Asta Hotel Shenzhen

The best thing about this hotel is its location, specially if you need to go over to Hong Kong. The hotel is 10 minutes taxi ride to border crossings. It is also next to Huangung village which is full of great restaurants, grocery and other shops. There is a metro station right in front of the hotel and plenty of taxis around. The hotel is also 10 minutes taxi ride from Futian CBD with its Exhibition centre, 5* hotels, bards and restaurants. There is a great view if you get a room facing the back of the hotel, you can see Futian CBD and if on a high floor, a great light show at night.

Have known this hotel for 10 years, it is an average 4* hotel so don't expect 5* facilities. The rooms now look a little dated. I stayed on 18th floor, seems to have been refurbished with relatively new carpets. The room was clean and everything worked though a downside is that to boost the air conditioning they have added a floor standing unit which is a bit noisy. I wouldn't pay more than US$100 per night in this hotel and that's including breakfast.
