Reviews
Night time is a bit quite in this area.
Only the cleanliness is terrible, some red mark is on the chair, we move away the bed and found the dirt under the bed.
Breakfast is good for me !
If you really mind about the cleanliness than advise not to stay.
Room is like renovated not too long ago, but lack of maintenance. Light is broken, not idea why they could not repair. Housekeeping must saw and why did not report?
Cons: Bed linen needs to be updated, the chair in the toilet was broken, they taped the crack with something. Are you serious? The new one costs 5 dollars. Something with the hood in the hotel. The room is constantly smelling of cigarettes. You can freeze in the sauna. It's definitely not 4 stars.
I don't recommend
The most crucial thing is the price; for around 400 RMB a night, what more could you possibly fault? It's genuinely flawless.
