Chengde Huilong Tower Hotel

Is a walkable distance from the railway station. There is a bus stop in front of the hotel and across the street with busses going to the main attractions. Some restaurants around the area to eat for a good price. A store inside the hotel with cheap prices (water 1 yuan and candies). I think it’s the only hotel with good price that accepts foreigners. Room big enough, bathroom with western toilet and shower. Toiletries for free and daily clean service. Big TV and air con which work well. Two beds and a sofa, desk and chair inside the room. Water with good pressure. Pictures maths reality.

Smell as cigarette in all the building and rooms. The bathroom has a bad smell coming from the sink. Water leaks from the sink making the bathroom wet. Dust behind the beds. The shower heat was broken so the water goes straight to the mirror or down direct to the wall, but still can take a shower. The room card needs to be activated in front desk everyday (if you go sightseeing and come back at afternoon make sure you stop in front desk before going to your room, otherwise you need to go downstairs again). You can hear people talking in the corridors and room next to you, as well as cars and trains (if you have a light sleep bring ear plugs). Check in really slow since we arrive late at night and the girls in the front desk didn’t know how to register a passport (they took pictures and copies of the wrong pages so they kept us there until another girl replies the phone and told them what to do). Staff cannot speak English but are willing to try to communicate (better if you speak some Chinese).
