Hi, we are from Azerbaijan 🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿. We booked this hotel via booking for 4 people. Arrived on the 6th of August and stayed until the 11th of August. Everything was on a highest level, especially service, personnel, attitude. All the personnel is so kind and friendly, everyone is trying to help and even if they don't know the language, they use translator in order to support us. Dear Mr Johnson helped us with every single thing, was answering all the questions. We were not able to make a payment of the hotel due to card blockage (foreign card) and he did not hurry us, told us to relax enjoy our trip and pay it whenever we fix the problem with the bank. Fortunately, we fixed on the second day of the stay. Whenever we called and asked something, he organized it very fast. Additionally, he was answering our questions through WeChat as well and he is the only English speaker at the hotel, which makes the communication much easier. 👍🏽 Unfortunately, don't know the tall guy's name on the front desk. He was extra supportive as well. Hope you understand who is he. 🙏🏽 All personnel in the whole hotel, all people at the front desk were friendly, gave us drinks, chargers etc. Additionally, want to mention Olivia. She was in touch with us right from the moment when we made our booking, she reached us. Despite the fact, that we could only arrange one-way pick up or dropoff, Olivia arranged both for us, as our dropoff railway station was a bit far. Extra thanks to her for this 🌸 Perfect hotel, definitely must be your choice in your visit (additionally, we had breakfast and supper), super clean and modern hotel, friendly, very supportive and kind personnel. 💕 🇦🇿🇨🇳 Tövsiyə edirik 💯

This hotel amazed me with their 5 stars services Upon the arrival, the hotel not manage to get the room ready on time, but they immediately compensate the breakfast without hesitation which really top class of PR disaster recovery. Their laundry service also impressed me as I only need to drop my cloth into washing machine, their staff will assist to put into dryer even it's midnight and the next day morning, the cloth appear at your doorstep. Wonderful job Their breakfast not a lot of choice but each day dishes is different and it's with Shanghai style. Really impressive. All the staffs here is very helpful and do their best to make every customers feel at home. Thumbs up to the team.
