This is probably my sixth or seventh stay at this hotel but it will be my last. I suspect the management has changed here again, and it shows. The room air-conditioning was utterly inadequate. Different members of staff gave different reasons for this but at the end of the day a five star hotel should have well functioning air-conditioning. They were physically switching it off. Constant complaining at the front desk got it switched back on for a while. I couldn’t get my room below 24° for the entire stay. And they even brought me a fan for it to get down for that. Not very many of the front desk staff have a decent grasp of English. Again, in a five star hotel that serves so many foreigners, English-speaking staff is a must. The Wi-Fi in the room is also inadequate. The internet isn’t western as it was. This hotel is a little way out of the main town. You have to get a taxi to and from anywhere. The taxis are very cheap so no problem on cost; the problem is with availability. Ask the front desk for the taxi and you can wait up to 30 minutes. The local taxes operate a surge system as well, so sometimes you will be asked to pay more for one to come out to the hotels location. The hotel is a lot quieter than it usually is, and I suspect reasons like I have outlined are contributory factors to that. One of my local helpers told me that “everyone” is now staying at the new Dongcheng International. That is where I will be staying next time.

The hotel looks fantastic, though don't be fooled.
The hotel was practically empty, it had a The Shining-esque feel to it. Most aspects seemed great, but ended up being disappointing. The outdoor pool is massive, but has a layer of dirt on the surface. There are three restaurants, the Brazilian restaurant had a buffet which was seemingly left untouched all day, with the meat being poor quality. The others seem very untrustworthy. The rooms were large, though clearly very old. There was a lovely bath, though the plug was too small for the plughole. A huge breakfast buffet, though much of the food was of poor quality, the yoghurts were 2 weeks out of date.There is a bar, though half the drinks aren't stocked, and the bartenders seemed to panic when asking for Cocktails that were on their menu. The actual room was clean and it was well maintained by the cleaning staff. The staff didn't speak much english, but were helpful when they tried. Not recomended.

It’s a good hotel for the price you pay. Good for business trips, as the room is spacious and comfortable. Breakfast is very limited tho, with very few fruit options.

A nice surprise
despite a "bad start" as the reservation was gone through yet - everything went out fine. Kindly, friendly, very service minded. The man from room service who came around 02.00 AM was really extreme service minded. Also Jen from Philippine was excellent both check in / out. My room no. was 391 - night between 20th - 21st August, 2016

Surrounded by green but not that convenient
The reception couldn't find my booking record and took quite some time to figure it out. And there's no option with breakfast on hotels.com, and the separately it charges 150RMB per person - that's too much!

I stayed here back when it was a Sofitel. In my opinion it has gone downhill but it is still a nice place. Tried to order wine off of their wine list but they were out of more than they had.

Still good especially if you want a quiet place
Tangla is a little bit old but still okay, environement is very green and quiet, the swimming pool is huge and there are good food options. The only thing is that it is quite remote from city center so when I want to be close to mall and live area, I suggest to stay at Kande

酒店是一間好的度假酒店,為一交通不方便,如酒店有車來回市中心就比較好一些.
酒店需言舊一些,整體還可以,酒店有很大室外泳池,有很美公園,有孔雀,自助餐巴西燒烤不错,如果食物多一些選擇就好.

Mooi hotel met prima wifi en restaurants.
Mooi hotel, gelegen aan een mooi meer. Het zwembad was niet toegankelijk maar zag er erg aantrekkelijk uit, net een zwembad van een hotel in Spanje! Prima WIFI, ook een goede verbinding met Europa. Japans restaurant is prima! Braziliaans grill restaurant serveert prima vlees! Ontbijtbuffet is zeer degelijk en de keuze zeer groot! Hotelkamer is netjes maar heeft niet de grote luxe van de Chinese 5* hotels, echter zéér degelijk comfort (bed ietsje te hard) Prima prijs/kwaliteit

Better Chinese option.
2 nights in Tangla were average+ experience. Negative things were mostly related to really hard bed and soft pillows that were not good for my neck or back. Also the Brazilian barbeque buffet was really expensive and big disappointment. Flat beer, warm soft drinks and reallys cheap side dish options. The meat was great, though. Breakfest was ok but not on "Marriot level".

價格合理,泳池一流。
酒店已經不是一次入住,需然四週比較偏,但作為渡假是不錯之選,等別是各餐廳食物不錯,可是今次入住發現維修保養開始出現問題,僅有之娛樂如酒吧,卡拉ok全部要預定才開門。這的確有點掃興。希望酒店留意一下。
