Although many China hotels are already advertising themselves as smoke-free premises, the problem of inconsiderate guests smoking in their rooms is still very common! And somehow, these smokers also like to leave their door open and let the cigarette smell linger into the corridor and affect others! Hope the hotel management can do more in this area. ||||Overall, the stay here was ok. The lobby area and the lifts looked kind of dated, but the room was clean and shower area was surprisingly reasonably sized. I enjoyed the shower very much as the water pressure was just right! However, only after I had used the toiletries did I realized that the hair conditioner provided was manufactured in 2016/11 (see pic attached) and it was stated on bottle that it can last for 2 years which means expiry date is supposed to be 2018/11. I stayed at the hotel in Dec 2018, so it certainly wasn't a nice feeling to pay $100+ a night to use expired toiletries! Location-wise, the hotel is in an area with lots of restaurants/eateries around, not much in the morning, but esp lively at night. Guess the selling point of this hotel would be the novelty of sleeping in a clean room on a cruise ship, plus the convenience of walking back after dining/drinking at night. Otherwise, you may be better off choosing somewhere nearer to the places you...
Read moreHaving spent three days in Futian Qu District of Shenzhen we decided to get closer to the Shekou Ferry Terminal to return to HongKong international airport. We booked the Cruise in on line based on its close location to the ferry terminal and star rating.||When we arrived at Sea World Square, which is a pedestrian mall, we were looking for a normal hotel building and it took us a while to realise that the Cruise Hotel is actually a large ship and the rooms are modern cabins. We were made most comfortable by the reception staff, who spoke perfect English and were eager to help. The ship is located in a large pool area, surrounded by modern chinese and western restaurants, shops and walkways. The ship has its own micro brewery on board and we tasted their brew. At night the whole area came alive with people, lights and a spectacular water fountain show every half hour.On checking out the staff arranged for transport and portered our bags to the taxi.Would highly recommend this hotel ,keep in mind that the rooms are cabins not...
Read moreWe live in Hong Kong, coming to the Sea World, SheKou (snake’s mouth) is a day trip, mini getaway for us for some weekends. It’s a holiday area for the locals - very quiet and we can chillout as it’s far from any city centres. 50mins ferry ride from the HK-Macau Ferry Terminal you will be here. Cruise Inn in the heart of the Sea World has been a place we wanted to stay at but didn’t have a chance until this weekend! It’s converted from an old French cruise ship back in the 80’s, as the main icon in this Sea World holiday district. Everything in the area is developed around this hotel and are designed with a theme of the ocean and seaside. In fact, it is a theme park with many bars and restaurants. You can find all sorts of food and drinks, from NE Chinese, Thai, to European and Mexican. The hotel itself is pretty much keeping the old sea-world-look, believing not much been changed from the 80’s, but super clean. Staff are super nice and speaking very very good English. Highly recommended if you’re around...
