Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center Shenzhen|0.78km dari pusat bandar
Staying in Shenzhen for a short stopover from Hong Kong, I simply made a casual note on my booking that it was my wife's birthday, without expecting any special arrangements. So, I was pleasantly surprised when I entered the room to find it decorated for a birthday, complete with a mini cake. During my stay, if I had any issues and contacted Joy, she was always prompt and efficient in her responses and problem-solving, never perfunctory. The room cleaning was very thorough; it wasn't just superficially clean. The bedding was comfortable, and there was no standing water or grime in the bathroom corners, which made for a truly comfortable stay. The room itself was spacious and bright, and all the facilities I used daily worked smoothly. It was a very pleasant experience to relax in the room. When needed, issues were also handled immediately. The hotel's location is also very convenient. Getting a taxi or finding a restaurant is hassle-free. It's just a 5-minute walk to Coco Park and Ping An Finance Center, saving a lot of commuting time for out-of-town visitors. Overall, it was a very genuine stay, without unnecessary frills. This small birthday gesture left a very good impression.

The location is extremely convenient. It's right at Exit A of the Convention & Exhibition Centre Station. There's an elevator directly to the hotel inside the 2-D Town shopping mall. The hotel is also right next to Huangting Plaza and Link Central City shopping mall, which is very convenient. Comfortable Accommodation The room space is quite large, so a family of three didn't feel cramped. Although the hotel has been open for a while, the facilities are well-maintained. Delicious Food The breakfast buffet offers a wide variety of options, including Chinese, Western, and Japanese dishes, catering to different tastes. Well-Equipped Fitness Facilities The fitness center is outsourced, but it still provides service outside of office hours. Hotel staff can open the door for access, offering 24-hour fitness service.

I stayed in a river view room in the West Tower this time, with a view of Hong Kong across the river. Pros: * Well-decorated and good facilities * Very quiet, perfect for relaxation * Spacious room -- Overall, a great stay experience. Cons: * The room lighting was a bit dim. * You have to change elevators on the fifth floor, and walking down is a bit inconvenient. * Food delivery doesn't come up to the room; you have to go down and pick it up yourself. * The hotel's location isn't very close to the subway station; walking there involves a somewhat secluded road. I'd recommend taking a taxi.

It had been a while since we traveled, so my family and I decided to try out the Hilton for a weekend getaway. Check-in was super fast, and the staff were incredibly considerate of my elderly family members, making sure everyone felt comfortable. The service from everyone was very kind and welcoming. It was a rare family trip, and we had such a happy stay. We didn't have to wait long for the elevators, the room lighting was soft and pleasant, and there were plenty of light and healthy options for breakfast. Getting around was easy too. Overall, there was nothing to complain about, and we had a great experience.

I chose this hotel because I was going to Hong Kong 🇭🇰, and it was so convenient! It's just a 100-meter walk to Futian Railway Station, and the subway is also easily accessible. My child really wanted to take the subway, so we went to Hong Kong. The two round trips were really unpleasant. This place is part of China, yet you have to put up with the attitudes of the people there; they look so impatient, as if we mainlanders owe them something. Without our mainland fish, how would your economy grow? I'll never go there again. Shenzhen is much better, with great food and a relaxed atmosphere. The hotel was good too 👍. Seeing Hong Kong people coming to Shenzhen to spend money, it makes you realize how much more affordable the mainland is. A bowl of noodles in Hong Kong costs over a hundred, and everything is expensive. I'll definitely come back to Shenzhen for food, drinks, and fun. Happy! There were no crowds at Disneyland during the summer vacation 🤗, and there will be fewer and fewer people in the future. Welcome to Shanghai Disneyland, where you don't have to deal with anyone's bad attitude; just let loose and have fun!

This time, I chose this hotel for a family trip, and the overall stay was excellent. Sahar, Molly, and Bella were incredibly friendly and patient. They gave us practical advice, considering we were a family traveling together, and were very responsive to our needs. Their service was attentive and thoughtful, and they were kind and polite. The hotel's location is very convenient, the room was clean and tidy, and the environment was quiet and comfortable. My family was very satisfied with their stay. The overall service experience was fantastic, five-star recommended, and I'll definitely choose this place again for future family trips!

I stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel Shenzhen for a temporary business trip, and the attention to detail in their service left a lasting impression. Upon arriving at the hotel entrance, Max, the manager who assisted me with my previous check-in, immediately recognized me and provided exceptional service. His incredible memory for guests truly showcases the high-caliber service at luxury hotels. The guest room had an open layout, offering a nearly perfect stay and rest experience. The sofa lounge area, workspace, and sleeping area were clearly separated, creating a smooth flow that's ideal for business travelers. The bathroom featured a bathtub and a smart toilet, and all facilities were well-maintained, making for a comfortable stay during my business trip. Breakfast was at the FOO restaurant, which boasts a timeless 'old money' design that has stood the test of time. My favorite part was the seating experience; there were numerous semi-private 'booth' style seats that offered great comfort and allowed for an undisturbed dining experience. The breakfast selection was impressive, featuring everything from Kashi yogurt, a wide variety of bread options, freshly made wontons, to Chinese brewed flower teas. It's clear that the Four Seasons invests heavily in its dining offerings, making the early morning breakfast experience for a business trip truly satisfying.

This is an old hotel that's been around for decades, and you can tell that the furniture used back in the day was top-notch. The rooms are spacious, elegantly decorated, and well-equipped with various facilities. However, with time, it's a bit outdated now; the lack of smart toilets is a noticeable drawback. But on the bright side, the spacious rooms, elegant decor, and comprehensive facilities, along with meticulous cleaning, really allow us to sleep soundly and comfortably without a worry. I absolutely have to give a huge shout-out for the hotel's service and food! 👍 **Service:** It was Dragon Boat Festival, which coincided with my mother's birthday and Father's Day, so I came back to Shenzhen to celebrate with my parents. Since the booking was quite last-minute, I messaged the hotel, just hoping, to ask if they could arrange a birthday setup. The hotel staff readily agreed and did an amazing job with the birthday decorations! Upon arrival, we were informed that both rooms had been complimentary upgraded to high-floor deluxe rooms, and the birthday decorations inside the rooms were perfect! I'm incredibly satisfied! 😊 **Food:** Breakfast is served at the all-day dining restaurant, the Beer Bar on the 3rd floor. IHG members can move to the Prego Italian restaurant for a quieter atmosphere. The continental buffet breakfast offers a rich variety and excellent quality, including a noodle station and made-to-order omelets. The omelets and black truffle scrambled eggs were particularly amazing! For lunch, we used a dining voucher at the Fu Lin Men restaurant on the 2nd floor. Note that the voucher can only be used for à la carte stir-fries; it's not applicable for tea or dim sum, and cannot be combined with member discounts or group purchases. The dim sum at Fu Lin Men is excellent; the shrimp dumplings are smooth and tender, the tripe is crisp, and the stir-fries are consistently good. After using the voucher, the total cost for three people was 210 yuan, which was a very satisfying meal overall! 😋 Great value for money! I'll definitely consider staying here again next time I'm in Luohu!

My stay at Shenzhen Metropark Hotel this time exceeded my expectations! The hotel is located directly above Shaibu Metro Station, with an elevator providing direct access to the subway. Dongmen Old Street is within walking distance, making it incredibly convenient for getting around and finding food. The room was a suite, offering spacious and airy accommodation. The cleanliness was meticulous, the bedding soft and comfortable, and the soundproofing excellent, ensuring a very peaceful night's rest. The Wi-Fi was fast and stable, and the hot water supply consistent. Check-in at the front desk was efficient and friendly, and the staff provided attentive and thoughtful service. With plenty of dining and shopping options nearby, this hotel is perfect for both business trips and tourism. The value for money is outstanding, and I'll definitely choose to stay here again next time I'm in Luohu!

The location is super convenient, but the facilities are quite old. Plus, with the construction of the large bridge/overpass, they work overtime late into the night, which can be noisy. Being close to the train station, when traffic jams, people honk their horns intentionally until very late, which is pretty loud. The pool, while not exceptional, is decent. However, an annual pass is a bit too expensive.

