South China Harbour Horizon Hotel

This hotel has a 5A rating, but I am not quite sure what that means; maybe 5 Arguments against staying here: 1. BIG ROOMS, POORLY UTILIZED: Huge bedroom with lots of empty space. Not even table for dresser to put your purse or small packages; very large, spacious bathroom with a tiny shower, and very little countertop space for your personal toiletries. 2. BATHROOM BLINDS: extremely dirty and dusty. 3. COMPLIMENTARY ITEMS: We had to call to have them re-stock tea and lotion. 4. GIFT SHOP: Does not exist in this hotel. So, if you need anything like aspirin, tissues, pen, Q-tips, etc., you will have to go for a walk to find the nearest store. 5. HOTEL RESTAURANTS: They list two, but they really have only one. The other one is for "VIP" guests who have booked a wedding or some other affair. Finally, my roommate mentioned that she could smell the food wafting up every morning. She didn't seem to like that. Now, Some Good Things: Hotel staff was friendly and courteous. A few spoke passable English. Breakfast buffet was free and well-stocked with both Chinese and Western food items. And, eggs were cooked to order. The maintenance man (had problems with our toilet and air conditioner) was courteous and friendly, and he responded quickly to our concerns. The location isn't bad if you don't mind walking. You can walk to the subway station. And, getting a taxi in the area was not difficult, either. We had three people in a twin room, and they happily supplied bed linen for the third person at no extra charge. Room rate was reasonable for a holiday weekend: 338RMB/53USD

We stay in this Ocean Hotel Tianjin China many time when we take the Princess Cruise from Tianjin.The reson we like about this hotel is they had a large room on the 29-32 th floor like a apartment with beautiful (A style River View room).The price is great and the front desk is very friendly and helpful.The Hotel is not brand new but is center local near the shopping center and the train station is few minutes away.Cross from the hotel is a nice park for us to explorer .I will stay here again.

Room huge; lots of room for 3 beds. Huge bathroom with bathtub & separate walk in shower. Walkin shower poor design & workmanship; water came out of the screen door & flooded the floor. Carpet in room needs a good vacuum or replace, otherwise everything in good working order. Breakfast buffet good choice of western & Chinese. Strange; they only provide chopsticks & Chinese soup spoon. Ask waiters for fork & knife, which they keep out of reach. Hotel out of town centre a bit but plenty of taxis available & cheap.
