Shanshuizhijian Apartment (Chiling Road)

Close to the sea, near the subway entrance, convenient for travel, the room is super clean, I often stay here

This is a type of facility that rents out a room in a building as a lodging. If you don't speak Chinese, you should not use this facility. You will definitely regret it. There were various problems, but you are required to be patient and use the tools you can use to solve them like a role-playing game. First of all, the check-in procedure documents that were supposed to be sent in advance were not sent. Since I knew the address, I went directly to the building. The building receptionist did not speak even simple English, so I had to use translation software to communicate. Also, since it was not the reception of the lodging, they would issue me a card key to use the elevator, but I had to ask the lodging for the security code to open the room door, and I managed to get it with the help of the building receptionist using a free call from trip.com. There was no information about the WIFI access point and password in the room. I had no choice but to ask the building receptionist again to check. A while after entering the room, only this room lost power. The building receptionist again used translation software to call a maintenance person to check. He said that the electricity meter was broken. However, the electricity was temporarily restored and we were able to use it that day. I tried to take a shower at night, but there was no hot water. Since it was late at night, I had no choice but to take a shower with cold water. When I checked the next day, I found out that the cause was that the water heater in the shelf in the room (hidden by a door) needed to be turned on. This kind of trap is common. The next day, when I returned from going out, the power was out again in the room and the electricity was not working. As expected, I contacted trip.com to complain. Then the owner contacted me and said that he would change the room. I was moved to the room next door. This required packing my luggage and reissuing the elevator card. Although they said it was a room with the same conditions, there was no microwave. As such, fatal problems will come up many times during your stay, so it is necessary to be patient and solve them. It is really unfortunate to be tied up for hours dealing with such problems during your trip. It's inevitable that there will be a difference between the level of expectations of Chinese people and Japanese people when it comes to hotels, but most of the reviews on Trip.com for Chinese accommodations are written by Chinese people, so in that case I think it's best to assume that the rating is about half of the actual rating. As for cleanliness, the sheets were changed, but the place was not very clean overall. There were issues with aging everywhere. If you can't speak Chinese, you should definitely not stay at this accommodation.
