"We went there for Easter holiday. Please get your own sim ready out of China because google translate doesn’t work there and not google maps. We got lost and thanks to our resort staff he came to pick up us. Please don’t use taxi in China as they charge you a lot. It was his mistake but we got charged so much. So please download DiDi app when you are in Shenzen. It will help u a lot. It was a rainy weather so weather was not on our side. Almost most of the restaurants near the beach were closed as the weather was windy and rainy. Staff doesn’t understand English so better download WeChat so u can communicate with each other. I found only one staff speaking English. The location of our hotel was so good. They will provide you a free hat and bag. They also have complimentary photography but the problem was a language barrier. Overall experience was good."

"I had a wonderful stay at The Ritz-Carlton Shenzhen recently. The hotel is located in the heart of Shenzhen’s Futian district, a close distance to Futian high speed rail station. We felt welcome from the moment we walked through the door with refreshing welcome drinks and friendly service. The checking process was quick and smooth. We selected a room that had access to the club lounge. The lounge is excellent, with 5 meals a day provided. The quality of the food is high and the there is a varied selection to choose from. However, i would recommend going down to the main restaurant for breakfast. What really made our stay great was the fantastic room service and general friendliness of the staff. While we were staying in the club lounge we were lucky enough to have Mandy take of us. She did an amazing job helping us with any help we needed. She was extremely professional and her communication in English was very impressive. I would definitely come and stay again, and hopefully have Mandy there to look after us during our next trip."

"This hotel provided an overall excellent experience for my trip, with meticulous attention to detail in every aspect. It truly maximized my stay. The location is great, with smooth traffic networks nearby, and it's not far from both the subway and bus stations. There are plenty of restaurants and convenience stores around, making it easy to find food and go shopping at night. It's perfectly suited for both leisure travel and short business trips. The room hygiene was very thorough. There were no strange odors upon entering, the floors and surfaces were clean, and the bedding was changed promptly. The bathroom had no standing water or unpleasant smells, and even the nooks and crannies were spotless, making it a very reassuring place to stay daily. The in-room appliances and facilities were well-maintained and looked quite new. The air conditioning provided stable cooling and heating, the TV picture quality was clear, and the whole-room internet signal was stable, making it smooth for both binge-watching and temporary work. There were plenty of power outlets, which was convenient for daily charging. The mattress had just the right firmness, so I didn't feel any discomfort lying down, and the pillows were at a suitable height. The room had good ventilation and the overall environment was quiet and comfortable, allowing for full relaxation after a busy day. The hotel's soundproofing is excellent; the doors and windows sealed tightly, so I barely heard any outside traffic noise or noise from adjacent rooms, ensuring even light sleepers can get a good night's rest. The front desk staff were friendly, and the check-in and check-out process was simple and efficient. They patiently answered any questions I had, and room service responded quickly, delivering requested items promptly. The hotel lobby and hallway common areas were tidy and orderly, regularly cleaned and disinfected, with a clean and elegant environment and a spacious and comfortable waiting area. The breakfast variety was abundant, with a full selection of hot dishes, main courses, fruits, and beverages. The ingredients were fresh and tasted good, and the food items were replenished promptly in the dining area, which was clean and hygienic. The bathroom's wet and dry separation design was reasonable, hot water supply was timely and stable, shower water pressure was moderate, and toiletries were complete, providing a great showering experience. Overall, the value for money is very high. For this price, to have such service and hardware conditions is incredibly cost-effective. There are no significant shortcomings, and I will definitely consider staying here again next time I visit this city. I also recommend it to all my fellow travelers."

"The hotel's location is perfect, right below JOYCE shopping mall! Although there's no grand lobby, the service is excellent. The front desk is on the 6th floor of Tower B, and my room was on the 21st floor of Tower C. A staff member personally guided me there. The room was clean, and the giant screen for movies was amazing! My flight was delayed due to a typhoon, and the front desk promptly arranged a late check-out for me, which was very thoughtful. The sky platform on the 6th floor is also a lovely spot for a walk. Five-star recommendation! 🌟"

Yaster International Hotel (Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport T3 Terminal Store) ★★★★
"The hotel is pleasant and reasonably priced. I believe the staff upgraded me to a larger room, but it smelled of smoke, likely from a previous guest who was a smoker. I asked to be moved to another room because I didn’t like the cigarette odor. The reception staff kindly transferred me to a smaller room with a large window. They were very helpful and attentive to my needs, even showing me how to take the bus to the metro and lending me a computer adapter. The area is surrounded by many restaurants, so you don’t have to go far—just take a walk around. The place is far from metro for me is fine with me because I’m just traveling exploring different area."

The room was spacious, bright, clean, and tidy, with excellent ventilation from all the windows, making for a very comfortable stay.
