The hotel itself is a nice building with very large, comfortable rooms. The small swimming pool is pretty and refreshing, especially with its cold water.
Unfortunately, this is where the positives end. Sleep is almost impossible. The stone floors combined with heavy wooden furniture without gliders mean that every moved chair echoes through the entire hotel. In addition, all balconies face the pool and are used by smokers around the clock. Late at night and early in the morning, guests gather on the balconies to smoke and talk loudly, which carries directly into the rooms.
Daytime rest is also difficult, as the hotel is located right next to an elementary school. Noise starts early and continues throughout the day.
Breakfast is mainly geared toward Chinese tastes, with limited healthy or Western options. Staff is generally okay, but service is inconsistent. During my four-night stay, my room was not cleaned once, and no fresh towels or toilet paper were provided. Requests for a lighter duvet were not accommodated, and the existing one was far too warm for the temperatures.
The location is acceptable if you enjoy walking. It is within walking distance of key areas, but not particularly convenient.
Overall, while the rooms are spacious and the pool is pleasant, the noise levels, lack of sleep, and basic service issues make this hotel hard to recommend.
