This trip to Changsha was purely a spur-of-the-moment decision, so I kept thinking about where to stay on the high-speed rail. Niccolo and Park Hyatt both lacked some imagination, and I also thought about 6,500 or something, but finally decided on Changsha Youdu. It was almost 1 a.m. when I arrived at the store. The front desk guy was polite and gave me a fruit plate. Overall, Changsha Youdu is a representative of the Instagram style, plus the theme of the book, which can more or less hit the point of some people.
1. Geographical location. The location is not bad, No. 93 Zhongshan Road, Changsha South Station taxi to about 37 yuan (return trip too). There are many hotels around, various styles, including Xiangjiang Hotel 1968, which is also within 200 meters. The building is easy to recognize, clean, and Instagram style. Looking out the window, you can see the IFS building, which is theoretically very close. It only costs 11 yuan to take a taxi to the Provincial Museum (15 yuan for the return trip).
2. Internal facilities of the room. The volume of about 50 rooms should be a renovation of a residential building. The interior decoration style is very obvious, the materials are also quite exquisite, the air conditioning is OK, the sound is within an acceptable range, and a large projection is made with a XGIMI box opposite the bed, so I continued the habit of lying down and watching movies to spend the weekend. Because it is a suite, the space is OK. The shower room and the bathroom are set separately. The shower is a bit slow to get hot water in the early morning, but it is OK during the day. The water pressure and water volume are OK, but when switching between the movable shower and the ceiling shower, there is no hot water for more than 10 seconds, so I simply use the movable shower again. This is the only shortcoming. The mattress and bedding are OK, and there will be no discomfort. There are many settings for various lighting (curtain) modes in the room, which basically meet the needs of various scenarios.
3. The accessories and Dyson hair dryers, tea bags, snack bags, etc. are OK.
4. As for sound insulation, it may be because I live on the 7th floor (top floor). Although there is an elevator door at the door, I don’t feel the sound of people walking or the opening and closing of the elevator door. Occasionally, there are people talking in the corridor, and they are just one or two sounds.
5. Breakfast and afternoon tea. The breakfast grid is creative and not wasteful, and the noodles are very heartwarming. I didn't get the afternoon tea because of my own problems, but I believe the product is not bad, because there was a small cake in the grid that tasted good in the morning.
6. The setting and feeling of the public area on the first floor are good. The restaurant space on the second floor is quite design-oriented. Although the gym is small, there is also a space for children to play. It is better in terms of care; the laundry room is closed and not entered.
7. The surrounding facilities, the earth stove of the grandfather's house downstairs is delicious, and many locals come. The sauerkraut pig blood soup and the pot of local pork are delicious (one person ordered these), and I believe the others are also delicious.
8. Team. It can be seen that the operator of the entire hotel is a cultural person with a certain humanistic sentiment, not a pure businessman who is only interested in profit. The employees are all decent (including the big sister who is responsible for cooking noodles for breakfast). Even when leaving the store, a little brother was embarrassed to tell me that he hoped to have a comment. In a word, it is a group of people who want to serve guests and run the hotel well with their own hands. The terrace is not open yet, but I think the notice is very interesting, so I took a photo to share with you: Dear guests: The terrace of the hotel is not open to the public for various reasons. This is our regret, and we hope you will forgive us. When it is completed in the future, we will invite you to enjoy the sky and clouds, and enjoy the breeze and the bright moon. I hope you will not be offended, we will be very grateful. "It makes me, a middle-aged literary man, ashamed (because I can't write it myself). In short, it is a boutique hotel with characteristics, sincerity, and theme. I hope it can survive well in the competitive market!
