Hotels With Gym in Hebei, China

Regarding the service: I called the night before check-in to ask if I could check in early. They said it depended on check-outs and cleaning and couldn't be reserved in advance, which seemed reasonable. On the way to the hotel from Aranya, around 11 AM, I called to ask about availability. They mentioned there were three family rooms in total, and only one had been vacated but not yet cleaned. It was 'first come, first served,' but then they added that another guest had already booked it and was already at the hotel, parking. So why was it available for booking again? I arrived at the hotel 15 minutes later, and the front desk said all three family rooms were still occupied. I asked, 'Didn't you say one was checked out? Has that other customer already checked in?' The three front desk girls exchanged glances, pointed to the computer screen, and changed their story, saying one had checked out but hadn't been cleaned. I said, 'Okay, we can wait.' After about 20 minutes, we successfully checked in. At this point, I really wanted to know where that 'legendary' guest, who was supposedly already at the hotel and parking, had gone. Is there a trick to checking into hotels now? Regarding cleanliness: We booked a family room with a slide. The quilt upstairs was wrinkled, and the tatami mat downstairs had crumbs and debris on it. I used a dry towel to wipe off a bunch of dirt, which was very noticeable on the white floor tiles. If a vacuum cleaner had been used, there would probably have been even more. Helplessly, I had to ask the cleaning lady to come in and wipe it with a wet cloth. On the table next to the large bed, my hand was covered in dust with one touch, and the countertop above the refrigerator was also dusty. Regarding facilities: The hotel does not provide breakfast. The rocking horse in the room was broken and missing its ears. The two beanbag chairs in the common area were a bit useless; replacing them with tatami mats or regular sofas would be better and more practical. Something positive: The location is good, not far from attractions like Pigeon Nest Park, Tiger Stone Park, Shallow Water Bay, and Happy Bay, making it convenient to get around. It's right next to Liuzhuang Night Market, which is great for shopping and snacks. You can also stock up on various clam digging tools here in advance, and the prices are much better compared to those in the scenic areas. The hotel has its own parking lot; guests can park for free after registering their car number. However, during the May Day holiday, parking spaces were very tight. Thanks to the parking attendant who moved his own car to let us park.

I absolutely love this hotel! I first discovered it ten years ago during my initial visit to Cangzhou, and ever since, whenever I pass through, I always choose to stay here. After all these years, the hotel is still so well-maintained, which really shows their high standards. The lobby is grand, bright, and features cultural elements, offering complimentary drinks and snacks to guests. The front desk staff are warm, professional, and patient, and the lobby manager is very friendly, proactively engaging with guests and introducing local attractions. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and spacious, with windows for ventilation and humidifiers. The facilities are meticulously maintained, especially the bathroom and shower, which have grab bars for safety – a thoughtful touch. The toiletries are also high-quality. The breakfast is incredibly diverse and plentiful, with good quality. They deliver drinks, yogurt, and fruit to the room, and phone requests are handled promptly and efficiently. The parking lot is large enough, and the attendants are polite and courteous. The hotel's location is convenient, right off the Beijing-Taiwan Expressway, with beautiful surroundings and plenty of restaurants and supermarkets nearby. The attention to detail in their service truly reflects how much they value the customer experience. Highly recommended!

As foreign travellers, we ran into some difficulties purchasing attraction tickets and bus transfer due to lack of a local phone number. We met David at the concierge and asked if we could get some help to purchase. Without hesitation, he offered to purchase on our behalf and even followed up with the attraction to confirm the arrangement. Thanks to his help, we were able to visit the attraction smoothly the next day without any issues. He made us feel very welcome, and his help left us with a wonderful impression of Handan☺️ Thanks David!

I specifically booked this hotel for its proximity to the Old Street. Overall, it was great. Check-in was quick, and they even prepared balloons for the kids. However, since it was peak check-in time, the rooms took a while to get ready. I booked two rooms, and one was ready at 3:40 PM and the other at 4:30 PM, which was quite a negative experience. We did switch one of the family rooms because the front desk informed us beforehand about a wedding party checking in the next morning, which I appreciate. But one of our rooms on the same floor was still woken up around 6 AM by the noise. I'll definitely avoid staying on the same floor as a wedding party in the future. The hotel breakfast was excellent, with a nice environment and a wide variety of options. The shuttle bus to and from the Old Street runs every 30 minutes. The hotel also has an indoor play area (Naughty Castle) and a kids' water park. The Naughty Castle here is the cleanest and tidiest I've ever seen; I constantly saw hotel staff cleaning it. The water park is combined with the hot springs, and the kids had an absolute blast. The only reason I'm giving a lower rating is for the room cleaning. It seemed superficial; behind the trash can, there was a snack bowl left from another child. I hope they'll be more thorough with their cleaning in the future.

