Ruiwan

Stayed there for a week prior world got locked down. Room was very confortable. Staff was extreamly courteous. They have Indian chef , who made sure i get indian breakfast and lunch. He was so courteous that he wrote vegetarian menu for my dinner in chinese. All staff were always wearing a smile. Just wish they had some english television channels. Gymnasium was excellent.

Hotel was ok, pretty good for China and conveniently situated near Starbucks, macdonalds etc. The Chinese restaurant was really good, huge selection and huge portions but the order in which you select dishes will be the order in which they arrive. We ended up with the veg dish after we finished all the other dishes. All dishes were good, the ground floor bar was comfortable although the waitress kept running around the hotel looking for cold beers. They were good girls though. Would use again

I’ve stayed here in the past and it has always been a horrible place but the company books it so we must stay here. Be warned they don’t speak English very well. I checked in at 16:30 to be told my room wasn’t clean and after fifteen minutes of commotion I was handed a key, no sleeve, no info just a key. The room was a sauna, I turned on the AC and after an hour it didn’t seem to be doing much good. So I went for a two hour walk and dinner thinking it would be better when I got back. I returned and it was still hot. I called the manager who sent up a fan and I was told they were reducing their energy usage and that’s why the AC didn’t work on a 24c day. The fan didn’t help much by the way which is why I am awake right now typing this. Turning to the TV, flat screen but poor picture. Checked out the channel guide and was pleased to see HBO and CNN (English news being its value) but neither were on the TV settings. Found out they were canceled. Went to take a shower but the water flooded the bathroom floor. The room is dingy and dirty. Dated as well. The bed has huge sinkholes in it, must never get rotated. The hallway is dimly lit, energy savings I suppose. Sadly China is littered with these little crap hotels that function because companies have an account with them and they don’t strive to improve or provide good service. The Ruiwan reminds me of something I would expect to find in Rwanda and Tianjin. Don’t stay here, find some place better!!
