Grand View

Short business trip. Location is quite far away from city centre, about 30-45 minutes by car, depending on the traffic. There is a subway station nearby though, including only one line. Hotel has a huge outside pool, which is closed during winter months. Very tiny gym and a ping pong table 👍. Food street nearby, nice. And small super markets as well. Hotel has a good buffet during weekend, huge choice of different kind of foods.

The pool is the reason I chose here and is the one saving grace. Unfortunately it's inexplicably closed from 10:30am to 4:30pm everyday?! Why? The air con is smelly. Most of the staff are very much 3 stars. Couldn't bring up a cappuccino until 2pm? Could someone not just go and turn on the coffee machine? We looked at the breakfast buffet and it looked just awful. The worst of Chinese and Western breakfast buffets. Location pretty bad for everything apart from factories. But, the pool was good and that was the main reason we came.

Booked this place because it is near a customer. How was it? This is typical China style biz hotel with " luxuary" decoration and decent prices meaning good QPR. The only complaint is that the shower area is slippery and can be dangerous....
