Wont think twice before booking again
Pros:

The stay far exceeded our expectations. It was one of the few places during our stay in China where the concierge spoke perfect English and helped us with everything, including ordering food from a food delivery app late one night. The staff was extremely polite right from check in to check out and the stay was simply fabulous.

Cons:

Nothing

Gorgeous, stunning new hotel, but the air-conditioning in the rooms doesn’t work.
Pros:

We booked 3 rooms for our family & stayed 4 nights, and overall we really loved the experience. The interiors are beautifully designed, and the room sizes are massive, which made a big difference for a family stay. All of the staff were extremely friendly and helpful throughout, with a special mention to Jerry, who really stood out. The Concierge also spoke great English and had a fun, bubbly personality that made everything easy and enjoyable.

Cons:

The only downside, and unfortunately a significant one, was the air-conditioning in all 3 rooms. The temperature consistently sat between 23–25°, which was very uncomfortable for us, especially at night when trying to sleep. We were hoping for a cooler setting around 19°, but it didn’t seem possible to adjust it. Interestingly, the common areas of the hotel were well air-conditioned, so it felt like the issue was isolated to the rooms.

We understand the hotel may be following an energy-saving or eco-friendly approach, but it did impact our comfort quite a bit. While we genuinely loved the hotel, this is something they need to address, as it would be the main reason we wouldn’t return.

Pros:

Exceptional from the very first step. The staff were lovely and incredibly helpful, especially when assisting us in organising transport back to the airport after checkout. We arrived early, and they kindly held our bags until we were able to check in. The facilities were very clean, and the lobby and seating area were spacious and comfortable.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the only downsides were that the room was slightly smaller than expected, and the WiFi was quite poor.
