Categories

Cleanliness
8.6
Generally reported as clean and well maintained; a few guests mentioned a strange/"basement-like" odour in one room but others explicitly noted very clean rooms.
Service
9.6
Outstanding service repeatedly highlighted — multiple guests praised staff by name (Dafne, Yvonne, Frau Lopez) for attentive, helpful and proactive assistance, including Club/concierge support.
Location
9.5
Excellent location (close to metro/Theme Park and local attractions) noted by many; one comment that a room was a bit far from the lift but did not affect overall impressions.
Room Quality
8.3
Rooms described as spacious with comfortable beds; some operational issues reported (missing crib, early check-in problems) and occasional odd odour or less-desirable room placement.
Amenities
9.3
Strong amenities: popular pool, well-regarded fitness area and excellent Club/Executive lounge access; minor negatives like needing more pool chairs and limited kids play facilities.
Value for Money
8
Generally good value but impacted for some by breakfast policy (only 2 guests included), buffet availability late in service, and queues — reduced perceived value for a few guests.
Food and Beverage
8.1
Breakfast described as tasty and varied and praised by many, but recurring operational issues (long queues, limited included guests, buffet running low at times) lowered scores slightly.
Overall Experience
9
Overall very positive with many 'exceptional' and 'will come back' comments and strong family-friendly appeal, tempered by isolated service lapses and occasional noise/events.

Exceptional.
Pros:

Dafne made our stay exceptional. She catered to our every need and went out of her way to help us in any way. And she still had a beaming smile when greeting us at breakfast. Thank you, Intercontinental, but most of all…. thank you, Dafne!

Cons:

Nothing not to like.

A bit disappointed
Pros:

The pool is obviously the highlight of the place - especially with kids

Cons:

Had requested an early check in which was approved - upon arrival, no room available, no explanation, no solution proposed. I had to ask to change room for the staff at the reception to get me another room.
Had request a crib which was approved - upon arrival, no crib available, no explanation, just no crib available. Had to ask for an alternative as no solution was suggested.
Buffet lunch - we arrived late, so barely any food left, items being removed as we were putting food on plates. Would have appreciated a warning to consider other options rather than being asked to pay before even seeing the buffet mostly empty.
Not sure whether there was a techno festival or some kind of party happening right next to the hotel all day and part of the evening - loud music and challenging to put the kids to bed at night.

Super Betreuung!
Pros:

Das allerbeste war die Betreuung von Frau Lopez!! Sie war an der Rezeption als wir ankamen, so ging das einchecken problemlos! Sie gab mir Ihre Kontaktdaten, so konnten wir sie jederzeit alles Fragen! Das ist unglaublich wertvoll gewesen, denn es spricht fast niemand Englisch in Shenzhen. Wegen Frau Lopez würden wir wieder in das Hotel kommen! Danke

Très bien
Pros:

Les installations sont très jolies et le cadre également. La chambre était très propre et bien équipée. Les employés ont été très agréables et à l'écoute. Je remercie particulièrement Dafne Lopez qui m'a beaucoup aidé lors de mon séjour et l'a rendu d'autant plus agréable.

Cons:

L'expérience à l'hôtel a été très agréable et confortable sur tous les points, à l'exception de l'attente pour déjeuner , une queue de 30 min me paraît limite indécent , une autre organisation devrait être pensée
