My business trip to Shenzhen this time exceeded my expectations in terms of the overall stay experience. When I checked in, it was peak time, and the lobby was quite crowded. Joy handled everything very smoothly, without any rush, and quickly processed my check-in. She also took care of various small on-site requests without needing repeated back-and-forth communication. The room's maintenance was satisfactory; the desk was dust-free, and the bathroom was clean and tidy. After a long day, returning to a clean and comfortable room was great. The hardware isn't brand new, but it's practical enough for a business trip. The internet speed was stable, and the desk space was ample, allowing me to catch up on some work in the evening. The hotel's location is very convenient for business travelers, being close to many business hubs. There are plenty of dining options downstairs, and getting taxis to and from the hotel is easy. The soundproofing between floors was also good, allowing for a peaceful rest after a busy day. As someone who frequently travels for work, I value this kind of reliable and unpretentious experience, and this is my genuine impression of the Crowne Plaza Hotel.FromPKR 27,478

This hotel is incredibly convenient. The B1 level connects directly to a shopping area and a metro station, featuring everything from coffee shops and a snack street to anime stores – it's super handy. The lobby is luxurious and grand, and the rooms are spacious and bright. The huge curved floor-to-ceiling windows offer a breathtaking panoramic view of Shenzhen's nightscape. The swimming pool is clean and comfortable, and the gym is professionally equipped, with a full range of clean and hygienic machines; it's quite busy, but the atmosphere is fantastic! The executive lounge offers a great selection of food with excellent service; they even delivered meals to our room when we didn't want to go out. Overall, the experience was superb, and I highly recommend it!FromPKR 31,486

I chose this hotel because I was going to Hong Kong 🇭🇰, and it was so convenient! It's just a 100-meter walk to Futian Railway Station, and the subway is also easily accessible. My child really wanted to take the subway, so we went to Hong Kong. The two round trips were really unpleasant. This place is part of China, yet you have to put up with the attitudes of the people there; they look so impatient, as if we mainlanders owe them something. Without our mainland fish, how would your economy grow? I'll never go there again. Shenzhen is much better, with great food and a relaxed atmosphere. The hotel was good too 👍. Seeing Hong Kong people coming to Shenzhen to spend money, it makes you realize how much more affordable the mainland is. A bowl of noodles in Hong Kong costs over a hundred, and everything is expensive. I'll definitely come back to Shenzhen for food, drinks, and fun. Happy! There were no crowds at Disneyland during the summer vacation 🤗, and there will be fewer and fewer people in the future. Welcome to Shanghai Disneyland, where you don't have to deal with anyone's bad attitude; just let loose and have fun!FromPKR 41,279

A huge shout-out to Vanilla at the front desk of The Ritz-Carlton, Shenzhen Galaxy! My stay was absolutely perfect. The lobby ambiance is grand and elegant, and the location is superb. However, the most outstanding aspect was undoubtedly the professional service from the front office team. A special thank you to Front Office Director Perry and the entire front desk team: Hedy, Jimmy, Jennifer, Molly, Erin, Dannie, Koko, Sahar, Joy, Bella, and Eva. The whole team is incredibly well-trained and works seamlessly together, maintaining order even during peak check-in times. Both check-in and check-out processes were efficient and quick.
The team members were consistently gentle and polite, proactively explaining hotel facilities, local transportation, and member benefits. They were prompt in responding to requests for luggage storage, coordinating room needs, and answering inquiries. Their attention to detail was exceptional, perfectly embodying the Ritz-Carlton's 'Ladies and Gentlemen serving Ladies and Gentlemen' philosophy. Each team member was patient, meticulous, and handled situations with poise, resolving issues efficiently and thoughtfully. There was no cumbersome waiting at any point, and my travel fatigue instantly melted away. When I visit Futian next time, The Ritz-Carlton, Shenzhen Galaxy will still be my top choice.

