Vienna Hotel (Anqiu World Trade Center)

The room was spotless and hygienic, making for a very pleasant stay. They even upgraded me to a lake-view room free of charge. The breakfast was clean and hygienic, and the gym was also good. Highly recommended.

I booked a river-view room. The room was huge, clean, and the environment was quite nice. It was right by the river; you could see the river as soon as you opened the curtains. I don't know what it's called, though. There's also a food street behind the hotel; the local food was delicious 😋.

1. The hotel facilities are outdated, and compared to Huazhu or other hotels, the price of 203 is extremely poor value for money. 2. Most importantly, the service is exceptionally bad. Check-out was at 2 PM, and I called to urge them before 1:30 PM. I was on a conference call in my room at 2 PM, and check-out time was 1:26 PM. The front desk staff actually said they would charge for the late check-out. This is outrageous and absurd. Even small guesthouses don't do this, let alone chain hotels. I casually mentioned that Huazhu Group hotels usually allow for extended check-out times in special circumstances. The front desk's response was: "Sorry, we're part of the Jinjiang Group." Compared to Huazhu, Jinjiang is inferior in terms of quality control, brand, and revenue, yet they constantly send people to Huazhu to "steal" their skills—what have they learned?! 3. The front desk demanded good reviews, using the 26-minute late check-out as an excuse to charge a fee. Good reviews are earned through service, not through threats. In other words, if they want a good review, they might give one against their conscience for the sake of performance targets, but threatening customers for good reviews is just unbelievable. 4. Poor soundproofing, extremely noisy. Overall: Very unfriendly to business travelers, let alone tourist accommodations.

The staff were very friendly and even gave us a kite sticker as a small gift. The location was also good. The only downsides were that the carpets and chairs weren't very clean, and the breakfast wasn't very tasty or varied. However, the rooms were cheap and offered great value for money.
