So I don’t like writing negative reviews but I feel I’ve got to here. I was really excited and looking forward to our stay at the Pullman, as I’ve stayed at Pullman resorts all around the world, and this is bottom of the heap! The one thing I was looking forward to was an indoor heated pool to swim in after being out all day. It’s called Pullman resort and spa… yet there is only an outdoor pool (and it’s currently 7 degrees) unless you book a private villa. We get to our room and to be honest it felt pretty dated compared to other Pullman’s I’ve stayed in. It feels like the Pullman that Pullman forgot about. The safe didn’t work and locked my passports in it and I had to get hotel staff to come get them out. It is FAR from soundproof, to the point my partner heard the neighbour fart through the walls, and we got woken up multiple times at some crappy hour by someone’s door banging shut. ||Next thing which was not so great, was the almost complete lack of English (only one staff member spoke English) and I don’t mean that to sound privileged or bratty as we were obviously in China, but it was beyond a joke. I’ve travelled multiple times around the world, and always the hotel staff has spoken English. Checkin could only be done via google translate! Next up, I tried to order a cake and an electric car turned up 😂. The reception staff were lovely and tried their best but if you were someone who didn’t use a mobile phone, have access to google translate, or were from the older generation, you’d be absolutely stuffed. If we’d have booked an obscure Chinese hotel I’d be expecting that but we chose an international brand hotel to try make thing a a bit easier, to which we just found it easier to organise tours and activities ourselves rather than asking hotel staff for help (even though that is offered).||Finally, wifi is no good at all. Requires a Chinese phone number or WeChat but when selecting WeChat error codes were displayed despite WeChat being successfully installed and working on the device, so again we just had to test her our mobiles. ||The positives: it is close to Shuhe old town and is clean but that’s about it. ||Soooo, hate to say but all in all I wouldn’t stay here again and definitely wouldn’t recommend.
