This hotel is absolutely, unequivocally, and completely not worth staying in. The overall experience was utterly terrible.
Figure 1 shows the TV in our room. The hotel was renovated in 2020, yet this TV is tiny, maybe 30 inches at most. It looks like a second-hand find, still bearing the Sony logo. We could barely read subtitles from the bed. And the moment it turned on, there was a huge, crackling static noise that startled us. We called the hotel, and they said they'd send someone. The technician fiddled with it for ages, saying this TV often acts up and requires us to do this and that. Seriously, for a hotel of this size, what would it hurt to get a better piece of equipment?
Secondly, to watch anything on this TV, you need a paid membership, charged daily at 10 yuan. After subscribing, we found out many movies weren't even licensed. It's ridiculous.
Finally, this TV seems to have a mind of its own. Every evening, it would mysteriously turn on by itself, blasting static noise. It happened two nights in a row, scaring us each time.
Figure 2 shows a review from another guest with the same room type, and their TV is completely different from ours. How can there be such a big difference for the same room type? Is there some hidden cost involved?
Figure 3 shows the 'city view' from our room: just a few buildings clustered together, with absolutely no aesthetic appeal.
Figure 4 shows the 'city view' from the *same* room type, but with the Oriental Pearl Tower in the distance. Isn't this false advertising?
Regarding hotel service, around 10 AM every morning, an auntie would knock on the door asking if we wanted the room cleaned. Why don't you have a 'do not disturb' option? Even hotels priced at 500 yuan a night, let alone comparable ones, offer this feature. This room costs nearly 1300 yuan a night, and you don't even have such a basic amenity? And what was truly awful was on the first morning; it was a man's voice knocking and saying 'hotel service.' If a female guest were staying alone, wouldn't that be quite alarming?
As for the location, there seems to be a school nearby that gives us a 'broadcast' precisely on time every day.
The soundproofing is also atrocious. You can hear people talking in the hallway.
The sofa was cracked and incredibly hard.
You also can't control the lights separately; it's either all on or all off. You have to fumble in the dark to turn on the bathroom light. And there are two huge spotlights by the bed that are blinding when switched on.
They're stingy with the trash cans too; there isn't one in the bedroom. The tissues are also the cheapest kind.
In short, this hotel is completely and utterly misrepresented. For 1300 yuan, you get a 300-yuan experience. Aside from the room size, there's absolutely nothing redeeming about it. The experience was extremely poor!
