Let's start with the positives. The hotel's location is truly unbeatable. Step downstairs, turn the corner, and you're on a pedestrian street. IFS (International Finance Square) is right across the street, and it's very close to the subway station, making it super convenient for visiting Orange Isle and Yuelu Mountain. Getting to the airport is also a breeze – just hop on Line 6 directly, and you'll be there in about an hour. It's incredibly convenient.
However, the downsides are too significant:
1. The building's exterior is undergoing renovation. You can't really relax in the hotel during the day because you'll constantly hear banging or drilling. They gave me earplugs when I checked in, but they were absolutely useless.
2. The room size is extremely small. As the pictures show, what you see is what you get. There's so little space that my 28-inch suitcase barely fit open.
3. Cleanliness: I arrived around 2 PM and was told to wait about 10 minutes for check-in because they claimed they needed to re-inspect the room's cleanliness. Initially, I thought that was quite good, having a double-check process. However, once I swiped my card and entered, there was a strange odor, like a damp rag had just been used. There were noticeable water stains on the floor and hairs that hadn't been cleaned up. As for the toilet paper in the bathroom, one roll wasn't new; it was a used one with some left.
4. The hotel's so-called afternoon tea, late-night snacks, fresh-ground coffee, and other 'amenities' – when I went to get coffee, it was just coffee from a machine served in a disposable cup.
