“The old east wing is shabby, but clean, affordable, and well located”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 July 2010

I spent 2 nights in the older east building. Unlike the fancy (and expensive) west building, the east building is long overdue for renovation. The wallpaper was peeling, carpet and tile were worn, etc. Nonetheless, my double for single use was clean and comfortable and met my needs quite well, all for a very low rate. The staff at the east building reception desk were eager to help, although they spoke little English; one of them even walked me around the block to make sure I found the restaurant I was seeking. The staff at the west building spoke English well and were always available to assist.

Breakfast in the east wing was included in my room charge. A substantial Chinese buffet was available on both days. On the first day, but not the second, there was also a person preparing eggs - the scrambled eggs with herbs were delicious. Coffee-drinkers should take be forewarned, though - the coffee was overly strong and instant.

“Safe and clean budget hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2009

The Yingze Hotel is a 4* establishment, but next door to it is the old Yingze Hotel, which was built in the 1950s or 60s (I should think) for top officials and is now a much cheaper hotel. Room rates for the old block begin at about 150 RMB for a single room. It is an excellent place to stay, but the hotel's website gives no sign of its existence. You'll have to actually turn up to get a room. On the other hand I doubt it would ever be full up. Everything is solidly built, the staff are friendly and standards of cleanliness are high. All the facilities of the 4* hotel next door are also available if you need them. Both hotels are run by the provincial government and correspondingly respectable. The location is also excellent for anyone wanting to use public transport as well as being safe and (relatively speaking) not too noisy.

“Good choice”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2005
3
people found this review helpful

A very good hotel Recommended. Great swimming pool, duly heated. I paid 390 Yuan per day for a good double-bedded room. Unfortunately, breakfast is NOT included. As usual, hardly anyone speaks English, except for one or two girls at the reception counter. Location is in a good part of town, right opposite an excellent park. KFC outlet right next door. All in all, a good choice.
