Reviews
Hygiene: Breakfast was just okay, and the cleanliness wasn't up to par.
Even on the day of check-in, we were given a dirty room. When we went upstairs, we found the room door wide open and the room hadn't even been cleaned. I can't understand how a hotel in the Jiangnan region could be so bad.
For such a large hotel, there's no laundry room. I asked the front desk where there was a self-service laundry nearby, and the answer was always 'I don't know.' I easily found one myself online. The front desk staff clearly have no knowledge of facilities around the hotel.
In summary, my experience was very bad. I do not recommend this hotel and will not stay here again.
The room itself is okey compare to the price. The bathroom has a bathtub with a shower in the bathtub but no curtain, so water easily splashes out and the floor gets wet after taking a shower, which is quite inconvenient.
Breakfast is very basic with limited choices, but the rate is only around 1x,xxz won, I think it’s acceptable. If youneed sth delicious, pls find others. The staff are quick check in and check out. There is also a cafe under the hotel that’s open 24 hours, so it’s easy to grab something to eat or drink anytime.
Overall, for this price range, the hotel is acceptable mainly because of its location and service. However, the bathroom design and small room size might be a downside for some guests.
