I stayed here with 4 travel companions, we had 3 rooms, all smelt of cigarettes as do the hallways and restaurants. There are 'no smoking' signs everywhere but that does not deter anyone. The beds are stiff as a board and leave your body aching when you wake. These are VERY basic rooms. Only Chinese channels on TV, no english. The staff do not speak english, we spoke with them via our tour guide. The shower leaks through a man made gap in the floor and floods the whole bathroom.||||This is a VERY noisy hotel. My friend who was staying in a room on her own received strange phone calls the first night and then a man knocked on her door at 2am on the second night. He kept knocking until she answered the door. We complained the next morning, only to be told he was drunk and lost. It was a very scary experience for my friend. ||||We went to the 'western restaurant' the first afternoon we were there. My friends ordered a spaghetti dish 40 minutes before I got there and then waited another 20 minutes to receive their meals. It was simply spaghetti with bacon, onion and capsicum, not sure why it took an hour. The waitress disappeared so we could not speak to her. ||||One good thing was the laundry service. The laundry staff were efficient and helpful. I don't recommend this hotel to...

The hotel was quiet at night, lobby was nice and the people were friendly. Breakfast was not good but fine for a...
Read moreThis hotel has a wonderful lobby, and a very abundant and vibrant dining hall... However in our recent visit we stayed on the 24th and 25th floors of the hotel and they told our group that these were newly renovated rooms... Not the case... While I would rate them average, I should rate them lower... The carpets are not vacuumed and have stains... The shower has two shower heads and are very powerful.. That was a good thing... But the inside of the rooms could been much better... Pleased overall, but neither here or there... Probably would not stay at this hotel a...
