Hotel 4-Star di Liaoning, China

We had to scramble to Jinzhou due to medical emergency from overseas. We happened to book this hotel in a great hurry and it was truly the only thing that helped us preserve our sanity at a very fraught time. It was also our first time using trip.com as I could not find much options in Jinzhou on ***********, my long time app of choice. I was worried about how things would turn out since I didn't know if I could trust trip.com or fully research my options as we had to rush to pack as well. As it turned out, I'm 100% sure that no other hotel in 4th tier Jinzhou city could have given us the experience, comfort and ambience that Manxin Hotel did. I don't say that lightly as a seasoned international traveller who's stayed at many types of hotels/guesthouses/motels over the years, it takes *a lot* to impress us enough to earn my praise and endorsement in a review. Manxin Hotel felt like a small boutique hotel feel with 3 floors of rooms. It was only opened in Jan 2024, so it really feels nice and new with a high ceiling foyer /lounge area. The rooms are huge with huge floor to ceiling windows. Although it's next to a train station, the triple glazed windows amazingly cut out most of the noise. The beds were very comfortable, with great toiletries, great Laifun hairdryer and free drinks replenished daily. Even the tea bags they provided were of great quality. We stayed in the hotel for 2 weeks so we were very happy to be able to use the complimentary washing machine service which saved me the hassle of having to hand wash my clothes daily in my room! There were some drainage issues in the shower but the hotel staff did try to sort out the problem. There's also a spacious gym available for those who are fitness fanatics. The hotel breakfast had great variety with quality coffee (not easy to find good coffee in China). They even had a singer in the foyer 3 nights a week. Though I usually love listening to live music, the singers were students who were not quite able to deliver a performance befitting the old world charm and ambience of the hotel foyer. Any hotel can have the best of facilities but often fall short on the service front. Since we were staying there for 2 weeks, we often had to deal with the hotel staff on a daily basis. We found them to be very competent, sincere, friendly, understanding and helpful for the most part, willing to do all that they could to assist us during our time of considerable distress and strain due to our family emergency. Even the housekeeping staff and the lady clearing plates in the breakfast area were warm and helpful! As foreigners , we would sometimes need help with paperwork, scanning, photocopying, and other assistantance communicating with the outside world to make arrangements for international medical evacuation, WeChat/Alipay tutorials etc. We will always be grateful to the staff for all their efforts to assist in our time of need. In particular, we would like to thank Sales manager XY Yang and duty manager Hong for their tireless assistance and consideration. If we were to go to Jinzhou again, Manxin hotel would absolutely be our only choice.

Five-star recommendation! Our family stay at the Four Seasons Whale Island exceeded expectations; it's absolutely perfect for a family beach vacation. The hotel boasts an excellent location with its own private beach. You don't have to go far to let the kids dig in the sand and explore the shore, and if you're lucky, you might even spot some starfish. The little ones had an absolute blast. Amber Bay, with its larger expanse of sea perfect for wading and shell collecting, is just a short walk away, offering plenty of opportunities for beachcombing. The surrounding amenities are also top-notch, with authentic seafood restaurants serving delicious meals and trendy, Instagrammable cafes that are perfect for snapping great photos and relaxing. The rooms are very comfortable. Each is equipped with an extra-large bathtub, which is wonderfully relaxing after a day of playing by the sea. Just a friendly reminder: remember to close your doors and windows, as small insects can occasionally fly in. Overall, our stay was fantastic, though I have two small suggestions for improvement: Firstly, a mini-fridge in the room would be incredibly convenient, especially in summer for storing cold drinks, baby food, and fresh ingredients. Secondly, I hope the bedding maintenance can be enhanced in the future; some sheets and duvets weren't as pristine as they could be. Regular replacement and updates would further elevate the quality. All in all, this is a highly recommended resort in the Dalian Shicao area that we'd gladly return to. It's a top choice for family trips, and I recommend it to families looking for a peaceful seaside escape and easy beach exploration!

The front desk service at Atour was an absolute delight! The staff were warm and welcoming, and checked me in within minutes. Any requests for amenities were handled promptly and efficiently. Their genuine care and attention to detail truly made me feel valued. The hotel's minimalist yet elegant design, combined with its impeccable cleanliness, further enhanced my stay. This isn't your typical run-of-the-mill service; it's truly thoughtful and personalized. My entire stay was comfortable and worry-free. I highly recommend it to all travelers – it's a place worth returning to!

This hotel is right next to Shenyang Middle Street, about a 10-minute walk to the Shenyang Imperial Palace. Taking a taxi to the palace would be a nightmare with traffic, so it's much better to just walk through Middle Street. Plus, Lao Bian Dumpling restaurant is right nearby. The room facilities are a bit dated; I'd recommend updating the showerhead. Also, the water wasn't very hot.

The hotel's location is excellent, just a 500-meter walk to the bus station, providing easy access to attractions like Donggang and Dongguan Street. You can also take the 201 tram. Downstairs, there are several restaurants offering various cuisines, as well as a Lawson convenience store. Overall, the hotel environment is comfortable, rooms are spacious, and service is excellent. The family rooms are very large, perfect for a family trip. However, I wouldn't recommend booking a sea-view room during summer due to intense sun exposure. The guest rooms are located above the 33rd floor. Since the elevators are shared by several hotels, waiting times can be excessively long. Additionally, there's no air conditioning in the elevator lobby or inside the elevators themselves, which significantly detracts from the experience. Please consider this when booking.

This hotel offers incredible value for money! The service is warm and attentive, and it's super convenient for dining and shopping nearby. Even food deliveries can be brought right to your room. They really pay attention to the details, and I highly recommend it to friends. The room has a fully integrated smart assistant (Xiao Du), and it's close to the subway station, making getting around a breeze. Definitely worth recommending! The WiFi was consistently fast throughout my stay. The staff were friendly and always willing to help, and the overall environment was comfortable. I highly recommend it to any traveler.

This hotel near Dandong Station is quite new. The room was very clean, and the facilities were modern, including a TV with screen mirroring. However, the soundproofing was terrible. I could hear the TV from the next room, and the sound of doors closing before 6 AM was really frustrating.

Traveling with my little one during the Dragon Boat Festival, we even got to try the zongzi at the hotel – everyone was so warm and welcoming! ❤️ Overall, we had a fantastic experience. The cleanliness really impressed me; the owners are clearly very attentive. My top priority was a room with a balcony for my child to play on, and good hygiene was also a must. Both were perfectly met! We had a very comfortable and satisfying stay, and I'd happily come back again! The rooftop on the sixth floor is beautiful, with a lovely flower garden in full bloom and stunning panoramic views of the cross-sea bridge.

A good hotel is key to a successful trip! This hotel is very close to Xinghai Square, and across the bridge is an amusement park. The paths are flat, perfect for strollers or 'baby walkers' (though the area right outside the hotel entrance has cobblestones, which can be a bit bumpy for strollers). The room environment is excellent. We are a family of five – four adults and one child – and stayed in the 'Star Blue' room, which was perfectly spacious. It had a 1.8m bed downstairs plus a tatami mat upstairs, and even a single sofa that could be used for sleeping. The space felt generous. There's also a private little courtyard where you can hang kids' clothes to dry (as long as it's not raining). The hotel has a laundry room with a dryer, so no more bringing dirty clothes home!

The hotel boasts an excellent location, just minutes' walk from the subway station and shopping district, making travel incredibly convenient. The rooms were clean and tidy, the bedding was comfortable, and the front desk staff were warm and attentive. It's great value for money, and I'd definitely stay here again next time!