This hotel is located in the Aegean Sea Shopping Park in Tangshan's city center and shares an underground parking lot with the mall, so there's plenty of parking available. There's a dedicated elevator for the hotel in the underground parking, which means no waiting in crowded lines. The shopping center itself has numerous restaurants, making lunch and dinner incredibly convenient. The hotel rooms are quite clean, and the mattress comfort is also good. While the breakfast on the 7th floor can't compare to what you'd find in a luxury hotel, it's definitely among the best in its price range. They offer common Chinese and Western breakfast items like fried eggs, bread and toast, sausages, wontons, and tofu pudding, and everything tastes good. If you're traveling for leisure or business in the area, this hotel is definitely worth considering.

The most pleasant surprise during my stay was the service from our butler, Amy! She provided personalized, one-on-one service throughout our trip. Whether it was a room request or travel advice, she was always patient, answered all our questions, and handled everything efficiently. Her work was meticulous, and she was incredibly kind and gentle, taking care of every detail perfectly. We truly experienced the thoughtful hospitality of a high-end hotel. The value for money is excellent, and it's definitely worth coming back again and again!

The hotel boasts a prime location in the old town, within walking distance of Xingtai Museum, Kaiyuan Temple, and Qingfeng Tower. Dahuoquan Park is also easily accessible by bus, about a 20-minute ride away. There are excellent dining options nearby, including Wanda Plaza, Heijia Dumpling Restaurant, and Guangshunxing right across the street. Our room was clean, and the bedding was fresh with no unpleasant odors. Both the service and the overall ambiance were very good. A major plus is the underground parking lot equipped with slow-charging EV stations. We do have a few minor suggestions: 1. While the breakfast selection isn't extensive, there's certainly enough to fill you up. 2. For the fresh fruit, we noticed bananas were cut in half. It might be better to serve them whole, as the cut surfaces tend to blacken quickly. 3. The soy milk served was quite diluted.

The hotel and the downstairs hot spring are bundled together, making check-in rather cumbersome. You first need to store your shoes at the hot spring to retrieve your wristband, then go up to the third-floor guest room area. No toiletries or towels are provided in the room; it's assumed you shower downstairs. When I asked the third-floor guest room reception, they said there's no shower in the room and you have to go downstairs. The hot spring reception staff said the same thing, adding that the water in the room is quite cold and you can shower downstairs anytime. But have they considered parents with children of the opposite sex? Basically, it's like you play in the hot spring, shower, and then go back to your room to sleep. Overall, it's alright, passable if you can manage.

Nearly ten stays in two years, turning this hotel into a warm haven I call home. Nestled amidst the hustle and bustle of Sports South Street in Shijiazhuang, the Venice Water World Hotel is, for me, far more than just a place to stay. Over the past two years, eight (closer to ten now) visits have instilled in me a unique sense of familiarity – a feeling of stepping not into a hotel, but returning to a familiar and warm home every single time. My first choice was probably due to its excellent location and the allure of 'Water World,' but what keeps bringing me back is that indescribable 'home' feeling. From the moment I push open the hotel doors, the familiar Baroque-style decor greets my eyes, a faint fragrance permeates the air, and the front desk staff always know my surname, greeting me with a 'Welcome home, Mr./Ms. X,' instantly melting away my travel fatigue. I absolutely love the hotel's food; it's simply incredible! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 You must try their Roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), and the breakfast spread is particularly rich and diverse. The hotel rooms consistently maintain a reassuring level of cleanliness and comfort. The bedding is just right for a good night's sleep, and the soundproofing is excellent, allowing for peaceful nights even in the bustling city. What touches me even more are the subtle touches of care: the humidifier, eye masks, and earplugs always available in the room are a godsend for someone like me who has specific sleep environment preferences. With each stay, I notice small updates to the room facilities, perhaps a new decorative item or upgraded toiletries. This continuous dedication makes me feel the hotel's relentless pursuit of quality. And 'Water World' is always a highlight I must experience. After a day of work or sightseeing, soaking in the hotel's bathhouse or swimming a few laps in the heated pool makes all fatigue disappear. The bathing facilities here are well-maintained, the water is clear, the environment is elegant, and the staff are always there when you need them, without being intrusive. What I find most unforgettable is the hotel's personalized service. I remember one time I accidentally left a coat in my room. After contacting the hotel, they not only kept it safe but also proactively arranged for it to be couriered back to me. This sense of responsibility and thoughtfulness made me feel completely at ease. Over the past two years and nearly ten stays, the Venice Water World Hotel has witnessed my business trips and also accommodated my leisure time. It has never shown any neglect despite my frequent visits; instead, each time it has surprised me with new delights and consistent warmth. It's not just a hotel; it's more like a 'home away from home' in Shijiazhuang, a sanctuary where I can let my guard down and rest peacefully. If you're also looking for a hotel that gives you that 'home' feeling, then the Shijiazhuang Venice Water World Hotel is definitely worth a try. Trust me, once you experience the warmth and service here, you'll feel, just like me, that it's your other home in Shijiazhuang.

The front desk staff were really enthusiastic and helpful. The towels in the room, however, were a bit stiff. Breakfast was excellent, especially the 'Guo Bao Rou' (sweet and sour pork), which was delicious. I also got to try the local specialty, 'Dou Mo' (a savory bean paste soup), which was also very tasty, but it's not available every day. Overall, I had a great experience.
