The room was clean, with wooden floors and furniture that had a nice, refined feel. The bed was comfortable, and I slept soundly. The hotel is near a main road, so transportation is convenient. There's a park and a commercial street nearby, both within walking distance. The front desk was efficient, and check-in went…
The wooden floor feels warm and smooth underfoot, and the room is so quiet you can hear your own breathing. The mattress strikes just the right balance of soft and firm—lying down, your whole body relaxes. Autumn light spills through the window, making the drowsy afternoon feel even lazier. The bedding is clean and…

Good to know
Does this hotel accept foreign guests?
Star-rated hotels — especially chains and anything four-star and above — almost always register foreign passports as routine. Smaller local hotels sometimes lack the foreign-guest license. Since 2024 hotels officially may not refuse foreign guests: if refused, call or SMS 12345. Book refundable when unsure.
How do I get there?
Show the big Chinese name above to any taxi or DiDi driver, or tap Find in Amap for turn-by-turn navigation. The Chinese name is what drivers read — English names are rarely recognized.
What does the star rating mean?
China's official hotel star rating is assessed by tourism authorities (GB/T 14308 standard): ★★★ = comfortable and reliable, ★★★★ = high-end with full services, ★★★★★ = luxury. It certifies quality, not foreign-guest policy — that's why we flag it separately.
How do I pay there?
Set up Alipay or WeChat Pay with your foreign Visa/Mastercard before you fly — QR payments work at virtually every hotel. Foreign credit cards are accepted at the front desk of most star-rated hotels. Full payments guide →
