio para lo que ofrecen, es alto.
En cualquier caso, el personal es atento. Y las habitaciones bonitas.
Here's an even more detailed hotel review:
”We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this hotel! The room was immaculately clean, comfortable, and had a stunning view of the river. The bed was plush and inviting, and the amenities in the room, such as the luxurious toiletries and comfortable robes, were a lovely touch.
The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to make our stay special.
We also loved the hotel's location, which was perfect for exploring the city. There were plenty of great restaurants, shops, and attractions within walking distance, and the hotel's proximity to public transportation made it easy to get around.
Overall, we were thoroughly impressed with our stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great experience. The combination of comfortable rooms, excellent service, and fantastic amenities made for a truly unforgettable stay. Can't wait to come back!”
LLyndsey99Our stay here was perfect, what an amazing place! The staff are exceptional, and really care about guest experience. They provide transport to and from the east gate of the national park, and will help you plan your day. The service was perfect even down to the small details, like putting mosquito repellent out on the table we liked to play cards at, and providing us with a printed photo of our favourite memory there to take away with us.
The room was great, the views were breathtaking. After a long day at the park, we really appreciated having a small swimming pool there for a dip. Food options were good - we enjoyed our dinners and the breakfast buffet. Orders can be placed in advance on WeChat when you are on your way back from a day at the park. There was a decent range of both soft and alcoholic drinks available.
What we loved the most is that they have struck the perfect balance between luxury and a kind of homely comfort. We felt so relaxed here. An added bonus for us was their friendly dogs and cat, as we were starting to miss our own dogs at home by this point of our trip.
The location was fantastic. It is close to the national park, but the views are so good that if you choose to relax at the hotel you won’t miss anything. If our room wasn’t booked for the following days, we would have extended our stay. One of our favourite places we have ever stayed, not just in China. Thank you to everyone at Celestial Vally for an excellent stay!
JJola VangGreat location! We really loved the hospitality and the landscape here. Warm and friendly. Feels like a family.
From the moment I arrived, the warm hospitality of the staff made me feel right at home. They were incredibly accommodating, offering a seamless pick-up and drop-off service to the South Entry of the national forest, which was a huge convenience for exploring the stunning surroundings.
The rooms were spacious and well-appointed, providing a perfect retreat after a day of adventure. I appreciated the thoughtful amenities, including high-quality toiletries that added a touch of luxury to my stay.
One of the highlights was the food. The hotel proudly serves local and organic dishes that are not only delicious but also showcase the rich flavors of the region. Every meal was a delightful experience, making it easy to enjoy the culinary culture of Zhangjiajie.
Additionally, the staff were more than willing to share information about activities in the area and assist with ticket purchases for attractions. Their knowledge and recommendations enhanced my visit significantly.
Overall, I highly recommend this Hotel for anyone looking to explore Zhangjiajie. The combination of spacious accommodations, warm hospitality, and delicious organic food makes it a must-visit destination. I can't wait to return!
