Booked this hotel because of its quite good ratings on almost all booking sites, however, I really got disappointed...

PROS:
+ There is no metro- or traffic-related noise (elevated road directly in front of the building) in the room (at least this was the case in our room, as it has no out-facing window)
+ Cheap rates

CONS:
- The room is so small that you can't open a normal sized suitcase
- Everything in the hotel is old and really needs to be renovated
- The room is really NOT clean at all, e.g. there is hair and other stuff sticking at the bathroom walls (don't want to know what that is exactly), brown-ish stains on the curtains, dirt sticking on the walls, the glass, leaking pipes in the bathroom and so on...
- Something in the bathroom was leaking, so there was always water on the bathroom floor
- The room has no out-facing window, therefore you can't get fresh air in. Light is coming from a roofed indoor corridor.
- The bed is seriously hard and uncomfortable, might be because it's old.
- The walls in the hotel are SOO thin. You can hear EVERYONE in the corridors and even from the room on the opposing side talking. As you may know, Chinese tend to talk loud and there is constantly someone in the corridor talking on the phone. In addition, our room was near the dining hall which was filled with people almost every day at lunch and at night with working people eating and holding conferences (very loud laughing and hand clapping) there. If you don't fall asleep easily, at least ask for a room as FAR away as possible.
- The hotel position feels like far far away from civilization as there are no residents in the close neighboorhood. Therefore, there are non of the typical street shops such as dumpling shops or supermarkets, only a very small Family Mart on the other side of the building.
- You get prostitute ads every other day slided through underneath the door.
- And - maybe as a result of that and the walls being very thin - you hear your neighbors getting intimate. Just as annoying as screaming little kids.
- As neither the door nor the window is really tight, any small from outside (cooking food or smoke) just comes into the room.
- The hotel staff was not willing to call a taxi over on our departure.

If I'd think about it, I could probably go on with the list for ages. But just to sum it up: I would never book this again and would never recommend anyone to book a stay here.