It's been a while since I brought my family to stay at the Four Seasons Shenzhen. On the day of check-in, Max contacted me and enthusiastically arranged for us to check in directly at the Executive Lounge on the 29th floor, which felt very welcoming! He also helped upgrade us to a suite on the 30th floor and thoughtfully arranged a small bed and a little tent for the child. Previously, he made a personalized key card for me, which I still carry. This time, he made a cute bear-themed key card for my child with her name printed on it, and she absolutely loved it! I've also stayed at the Four Seasons in Guangzhou, Tianjin, and Beijing before, and they were all excellent! But I feel a special connection to the Four Seasons Shenzhen; every time I come back, it feels like returning home. Perhaps this is the true essence of a top-tier hotel. The Executive Lounge has seen some changes; breakfast is now served as a set menu, which is quite good. They prepare just enough portions for the number of guests, which is quite eco-friendly. I feel the entire hotel has a very strong environmental consciousness, including the packaging of toothpaste and the wooden toothbrushes, etc. APEC Shenzhen is coming up soon, and the Four Seasons should be the official hotel, meeting very international standards. The Bose sound system in the room is also a nice touch. The Executive Lounge experience was great this time; the supervisor, Cecilie, was very warm, and Chadi even came over personally to greet my family during dinner, which was a pleasant surprise. Oh, and the outdoor pool was open in the summer with a perfect water temperature. It was a wonderful experience, and I look forward to staying again!FromPKR 67,146

During my leisure time, I tried the hotel's mooncakes.

Even though the hotel was fully booked, the staff's response time was still very fast. They were always ready to assist with any request, providing attentive and thoughtful service.
You absolutely must try the Tian Tao Xuan restaurant at the hotel. The dishes taste great, and it offers excellent value for money – affordable and delicious. We ate there twice! The family-friendly facilities were an even bigger surprise. The family rooms were filled with toys and picture books that kids love, and both the indoor and outdoor playgrounds offered a wide variety of activities, with slides and play equipment galore.
There were so many activities that one day wasn't enough to enjoy them all. I recommend booking at least two days to take your time and experience everything. My two children had a blast the whole time, and I didn't have to worry about planning any activities. The environment was clean and comfortable, and with dining, accommodation, and entertainment all in one place, it's perfect for a family vacation.

Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center Shenzhen|3.95km from city centre
Coincidentally, a typhoon hit, and my original plan was to travel to areas around Shenzhen for the weekend. Due to the typhoon and high-speed rail cancellations, I had to change my plans and opted for a staycation in Shenzhen. I was drawn to THE LANGHAM's unique British charm, and after much deliberation, I chose this hotel. Although it's been open for a while, I was a bit worried the facilities might be outdated. However, comparing it to the most beautiful lounges in London, I impulsively booked an executive room.
Upon arrival, a small hiccup delayed my check-in. Afterward, a thoughtful male staff member at the front desk noticed and guided us to the executive lounge on the 22nd floor to check in. There, Peter, who assisted us, was incredibly warm and demonstrated the professionalism expected of high-end hotel staff. He thoughtfully asked about our preferences and led us to a comfortable spot in the lounge. Throughout our time, the lounge staff — Emily, Via, Yulia, and Caron — also showcased what a 'most beautiful lounge' should be, with attentive service and impeccable attire. The variety of drinks and other offerings in the lounge was extensive; we basically didn't want to leave.
Stepping into the room, a strong British ambiance immediately enveloped us, truly reflecting the brand's unique character. The room offered panoramic views of Shenzhen Bay through its 180-degree floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing us to experience the city's vibrancy even from bed. The hotel breakfast was also rich and varied; I tried the beef noodles, which were excellent, and the desserts were a big plus.
Thanks to the professional service and the brand's distinctive style, I felt the joy of a vacation without even leaving Shenzhen. THE LANGHAM is truly worth it!FromPKR 39,255

Longgang Center Shenzhen|26.6km from city centre
The room was spacious with a balcony overlooking the golf course, and the large bathtub on the balcony was great for a soak in the evening. However, I didn't dare use it during the day due to a lack of privacy. Golf hotels generally tend to be less crowded, quiet, and safe, guaranteeing good room and dining quality. On the downside, the complimentary snacks in the minibar seemed unhealthy. Also, the 100 RMB dining voucher required a minimum spend of 200 RMB, which wasn't ideal; it would have been better not to offer it at all. Perhaps because the air conditioning in the room and throughout the hotel was set quite high, there was a damp smell when I first entered the room, and the air purifier wasn't working. In the morning, since the room was above the restaurant, I could actually smell faint cooking odors on the balcony, instead of the natural scent of the grass, which was a bit disappointing. Sometimes, the noise from the lawnmowers was quite loud. The hotel lobby bar had some real books for quiet reading, which was a nice touch. Across from the hotel is Zhangbei Park, which is worth a visit. The hotel is also very close to the Oncology Hospital, Dayun Metro Station, and Sam's Club.FromPKR 31,114

