This is my first time writing a hotel review, and I'm genuinely quite dissatisfied ☹️.
Normally, most hotels allow check-in by 2 PM at the absolute latest, but Nuo Hotel requires check-in at 4 PM. While it was disclosed on the details page, disclosure doesn't necessarily mean it's reasonable. A 4 PM check-in is truly baffling to me.
Secondly, the service was particularly poor. I asked Ms. Wang Bing, a staff member in the lobby, about the check-in time. When she told me it was 4 PM, I expressed that it was very unreasonable. She didn't say much in response, but I immediately felt a subtle hint of sarcasm and impatience on her face. The same attitude was evident when I later asked for directions to the takeaway locker. It was quite infuriating.
Furthermore, during the check-in process, no one guided us on how to get around the hotel. It was a chaotic mess of walking and constantly climbing stairs! Even getting from the lobby to the first floor involved stairs. After a tiring day at Universal, having our room located at the farthest end of the South Wing made the experience even worse. Also, when we returned to pick up our luggage at 11 PM, there was no one around. The entire hotel lobby had only one person on duty. You had to wait for each person in front of you to complete their check-in before you could get your luggage. For a hotel that starts at 1500 yuan a night, can they really only have one person on duty at night?
Finally, regarding the hotel's layout and cleanliness: the first time I filled the bathtub, the bottom was incredibly dirty, with a lot of tiny dust particles, or something similar. And, in the shower area, even with the door closed, water would still splash out into the hallway, immediately soaking my slippers. There's no place to put a bath mat – if you put one down, the door won't close, and if you don't, the outside gets all wet. The bathroom door only opens outwards, making it impossible to get to the toilet. I've never seen a hotel with such an ill-conceived design.
If this hotel were very cheap, I might be more forgiving, as you get what you pay for. But for a hotel costing over 1500-2000 yuan a night, from service to hygiene to layout, everything was unreasonable. Is this a case of a big brand taking advantage of customers?
