Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center Shenzhen|0.77km from city centre
Overall, it's quite decent. The location is superb, and the room offers a good level of privacy with a pleasant view of Shennan Avenue, where the urban landscape beautifully blends with lush greenery.
However, service was rather minimal. It seemed they relied on temporary staff, as the front desk lacked professionalism in their duties and communication, failing to deliver a truly high-end service experience.
Late check-out was not available, and I'm unsure if this was due to high occupancy or a management issue.
On the upside, there are abundant dining options nearby, and the surroundings are surprisingly quiet. The location truly is excellent. The hotel has a business-oriented vibe, making it a solid recommendation for short business trips.FromAU$207

What a pleasant surprise! I didn't expect this hotel to offer such outstanding value for money. The room, at over 50 square meters, was incredibly spacious and fully equipped with all amenities. What truly exceeded my expectations was the bathtub, perfect for a relaxing soak. The room was impeccably clean, comfortable, and spotless!
The sea view was absolutely stunning. Unfortunately, it was continuously overcast and rainy during my three-day stay, so I missed out on seeing the clear blue sky and a beautiful sunrise. That's why I absolutely must return!
Both the hotel's Western buffet breakfast and dinner were very satisfying. On my second evening, I also dined at the Chinese restaurant and was equally impressed. It offered great value for money, the food was delicious and hygienic, and the decor created a clean and comfortable environment.

The hotel boasts a superb location right by Shenzhen Bay, with Hong Kong visible across the water. Many attractions and shopping centers, such as the Sea World Culture and Arts Center and Shekou K11, are all within walking distance, making it incredibly convenient.
Our 40-sqm room was modern, spacious, and stylish. The comfortable bed ensured a restful night's sleep, even for someone like me who finds it hard to sleep in new places. But the real highlight was the enormous floor-to-ceiling window. Pulling back the curtains unveiled a spectacular, unobstructed view of Shenzhen Bay. By day, you could watch the sparkling waters and bustling boats, and by night, it transformed into a breathtaking panorama of city lights – utterly soothing.

We recently stayed at the InterContinental Shenzhen with our family—our 3-year-old daughter, 12-year-old son, my wife, and me—and we absolutely loved it! The hotel is wonderfully child-friendly, with activities that kept our kids delighted throughout. The pirate-themed swimming pool was a standout; our children didn’t want to leave! Our daughter especially adored the train that circles the swimming play area, adding a magical touch to their fun.
The gym area is excellent, offering a great space for adults to unwind and stay active. The bar and restaurant exceeded our expectations, and breakfast was superb, featuring an impressive selection of both Chinese and Western dishes to suit every taste.
A big thank you to @Dafne 达芙妮 for making our entire stay so special — her thoughtful service truly enhanced our experience.

Stayed here with my boyfriend for 1 night as we needed a relaxing getaway from Hong Kong.
Booked the hotel very last minute (3 hours before we arrived) and it exceeded our expectations!
We came during the week so the area itself was not busy (as i’ve read it can get on the weekends) so it was perfect for us to have some peace and quiet.
The hotel is ON the beach and there are activities that can be done from there (kayaking, jet ski etc). There are cute little coffee shops/restaurants all within walking distance and in the evening there was entertainment on the beach including an open air cinema with beach chairs for guests.
We booked a room with a jacuzzi on the balcony which was lovely in the evening. The room was very clean, the king size bed was huge and we were able to watch english movies via the projector! (Even travelling in the city at more well known hotels, we have had trouble watching english language tv/movies so this was a bonus for us)
In the morning we asked for late check out (very last minute) and they let us stay for an additional hour.
Also, breakfast was included but we missed the allocated time and they texted us via wechat to offer to bring up 2 plates AND coffee which they did not have to do but was so appreciated.
Overall, we needed to relax and this hotel was perfect. We will definitely be returning again AND recommending to our friends.FromAU$77

Prior to my visit, I'd come across numerous negative reviews online, mentioning things like unpleasant room odors and subpar service. This made me quite apprehensive before my trip. However, I actually arrived at the hotel at 1:00 PM and was pleasantly surprised to get my room ready by 1:30 PM. The room was completely odor-free and spotlessly clean! The service staff were also excellent; they helped carry our luggage to the room and were very prompt in responding to any requests we had. I found them all to be incredibly helpful and friendly.

Yantian (Dameisha & Xiaomeisha) Shenzhen|26.99km from city centre
Squeezing in a last-minute getaway, hehe😁 As many reviews noted, check-in was quite slow. However, I could tell the front desk attendant was genuinely putting in a lot of effort to find an available room and assign a suitable one. We were fortunate enough to get a room upgrade too. While waiting in line for check-in, a staff member offered us drinks and small pastries. Since it was already past 4 PM and we were quite tired upon arrival, this gesture was very thoughtful.
The seawater was indeed nice. From the balcony, you could see the free public park teeming with swimmers until very late at night. The waves were strong and quite high, and the kids had a blast. We even spotted small fish occasionally when diving underwater. The outdoor infinity pool was beautiful and very enjoyable to swim in. The indoor one, however, felt just so-so. The kids' play area was closed, so our main focus was playing in the ocean waves.
The information mentioned that dinner reservations were required, but tables were only held until 6 PM. Six o'clock, however, is the perfect time to enjoy the evening and witness the most beautiful sunset. So, making a reservation felt rather pointless; you could just go directly. Also, the weekend meal supplement was a bit pricey: 428 for adults, and 249 for children between 1.2-1.4 meters tall. The dishes were quite plentiful, with the most expensive item, small lobsters, limited to half a lobster per person. It felt more like we were paying for the ambiance than just the food. Furthermore, the package included breakfast for two adults and one child, but the child had to be under 1.2 meters tall. I felt that children under 1.2m are typically offered breakfast for free anyway, so explicitly stating it was 'included for one child' felt a bit like feigned generosity. However, there was a special discount if you added breakfast at the front desk.
Exiting the hotel lobby, if you turn right and walk up the road, you'll reach a seaside boardwalk where the water is even greener. It's about a 2km walk to Xiaomeisha, a nice option for those who enjoy strolling.
The travel photography service, highly praised in many reviews, was indeed great at teaching us how to pose. However, the 'fine-tuned' editing seemed to be mostly one-click beautification and wasn't really necessary; I would have preferred just the original photos.
Overall, if you're not particularly price-sensitive, you can definitely have a fantastic holiday experience here. A big thank you again for the room upgrade, which significantly enhanced our stay! 😄🥰FromAU$196

3. Excellent, quiet location at the foot of a hill, very close to Sea World.

2. Only two complimentary bottles of water are provided (more can be requested). There are no free mini-bar items, but a refrigerator is available.
3. While the location at the foot of the hill offers tranquility, it means everything is a bit of a distance away. It's quite inconvenient without a car, but easy to navigate with a car or by taxi.FromAU$126