I really like this Westin, it’s on a tight quiet street with beautiful night time views of Windows of the World. Connected to Holiday Park Mall but it still feels peaceful.
Minor weird things: drip coffee machine with no pod. TV has fewer English channels than my last visit. Robes are not for curves. All soap is locked to the counter or the shower—none for the tub.

Overseas Chinese Town Shenzhen|7.6km from city centre
This will be a very mixed review. We've stayed at this hotel before and absolutely loved it, so I decided to celebrate my birthday here. I mentioned this in the comments, as I especially wanted to swim in the outdoor pool on my birthday. When we checked in, the staff informed us that the pool would be closed on July 27th for maintenance. This was incredibly upsetting. However, the staff member did try to improve the situation by offering a late check-out on our departure day so we could swim more. It also turned out that there's no dinner buffet from Monday to Wednesday, and the park shows only happen on weekends. Overall, my birthday at the hotel had to be changed to a birthday in Shenzhen. At least we got to swim the next day. And that's not all: the first time we stayed, my son and I had the same type of room, but on the 8th floor. It was perfectly clean. This time, we were given a room on the sixth floor: moldy curtains, and a not-so-clean bathroom floor and walls. If I wasn't comparing it to the previous room, it would be fine, but I can't help but compare. No complaints about breakfast - it was excellent. The lobby bar has great coffee, drinks, and service. When we checked out, the employee Jeck Cheng really soured my mood. I asked about the deposit refund, and he said it would take three days. I replied that it was refunded immediately last time, and the check-in staff also said it's usually immediate. His response was, ”Then talk to her.” I went to the female staff member, who was very pleasant and processed the refund immediately. Later, we left our luggage with the same employee. He spoke with a very unfriendly demeanor and didn't seem to listen: he wrote the room number incorrectly twice, even though I repeated it several times in English and Chinese. It was clear that I was annoying him. Honestly, this really disappointed me. I had expected only the most pleasant emotions from this hotel, especially for my birthday. The experience turned out to be ambiguous.FromPKR 44,874

## View & Hygiene:
Initially, I was given the room shown in picture 2, which was almost a corner room, a good 10-minute walk down the corridor. I had booked a direct sea-view room, so having a big tree blocking the view was completely unacceptable. I immediately contacted the front desk, and it took them 20 minutes to arrange the room in picture 1 for me. However, it was already 5 PM, and the room still hadn't been cleaned, which was ridiculous.
The room didn't have any musty smell and was well-maintained. There were urine/water stains on the sofa, and when housekeeping came, they simply flipped the sofa cushion over to hide the stains, and that was it.
## Service:
The hotel staff were quite enthusiastic, and there were many activities, making it suitable for families with children. The public areas were also great for photos. You couldn't go to the beach at night, and there was only a fire dance performance. The pool closed at 8 PM, so there was nothing to do but stay in the room at night, which was very boring.
## Facilities:
The outdoor pool was very small, only suitable for children. If you wanted to swim outdoors, you had to pay an extra 40+ yuan for the Sky Pool, which only opened at 5 PM and came with complimentary drinks.
There was no private beach (they said the government didn't allow it). To get into the sea, you had to join the crowds of other tourists. Also, you couldn't swim in the sea here; the waves were big, so you could only ride the waves on a swimming ring, which was more for kids.
## Dining:
There were McDonald's, KFC, and Starbucks nearby, but nothing else. We had all three meals at the hotel, costing around 100-200 yuan per person. Breakfast was over 100 yuan per person, and it was very ordinary. A bowl of noodles was literally three mouthfuls – incredibly stingy. There was a bit of fruit and bread that was edible, but we had no choice but to make do.
## Other:
The parking lot had no charging stations, making it unfriendly for electric cars.
Overall, 3/5 stars, with the beachfront environment being a major letdown.FromPKR 33,635

