Hotel Hot Springs di Liaoning, China

Traveling with a friend, this hotel is located at Xinghai Square, and it's a 10-minute walk to the sea, so the location is great. The hotel has a bathhouse on the basement level, and guests receive complimentary tickets. As someone from the south, it was my first time experiencing Northeastern bathhouse culture, and I really felt the warmth and hospitality of the locals. Also, the hotel rooms are quite spacious and the temperature was a bit high; I actually sweated at night. Opening the window for ventilation made it more comfortable. Overall, it was a good stay with high value for money.

The purpose of this trip to Benxi was twofold: Firstly, to take my seventy-year-old parents back to Benxi Water Caves, revisiting a place from their vibrant youth and reliving those passionate memories. Secondly, it was to help my daughter de-stress before she transitions from primary to junior high, as she's about to step into the demanding arena of life. **Reason for choosing this place:** We picked Guan Shan Lake Xikang Yunshe because its online photos were simply breathtaking – showcasing stunning scenery, lush greenery, magnificent views, and picturesque beauty that truly captivated me and made me want to experience it firsthand. (Honestly, with so many guesthouses and hotels sprouting up across Benxi like mushrooms after rain these past two years, to avoid decision paralysis, I simply picked the top-ranked one.) **First Impression:** The mountains were in a languid slumber, while the clouds playfully sketched the outline of a castle. At three in the afternoon, the golden sunlight pierced through the clouds, bathing the grey castle in a glow that felt like a divine touch and special favor. (Though this description might seem a bit exaggerated, I believe even Eileen Chang would write it this way.) Let me discuss the facilities, hygiene, environment, service, unique hot springs, and buffet breakfast all at once: * **Facilities:** Among all hotels I've stayed at in the same price range, these are personally the most satisfactory and my favorite. * **Hygiene:** There's still room for improvement. I admit I have exceptionally high standards for cleanliness; my husband, whose pocket money has been depleted by my pickiness, can attest to that. * **Environment:** The advantages here are self-evident: blessed with unique green mountains, clear waters, and swirling mist. There's simply no room for me to find fault, and I suspect the people of Benxi wouldn't allow it anyway! * **Service:** I deliberately tried to count the staff members I encountered: two doormen, four charming front desk staff, a villa driver, a room cleaning attendant, kitchen/delivery personnel, staff in the hot spring area, and dining areas... Oh, never mind, I confess my math isn't good enough to count them all. In short, every staff member I met was patient, caring, and dedicated. Their service was perfectly balanced, attentive without being overly enthusiastic. Yes, the hotel management behind the scenes certainly deserves a grand commendation. * **Unique Hot Springs:** Both my mom and daughter had a wonderful time soaking. My daughter was thrilled because there was unlimited ice cream available, which she could openly and freely enjoy – something I don't usually permit at home. My mom, in turn, was happy seeing her daughter so joyful. Given that the ice cream was actually quite high-quality, I even broke my own rule and indulged in quite a bit. It wasn't just about taking advantage of something free; it was more about not wanting to be a hypocrite with one rule for them and another for me. There were also plenty of unlimited fruits and snacks, perfect for quenching thirst and cooling down. * **Buffet Breakfast:** The buffet breakfast offered a wide variety. I prefer strong flavors in the morning and enjoyed a generous amount of boiled shrimp, baked beans in tomato sauce, Italian beef brisket, bacon, and homemade yogurt. For those who prefer lighter options, the traditional Chinese breakfast choices were truly dazzling. **A Side Note:** At 4:27 AM, I leaned by the hot spring pool in my room. The water temperature was 37.2 degrees Celsius, exactly half a degree higher than my body temperature – just enough to help my tense nerves loosen their first button. True enjoyment, I realized, is found in places where even time seems to slow down. At that moment, I gazed at the mist still lingering over the distant mountains and fields outside my window, then slowly closed my eyes, drifting back into a soothing dream, only to be awakened by: ”Mom, Mom, Mom, is the hot spring water ready for me?!”

It was my first time staying at Wuhuan Hotel. I came here because the room rate was very favorable. Although the rating was a bit low, I felt really good when I checked in. The front desk was very friendly. Seeing that I had a lot of luggage, they helped me carry it upstairs. They briefly introduced the switches of various lights in the room, which was a bit complicated. Other people's comments were more or less biased. In short, the overall feeling was very good. If I have the opportunity to come to Anshan in the future, I will stay here again…

Booked a mountain view courtyard room, the room layout is good. There is a small outdoor courtyard with a hot spring bathing pool, and there is also an indoor hot spring bathing pool. The room is not facing the street, suitable for guests who like quietness. When you check in, you will receive a bottle of drink, a bottle of milk and two bags of biscuits, all from Sam's Club. The children like them very much, and adults can rest assured to give them to the children. Every service staff of the hotel is very enthusiastic, especially the front desk, who introduced the itinerary very enthusiastically when asked about the itinerary. I ordered dinner at the hotel restaurant in the afternoon. The food tasted good and the environment was very good compared to the surrounding restaurants.

