"For a few hundred bucks, I got a five-star experience here. I heard it's the best hotel in Fuzhou, and my stay definitely exceeded expectations. It's right next to a park, with a private walkway directly to the lakeside boardwalk – a very pleasant walk along the lake.
**Room Amenities:** Although the hotel has been open for a while, the room facilities are excellent, spotless, and look brand new. While not huge, the space is well-planned, tastefully decorated, and pays attention to details. Toothbrushes are color-coded, there were welcome fruits like oranges and apples, and they even thoughtfully provided a safety fruit knife. The bathrobes were clean, and hand soap and lotion were provided. It was a very comfortable stay. The only minor drawback was that the floor-to-ceiling window wasn't very convenient for ventilation.
**Cleanliness:** I'm a bit of a clean freak and usually wipe down everything with disinfectant wipes when I check into a hotel. I can confirm it's very clean; even the tissues weren't dirty.
**Breakfast:** Absolutely fantastic! They have live cooking stations with Fuzhou local snacks, including satay noodles and Fuzhou拌面 (mixed noodles), all with authentic flavors – no need to eat out! Other varieties are plentiful, with both Chinese and Western options, and fresh ingredients. What's rare is the wide selection of hot drinks, which is great for people with sensitive stomachs. There's a machine where you can choose from about six hot drinks like red bean and barley, and multi-grain beverages. The pastries were also delicious, not just a throw-in. The beverages were high-quality, like snow pear and white fungus soup, and I even saw bottled Beibingyang soda and wine, which I tried and found to be very good.
**Bed:** Quite comfortable, medium-firm.
**Parking:** Free parking is available, and there are plenty of spaces on the ground level. Just inform the front desk of your license plate number.
**Service:** Excellent and very heartwarming. Seeing that we were a family, they proactively offered an extra breakfast. Later, I stayed at Atour, which was around the same price, but they charged 48 yuan per person for breakfast unless you upgraded to a member to get it free – a world of difference!
**Value for Money:** Very high, highly recommended."
