This hotel is a beautiful old building with spacious peaceful courtyards. The location is great. However, it is very rundown - I'm not talking about faded elegance - I'm talking about neglect and poor management. I have the impression that the owners are running this place into the ground with a view to demolition in the near future, so that it can be replaced with one of the ugly, but doubtless more profitable, glass and concrete boxes that already surround it. The bathroom was filthy, covered in green and black mold. The shower curtain was filthy, torn and attached by safety pins. Hot (or rather warm) water was unreliable. The towels looked about 20 years old and some had holes in them. The room was dusty and poorly maintained, lots of small issues with things like lights and the kettle. The buffet Breakfast (Chinese style) is included, and isn't at all bad. Staff were uninterested and unhelpful - even when dealing with fluent Mandarin speakers. Toilet paper is regarded as a luxury to be dispensed with sulking reluctance only after an extended argument. Overall this is an overpriced, rundown, poorly run establishment. Avoid this hotel, try one of the many nearby hotels.
