location is great, but if you drag check-in luggages, will have some draggy time with the stoney street and stairs
the amenities could be better, no body lotion and hair conditioner
room size is pretty comfortable
toilet, closet doesn't have bidet but i guess it's not the standard there, prefer bigger water flow for the shower

The hotel is very nice and the rooms are well equipped. Everything is there, also slippers and L'occitane products. The view of the city - if you have a good room - is wonderful. Ah, and the room is very clean !
On the negative side, the bed was uneven, maybe because it was used too much, so sleeping was a bit uncomfortable. Then, the rooms are not so spacious.
For one or two nights, I fully recommend coming here.
I will rather go to a more modern hotel next time because of the uneven mattress.

View from room is amazing. Room was abit small for two luggages to be opened freely. However, the location and views from the room make up for the space.

Convenient location, accessible by car but complicated, must enter from the back of the river. Good service staff, smiling, luxurious room, beautifully decorated, beautiful river view, beautiful light in the room, we stayed 3 people, not cramped, the bed is soft and comfortable, it is also a shopping area, shops close early, maybe because it is winter, welcome drink tastes great.

It is next to Huaqiao, the environment is very good, and it is close to the train station, the pier, convenience stores, etc. The facilities in the room are very good and clean. The service is patient. Not bad.
