💬 What guests say ★ 4.3 · 58 reviews
The room was bigger than expected, and the newly renovated facilities looked much cleaner. Soundproofing was good too, and it was very quiet at night. The front desk staff were friendly and even helped plan nearby routes during check-in. The bed was comfortable, toiletries were sufficient, and the attention to detail…
For just over 400 per person, you can stay in a sea-view room like this. The floor-to-ceiling window offers a great view—blue sky and white clouds right outside. Really great value for money.
The room was decent. The service was warm and attentive.

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 →
