Taihu Longzhimeng Ruifeng International Hotel

We stayed at Ruifeng Hotel during our visit to the Taihu Show Town and Animal World, and it was a wonderful experience. Xiao Zhou, the hotel specialist, assisted us from start to finish and provided super service. She constantly reminded us and shared useful information, from itinerary planning to nearby dining options. We are truly grateful to her 🌹 This time, I also upgraded to an ancient town view room where I could watch the town's fireworks. The location is prime and simply stunning! The room location exceeded my expectations, highly recommended! ❤️

To anyone thinking of booking this hotel, especially if you're going to the performing arts center across the street – trust me, you'll regret it! Seriously! First off, this hotel is at least five or six years old. My room had no fridge, only one chair, and no sofa (even though other rooms did). The shower had a strong urine smell, the drain was slow, the room was run-down, and the floor wasn't properly cleaned. The air conditioning isn't central, and the AC vent cover was falling off. The curtains were torn and didn't block any light – I actually laughed at how bad they were. Secondly, if you watch the video, you can hear people dragging chairs and tables upstairs crystal clear. If you get unlucky with your neighbors, you'll hear everything, even late at night and early in the morning. You can hear someone sneeze next door, no exaggeration. The soundproofing is incredibly poor. The walls have patches, and the exterior wall is hollow! The breakfast selection was small and tasted bad. In summary, this is the worst hotel I've ever stayed in for around 1,000 yuan. The hardware is unbelievably bad and incredibly basic. The only positives were that the butler was somewhat responsible and there were fireworks. But if it rains, all you'll see is smoke from the fireworks. Our room was a corner room. This hotel's hardware is only worth 199 yuan, no more. I'd add another 200 yuan if you can see the fireworks. The performing arts center across the street is really dumb; I don't even know why people go there. It's where you'll find the lowest quality tourists from all over the country. If you don't believe me, just come once! I just wanted to see some fireworks and ended up putting myself through the worst experience.

It's been a long time since I've encountered a hotel that made me want to rant this much! The first room they gave me, they said had a better view for fireworks, but it was probably less than 20 square meters and had a smoky smell. Later, they changed me to a room that looked like the pictures with a sofa. However, when I went in, I found traces of the previous guest's bowel movement in the toilet. The balcony of this room had absolutely no view of the fireworks, so seriously, don't bother booking those 'ancient town view' rooms. The hotel lobby felt like a train station. In the morning, at breakfast, hotel staff were waiting at the entrance with a card machine to charge for children's breakfast. You're charging 1200 a night, yet you're being so petty. After walking around the breakfast area, I lost my appetite completely – not a single thing looked good. The performance venue inside was also something else; it was just a tacky snack street with a 'country-style' vibe. They said performances needed to be booked in advance, but when I tried to activate my tickets on-site, not a single one was available for booking – all were sold out. Besides the grand circus, I wouldn't recommend anything else there.

The hotel's location is great, and the rooms overlooking the ancient town offer a good view of the fireworks. However, the hotel's cleanliness was subpar (dust on tabletops, under the bed, and a strange odor from the bathroom). The hotel's service facilities also fell short; the soundproofing was terrible. When we checked in with our young child, the front desk didn't proactively ask if we needed amenities like a bed rail. By 9 PM, when we called to request one, we were told they were out, and extra blankets were also unavailable. For a resort-style family hotel, their preparation in this regard is severely lacking. The circus show was decent, but there was no staff guidance during queuing, which, like the shuttle bus queue, was chaotic and lacked any crowd control measures.

The price of over 1200 yuan during the National Day holiday is considered cheap, especially since it includes a ticket to the Grand Circus and a choice of one out of three other attractions. However, it seems the hotel management lacks experience, as there are many issues. 1. **Poor sound insulation.** Not only can you hear outside noises, but you can also hear people walking upstairs and talking next door. 2. **Curtains have gaps.** Light shines through the top and bottom of the curtains. 3. **Insect in the room.** There was a bee-like insect constantly buzzing around in the room. 4. **Inconsistent shower water.** The hot water for showering suddenly became scalding hot. In short, besides being close to the Taihu Performance Center, offering night views and fireworks, I couldn't find any other advantages.

Seriously bad, I'd advise everyone to stay away. The service was terrible, breakfast was terrible, and they charged for everything. It felt like they just wanted to rip you off once. During peak hours, I had to wait over ten minutes for the elevator. Parking was a nightmare. I'm definitely not coming back. I urge all my friends to avoid this place.

Traveling with my kids, I chose this hotel and it completely exceeded my expectations! 👍 The room was spacious, spotless, and had no strange odors. The beds were comfortable, and my child slept soundly. The hotel's facilities were excellent, and getting to the scenic spots was very quick and convenient. The staff were friendly and responded promptly to any issues. The environment was wonderful, making our stay very relaxing. It's perfect for family trips and highly recommended!

The hotel balcony offers a direct view of the fireworks. I was in room XX60 in Nanjing, but the view wasn't complete. The hotel provided a complimentary children's breakfast and a farewell gift. Honestly, if you're not skiing, finding a hotel nearby is a great option. The accommodation, breakfast, and hardware facilities are superior, and the price is about half. However, the shower room had a terrible smell after showering at night.

The hotel's location is excellent; we could see beautiful fireworks from our balcony at night without even upgrading to a fireworks view room. I recommend checking in early. The circus show was fantastic, as was the drive-through animal area. The performances at the Entertainment City were also great, though there weren't many dining options there. I'd suggest the nearby Yejia Farmhouse; the portions are generous, and the food is delicious.
