Howard Johnson Hot Springs Hotel Chaozhou

Location is off, not convenient as need to take Didi out to town. The place is rundown, hotel room container is empty not topped up with shampoo and shower gel. Used my own instead. Seems this is operating at 30 percent or less. 1st room given to us on the 4th floor smelt like it has not been occupied for a very long time, furniture and all is very old defunct like and no Aircon at the corridor walkway. Asked to change rooms which they did, thankfully. No food or restaurant to order food. Need to go out and buy or order in. A simple breakfast was provided the next morning. Tried the hotspring no but big deal not sure how frequently they change out the water in the hot springs, hygiene concerning. Mosquitoes everywhere. Had to pay for the usage of the hotspring though I booked a room there. If rejuvenated it would be a nice place to attract visitors. Peaceful & quiet place to get away from the crowds.

If you are looking for a quiet hotel in the area well connected to the train station, this is it. Everyone in the hotel were genuinely friendly and helpful. Room was clean and specious, although if you are a non smoker better inform the hotel to prepare a room without the cigarette smell. They have Chinese style breakfast. During the weekdays, with only few guest, there weren't much choice, but everything was good. During weekends with more guests there were a lot of options. Only if they have real coffee, not instant... Hot Springs Area was additionally paid 88 per person, open 14-21. It was a very nice experience, but expect a lot of people during weekends. Unfortunately while inside, you cannot to go to the hotel restaurant to eat something, but you can order waimai. Overall we had a very pleasant stay and big thanks to the front desk staff for all the support 😊

Nice～
