The hotel has a fancy name, Gemini Hotel, but it's basically a family-run guesthouse or hostel. I was transiting through Zhengzhou and just wanted a place to rest near the high-speed rail station. I booked it because of the good reviews; after a long journey, who doesn't want to feel at home? But in reality, besides the good attitude, there was nothing else. The discounted room was 181 yuan per night, but it wasn't even worth 80 yuan. I wanted to slap myself for not staying at the nearby Shangkeyou. I've stayed in so many hotels, good or bad, but I've never written a review before. This guesthouse is so bad that I had to write a long review.
1. Location: Hard to find! I used Ctrip's navigation to find it in the middle of the night, wandered around for half an hour without finding it, and finally saw a sign, but it was in an underground parking garage. I didn't know whether to go in or not. The phone number they listed on Ctrip was disconnected, which was really frustrating.
2. Facilities: Extremely dirty, especially the bathroom. The toilet seat was broken, and there were water stains left by the previous guest on the toilet paper. You couldn't bring yourself to clean anything. The bedside socket was broken. It's 2023, and this guesthouse still doesn't have an elevator; the stairs are extremely high—think twice if you're carrying heavy luggage!
3. Safety Issues. Here comes the most crucial point: if you don't care about the above, you should at least consider safety. The doorknob was loose, and there was no latch or lock from the inside; the door could be opened from the outside with a card. The front desk assured me there wouldn't be any problems, but what if something really happened? Could you take responsibility? Especially during early morning check-out, there was no one at the front desk, and the door was wide open. It wouldn't be difficult for someone with malicious intent to go up; just thinking about it is terrifying. The windows also had no latches and could be opened from the outside at any time. Seriously, if something happens, this guesthouse is your only recourse. When traveling, you can stay in harsh conditions, but you absolutely cannot stay in unsafe places!
