I stayed in a runway view king room during the National Day holiday, and the overall experience was good. It's a great airport hotel for aviation enthusiasts.
From an aviation enthusiast's perspective, the hotel itself is a fantastic spot for taking photos. The 5th-floor terrace and some rooms offer excellent views for photographing the southern approach to Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport's west runway. The hotel rooms feature a double-window design: the inner window can be fully opened, while the outer window has a normal restrictor, allowing for ventilation but not full opening. This design effectively balances soundproofing and security with a good viewing experience. It's quite enjoyable to sit on the sofa and watch the bustling airport outside.
From a regular guest's perspective, the hotel's soundproofing is excellent. With both windows closed, the room remains relatively quiet even when large aircraft start their engines on the tarmac outside or when bird-scaring cannons are used nearby. This is a crucial feature for an airport hotel.
The hotel is connected to the terminal via a dedicated walkway, making it less than a 15-minute walk to the check-in counters, which is very convenient. The P2 parking lot is located downstairs, making car rental and return equally convenient.
The room amenities are standard for a hotel of this caliber, including a bathtub, although the bathroom felt a bit cramped overall. The garden terrace on the 5th floor is a major highlight, perfect for both plane spotting and relaxing strolls in the garden and on the lawn.
Service was warm and attentive. During breakfast and dinner buffets, order was well-maintained. When children cried, staff proactively assisted parents in calming them down, striving to maintain a quiet and comfortable dining environment. Pool management was also very good; even with large crowds during the National Day holiday, the changing rooms remained clean and orderly.
Regarding dining, I tried breakfast, the evening buffet, and the Chinese restaurant. Breakfast offered a rich variety, with comprehensive congee, noodle, egg, and pancake stations, and some daily variations. The evening buffet and Chinese restaurant were generally decent, and the dinner even featured a live singer, creating a pleasant atmosphere.
I have two suggestions for future improvements. First, parking guidance. The hotel has its own parking area on the L floor and also uses the airport's P2 parking. It took some effort to find the L-floor parking area on my first visit, and I hope the signage and guidance along the way can be improved. Second, there are several steps between the L-floor parking area and the hotel lobby, which is inconvenient for guests with luggage. I hope a ramp or other accessible pathways can be added in the future.
Overall, it was a great stay. It's an ideal choice for guests needing to catch a flight, rent a car, and especially for aviation enthusiasts. I would consider staying here again on my next visit to Shenzhen.
