At 666 Taihong Road, the building has a French palace style and looks quite grand. The room was spacious, and the bedding was comfortable. Service was good—Jenny was very attentive, and Audrey helped arrange things for regular guests. It was clean and well equipped, and there are often business travelers here.…
The room was quite spacious and nice, with style—truly luxurious! The front desk guy upgraded me, so I have to give a thumbs up! Breakfast was also great, very plentiful! The only downside was that the room safe could lock but not open, so I had to call the front desk to open it.
The room amenities were quite good, French style, but the carpet had a strange smell when the air conditioning wasn't on strong cooling. The bathroom was spacious. I arrived at the hotel at 1:30 AM.

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 →