Room: Excellent! 👍 The room was spacious and bright, and the high-floor view was fantastic. It was so relaxing to sit inside and watch the sea. The twin beds were easy to push together, making it very family-friendly for those with kids. Location: Unbeatable! ❤️ Our main goal this Dragon Boat Festival was to explore the Yantian coastline. The hotel is super close to the subway, making Dameisha, Xiaomeisha, and Xichong all easily accessible by metro. It was also convenient to walk to Yating Bay to catch the Haishan Line to Enshang Wetland Park. We had a very fulfilling three-day holiday. Facilities: The hotel isn't specifically geared towards families, so we only tried the pool, which was good. However, with One City Mall right downstairs, you have everything you need, which is incredibly convenient. Breakfast: Very satisfied! 😘 Everything was great, except for a bit of a wait during peak hours. They had freshly made wontons and waffles, as well as fresh squeezed juice. All the breads were delicious. Overall, highly recommended! ~

We were on a quick staycation from Hong Kong. The hotel room is actually nicer than it looks online- super clean, very nice linens, and surprisingly quiet! The bed was great with comfy pillows (not like usual hard ones), and we really appreciated the good service at the concierge and restaurant. Balcony was perfect for a late night snack and drink while kid was sleeping inside, and wow we had the best view for the craziest thunderstorm ever. One thing- the beach itself is ok la- there is only one area where swimming is allowed, and there are approximately a million people crammed into that one area. The area is a bit weird, with lots of development, but with some already abandoned buildings. BUT, the stay itself was so good, we were delighted with White House!

Huaqiangbei Area Shenzhen|3.08km dari pusat bandar
My two-day, one-night stay at the Quchuang Hotel (Futian Huaqiangbei Metro Station Branch) was incredibly comfortable, far exceeding my expectations. I highly recommend it. The hotel boasts an excellent location, close to Huaqiangbei Metro Station. The bustling commercial district is within walking distance, offering a wide array of dining options and shops, making commutes and shopping exceptionally convenient. It's perfectly suited for both leisure travelers and business guests on short stays. The front desk staff were professional and courteous, handling both check-in and check-out processes efficiently and smoothly. Their service was attentive and gentle, and they proactively helped with travel inquiries, making me feel truly valued. The guest room was meticulously cleaned, with a tidy and spotless environment. The bedding was changed promptly and was free of any unpleasant odors. The room layout was well-designed, with good natural light and ventilation. The bathroom featured a wet/dry separation, and the water pressure was stable. All daily facilities were well-maintained, and the soundproofing was excellent, ensuring a quiet environment at night for a restful and relaxing sleep. The common areas were neat and orderly, and the rooftop even offered complimentary laundry facilities, demonstrating thoughtful attention to detail. Considering its prime location in the bustling Futian area, the hotel's pricing is very reasonable, and both its facilities and service level offer exceptional value for money. This brief stay was a fantastic experience. I will definitely prioritize choosing this hotel again on future visits to the Huaqiangbei area in Shenzhen, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to other travelers.

The beef brisket noodles for breakfast were delicious; I ate them for four days straight and didn't get tired of them. All the staff were excellent, very warm and friendly. Ms. Liu Mingjie from the restaurant took great care of us, which left a deep impression. It was a wonderful apartment stay experience in Shenzhen; you can cook for yourself, and it's very close to the border crossing. If I have the chance to visit Shenzhen again, I'll definitely choose this place.

What to Do If You Have Problems in Shenzhen Metro?

Shenzhen Metro: Hours, Lines & Stations

Lost Items in the Shenzhen Metro

If you lose something while riding the metro, go straight to the nearest station service counter. Clearly describe the item, where you last had it, and the time you think it was lost. Staff will help you file a report and contact you if your belongings are found. Tip: Always check your seat and the floor before leaving the train.

If You Miss the Last Train

Don’t panic if you miss the final service of the night. Shenzhen runs night buses and taxis for late-night travel. On some routes, such as Line 1 (to Qianhaiwan) and Line 11 (to Songgang), a few “halfway” trains may still operate after 11 p.m., which can get you closer to your destination.

Emergency Contacts

For immediate help, visit a station service counter or call:

  • 110 – Police
  • 120 – Medical emergencies
  • +86 755 8896 0000 – Shenzhen Metro hotline

Save these numbers in your phone or write them down before your trip.

If Your Phone Dies or You Lose Internet

No battery or connection? Many stations sell local SIM cards or eSIM plans for reliable data. You’ll also find charging stations or power-bank rentals at larger stops. If you’re unsure where to go, simply ask metro staff—they are used to assisting travellers. It’s a good idea to carry a portable charger and download offline maps so you can still navigate even without internet access.

✅Get a local SIM card or reliable eSIM data plan - you'll need internet for checking metro routes, schedules, and using mobile payments while getting around.
