The hotel is conveniently located near the airport and provides a free airport shuttle, which is very helpful for transit travelers. The service is excellent, and the staff were helpful during our short stay.
However, cleanliness needs improvement as the room was quite dirty. It may not be suitable for guests who are particular about hygiene.
For us, it was acceptable because we were only transiting and stayed for about 4 hours to rest before our next flight. If you just need a short rest near the airport, this hotel is okay for a brief stay, but not recommended for a long stay.
LLuobinI went for the cheapest and most basic room, and it was very cheap! So whilst this review might seem negative here and there, it's merely a description of what I expected.
Firstly, it was January and was unusually cold for Zhengzhou, having recently snowed and with sub-zero temperatures. So I expected the room to be cold, as heating isn't the norm in this part of China (as it is in the North).
But the air con which one normally relies on, only blew cold air and for some reason wouldn't go above 17°C, so I turned it off. (pic)
The room had windows, but was behind a facade and allowed in very little daylight. (pic is the daytime pic of the window without the room lights on).
Instead of the Queen bed I expected, I had two very large singles, so I doubled up on the duvets and I was very warm whilst in bed.
I found the small things annoying, like plastic slippers that hurt your feet (pic) that other people have worn; coat hangers in the bathroom but not even a nail in the door to hang your coat. I used a broken edge of the door to hang my coat(pic) .
And two paper cups (no bottled water but the kettle worked well).
And only one towel, albeit a large one.
And the big gap all around door (pic) which let in smoking smells from other rooms, as well as the light from the hall.
The pillows, and bedding were comfortable and clean. The hot water was hot (I didn't dare to shower because of the cold).
The w/c functioned well, and although the beds were characteristically hard, I slept very well.
There were better rooms free which they could have given me, but they chose to give me an inferior room, which I am reviewing.
The TV worked but I couldn't get any channels on it. I've successfully used that type of TV before so I don't know what I was doing wrong.
WiFi was good.
The decor appeared 'grubby' but this is normal in China.
Check-in was quick and OK.
I booked a (free) lift to airport for the next morning, but when I turned up at the time agreed, there was nobody at reception, so I took the subway, which was adequate.
I recommend it if you are on a budget. It was cheap.
I'll try somewhere else next time. The location is great and there's an abundance of hotels in the area.
ผผู้เข้าพักThis is a new hotel in Anyang, located about a 10-minute walk from the new Wanda Plaza, so the location is not too bad for food options.
If you are arriving by train, it is around a 30-minute drive to the station in normal times and a little longer during peak hours.
The staff are very friendly and kind, and even though my Chinese is limited, they really tried hard to help me when required.
The room was upgraded and was clean and comfortable.
As a brand new hotel, they need a chance to settle things down, but I enjoyed my stay and will go again if the chance comes up.
