When we walked through the residential area to the hotel entrance, I thought, 'Oh no, this looks like a budget hotel from 10 years ago.' But as soon as I stepped into the lobby and saw the decor, I was relieved, thinking I hadn't made a bad choice after all. The staff were incredibly friendly, greeting everyone and always ready to help with any questions.
📍 **Location Advantage**
The hotel is on Xianzhou Island, offering a quiet escape while still being conveniently located. The scenic lake road is right outside, there's a coffee shop within 200 meters, a teahouse a 10-minute walk away, and plenty of restaurant options nearby. There's also a trendy park in the vicinity. It's not isolated yet peaceful, perfectly meeting my requirements.
🏠 **Facilities**
There's a laundry room, gym, and outdoor parking with charging stations nearby. The laundry room has separate washers and dryers, and even an ironing machine. You can also leave a note for staff to deliver your laundry to your room. The only downside is the elevator; it's quite small, and there's only one, so you might have to wait during peak hours.
🍽️ **Breakfast Buffet**
The breakfast offers a good spread: Chaoshan congee, rice noodles, salad, handmade steamed buns, fried items like fries and popcorn chicken, simple pastries, corn, eggs, and more. The toaster and coffee machine are standard, but the baked sweet potatoes were a fantastic touch. For this price point, the breakfast more than satisfied our family's needs.
I'd recommend booking a room with breakfast included. We didn't see any breakfast places within walking distance. Alternatively, you could drive to [Han Shang Lou] for dim sum.
🛏️ **Room Layout**
The room was quite spacious. The king-size bed was 2 meters wide, and the bedding was comfortable, perfectly accommodating our family of three. There's a two-seater sofa and a round table, perfect for doing homework. When I moved the sofa to the bedside as a barrier, the wooden floor underneath was clean, and the air conditioning was noiseless – these two points were a big plus for me. We also received complimentary small gifts, like heated eye masks.
The entrance area features a clothes drying rack and a vanity. The bathroom has a separate wet and dry area, and the shower stall is spacious. The only drawback is the lack of a full-length mirror [crying emoji], and the overhead lighting in my room made applying makeup a bit inconvenient. Unfortunately, the toilet sometimes flushes immediately when you sit down, which is a bit odd.
🫶🏻 **In summary, it's clean, quiet, and offers great value for money.**
