Not all hotels in China provide a true international standard of service - but this hotel certainly did. I stayed for 2 nights, and thought it was an excellent 5-star hotel. I would love to stay here again, it was an excellent experience.
Staff speak good English, and are friendly and professional. As soon as the check in lady realised I was a female traveling alone, I was given a lovely 'ladies room' and it was a real treat - all the amenities I could want. Comfortable bed, bathtub and shower, international stations on the tv, spacious and quiet. The rooms here seem well set up for business travelers, with a well-equipped and large desk (with stapler, etc). Good block out curtains, no traffic noise.
Check in was smooth, easy and professional, and the conceige was very helpful. Valet was friendly too, had no trouble geting me a taxi when I needed it, even waving away the first taxi who wanted an exhorbitant flat rate. He got me a taxi driver willing to use the meter instead.
I loved the restaurant here - decent buffet breakfast, excellent dinners on both nights I ate here... the downside was that you weren't given a menu, but were taken to a room with lots of pictures and examples of all the dinner dishes (which I suppose makes choosing easier)... I made a different dish request and it was granted no problem. Cheap beer prices in the restaurant (not so in the lobby bar though! Nice as the lobby bar was). The upstairs restaurant also had a kids' playroom attached to it... only saw 1 kid there, but I'd definitely stay here with my family. Waitresses were very friendly and attentive.
The location is hard to beat - right at the Futian market, 5mins drive from the bus station. Not far to walk to little convenience stores and restaurants on the outside of the market, where the locals eat lunch and where you can get a great bowl of noodles/wonton soup for 5rmb. Also nearby are a couple of Bank of Chinas, and down at the beginning of District 4 is a China Post (where it was easy to ship stuff home... one English-speaking staff member, and they box it up for you too... after having a good look through what you're sending first!)
The clientele of this hotel were a large part international... which is probably why it keeps such good international standards. I'd absolutely and wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Yiwu.
