Junyu Grand Hotel

“Séjour très confortable”

Nous avons passé 5 nuits (pour assister à un mariage organisé dans l'hôtel). Les chambres étaient très agréable - généreux taille et très chic.

Nous avons passé 5 nuits (pour assister à un mariage organisé dans l'hôtel). Les chambres étaient très agréable - généreux taille et très chic. Nous avons mangé dans l'hôtel une ou deux fois et la nourriture était incroyable (surtout un banquet dans le bar Teppanyaki). L'hôtel était très animé car il y avait de nombreux mariages et événements pendant notre séjour (donc les ascenseurs étaient un peu chaotique). Le service de chambre était correct (changement des draps etc chaque jour, ce qui n'était pas nécessaire, mais nous voulions les bouteilles d'eau gratuites chaque jour !) Une ou deux fois, nous avons dû demander à l'eau pour l'une de nos chambres. Nous avions interprètes chinois dans notre groupe et nous avons donc laissé les discussions avec le personnel de l'hôtel pour eux. Le buffet du petit déjeuner était considérable (principalement style chinois, mais il y avait beaucoup de choix). Le seul ennui, c'est que la nourriture n'était pas toujours chaud. Pour nous, c'était un très bon rapport qualité/prix, car nous avons fait partie d'un groupe, nous avions un tarif spécial - je ne sais pas comment cela se compare avec le tarif normal. Le parking et la circulation dans la région sont assez chaotique - il faut faire attention quand on marche nulle part (impression générale est la circulation à Qinhuangdao est plus chaotique/moins respectueux de la loi, que de Pékin).

“Value for Money”

Travelled to Qinhuangdao via Beijing....reached Beijing by flight and travelled to Qinhunagdao by fast train 2hr 30 mins approx. Qinhuangdao is a typical holiday city. Booked this hotel through ctrip at 700 RMB against Hotel rates of 995 RMB which was quite decent. Language is the biggest hurdle… Plus

Travelled to Qinhuangdao via Beijing....reached Beijing by flight and travelled to Qinhunagdao by fast train 2hr 30 mins approx. Qinhuangdao is a typical holiday city. Booked this hotel through ctrip at 700 RMB against Hotel rates of 995 RMB which was quite decent. Language is the biggest hurdle. The rooms themselves are quite good, spacious with decent furniture and fittings, fast free wifi and TV with over 100 channels (one of which is in English, the CCN News channel). Overall a comfortable place to be. The view from the higher floors is good also, especially when the air clears. The room tariff included breakfast which had good options like steamed vegetables, boiled eggs, omletts, indian rotis, hot chocolate, yogurt, variety of breads, cakes, fruits though not a big variety but enough for almost vegetarian person like me. Never had dinner since costly. But understood has numerous traditional Chinese options are available for dining however, and if you have a Chinese speaker with you ordering is easy else you can drop plans to have a dinner. There are some user level english speaking receptionists however the language barrier was too large. The gym/fitness centre is not complimentary, an additional fee needs to be paid per use, and the swimming pool while being a reasonable size is jam packed with people so is no good for fitness swimming. The staff are very helpful barring english language skills where they could be and always very pleasant. I stayed for 20 days and once I was not well for 2 days the staff escorted me to the local hospital on both Saturday and Sunday. I owe the hotel staff my health. Laundry service prices are quite expensive however very quick. Lead time 4 hrs. In the area immediately around the hotel there is a Ugrant supermarket across the road which is good for consumables, toiletries, snacks and drinks (inluding beer and wine at good prices), Pizza Hut around the corner, a KFC across the road which is a big relief if you are not in tune with the Chinese Food taste. The bathroom and the toilet used to stink at times due to improper drainage of pee. The hotel is very lively since it hosts a lot of weddings. So a very nice place to be with family for holidays.

“Exceeded expections”

Very nice hotel a manageable distance by foot from the railway station. The staff at the front desk were okay in English and very helpful to us in getting around. We had a room on the 20th floor and breakfast is served on the 25th so we had a panoramic view of our part of the city. Half a block tow… Plus

We had a room on the 20th floor and breakfast is served on the 25th so we had a panoramic view of our part of the city. Half a block towards the train station is a bus stop for the 33 bus which will take you to the front gate of the first pass of the Great Wall. Reasonable taxi from there will take you to Jiao Shan, where the Great Wall meets its first mountain. Steep hike up steps on the wall or easier path alongside, allow an hour each direction, more if you stop to take a lot of pictures.

“falling down”

I stayed at the Junyu Grand Hotel in Qinhuangdao for one night as part of a trip of north-east China. The hotel used to be part of Best Western, but it is not the case any longer. Only some logos are still present in the rooms. It is clear that the hotel is losing sparkle and that it is slowly fall… Plus

I stayed at the Junyu Grand Hotel in Qinhuangdao for one night as part of a trip of north-east China. The hotel used to be part of Best Western, but it is not the case any longer. Only some logos are still present in the rooms. It is clear that the hotel is losing sparkle and that it is slowly falling down. Guest rooms are only available as of the 17th floor so the hotel is not suited for people scared of heights. Rooms are reasonably spacious, but they are dusty. The carpet is dirty with stains of different origin. Toilet paper is only available in thin rolls so one regularly needs to ask for more. Breakfast is served on the 25th floor, thus creating bottlenecks with the lifts. Not to be recommended.
