One of my German clients stayed at Wanda Realm Heshan and insisted that I help forward his five-star review to the hotel. Here is his review:
”Die Übernachtung im Wanda Realm Heshan war fantastisch! Das Hotel ist modern, sauber und mit liebevollen Details eingerichtet. Das Personal war extrem freundlich, hilfsbereit und sprach hervorragend Englisch – meine Fragen wurden immer umgehend beantwortet. Das Frühstücksbuffet war reichhaltig mit internationalen und lokalen Speisen, alles frisch und lecker. Das Zimmer war geräumig, das Bett sehr bequem und die Aussicht toll. Eine tolle Wahl für Geschäftsreisen oder Urlaub – ich empfehle es wärmstens weiter!”

Anonymous UserDespite experiencing some night noise during my stay, the hotel staff were highly responsive and took my concerns seriously. They were proactive in discussing and offering a reasonable solution, demonstrating an excellent service attitude. The compensation package was quite generous, and the issue was ultimately resolved to my satisfaction. The hotel building itself has a unique charm, and the ancient town setting is beautiful. Overall, the experience was still decent.

Guest UserThis is my second time visiting Chikan Ancient Town. My last visit was a bit rushed and I didn't get to fully enjoy it. This time, I came specifically for the International Friends Circus Parade and the dance drama 'The Grandmaster' during the National Day holiday. Although this hotel was the most expensive option, the service was truly excellent. The price also included two-day admission tickets and performance tickets, plus a Dāng Dāng tram ticket. The hotel is located in a bustling area yet is pleasantly quiet and peaceful. It has a restaurant and a swimming pool, and a shuttle bus service takes you to and from a dedicated parking lot just outside the scenic area, on demand. I heard from the shuttle driver that this hotel belongs to the same company as the San Francisco Hotel, and both are very good. The Meitang Hotel is larger and filled with Nanyang-style design. The hotel amenities are all excellent and new, feeling both vintage and high-quality. The price increase for the two days after National Day wasn't too much, and the experience was genuinely good. I give it five stars. The only minor point is that the swimming pool is a bit small, and it closes at 7 PM. I imagine most tourists would prefer to explore the town during the day and swim in the evening.

Guest UserThe hotel's location is absolutely fantastic, perched on the tip of the island with river views on both sides. It's incredibly pleasant for a run below. The room facilities are good, as expected from a well-established five-star hotel. The dining options are excellent too, with a wide variety of dishes, great value for money, and delicious food. I'll definitely choose to stay here again on my next visit.

Laolaozong1. The hotel is located in the Taicheng villa district, with quiet surroundings. Other than a swimming pool and a sandpit that are mildly suitable for younger kids, there really aren't many highlights.
2. The only parking facility is an open-air lot, making it nearly impossible to find a space during the National Day holiday. There was virtually no on-site staff to manage it, and parking order relied entirely on guests' own discretion—a complete absence of hotel management.
3. Breakfast options were very mediocre, just barely enough to fill your stomach. Both the dining service and hygiene standards have noticeable shortcomings and urgently need improvement.
4. The facilities are aging with superficial maintenance; only the basic room cleanliness barely passed. Despite carrying a 5-star label, the overall quality of the hardware falls far short of true 5-star standards. The price premium is definitely not justified.
5. The most disappointing part was the service, which completely failed to live up to a 5-star positioning. When an unexpected issue arose during our stay, the hotel's first reaction was to make excuses rather than resolve it. The Guest Relations staff handled the situation terribly—even worse than the front desk. In the end, we had no choice but to pay over 80 yuan out of pocket to fix the problem ourselves. Afterward, the hotel showed zero sincerity and offered no apologies or compensation whatsoever. This was a very poor stay, and I would not recommend it to travelers looking for quality service.

Guest UserThis time, I chose to stay at Jinxu Hotel inside Chikan Ancient Town, hoping for an immersive experience of the ancient town. However, the overall experience was quite disappointing, with many things to complain about regarding both the hotel service and the scenic area itself.
To be fair, the hotel's location is indeed a strong point—being right inside the scenic area makes getting around the ancient town very convenient. Unfortunately, the room amenities and services fail to keep up. The room telephone went unanswered despite multiple attempts, making it very difficult to reach the hotel staff in a timely manner when issues arose. The toiletries provided in the room were of extremely poor quality, especially the comb, which broke the moment I tried to use it. When we contacted the staff to request a replacement, we were told we would have to wait a long time. In the end, we checked out without ever receiving the replacement comb. The issue was never resolved, making for a terrible experience with the toiletries.
As for Chikan Ancient Town itself, the architecture features distinct Republic-era arcade-style buildings, but the family-friendly experience leaves much to be desired. Most of the town's performances are geared towards adults, with almost no shows suitable for children to watch or participate in. If you are traveling with kids, it's hard to find activities appropriate for them. Furthermore, many exhibition halls and attraction points in the ancient town were either tightly shut and closed to the public or completely empty inside. In the electricity-themed exhibition area, many interactive devices were broken and out of order. The actual content available for exploration was far less than expected, and in many places, visitors can only do a quick, superficial walkthrough, which greatly detracts from the overall visitor experience.
Overall, while the ancient town has a great architectural atmosphere, the hotel's hardware, service responsiveness, and the scenic area's attractions all have obvious shortcomings. Families traveling with children should think twice before booking.

Guest UserAs soon as you enter the resort, there is a large memorial archway with views of the water park and the Nine Horses painting—great for taking photos! The front desk is spacious and offers complimentary tea, with a café in the back where you can listen to music and relax. The first floor features plenty of children's play facilities, a leisure area, and a billiards room. The hot spring area is just a few steps downstairs, and the hotel even keeps capybaras, which the kids loved. Soaking in the hot springs at night is comfortable and has a great atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Guest UserThe room was very clean with comfortable bedding, and the in-room amenities were very convenient to use. The surrounding area is shaded by lush trees, making it a great spot for a stroll and to get some fresh air. The young lady at the front desk who handled our check-in spoke in a gentle voice, was extremely helpful and attentive; the rest of the staff were also wonderful! The housekeeping team was warm and diligent. The buffet breakfast had a good variety, but the food was quite unpalatable—it was either way too salty or completely tasteless, and nothing tasted good, which is such a waste of ingredients. The watermelon wasn't very fresh, and the bread wasn't soft. The yogurt, soy milk, and lean pork porridge were okay.
