The hotel is conveniently located close to the old part of Shantou (10-15 minute walk) with plenty of shops, conveniently stores, pharmacies and restaurants within 5 minutes radius. You need to walk two minutes to get to the big gongyuen (park). The rooms with queensize beds are big enough. Public areas and rooms are kept fairly clean and bug free. I have seen a lot worse in other Shantou hotels.
Bathrooms are OK. They are kept clean enough but will soon need a bit of renovation. By that I mean that some of the silicone along the glas walls and some
of the edges along the tiled walls are a bit moldy. But again - Ive seen a lot worse in other Shantou hotels.
Bathrooms are also a bit old and simple - as is true for many other Shantou hotels. By that I mean that you get a bathroom with door, sink, toilet and shower but the shower is NOT a separate space with its own shower pan and walls/doors. As a result most of the bathroom floor is wet once you have showered.
The hotel has a nice and clean laundry room with two washing machines, a dryer and a sink. Laundry detergent is provided. I would rather have one washing machine and two dryers as I had to wait for the dryer on several occasions.
Hotel has no restaurant so you cannot book breakfast. Friendly staff.
Would I stay at this hotel again? Yes - if the price is right - which is basically a matter of timing. I stood in Shantou for a couple days - left - came back - left - came back. During this time the price for a room at this hotel heavily fluctuated (almost doubled). So - if the price is on the higher end of the spectrum I would rather pay a bit on top and get a „better“ hotel. If price is on the lower end of the spectrum I would happily book and stay at Binyue Hotel.
