GGuest UserThis was my first time visiting Chaoshan, and Shantou was our first stop. We stayed at the Manxi Hotel, which is conveniently located near Longyan South Food Street and has shared e-bikes nearby. I really have to praise the front desk staff – both the young lady and gentleman were incredibly attentive and thoughtful. We arrived around noon after an early flight, which was before check-in time. I asked the gentleman at the front desk for food recommendations, and he thoughtfully sent us a food guide he'd typed out himself, character by character! So we left our luggage at the hotel and headed to the food street. When we returned after eating, our room wasn't ready yet as the previous guests hadn't checked out. While we waited, I got several mosquito bites! The front desk lady then brought me mosquito repellent to use and even placed their own mosquito coils near us. I was so touched by their thoughtfulness 🥹.
Once we checked into the room, it was incredibly spacious. The hotel had all the amenities you'd expect, and on top of that, they thoughtfully provided disposable toilet seat covers, disposable towels, and even conditioner. I have to complain about some 300-500 yuan hotels that offer very few disposable items and rarely conditioner. This hotel had everything, and the price was very good value for money. The toilet was smart, and the hairdryer was amazing – finally, not one of those difficult ones you have to keep pressing a button on! The room was also spotlessly clean with no strange odors. They even had mosquito repellent plugged in, and the bathroom had a separate wet and dry area. The double vanity with a huge smart mirror made for a super great experience.
Originally, we only planned to stay one night in Shantou and then go to Chaozhou or Nanao Island. But because the hotel's service was so attentive and the stay was so pleasant, we decided to extend our stay for another night. Oh, I almost forgot! While we were waiting downstairs for our room, the front desk gentleman noticed we had been waiting for a while. After we checked in, he even ordered some local preserved fruit for us. I felt a bit embarrassed, but he was truly wonderful. Thank you for the fruit!
The only thing I noticed was that I didn't see a comb (I didn't ask, I had my own 😁). Besides the fantastic stay at Manxi Hotel, the food in Shantou was also amazing. Having such a comfortable hotel stay definitely enhanced the overall experience. I slept incredibly well at night – I didn't even want to leave the bed! 😁 Overall, Manxi Hotel is clean and tidy, with smart rooms, and offers an incredibly great stay. Sisters visiting Shantou should definitely consider staying at Manxi near Longyan South Food Street – highly recommended!
