We found this to be reasonable 4 star hotel with a great location. I did not find it nearly as run down as I have read in other reviews! Breakfast was average (mix of Chinese and Western). My Dad was thrilled that they have someone cooking your eggs as you like them in the morning. The rooms were clean and... more

The hotel was booked as part of a package deal. We were in a double room for 3 nights. We didn't use all the hotel's facilities as we were out visiting sites most of the time.
