aankomen op de luchthaven van Shenzhen ik omzeilde de taxi die 300 wilde die snel 200 werd voor de trein die 8 kostte & de metro 9 halte is dicht bij het hotel het personeel heeft over het algemeen weinig of geen Engels [maar kan andere talen spreken? ? ? ] en het gebruikelijke van het niet lezen van mijn geavanceerde afdruk van de boeking totdat ik op de sectie gedrukt in het Chinees wees. zeer nuttig bij het verbinden van het internet, maar de service is nog steeds beperkt met de beperkingen in China het is misschien eens 5 sterren geweest en de kamers zijn compact, maar comfortabel. badkamers aangepast aan de leeftijd waarop het werd gebouwd. de omgeving een verscheidenheid aan restaurants als je de taal spreekt of Starbucks, macdonalds naar de metro in de buurt. geweldig gebied voor het nachtleven als je wilt feesten

Ik heb er voor 1 nacht met Groep verbleef! Het personeel was erg vriendelijk! Ze zijn leren Engels, maar moet je vertaler met u als hun Engels is slecht. Check in verliep soepel. Hotel zag er oud en moe. Er geen goede verlichting bij de ingang was en receptie. Het lijkt alsof dat het hotel niet sinds jaren bewaard gebleven is. Het ontbijt was een vast menu met enige Chinees eten. Er is geen continentaal of Amerikaans ontbijt , geen fruit , geen vruchtensappen .... geen brood ... Het hotel is alleen goed voor Chinese volk. Zal het nooit aanraden voor internationale reizigers

“Clean enough, convenient enough, safe enough, and affordably priced”

I stayed at the Golden Lustre in Aug-Sept 2011, and can report that it is a reasonable value, suitable for typical business travel. But it's not a slam-dunk. The location is excellent. The facility is 10 minutes from the largest Hong Kong border crossing and in a downtown, centrally located dist... Meer

I stayed at the Golden Lustre in Aug-Sept 2011, and can report that it is a reasonable value, suitable for typical business travel. But it's not a slam-dunk. The location is excellent. The facility is 10 minutes from the largest Hong Kong border crossing and in a downtown, centrally located district. There is a ramp onto the motorway just 200 meters to the east, so congested city streets are not too much of a problem. Taxi rides to the convention center or the Border Crossing were both about 20RMB. Surrounding the hotel are many other hotels, banks, a Starbucks, neighborhood restaurants and other small businesses. It is not a glamorous situation -- the big multinational corporations and international banks are elsewhere -- but for typical business travel it's fine. We had some trouble checking in. I had a confirmation from my on-line booking service (Hotels.com, sorry Trip Advisor) for three rooms pre-paid for four days. But the hotel had only booked the last name on the list, for the four days. It took a GREAT deal of pushing to get them to give us the rooms we had paid for. The facility itself is showing it's age. It probably was a five-star hotel years ago, and the lobby is still very impressive. But the rooms are smallish, the bathrooms are basic, and the hallways clean but not interesting. There is no mini-bar and no free bottled water. There was a luggage rack but it was tiny. There is no 110-V electricity in the bath for your electric razor. The TV channels are pretty spartan. The bed was Ok and the air-con worked fine, but overall the room is pretty ordinary. Adequate, but ordinary. There are two lobby restaurants but they are plain, indeed. There is no bar unless you want to spend some time in an ear-knumbing karioki club. There also is a spa ("full-massage with oil, 260RMB!" an impossibly young chinese lady enthusiastically preached to my associate) and a giant but vacant swimming pool. Almost nobody in the hotel speaks english. If you need any special assistance you're going to be dissappointed. It took me 20 minutes to get the front desk people to write me a note that said "Convention Center" in chinese to give to a taxi driver. There is no breakfast buffet, just dim sum, and the menu is all in chinese. We had to have the waitress order our dim-sum for us, and she guessed at what we might want and was pleased when we liked her choices (but no chicken feet, please). For business travellers, life shouldn't be quite this hard. Around the neighborhood life gets interesting, and this must be one of the central night spots in Shenzhen. If you stand in front of the hotel, there must be a half-dozen "spas" and massage centers, and another 5-6 Karioki bars. Connected to the hotel (to the right as you walk out the door) is a very expensive night club -- far over my budget. And every evening a number of highly attractive women stand in front of the hotel, talking (pretending?) on their cell phones. After ten p.m. things get very busy, bright and noisy. It's actually kind of fun to just observe. It isn't offensive or shrill such as at Pataya Beach in Thailand, and everybody leaves everybody alone unless you want to strike up a conversation. Which, in all honesty, works fine for me. One vital safety tip: at the front of the hotel there are three steps down to the street. However, there is a slight uneveness in the pavement right before the steps; probably not more than 1 cm or half-an-inch high. But I nearly fell when my heel slipped on this tiny discontinuity, and I personally observed a very pretty Chinese woman race out of the hotel, hit this ledge with her heels and fall hard, right on her face. It's the kind of thing that in the USA would dissappear after the first law-suit. Not so in China, I guess. Overall, if you speak Chinese this is a great, convenient and affordable choice. Otherwise it's a little bit difficult.

“Going Downhill.”

Adding to my earlier review. I went there again in March for a couple of nights. The quality has gone down considerably. The carpets were almost threadbare. There was a funny smell in the rooms. Rejected two rooms before taking the third with lesser smell. I think it was the detergent or polish they were using. You have to get under the table if you want to plug in your laptop or mobile phone. The coffee shop has a new menu. Fewer English speaking staff than before. They are wasting a good property in an excellent location.
