"+ great location, big, spacious rooms, very clean (with exception of horibly dirty carpets in the room). Older furniture didn't bother us at all. Lovely cleaning ladies and amazing restaurant staff and good variety and great overal breakfast.
- carptets as mentioned before, in the corridor, these are fine, in both our rooms not really. My main issue was staff at he reception and room service. now, I have hight expectations, because this should be a 5* service and I felt like it wasn't at all. At our arrival, the receptionist spoke really good english and was very nice. I asked for help with a very valuable little item I forgot in my previous Hotel in Dali. the receptionist called the hotel in Dali, but informed me that there Is not enough time to send it to Kunming (we were staying there for 2 nights). Now, I know this is my problem but I would expect 5 star hotel to be able to deliver a smal package, which is 2 hours away by train. Finally, I had it delivered to Yangshuo, much further away....
Other 2 receptionists I was in contact with spoke very little English, which is fine, but I would expect them to be a bit more proactive in using some translator app, which was no issue in other cheaper places. My question: which metro stop is the closest to the ancient city? answer: Nanping street is shopping center. question:Is there a bar in the hotel, where we could have a beer or some drinks? answer after some long explaining: in 4th floor, but it is very expensive (Pretty woman comes to my mind....) Not very helpful.
now, when I got really angry was when I called room service, officialy available 10-23:00.
22:48 I tried numerous time through their app, which gave me error while trying to pay. 22:52, I called by phone, to find a very well English speaking person, who told me without appology of any kind ”it is too late” I was confused, so I ended the call, I looked at the room service menu to check time and of course, I was right. So I immediately called back, it was maybe 15 second later and guess what? nobody answered the phone anymore. How rude was this!!! Fun fact, I didn't want to order any food or even hot drinks, all I needed was one bottle of water And one bottle of tea. So I had to dress up again And go to buy it myself. I was back to the room before 23:00.
Horrible customer service, certainly not 5 star And very disappointing experience."
