Jinjiang Inn Xiamen railway station Vientiane City Hotel

nice and comfy but too far from the city proper, generally it's expensive and the hotel lacks on some amenities for its price, there are other Jinjiang around the city, but this is quite near from where I was a that time

The room was clean and came with an electric tea kettle. The front desk was available for late check in with no problem, though no one there speaks a word of English, so there was some confusion on the wifi password and when exactly check out time is. Because it's a national chain, they could save some of this drama by simply printing a simple poster in English with check-in and check-out times and how to access wifi. The neighborhood is convenient. but the hotel itself is stuck in some crooked alleyways, which means it is pretty quiet.

I paid 215 RMB with membership discount for a double-bed ‘business room’ - normal price 239 RMB. No reservation was needed since it was 3pm. The hotel is easy enough to find if you can read Chinese maps and it’s - at most - a 10-minute walk to the main train station so it’s relatively near. The room I stayed in - room 519 - had lots of plugs and decent wifi. There was also enough space for my luggage and a good railings for hanging up the coats. The shower was good as well. The room did stink of cigarettes, however, as smoking is still permitted.
