Very simple but good price. Close to the old train station (be careful where your train leaves from, the high speed trains leave from another station). The breakfast was ok. Nothing special but ok. Overall, I was decently satisfied. The view from the room was nice.
TTienneThe room is a little old, and not maintained very carefully: the carpet is not very clean, and there was a strong smell of cigarettes in my room. I requested a non-smoking room on the Trip.com app, so perhaps they didn't have any prepared at the time.
The front desk ladies are friendly and welcoming, one of them helped me inquire about transportation options. They always have a smile which brightened my days as it was raining heavily everyday during my entire stay.
This hotel provides things such as slippers, toothbrush and toothpaste, body wash, shampoo, and a small bar of soap. However, they do not provide bottled water, which was a first for me during all the hotels I've stayed at in China. You can get water downstairs for 2rmb.
The location is right in the centre of the town, so it's close to restaurants and grocery stores. It's about a 45 minute drive to the Daqing Scenic area and the Goulaochang hike entrance. However, if you're like me and rely on public transportation, its better to arrange for a ride back with the driver that takes you there, since there's not a lot of drivers in Jinoeng who use the Didi rideshare app, and the scenic area is far from town so there's no taxis out there either.
One thing that worried me about the hotel was when I found a small bug, which I suspected was a bedbug, on my body during a nap. I was told by the staff that they're just common grassland bugs, and for the duration of my stay, I haven't found any bug bites on me so I figured she's correct. I've attached a photo for those who may be concerned, but it's quite blurry as I couldn't get the camera to focus on something so small.
ผผู้เข้าพักThis hotel offers great value for its price.
Breakfast is not provided (as mentioned during booking), and I don’t think they have a restaurant. However, there’s a Mongolian restaurant right next door, and KFC — which also serves beef! burgers — is within walking distance.
The room was spacious, and the beds were comfortable — not too soft, not too firm. I had a good night’s rest before continuing my trip. Essentials like toothbrushes, shampoo, bath gel, and towels were all provided.
Oh, and the heated toilet seat… my bum was very happy!
The hotel is just a few steps from the airport shuttle bus station. Be sure to check the departure times in advance — otherwise, you might need to negotiate a taxi ride, as I did.
The only minor issue was a faint lingering smell of cigarette smoke. I kept the window open overnight, and by morning, the smell was gone. Closing the window warmed up the room again. I do wish the management would designate a non-smoking wing, if not an entire floor, to make things more comfortable for non-smokers.
Overall, a good stay, and I’d be happy to recommend it.
