Our family had the opportunity to stay at a hotel last week, which we chose because of its rich history and the promise of an immersive cultural experience. Though we were aware that it was an older establishment, we were excited to learn more about its background and the stories it held. Unfortunately, our excitement quickly turned into disappointment as we faced several challenges from the moment we arrived. Upon our arrival, we discovered that we had been directed to the wrong wing of the hotel. We found ourselves in the section we had not booked, which was puzzling and frustrating. The bellboy’s response did little to ease our confusion. Rather than offering assistance, he simply pointed us in the direction of the correct wing, leaving us to navigate the situation on our own. The check-in process was disappointingly swift, almost mechanical, as if the staff were merely going through the motions rather than genuinely welcoming us. This lack of warmth made us feel like unwelcome visitors rather than valued guests. Our initial shock escalated when we opened the door to our room. To our horror, we found a cockroach scuttling across the floor, clearly on the hunt for food. This was not the first impression we had hoped for. Furthermore, the carpet in the room was stained and dirty, and the same could be said for the washroom, living room, and balcony. It was clear that the hotel was not receiving the level of maintenance one would expect from a 5-star establishment. Breakfast was another letdown. The offerings were minimal and lacked variety, and the service did not add any comfort to our experience. While the hotel does boast a beautiful exterior and some lovely public areas, it was evident that the overall maintenance and service standards were severely lacking. Given our experience, I cannot in good conscience recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a pleasant and high-quality stay.

I went there just for the reviews of the hotel with a sense of age. The Heritage Wing is indeed very old, and the building and room decoration style are quite good. As for the service, the guy at the door and the guy who replenished the room every evening were quite enthusiastic, the front desk was mediocre, and the restaurant basically had no service, which is still a big gap compared with international hotel groups. There are too few types of buffet breakfast. I must say that the Ctrip booking page of this hotel does not show which room type is what type of layout, whether it is street-facing or sea-view. I saw a comment that the room reserved for Ctrip is not in a good location. I feel the same way. I was given a room facing the street. The sound of cars and motorcycles at night is very noisy. If you want to experience the sense of history, you can stay here, otherwise the cost performance is not high.

入住經歷極不愉快。總共入住2晚,入住時被分配到2面臨街的房間,完全看不到海景,而且噪音非常大。和酒店協商換房,一開始酒店咬定我定的房型(高級套房)就是最低價格的,所以就是就衹能給最差的房間,所以堅持不給換,除非加價RMB2000每晚,後來經過查詢攜程價格發現我定的房型價格高於其他基礎房型,在酒店官方網站查詢也顯示我定的房型價格並不低於其他基礎房型。把這些訊息給他看了,鑒於此酒店答應換房了,但是説衹能不加價換一晚,第二晚需要換回來,因為第二晚酒店滿房了,想到能換一晚也好就答應了。之後回房整理好行李回到前台換房卡了。沒想到精彩的才開始。前台説換必須加100馬幣,我回懟説為什麼你們出爾反爾,答應了的事情又反悔,前台扯了一堆前後矛盾的理由,意思就是你不加價就別想要換了。當時真的太生氣了,拍了桌子很大聲的質問他。旁邊入住的人都側目了,最終前台服軟説是他的問題,加價的100馬幣他來出,直接2晚的房間都換了。原來不是沒房啊,就是欺軟怕硬,千方百計用一些搞笑的理由來拒絕你合理的要求。 期間攜程還是很負責的幫忙在協助溝通,雖然沒有什麼實際的效果。 這個酒店網上負面的評價已經非常多,我也是不信邪,最終踩坑了。所以其他人看到這條評價的話勸你能避坑就避坑吧。

在東家住了兩晚,分別入住勝利翼和遺產翼,房間都很乾凈漂亮,面朝大海。遺產翼房間送一瓶紅酒,早餐和游泳池多一份選擇

酒店提供的早餐非常豐富,十分之美味!服務員非常專業。美中不足是酒店內的電視尺寸十分之細,畫質很差;好象是十多年前的產品!
