Xing Lun Hotel

I was very disappointed in the security of this hotel. Firstly, when we came back to the hotel on the second day at ~6pm ish, we found our room door open with no one inside. Apparently, one of the cleaning ladies left our door open after they finished cleaning and it was like that for hours! I went downstairs to the lobby to talk to the the front desk and they went with us back to the room to see if we lost anything. Luckily we did not lose anything of value but this was a huge disappointment! Another incident happened when we were in the lobby. An prior guest had walked in and said that they forgot to return the spare key when they checked out. The receptionist then put that key down on the table and had walked off. This was shocking to me because 1. They didn't log who had requested for spare keys. They give only 1 key and then any additional was to be requested and they didn't log this at all 2. Each key was marked with the room # so it's the same key that prior guests and future guests will be using. If this is the case, they need to have better security!

This is a decent medium range hotel however I have a few grievances with it. Firstly I was checked in to a twin room instead of a double, and the twin room in question had water all over the floor. The room was promptly changed however to what I had booked, after I went back down to reception. Then, the hotel is advertised as having a gym, but it doesn’t. The receptionist told me I could go to a gym nearby at extra cost. The towels provided aren’t proper towels, they’re thin single use towels, the kind provided in hospitals. Other than that, the room was spacious and reasonably comfortable, the location isn’t bad, there’s a mall next door but it takes more than 20 minutes to walk to the nearest metro and the route is… quite the sensory experience. Altogether this isn’t a bad hotel but I specifically booked it because it advertised itself as having a gym so I was left disappointed.

Convenient location is the only good thing about this place. Impossible to lock the doors (even the one in the bathroom). Stains, chipped furniture, god knows what happened to that wall… The place is relatively clean though. But I was quite annoyed that cleaning Ayi entering the room even with the sign “Do not disturb” hanging on the door knob. To avoid your guests’ disappointment please use the real photos of your rooms or make the rooms look like the photos. Never again.

Nice place but for forigens its far away from facilitites Good luck
