Qianhe Rishan River View Hotel

Clean room, easy check-in, and gorgeous views from the 44th floor! The elevator was a bit slow and very crowded during the day but that wasn't a huge issue. Exactly what we needed.

Location: amazing view. Probably the best I've ever had in any hotel. But it was difficult to reach the room at first. The reception is located on the 47th floor and the room at the 44th. So first you need to take the first two elevators to the reception. Later you can use the last two for the room. Confusing, but once you have experienced it you get used to it. All major attractions are close to the hotel. If you are willing to walk for ~20 min you can reach a lot. Other than that Didi takes you there quickly (even during international workers holiday). You also have a convenience store, some restaurants and a pharmacy close by. Service: room service was great. Cleaned daily and the bed sheets were made too. The receptionists were not really friendly and treated us not very personalized. But the cleaning staff is nice haha. Room: amazing view, bed is comfortable but very squeaky and loud (was a little annoying), shower is great, bathtub features red LEDs. The TV has smart TV where you can order English movies. The room even has a sauna. A downside was that the door is pretty loud when closed uncontrolled. Therefore you sometimes hear neighboring room doors or people speaking. Didn't bother too much though.

Exactly as described by the hotel, it's the mid of winter so the view is not exactly 4K quality due to the fog but it's suffice! Soft light penetrates into the room as the sun rises behind the bed frame, location of the hotel is conveniently situated right next to JieFangBei (Liberation Square), providing plenty of sightseeing and shopping opportunities right at your door step. The staffs were incredibly efficient and helpful, treating the well being of the guests as their first priority. Value for money, highly recommend!
