Chaozhou Yuyu Hotel

Coming back to Zhejiang from Hainan, I made a stop in Chaozhou and stayed at the Chaozhou Yuyu for two days. This hotel opened in 2024, so it's super clean, and the rooms are spacious. Breakfast offers a great variety, and the dining area is always bustling. The hotel even has its own underground parking, which was incredibly convenient for me since I was driving.

The hotel isn't in the bustling city center, which makes it pretty quiet. It's about 8 kilometers to Guangji Bridge and Paifang Street. The decor is quite modern and looks clean and tidy. Parking is also very convenient. For over 1000 RMB on Chinese New Year's Day, it was a pretty good value-for-money option during the Spring Festival. Even though there were a lot of guests recently, including tour groups, the front desk and restaurant staff handled everything seamlessly. On the contrary, their attitude was friendly and well-organized, and the restaurant cleared tables and dishes incredibly quickly. Highly recommend! The young lady at the front desk, whose surname I think was Huang (I peeked at her name tag), was very pretty and had a lovely smile. She explained everything in great detail, no matter how small. So, when it comes to service, it really depends on the individual staff, not just the hotel's star rating.

Better late than never for this review! This hotel was clean, quiet, and the service was excellent. The breakfast spread was also very satisfying. Even though it's a bit far from Guangji Bridge, it was amazing to find such a great value-for-money hotel during peak season.

The room was very spacious with a great ambiance and good soundproofing, so we weren't disturbed during our rest. The service was also very attentive, and we even received small gifts like a fridge magnet and a keychain upon check-in – really thoughtful! **Facilities:** Besides being well-equipped, the underground parking garage has charging stations, there are USB ports on both sides of the bed, and the shower room, with its wet-dry separation, even has hooks for hanging clothes. So many thoughtful details! Definitely worth commending and recommending! **Hygiene:** The entire room was very neat and clean. **Service:** Extremely thoughtful. From check-in to check-out, everything was attentive. They even specially changed our room because of road construction outside.

Overall, this hotel was pretty good value during the peak winter holiday season. You need a key card to access the upper floors, which felt very secure. The breakfast was standard but sufficient. Aside from the somewhat remote location, everything else was great.
