Jinjiang Star Hotel

The staff are very accommodating, good location, very near to MOA and other places.

I enjoyed staying at this hotel because the place is so clean and everything is quite new. The staff are nice and accomodating. It's easy to get around the area because you can order food and booked a car on online apps. I will definitely come back again.

Cleaning staff are very friendly and always greet you not much with the reception staff. Rooms are big and clean but has a very strong cigarette smell. If you don’t like the smell of cigarette then this is not for you. Air condition at the room is very cold while at the reception while you wait for check in is very hot. There is a chinese buffet restaurant at the hotel which is not expensive and a wide selection of food.

I never expected to see a budget friendly hotel with the amenities i usually see when i travel to china. Good for having a personal quality time.

The original price of the room was ₱1,800, but I got a discount through Trip.com and only paid around ₱1,400. At first, I wasn't expecting much from the hotel and thought it would be just a simple and ordinary place to stay. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how clean, neat, and fresh-smelling the room was. It had a clothes rack for hanging clothes, tissues, a water kettle, complimentary coffee, slippers, and other useful amenities. The room also had a large TV and a well-functioning air conditioner. The blanket smelled fresh, and the bed and pillows were soft and comfortable, making it easy to get a good night's sleep. Overall, the hotel offered great value for money and exceeded my expectations. It was definitely worth more than what I paid.

I didn’t take any pictures but the room was very clean and lovely. However, there was a major issue: everything smelled of cigarettes from the hallway to the room. Even with the air conditioning on and the window open, the smell was inescapable. This was a nightmare for my family, who can’t stand cigarette odour. The staff were very accommodating and let me change rooms once due to the smell but it didn’t really help. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to non-smokers. It’s quite uncomfortable. While it’s stated that smoking is not allowed, the staff explained that people smoke in their rooms and the smokers can’t stop. I also booked mahjong because I thought it was the largest room but it’s a Chinese game so if you don’t play mahjong just pick something else. It doesn’t make the room bigger anyway.

The room was nice and clean. The staff were very approachable, polite, and friendly, including the security guard. The toiletries were also complete. However, my biggest issue was the cigarette smell. As soon as we entered the room, we could already smell cigarette smoke. The front desk informed us that some rooms may have a cigarette odor because smoking appears to be allowed in certain rooms. The smell became less noticeable after a while, but whenever we turned off the air conditioner, it would come back. I also noticed that many Chinese guests were gathered in the waiting area in front of the front desk, where there are couches. They were quite loud while talking sometimes it sounded like they were arguing. 😅 What disappointed me the most was that even the buffet area smelled like cigarette smoke. The food was not particularly impressive, and the cigarette odor made the dining experience even less enjoyable. I would not recommend this hotel for families with young children or for guests who are sensitive to cigarette smoke. It may be difficult for the hotel to address this issue if a large portion of their clientele are smokers. It's a pity because the hotel itself is nice, the rooms are clean, and the staff provide excellent service.
