Huaqiao New Century Grand Hotel

“Enjoyed our stay”

Although the staff were not fluent in English they did their very best to answer our questions. Our room was spacious, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was good with lots of choice although the dining room was very full and very noisy. The hotel is in an area where it is possible to walk and the staff gave us a very good local street map.

“Good place to stay in Lishui”

You can see that the hotel is quite new, the rooms are good, big bathroom, breakfast ok. The hotel has two restaurants but they close early, we arrived at 21:00 and it was not possible to eat in neither of them. Not a problem, about 5 min by food there is the commercial center WanDi.

“Acceptable Hotel - The rooms is worth 4 stars”

I stayed in Huaqiao New Centery Grand Hotel for two days. The restaurant is typical Chinese. No real western style even though this is described and promoted. The training center is acceptable. Old machines. In general it should be upgraded. Starbucks is located very near to the Hotel, so we had br… lisää

Old machines. In general it should be upgraded. Starbucks is located very near to the Hotel, so we had breakfast here instead of the hotel.

“Not So Grand”

Check in was ok. We wanted to have a drink in the Lian Lounge. The smoke was so thick you could cut it with a knife. We went to a no smoking section which interestingly enough had an ashtray on the table. I tried to order a Chinese beer. Not going to happen as they were "out of everything" but… lisää

Check in was ok. We wanted to have a drink in the Lian Lounge. The smoke was so thick you could cut it with a knife. We went to a no smoking section which interestingly enough had an ashtray on the table. I tried to order a Chinese beer. Not going to happen as they were "out of everything" but Heineken. Ok. Smokers moved in all around us so we had no choice but to leave. The included breakfast was about a 5 on a scale of 1 to 10. The people cooking the eggs couldn't make a good omelet or soft scrambled eggs. But we did find enough to eat. I don't mind old but I don't like tattered or dirty. Check the attached pictures. The headboard on my bed is not very nice. And the toilet seat in the bathroom has disgusting stains on it. The only way to fix the toilet seat is to replace it. I watched as the staff tried to clean it with no success. The chair at the small desk is broken and very uncomfortable. The Wi-Fi connection is excellent. 4 Bars. I have a very powerful new laptop that will not accept a LAN cable. Wi-Fi only. Anyway, the wireless connection is great but there is little to no internet connectivity. So I have my hotspot on my Chinese phone turned on so I can use the internet with my laptop. Without the hotspot I could not work on the internet in my room. We checked the restaurants in the hotel and they were almost empty. We took that as a sign and moved on. There is a very nice mall about a 5 minute walk from here with lots of very nice restaurants. We had a fabulous dinner last night. There is supposedly a nicer and newer hotel in town but I don't know the name of it. The room I booked is the Deluxe King Room. It is on the 18th floor but beyond that I don't know what is deluxe. I wish I could be a little more upbeat about this review but I am in my third week of business travel in China and I had really hoped for a lot more.

“Tower over Lishui City”

If you have to go to Lishui then at least do yourself a favor and stay in this newly build Grand Hotel overlooking the (dull) city and surrounding hills.

If you have to go to Lishui then at least do yourself a favor and stay in this newly build Grand Hotel overlooking the (dull) city and surrounding hills. Stay on one of the higher floors (20 or above) and you will feel like the king (or queen) of Lishui. Rooms are spacious with lots of light (huge window) and the bathrooms are well laid out, clean and well lit. Treat youself to some tasty local food in the hotel's restaurant.
