I rarely give bad reviews. The following mainly describes the reasons from the aspects of service, facilities, environment and cost-effectiveness.
Let me start with the good things: (1) The river view, there is a small balcony, and the night view is very nice. (2) It is relatively close to Beijing Road and can be reached in less than 10 minutes on foot. (3) The Xia Jiao Mei dim sum shop downstairs has a five-star rating.
Specific reasons for the negative review: (1) The specific location of the specific room type was not clearly stated in the description: We originally wanted to book a room on Beijing Road, but after booking it, we added the housekeeper on WeChat and found out that the room we booked was not on Beijing Road, but since it had already been booked, it could not be refunded. Later I found out that the rooms of this apartment are located in different buildings in different areas. (2) The so-called five-bedroom and two-bathroom apartment is actually a renovation of a three-bedroom or two-bedroom apartment. Each bedroom is very small, except for one larger one. Three of the bedrooms only have a 1.5-meter bed and a simple clothes rack. The remaining space is only enough for one person to pass through, and even an unfolded suitcase cannot be placed. There is also a windowless tatami separated from the living room. If it is really as described in the introduction, it will be crowded if 10-12 people live there. As for the 130 square meters mentioned in the introduction, it is the estimated building area. I haven’t measured it in reality, so I’m not sure, but it feels very small. (3) There were two bathrooms. One was so small that you couldn't even turn around to take a shower. The other was spacious, but there was no hot water in the wash basin. We contacted the housekeeper and he said the angle valve was broken. We didn't have any hot water until the day we left. In addition, the shower in this large bathroom was connected to the kitchen through the same pipe. If you used hot water in the kitchen, you wouldn't have any hot water for taking a shower. Our family of seven took baths in three batches: morning, noon and evening. (4) Our room was located at Room 2102 of Wanyi Plaza, a commercial and residential building with a complex population. Our room was at the innermost part of the 21st floor, opposite a company. The whole building was very old and the environment and sanitation were average. (5) I paid a deposit of NT$200 upon check-in and stayed for two nights. I checked out at 9:00 am on the third day. In the afternoon, the housekeeper sent me a WeChat message saying that he found a hole in the leather chair. Finally the deposit was not refunded. We didn't check when we checked in, nor when we left. We made sure that no one who had stayed there had damaged anything, but since no one could prove it, there was nothing we could do if they refused to refund. (6) Bottled drinking water is only provided for one day. For 7 people, we were given about a dozen bottles, which was not enough. We needed to buy from the housekeeper, 24 bottles for 28 yuan, or buy them ourselves. This was not made clear in the introduction or during check-in. (7) I found cockroaches at the door of my room, and I consoled myself by saying, “They are common in all old buildings in the South.”
I won't comment on other things like laundry, cooking, projection TV and mahjong table because we didn't cook, use the washing machine, watch TV or play mahjong.
The housekeeper is very polite and especially likes to say "excuse me".
