Pros:

The room was cozy, spacious and clean, but a little smelly.

Cons:

Breakfast is very limited and you must choose what to eat day in advance. I didn't like at all. The staff was kind, but slow and not always efficient.

Quiet place, but a bit away from the touristic spots.
Pros:

The breakfast is very good and fresh made especially for you. The place is very quiet and you can have a good night.

Cons:

The location is bit far from the downtown and especially the touristic spots. I found only one good restaurant at walking distance nearby the hotel. However as I said above this provide a very quiet location, perfect for resting.

Cons:

Kein richtiger Wäsche-Trockner. Unsere Wäsche war leider am Ende des Aufenthaltes noch nass.

Всё прекрасно, когда в осеннем саду бывшего чиновника императора зацветает лотос
Pros:

Изумительный персонал. Китайцы удивительные люди, всегда вежливы, всегда стремятся помочь, и помогают, даже если не знают английского языка.

Cons:

Нам всё очень понравилось.

Pros:

The hotel is nice and big and the rooms are nicely done

Cons:

The breakfast was a little spare, the location is far out of town and unfortunately my room smelt very very strongly of cigarettes. I had to air out the room the whole 2 days I was there. Also the gym has a very small amount of équipement there is the space to have more so think it would be good if they invested in a bit more materials
