Cleanliness is good, nothing much to say except there can be flies in the toilet. There is daily room cleaning service.Location is excellent, just 5 mins walk from Beijing Lu metro station. Plenty of food choices right outside. My favourite was the Chaofa Beef restaurant (2min walk from the hotel) which costs under 10 USD per pax. The small claypot rice shop at the other side of the street was also great.The front desk service was great. Employees here go the extra mile to accommodate your requests.The main problem with this hotel is the weak soundproofing in every room. You can clearly hear footsteps of people in the corridor, and door slamming. As this hotel only occupies the 1st and 2nd stories, you can occasionally hear sounds from the 3rd storey, which is a residential area.The rooms with outside-facing windows are the worst offenders; you can hear people talking on the ground floor and if it's raining, the rain will hit the metal platform that's holding the AC exhaust and make very loud and annoying sounds (even when the window is closed). This is an architectural flaw of the building design. They should've used a different material for the platform.Although the room may say "no windows", some rooms have a window that face a corridor/wall, so your room can be affected if the light outside is turned on.Overall, this was still a great stay and I'd recommend it if you aren't sound-sensitive and want excellent...
Read moreDecent boutique hotel located near Beijing Road shopping district and Beijing Road Metro (A1 Exit). My room type is suitable for solo travellers, not sure about other room types. The wash basin is just in front of the main door, not in the bathroom and the bathroom "door" is those sliding type - not real door. Only 1 level and can be very noisy along the corridor as I've encountered a family who booked multiple rooms and they simply opened their doors and let the kids run to each others' room or talked and shout across their rooms (where my room is in between theirs). The room does not have a fridge and safe, my room has a full length window beside the room, the view is the corridor of the other side of the level, have to lower down the blind to ensure privacy. Like the convenient of having the robot to deliver my food order directly to my room. Did not get the morning breakfast deal or take the free...
Read moreI checked in at the hotel around 6 PM, but was told by the staff that the room was not ready yet and I would need to wait for about 40 minutes. After some discussion, during which I expressed my dissatisfaction, another staff member suddenly walked over and handed me the room key, saying, “Here’s your room.” The manner in which this was handled felt dismissive and left me with a negative impression.The hotel has only two floors and one elevator, but the wait time for the elevator was minimal.The breakfast area is quite small with limited seating. The food selection was modest, and if you go around 9:30 AM, many items are already gone and not replenished.On the positive side, the hotel is well-located, with a 7-Eleven and a large shopping mall nearby. The room itself was clean and well-equipped. Each guest was provided with two pillows, and the bed was...
