Our stay at Crowne Plaza Shenzhen Futian exceeded all expectations! The hotel is in an excellent location, close to the CBD and subway station, making travel extremely convenient. The front desk staff Cobe and Sakee were warm and efficient, and they upgraded our room. The room is spacious and bright, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a fantastic view. The bedding is highly comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. A special mention goes to Rina for her outstanding service! The fitness center and heated swimming pool have new facilities that are well-maintained. Every detail reflects a five-star standard. The breakfast is also excellent! Whether for business trips or leisure vacations, this is an ideal choice in Shenzhen, and we will definitely stay here again next time!

The hotel is located in the very heart of Shenzhen's business district Futian. There are a large number of restaurants nearby, as well as the city's exhibition hall where business fairs are held. Our room was on the 20th floor. The breakfast was good and catered to foreign guests.

Excellent location, nice big rooms, great breakfast… but what made this hotel stand out was the service. It was my dad’s birthday and they arranged for a cake to be ready for him when he returned in the evening… what a lovely surprise! After checking out, I left my luggage for safe keeping, but I lost the ticket when I went back for pick up. A big shout out to Zoey and Richard at Hilton for helping me out and I was able to reclaim my luggage really quickly and without stress! The only negative I have to say was that I purchased the afternoon tea and happy hour package, but the afternoon tea was just some ham sandwiches, fruits, cakes and drinks on a “help yourself” system. Not quite the 5-star quality I expected. I will definitely come back but will only go for the breakfast option as that was really nice.

Luxurious as expected. The lobby was decked in Christmas cheer and I'm impressed they even have a mini carousel in the lobby for young guests. Location is good, within 5 mins walking distance to Futian Railway Exit 10 (where you can catch a train to Hong Kong), 10 mins walking distance to Futian Exhibition Centre and a metro station on a few lines and surrounded by malls including LinkCity which has many food and shopping options. The room is spacious and clean, well-maintained but dated. Wide selection of amenities including pillow options and I love that I can requests for these through their mini prog in WeChat. Bed is a little soft for my liking. Service is tip tops from the concierge to front desk to housekeeping to Lobby Lounge. Certainly my choice of hotel when I next return to Shenzhen.

A pretty perfect stay! I am traveling a lot around the globe and stay in 5* hotels. There are plenty of high-end luxury hotels in the Futian area. I am happy that I chose the Ritz-Carlton. Not just that the location is ideal - from the moment I entered the property until I left I felt a true warm hospitality. Especially Miya (reception) went above and beyond to make the stay memorable - always with a warm smile, very responsive and kind - it almost felt like having a personal assistant. Also helpful was, that her English is very good. Having a big outdoor pool is fantastic to have after a busy day, and for me it was also a perfect start into the day, after having a gorgeous breakfast (good choice also for Europeans). I appreciate the barista-coffee. The room might not be the newest (Scandinavian-like) design. However, it was in an immaculate state, perfectly clean, spacious, with plenty of well-positioned international plugs (no adapter needed) and very comfortable. And most important to me: with a very quiet A/C. So all in all: I truly can recommend this hotel, and when coming back to Shenzhen I for sure will stay here again.

The Four Seasons Shenzhen is truly one of the best hotels in the city. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the friendly and attentive staff. Rachel, who assisted us during check-in, was exceptionally kind and helpful. Upon learning that we were in Shenzhen to celebrate our anniversary, she kindly upgraded our room and arranged a beautiful surprise with rose decorations and a cake. Thank you to the Four Seasons team for making our anniversary so special and memorable. The hotel is conveniently located near subway stations and Coco Park, making it very easy to get around. We initially planned to stay for three nights, but due to the hotel’s excellent location, comfort, and outstanding service, we decided to extend our stay by an additional two nights. The Four Seasons is now our top choice in Shenzhen, and we will definitely stay here again on our next visit. The only disappointment during our stay was the limited minibar selection, and the fact that soft drinks were charged. This did not quite meet our expectations for a five-star hotel.

The hotel is very close to Shenzhen Shaibu metro station; having direct elevator to hotel lobby and guest rooms. There are plenitude of restaurants and shopping area around the hotel. Guest rooms are big and have separated living and dining area which is very convenient. Room’s amenities are well-sufficient and works in good condition. Hotel staff are very friendly with great service hospitality. Highly recommended for stay with very reasonable price to service.

We enjoyed our trip staying at Shangri-La shenzhen hotel. Hotel abit old but well maintained. Room clean but service could be able to improve. We saw they allowing some guests to take food out from club lounge but they disallowed when my sister requested as i didn't manage to reach back on time to have dinner with her. So we when out quite late to have our dinner after I reach hotel.

Typical Hyatt standard. The front desk was great and gave us a free upgrade. The mountain and river views are uniquely beautiful, even on a cloudy day. What's particularly good is that the hotel lobby connects directly to a mall, so you can eat, drink, and have fun without stepping outside in the rain. However, aside from that, there was no butler service, turn-down service, or welcome fruit. The TV couldn't cast to, and among the five-star hotels I've stayed in, the service was quite average. Coupled with the inflated price during the Qingming holiday, the value for money was really just okay.

We have enjoyed very much the stay at the guesthouse, it is just in front of the beach, very convenient. We stayed at the 5 rooms and the view was great in all the rooms. They provided all the amenities and more. Their staffs are all very attentive and polite. Food at the restaurant is super. The pizza is much more tasty than famous pizza shops in HK. Highly recimment their pizzas. Breakfast very good, Western and Chinese both tasty and abundat. We will come back.

Huaqiangbei Area Shenzhen|3.08km dari pusat bandar
The hotel's location is great, though the entrance isn't very obvious – it's actually right across from Huaqiangbei Road. You'll see a lot of international guests coming and going, many of whom are clearly young people visiting from abroad for business or travel. The geographical location is excellent, less than a few hundred meters from Huaqiang Station. There are plenty of places to eat, drink, and shop nearby, making it convenient for exploring various parts of Shenzhen. It can't compare to a grand hotel, but it's clean, which is a major plus. Try to avoid lower floors, as you'll experience vibrations from the subway passing by, basically from day to night. I was assigned an end room on the second floor, and the subway vibrations were constant throughout my stay, which definitely affected my sleep.

Turns out Hampton Inn is indeed Hampton, and its Chinese name sounds so joyful and warm. The hotel pays great attention to detail, with many thoughtful touches. I got a 'lucky' goodie bag, and while I didn't take the small items (even though I could), it made me happy about my little bit of luck. The front desk staff were all smiles. The most impressive person was the lady in the restaurant; she was meticulous yet firm, and genuinely cared about whether we were satisfied. So, I took a picture of her name tag (Liu Mingjie) to remember her sense of ownership. A hotel that inspires its employees to genuinely promote it! Most importantly, it offers great value for money.

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.
