We went to Shantou to attend friends' wedding, and they booked a room in this hotel for us. The location is quite convenient. It locates in a main street. The road behind the hotel leads to Parkson shopping mall. And there are a lot of local restaurants and a Walt-mart supermarket around it. However, the whole area does not look... More

I enjoyed my stay here although the first impression of the dirty carpets wasn't very good. Positives - Spacious room, reliable internet and good friendly reception staff.

Normally, I would tend to go for newer hotels when I travel - liked the smell and feel of newer hotels, so to speak. However, when travelling with my 70 year old dad to his ancestral hometown recently, I had studied the Tripadvisor reviews and decided to choose this 5 star property, albeit an older hotel in Shantou. And no... More

I was the only non-Chinese on a bus tour booked in Hong Kong. Went with my spouse, her Mom and Elder sister. Stayed on 15th floor. VERY quiet (a PLUS for me!). Lobby decor flashy, bar seemed cozy, buffet breakfast looked complete. I got a charge out of the mosquito control solution: Decorative and interesting Venus Fly Trap plants in... More
