AI Summary
The location is excellent, close to the pier, pedestrian street, and night market. Guests liked the comfortable bedding, spacious rooms, and panoramic views. However, there were no notable disadvantages mentioned.

Although it's an old hotel and the facilities are old, the location is really good. The room we booked had a great view of the beach and the port. It was a bit noisy, but the overall experience was good.

It looks like a five-star hotel, better than the Hilton next door. At the Hilton, there was no one to help with luggage, and the service was not good, not as good as in China. This Shangri-La is pretty good.

The hotel has a great location, right by the pier and many good restaurants, making it very convenient for sailing excursions. While the hotel is quite old, the facilities are inevitably dated, but the hygiene standards are excellent, with many Japanese employees. The pool water seems to be filtered seawater, which is quite unique.

The room was spacious and very comfortable. They replenished water for free every day, which was very helpful.

The room was okay, with an outdoor pool and, surprisingly, an outdoor ping-pong table, which the kids loved. The location is great, close to the pier and night market, and there are many good restaurants downstairs. The hotel doesn't offer Chinese service. One downside is that the first floor is very large, and without any notice, the two rooms were quite far apart on the first day. On the second day, they were moved closer together.

It's close to the pier, and it's convenient to go to the public swimming pool and night market. The room is a bit old, but it's okay.

Although the room is not as big as in China, it is clean and tidy. The service response is fast. The location is next to the pier, which is very convenient for going to the sea and the night market. However, the breakfast is quite monotonous.
