City Inn — Hotel in Shenzhen

This hotel is older and has no frills but location is good. The hotel was clean and showers were updated. The TVs are hard to figure out but I did eventually. Hotel staff is helpful and spoke enough English to get me checked in/out. Oh, the beds are hard but I understand that's normal in China, unless you're at a Western facility. Walls are thin.||||The hotel is located at Window of the World area - cute and looks like an old German town and is located on the Green/Orange line connection which is great (be sure to visit their amazing Coastal City and Sea World restaurant/shopping districts!). There's an awesome little jazz bar just behind it called the Jazz Garden, which had decent food and an awesome craft beer selection (try their grilled oysters).||||Breakfast buffet is free daily, but be sure you understand its a standard Chinese breakfast so don't expect anything Western besides a boiled egg. Thankfully, there's a cool cafe called Milkow (I think) right in the Holiday Plaza Exit B (two cafes will be down to the left) at the WoW Station, right outside this hotel. They at least have something similar to...

If your planning to visit Window of the world theme park in Shenzen this is the best place to stay coz it's just 5 mins walk from the WOW. Also near to Window of the world train station so it's convinient. From the Shekou port I took a taxi to here around 45CNY 20mins. check in time after 2PM and check out before 12NN. Have complimentary breakfast from 7:30AM to 10PM in level 1 near check in counter. The breakfast was mostly Chinese food 😑 so I honestly didn't enjoyed, specially don't have coffee or bread or fruits or salad😑 I just ate boiled egg😝. Most of the staff speak Chinese but they are kind and attentive still sincere to help. Have two free bottle of water inside the room. Have available towel and toothbrush as well. They have small cafe in second floor so comfy and nice ambience. But the menu written in chinese only so i find it difficult good thing the staff really helpful and even used his cellphone for language translation☺️ so cute :) I like the atmosphere outside the hotel looks like in Europe side :) buildings kinda old...

City Inn is a lower-budget hotel. The location is very good with access to MTR station Window of the World right out the front of the hotel and also easy access to the large Yitian Holiday Plaza shopping centre via the MTR entrance. It was about 30 minutes and 5 yuan each on the MTR to Luohu for shopping and also transiting back to Hong Kong. Some parts of the hotel itself is a bit run down. Our room was fairly clean but could have done with some repairs such as broken tiles in the bathroom. Breakfast was traditional Chinese style only with two types of noodles, pickled vegetables and steamed sweet potato. We also had breakfast across the road at Starbucks or McDonald's. Laundry service was the cheapest we saw in China and Hong Kong at only 55 yuan per load. The staff were very helpful...