Yantian (Dameisha & Xiaomeisha) Shenzhen|26.99km from city centre
First off, the check-in time was indeed quite long, but it's understandable given it was peak summer season. They even offered drinks while we waited, which was a nice touch! As an InterContinental member, I also received two complimentary drinks at the bar.
The hotel's facilities are excellent. I went for a spa treatment while my child and husband went swimming – a perfect arrangement. As soon as I finished my spa, the butler notified me that our room key was ready! There was also a welcome fruit platter in the room.
The room's view was absolutely unbeatable! We truly felt at home and enjoyed every moment.
However, I actually found the breakfast to be even better than the dinner buffet. The oil-splashed noodles at breakfast were delicious 😋, and the chef who made them had such character, clearly demonstrating his passion for food. I really admire him! Thumbs up to him! 👍
For dinner, the seafood wasn't very fresh; the oysters and crab meat were quite loose. Plus, on the second night, we wanted to try the Southeast Asian restaurant, but upon arrival, many dishes were unavailable, which was a bit disappointing, so we left to eat elsewhere. Also, the restaurant closes at 9:30 PM.
Overall, having stayed at this hotel over 10 years ago, returning now with my child, I still highly recommend it! The pool and beach are amazing, offering great privacy for guests! We will definitely be back 😊FromPKR 57,394

Shenzhen Coastal City, Shenzhen Bay Control Point Shenzhen|12.47km from city centre
Every time I visit Shenzhen, I stay here. This time, I met Sally, who was professional and efficient! She patiently helped us with all our questions, making the check-in process incredibly smooth. She even prepared amenities and gifts for the kids in advance. The cookies were absolutely delicious!
The hotel itself, as always, boasts its biggest advantage: convenience! It's right next to MixC World and Coastal City, offering great food and shopping options. Shenzhen Bay Port is a mere 10-minute drive away, or you can take the subway from the station right downstairs, which is only two stops direct to the port! Super convenient!FromPKR 29,751

Lo Wu Control Point, Lo Wu Railway Station Shenzhen|6.05km from city centre
This hotel is a long-standing star hotel in Shenzhen, full of a sense of history. The walls from the second to third floors are adorned with photos of visiting dignitaries, entertainment stars, and athletes from various countries, showcasing its past glory. The dragon-patterned elevator in the lobby also possesses an artistic beauty and is quite unique. Upon check-in, the friendly front desk staff thoughtfully upgraded me to a river view room. Outside the window was the Shenzhen River, with the natural beauty of Hong Kong on the opposite bank. In the evening, I even enjoyed a splendid sunset from my room – it was absolutely breathtaking. The hotel's gym and restaurant are also worth commending. In terms of transportation, it's only about a 10-minute walk from the hotel to Luohu Port and Shenzhen Luohu Railway Station, which is very convenient. The only thing to note is that after exiting Luohu Port and taking the escalator on the left (towards Heping Road), you'll need to cross a sky bridge to reach the hotel. If you can't find the sky bridge, it's easy to get lost around the railway station. Additionally, ordering takeout is very convenient; there's a takeout locker on the first floor for self-pickup, though you need your room card to use the elevator, so delivery can't reach your room door. Also, this hotel has a lot of foreign guests, making it a perfect choice for those crossing the border to Hong Kong. I will definitely stay here again. The happiest part was that during my stay, I happened to encounter the 2026 Antiques and Art Exhibition on the third floor, where I saw many genuine paintings by famous artists and precious antique collections – it was a real feast for the eyes ❤️FromPKR 14,132

Dongmen and Shuibei Shenzhen|6.11km from city centre
Overall, I'm quite satisfied with the room, but there are a few points the hotel really needs to address:
1. There are eight USB charging ports by the bed, but six of them were broken.
2. I personally think there should be some USB charging ports on the desk, which would be much more convenient.
3. There should be an additional mirror on the desk so I don't have to go to the bathroom every time I want to use one.
The hotel's location is good, and I'm very happy with the environment. I'll definitely be back next time.FromPKR 15,289