Took my child to enjoy the hot springs during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Even though it was a holiday and quite crowded, the experience far exceeded my expectations. We arrived at 2:30 PM, and the front desk lady was incredibly gentle and thoughtful. She kept apologizing because our room wasn't ready yet. The staff member dressed as Judy (from Zootopia) who was in charge of greeting the kids was very approachable and patient, interacting with them wonderfully. Even though it was only early October, the room was already heated. Sitting on the balcony, gazing at the distant, overlapping mountains was truly relaxing. The outdoor hot spring pools offered a wide variety: milk, red wine, mugwort, lemon, aloe vera, grotto, lavender, and rose. If the weather is good, the hillside pools are also open, and the children's bubble bath pool has scheduled operating times. Staff members regularly patrol the pools, adjusting water temperatures, clearing leaves, and ensuring the pools remain clean. Indoors, there were showers, body scrubs, and complimentary fruits and snacks. The second floor of the bath area featured a relaxation zone, a small soft play area, a dragon-fire bath, and a cinema. At 9 PM, overnight guests could enjoy a complimentary late-night snack service, including noodles, congee, eggs, and side dishes. The hotel breakfast was just okay; although there was a good variety, the taste was average, not as good as the late-night snacks. Since we had a child, the hotel also provided adorable kids' toothbrushes and bathrobes, which the little ones absolutely loved. A delightful day came to an end, and the children didn't want to go home, but rooms are so hard to book during holidays that we had to head back.

The hotel isn't new, but it's well-maintained, and the landscaping is beyond reproach! We took the metro to the final station, then a Didi/Alipay taxi. It was 14:00 there and 18:00 back. We booked a very basic room with one large bed, which looked like it was 2 by 2 meters. We stayed in November. The whole hotel was warm. There's a separate area with large indoor pools and slides for children aged 3 or older. The onsen itself is divided into three equal parts: one common area and two specifically for men and women, where swimsuits are not allowed. The common area has two outdoor onsen and a large heated pool. The women's area has a more fun outdoor landscape and baths than the common area. There were always crowds of people there. Sometimes it was children screaming and splashing around. Sometimes it was just peace and quiet. It closes at 9:00 PM, so we were practically alone in the evening. It's a perfect place for autumn! The air is cool, and sitting in the bath by the moonlight is pure bliss!!! There are also separate foot baths outside. They also have a really great atmosphere. We looked at the menu; the dishes were complex, with lots of sauces and seafood. The prices were high, but we didn't feel like eating them. The breakfast was beautifully presented, but rather basic, nothing special. We had the same at the Ibis. Overall, we were very pleased! You could stay for 2-3 days and really chill out, if only the food was more basic or we could get the hang of delivery. We paid 12,400 rubles per night; we were with a 10-year-old child, but he's not very expensive, so there were no extra charges. Overall, it was a great experience for the cold season! We recommend it.

The main reason for coming here is that the hotel is five-star and the conditions are quite good. There are two other reasons, one is the hot springs and the other is to see the sea. In fact, with the gradual completion of the construction of the seaside, this sea is no longer beautiful. At a glance, it is not an endless sea, but more breakwaters. I feel sorry for the hotel. When I first came to this hotel, it was really good, very good, but now I feel a little sorry. But it is worth mentioning that the hotel has a gym, swimming pool, lounge, jade plate hot kang, which is very good, and there are free breakfasts for two. The hot springs can be circulated, and you can rest after soaking, and then go again. The bathtub in the room is very large, and you can also take a bath, which is very worthwhile.

Copy the hot spring room! The high ceiling is perfect for smoking, and the hot spring is hot enough to soak for more than 4 hours! Very cool. I am quite satisfied with it anyway. Catch Ctrip's 40% off stay event. Very cost-effective 😁

We visited Luneng Hot Spring with our kids and had a great family time. The hot spring was relaxing, and the kids really enjoyed the play areas and child-friendly pools. One of the best parts of our stay was the excellent help we received from Brynn, a staff member who spoke English very well. Since we don’t speak Chinese, her support made everything easier—from room service to general questions. She was kind, professional, and even checked on us after we left. Thanks to her and the friendly staff, our stay was smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommended for families!0412

We checked in the afternoon of the first day. The indoor hot spring pools were small and the water was dirty. There were beverage bottles and cups everywhere in the steam room. The outdoor pool was open for hot springs. We had to go back to the room to fill water for hot springs. On the second day, the breakfast was very poor. Everything was cold. The waiter used his hands to add dishes to the tableware. It was past 9 o'clock. We went to soak in the outdoor hot springs. The staff had not finished filling the water. There were one or two pools with hot water that could not be poured in. We were told to soak in the indoor pool first. There was a massage pool inside the room. The water was warm and not hot at all. We had to go back to the room to fill water again. We spent two days in the room to soak in hot springs! I will never come again
