I stayed at the Meilun recently for a business trip to Fuzhou. The hotel was excellent. Super value for the modest price. The room was very clean and just the right size (personally I really don't like over sized hotel rooms). Everything worked. Very comfortable bed. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. Special mention to the concierge who walked me around the neighborhood looking for an ATM. ||Fast free Wifi throughout the hotel. ||Breakfast was fine, good variety of Chinese and Western. ||If you are looking for extra water, snacks and so forth there is a super friendly super cheap convenience store out of the hotel, turn left and then left again. ||If you speak a little Mandarin it will help, but the staff do try their best to communicate in English. ||Just one small point to improve.

Hotel seemed clean enough and didn’t smell like cigarette smoke everywhere.|3. WI-FI was surprisingly fast (very impressed)|4. Shower water pressure and temperature are very good and stable.|5. Buffet is surprisingly tasty.|6. Service is pretty good.||However, the bed I slept on was so hard, it might well have been just a wooden board with sheets on it. If you don’t like hard beds, then definitely make a clear request before booking this hotel.||All in all, if in Fuzhou for business and just need a quick and easy place to stay (location is right in middle of downtown), this would be a...
