Holiday Inn Wuhan Riverside Hotel

For the first time in my life, I got a junior suite consisting of not two but three rooms: a living room, a bedroom and a dressing room with an ironing board. The epic view from the window of the great river added to the experience, and the welcome tea with sweets improved the mood. Otherwise, the hotel looks like a standard Chinese business-level hotel: comfortable, clean, good breakfast, where you can find food to your liking as a devotee of European cuisine and a lover of Chinese exoticism. As a consequence of all the above, I would love to return to this hotel again!

Generally hotel should be refurbished, rooms are old even if very clean. Breakfast is quite good with a good offer both chinese and european dishes Staff is very careful both at the reception and in the breakfast salon. Being beside the river few noises arrive by the street.

This hotel is located in the old building, looking terrifying from the outside. It needs to be renovated asap. Facilities and grounds of the hotel look a bit old-fashioned e.g.: in-room safe, hairdryer, onsite gym, bathroom equipment. Rooms a really small in comparison with other Holiday Inn hotels I’ve stayed at. Bathtub was surprisingly shallow (like for a baby), sink and a mirror were also located half a meter lower than they were supposed to be. It irritated me a little bit when I needed to wash my hands or brush my teeth (I needed to bend over more than I usually did). Outlets and deflectors of the air conditioning system are maintained and cleaned from time to time, but not here. I’ve been given a standard room upon check-in, but I requested to change it because of rotten smell in the bathroom (I didn’t even want to know why it smelled so bad.). Front desk staff reacted quickly and within few minutes a bellboy brought me the key-card from another room, which were on the Executive floor by the way. But, I did’t find any differences between those two rooms, except the smell. The one on the Executive floor was apparently cleaner, though had the same problem with ventilation system. In the morning I ordered in-room breakfast, which costed twice less than a buffet downstairs, and served by a kind and friendly woman. Overall, it’s a good place for having a rest between flights, but if you want experience something more, you’d rather consider another hotel.
