The Kuan Hotel

This is a really nice room for the price! The bathtub was awesome! It is right next to the metro station and there convenient stores and places to eat within walking distance. It’s perfect if you don’t want to stay in downtown. The only bad thing I would say is that the walls are thin. You can hear the people in the hallway. But overall, it was a nice hotel and I’m glad we stayed.

The location of the hotel was approximately fifteen minutes from the airport and there were shopping malls and local and foreign restaurants nearby. The metro was two minutes from the hotel. Hongyadong area is also a twenty minute DiDi ride from the hotel. Now concerning the overall condition of the hotel; the room was clean, bed was nice and comfortable and there was a clean tub to bathe in. Fresh and delicious breakfast was served between 7-9:30. Hotel staff done a good job with cleaning the room and providing fresh linens. Also, there is a laundry room where guests can wash their clothes for free but you must purchase your own detergent.. I definitely recommend staying at this hotel because you will definitely get your monies worth.

The main problem with this hotel is that it is in a noisy location next to a busy road and the rooms all have single pane glass so they do nothing to muffle the outside noise. In addition to the traffic noise, the “dancing grannies” blare music in front of the hotel from 8PM to nearly 10PM for their evening exercise. I know the app states the room sizes, but they did feel a bit smallish and dark for the price. Breakfast had only one attendant who divided his time between cleaning tables and dishes and preparing food which made for very slow going. I’m not sure why so many people here talk about this being a “stylish” hotel. Maybe it’s marginally more stylish than your typical China budget hotel, but only just, and it hardly makes up for all the traffic noise. In addition, detracting from any sense of “stylishness”, is that the rooms are full of items for sale, from cokes to razor blades and toilet seat covers, all marked with sticker prices. The noise was too much for me, particularly as it never really stops, even in the early AM, but, thankfully, they were willing to refund my remaining two nights. On the plus side, yes, it is very near to line 3 subway stop, which does go directly to the airport, if that is for some reason crucial to your visit. It’s also in a lively part of the neighborhood. The rooms have bath tubes as well as showers which I appreciated. And the beds are very nice, soft. I think if you’re a deaf person who likes soft beds and being close to subway stations, this might be the right choice for you. But for everyone else there are better hotels within a block or two for the same price.
