Lijiang Grand Hotel: Centre of town

I was concerned by reviews I had read, but we had a large room, think we had BBC World. Run the water if it isn't hot to start with. Breakfast buffet.

Unique Quality: One of the best positions of any hotel we had in China. On the edge of both the beautiful old town, and the new town (try the shoe shops!).

The local minority is Naxi so try jew-bey-sayh for thank you and ah-la-la-lay for hello!! They really appreciate it.

Jin Jiang Hotel: Kunming

Great foyer. Breakfast buffet in lobby. Restaurant upstairs. Rooms vary. The first one looked over back of hotel and was wedge shaped, bigger than usual. But friends of ours had a brick wall about 6 inches away from the window! Later we returned and had another room, again over back of hotel, but with windows, not so big.

Unique Quality: A taxi ride to centre of town. Not far from train station and supermarkets (turn right out of hotel). Turn left out of hotel, and immediately left again. Then take first right. Walk down street and you come to a mall on left. Downstairs lots of shoes, but go upstairs and better quality merchandise but you can still get items for half the ticket price.

Jin Tone: Guilin Hotel

Big room, overlooking a "well" at back of hotel, but quiet. Only hotel in China where we didn't get CNN or BBC World News.

Unique Quality: We were at north end of main street, and in the financial area. All the shops are mainly electronic but there is a general store on corner opposite. Turn right out the hotel and there is a lake with pretty lights at night.

Further south is the main square and shopping area, I would have prefered to stay in that area but we were on a tour. Being a "smaller" city, we found it a lovely place.

King Dynasty: Xi'an Hotel

We were on a tour and this was the best hotel we stayed at. Big room, BBC World on TV. Busy breakfast buffet.

Unique Quality: Close to old town (north west corner) and opposite a park. Also, turn right out of hotel and walk a couple of blocks to a supermarket. You will also pass a new "eat" street, with bars, restaurants, and shops which was still being finished when we were there.

Rainbow Hotel: Beijing

This hotel had smaller rooms than some, but it was in a quiet street, with local restaurants and close to the city centre. Interesting stuffed peacocks in the centre of the spinning doors! BBC World or CNN.

Unique Quality: Walk down to the West Gate of the Temple of Heaven and there is a small department store.
Opposite the hotel are small shops with water, beer and basic requirements.

  • Opinion of Price: less expensive than average
  • Address: South west of the Forbidden City.

Ramada Zhabei: Shanghai Hotel

The rooms may be a bit tired but then many hotel rooms in China are. But there was hot water, amenity packs in bathroom, clean king sized single beds, tea making facilities and CNN. Extensive buffet breakfast.

Unique Quality: Get used to China. Most of the staff are not trained to smile and be happy as in the west, as at this hotel.

But you are out of the town centre and only a ten minute walk to the Metro, which is easy to use (signs in English).

Nearby there are streets with a local wet market, shops and restaurants. We used them all with hand signals!

  • Opinion of Price: less expensive than average
  • Address: Zhabei, one stop on Metro from Shanghai station.

Beijing Double Happiness Courtyard Hotel: Double Happiness in Beijing

I stayed in Beijing Double Happiness Courtyard Hotel for 2 days during the first part of my trip. During the last part of the trip, about three weeks afterwards, I stayed in this hotel again - this time for 6 days. So yeah, I can say that it was a great experience!

The hotel is located in the depth of a side alley named "Dongsi 4" (if I remember correctly, the sign pointing to the alley will note: "Dongsi Sitiao" because "Si" in chinese is number 4). The alley is located a 5 minutes' walk away from Dongsi Metro Station, which stands right next to the Wu-Mart. If you're not into Chinese food, you can eat at the McDonalds that is situated right next to the Wu-Mart, too. And if you want cheap food products, snacks and such - Wu-Mart is a great place to shop for that kind of stuff. To sum up - the hotel is in a wonderful location! If the weather is good, you can walk to the Forbidden City from the hotel and it will take you only about 25 minutes.

Now - about the hotel itself: it's a nice little courtyard hotel, deisgned in a lovely, traditional way. The rooms are all situated around a medium-sized courtyard, the main color that you'll see on the carpets and walls is red, all kinds of small Chinese artifacts sit on corner tables and shelves and to get to some corridors you need to open curtains that are followed by doors. There are two floors and no elevator, so if you have problems with climbing stairs, ask for a room on the first floor.
I got a room with a single bed. When I arrived, I was afraid that the room will be really cold, because I got to China in December, but there is no need to worry about the heating. The heating is great! There is a heating system that works all the time and if you need some more heat, there's an air conditioner. But it's really - really warm there. When I went to sleep, it was so hot that I had to change to short PJs. I think that the hotel has a heating system under the beds, too. Maybe some kind of heating mattress.
The room is traditionaly designed. The sink has wonderful paintings on it, the curtains are nice and the bathroom has a glass wall that has some Chinese illustrations of fish on it, which are really beautiful. There is a TV and a computer in the room. But the best thing that is in the room is the tea, which is supplied for free. Furthermore, the hotel supplies 2 bottles of water every day for free, too. And when you come back from your trip in the city, a snack awaits you on the tidy bed.

I would recommend you to add breakfast in the hotel to your order. The breakfast that is served in the hotel's restuarant is wonderful! There are Chinese dishes next to Western food. You can eat with forks or with chopsticks. And there is a large variety of pastries. There is also cereal and bread for those who want something really light. You can have coffee, tea, or fruit juices.

At the reception you can find a list of tours that the hotel can arrange for you. The cost is fine. I went on a tour to the Great Wall through the hotel and the tour was fantastic. I also went to an acrobatics' show that the hotel arranged a pick-up to and was really happy with the service.

And now - the most important thing about the hotel - its staff:
This hotel's staff are out of the ordinary. They speak good English. From the very first day in the hotel they treated me kindly and with a smile. The bell boy helped my get my luggage to the second door, one of the staff members gave me an explanation about the room's facilities and after a while one of the staff came to bring me a basket of fruit as a welcome gift. When I needed to get some info about the city - the staff at the reception always tried their best to help me out. Once, when I was looking for Majong and asked where I could find one, they knew exactly where I should go. When I came back on my second part of my trip they welcomed me back with the same smile they did on my first stay. They remembered (even though three weeks had passed) in which room I stayed the other time and I felt very happy to be back. When I left, they brought me a box of jasmine tea as a goodbye present.

To sum it all up - wonderful place and service!

Unique Quality: There's a bar in the hotel called "Happy Bar" that sells drinks and dinner, for people who don't have the time or energy to start looking around for restuarants outside the hotel. The prices are OK.

Q-City Hotel Guangzhou: Q-City Hotel Guangzhou

I was very happy when I saw the room - a one-bedroom apartment with separate TV in lounge and another TV in the bedroom. The whole apartment is a nice size with soft beds which is a luxury in China. I was surprised to see a iron and ironing board in the closet. The kitchen does not have any plates or utensils. Only 1-2 English TV channels. The staff are very friendly and will try to help where ever they can. A lot of restaurants around the hotel. The Metro stop is about 10 minutes walk from the hotel. There is also a 7-11 right next to the hotel which is very convenient.

Unique Quality: Modern rooms!! Soft beds!
