“Dirty, Smelly, Molded”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2009
1
person found this review helpful

You should try every effort to AVOID this hotel!!

The room is smelly, you can find mold on the carpet and on the wall. The bathroom is poorly maintained and the towels are dirty. The corridor is dark, sticky and smelly too. I am not looking for something deluxe but just a room to sleep -- this hotel still fails!!

Be careful not to confuse this Mingyuan Hotel (low-rise) with the other Mingyuan Xindu Hotel (high-rise). They are located next to each other sharing some recreational facilities but they are two totally different grade hotels.

“Terrible”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 July 2008
1
person found this review helpful

If you love nice hotels, don't go there! NEVER!

Of course I didn't book it myself, because if you look at the pictures on the website and you are used to Chinese hotels, you will understand immediately what it can be like. And facts proved me true!! And I will tell you why...

LOBBY: typical Chinese hotel lobby, want-to-be luxurious and very cheap.

CORRIDOR: an horrible smell attacks you as soon as you get out of the elevator...

ROOM: the smell gets a bit better, but opening the window will help as well... The bathroom is nothing special and not too clean. You have to pay for the Internet (in my opinion, they should pay me to stay, but well...). I didn't watch TV so I can't say anything about that. The only good thing was the bed, really hard (other reviewers hated it, but if you like hard beds it's nice) and I could at least have a good sleep.

BREAKFAST: REEEEEEEEAAALLY not a 5-Star breakfast, but you can still have some cereals...

RESTAURANT: now, I have to say, the restaurant was good. We had a business dinner in the evening and a lunch the day after (dinner, Chinese cuisine; lunch, Western) and both were very good. ...but you don't need to sleep there to enjoy the restaurant, am I wrong??

Finally, I rated the hotel "Terrible" because it's really not "Okay" for a 5 stars. I think it could be OK for a 3 stars, so they should get a new star rating, or renovate the hotel.

Another little thing: if you like "smashed" Chinese hotels (some people do, a colleague of mine loved the Mingyuan) that's your place to stay in Nanning!

“This hotel is sooooooo bad”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 April 2008

I don't know how people find this hotel deserve even one star. Yes the hotel looks fine from inside. But going up to the room, the matress is like sleeping on wood or sleeping on the floor. Room service is aweful and they said there is breakfast included in the room charge. Next morning I went downstairs to what they called resturants, I found out that all resturants are booked for some silly confrense and they said we are sorry there is only small corner had some food INCLUDED IN THE ROOM. From the first look to the food, I realized that I can not put anything in my mouth. I have booked four nights but I decided to leave immediately today after the first aweful night.

I do not recommend this hotel guys.

“Loved our stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 April 2008

The rooms were clean and well kept. The staff was great and very helpful. We were adopting our daughter and the hotel staff already had a crib, clean drinking water available in our room at our arrival. We loved the location, very close to the shopping and park. Directly behind the hotel is the People Park a very quaint, beautiful park. I would definitely stay here again.

“Beware!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 April 2008

Don't be deceived by the picture on the website. You won't be staying there. Instead they will say that your room is in the other building around the back. Its far less luxurious and the bedrooms were univiting. The mattresses were about as comfortable as sleeping on the floor. However, staff were friendly, but I won't be going back.
