Recomand acest hotel pentru un sejur reușit.
Pros:

Locația este la 350-400 de metri de cea mai apropiată stație de metrou. Am beneficiat de serviciul de transport la această stație de metrou când am avut nevoie. Camera este mare, spațioasă cu două paturi mari. Bucătăria este foarte bună. Se poate servi mic dejun continental care este variat de la o zi la alta.

Cons:

Ca de altfel în toate hotelurile din China, dacă nu ai cumpărat o cartelă când ajungi în China și folosești un esim descărcat din țară nici WIFI nu va fi foarte bun.

durchschnitt der Umsetzung und Hotelleitung, super Rezeptionsteam
Pros:

gute Lage unweit Subway und kleiner Shoppingmal mit food court und Supermarkt

Cons:

nunmehr nach 3 Aufenthalten in den letzten 12 Monaten und meiner Anmerkungen gibt es keinen internationalen/engl. TV Sender obwohl es viele internationale Gäste gibt;
In den Nachbarzimmern wurde über 4 Tage geraucht, trotz mehrfacher Anrufe in der Rezeption wurde es nicht abgestellt. Wsrum werden solche Gäste nicht ausgewiesen? Vielleicht sollte man die Polizei rufen
