Hotellit lähellä Beihai

Plussat: The hotel is not actually on the water, it is about two blocks back, which means that paying extra for ocean view (which we did) might not have been worth it. However, staff were amazing and very helpful, the Chinese restaurant on the 2nd floor was also great. It is a short and very cheap cab ride to Silver Beach and the railway station. If I am ever back in Beihai I would stay here.

Plussat: Big comfortable rooms if a little dated

Miinukset: Sea view was deceiving it’s about 15min walk to the sea

Plussat: Clean. Spacious. Convenience.

Miinukset: Coffee shop wasn't open for lunch. Only option was the restaurant which didn't cater for singles.

Plussat: Extremely friendly staff, everyone went out of their way to make us feel welcome.

Plussat: Very nice staff. Lobbybar was good.

Miinukset: Old hotel, need renovation. Pool is not heated. Poolbar closed of season. Owerpriced, priced by name not by quality.

Plussat: We loved the staff, especially Miranda and Lisa. Upon arrival, Miranda walked us around the property, taking us past the pool and out to the beach. She helped us plan our days’ activities. She was always there with a smile. Lisa helped send our luggage to the port for the overnight boat to Hainan. We were thus able to spend a luggage-free day in Beihai and have our luggage waiting for us at the port. Great job to both young ladies. I would return again to the hotel because of the warmth of these two ladies. Thanks.

Plussat: One of the better hotels in town and once probably the best. On the beach right in front of the hotel construction is going on so no untouched beach any more. If you want beach you have to go to the other side of Beihai wich is far. The staff is friendly, the facilities good but old. The hotel is very posh and the prices in the hotel are high compared to other places in China; approx. 10 € for the superb breakfast buffet, laundry is 66 % of the price for rebuying on fake market. The rooms a big and well equipped. Sauna is included in the room price.

Plussat: view and having hbo and the horizon club

Miinukset: Bacon is terrible the beds are way too hard and I don’t like that I cannot get breakfast in the horizon club , breakfast downstairs was terrible and I like to work in the horizon club that is why paid the extra money

Plussat: Great location, in walking distance to the Old Street. My room looked out on the water. The staff was very helpful, concierge desk. They set me up with a bicycle and helped me plan a day trip to Weizhou Island.

Plussat: Not much just free parking was good

Miinukset: I expected a much better shower in this 5-star property but I wasn’t impressed at all being an old hotel and not been upgraded for years

Plussat: There’s nothing what I can like.

Miinukset: I don’t know how this hotel call Shangri-La. I’m sorry but I’ve stayed many times in good hotels and specially stayed many times in different Shangri-La, but that one phhhh... The staff cannot speak in proper English, the hotel is super dirty and old. Remind me about some USSR hotel which call “Pobeda” One time we ordered pizza to our room and Gosh the pizza was worse than from Pizza Hut - can you believe that?! The rug on the floor is very dirty and have many dark spots, bed linen definitely is not Shangri-La hotel style, look like they borrowed it from Home Inn hostel, furniture is very old, sofas in the lobby look super dusty and let me think about that there’s a lot of bad bugs. Sorry but I’d give -10 from 10!

Plussat: Suhteellisen siisti hotelli ja hyvät näköalat ylhäältä kaupungille.

Miinukset: Voisi olla lähempänä keskustaa, sattui kosteat ilmat mutta sehän ei ole hotellin vika!

Plussat: Good location, good value.

Miinukset: All acceptable

Plussat: This hotel was a decent no-frills spot. Service was okay. The room was large and had a window and a comfortable bed and all the basics you would expect.

Miinukset: The Booking.com location for this hotel is completely wrong. Make sure you look up the Chinese address in a Chinese mapping app or you will just end up going round in circles several blocks away. When you do eventually find it, you will notice that the location kind of sucks. There isn't any sightseeing close by - the old town is far away, the beach is far away, everything is far away. Beihai anyway is poorly planned so you need to hike a ways to get anywhere interesting, but if I'd known that before I booked, I would have chosen a different place.
