"【This new Orange Hotel in Pingxiang, I'd call it my 'happy hometown in a border town'!】
Seriously, you guys! I came to Pingxiang for a business trip and decided to stay at this newly opened Orange Hotel. It completely changed my perception of 'new chain hotels' – clean, convenient, and great service. Plus, everything's brand new, making for a super comfortable stay!
First, the location is absolutely perfect! It's right on Xinhua Road in Pingxiang city center. Turn right out the door, walk five minutes, and you're in a food street with stalls selling sour snacks, Vietnamese rolled rice noodles, and dessert shops one after another. You can stroll around in the evening and try all the local delicacies. Even a lazy person like me couldn't resist going every day. Getting to nearby attractions like Detian Waterfall and Mingshi Pastoral is only a 30-minute taxi ride. And for getting around the city, it's even easier – buses and subways are convenient, no detours needed. It's truly a 'step out and go' kind of place~
The service is genuinely warm! The front desk lady wore an orange hoodie and had the sweetest smile. She proactively helped me with my luggage during check-in and asked, ”Would you like an extra pillow?” The housekeeping auntie cleaned so meticulously, she even arranged my slippers facing the bed. When she brought water, she softly asked, ”Do you need iced water?” The best part was a local guy who, after hearing I was here to sightsee, pulled out his phone and flipped through his private recommendations: ”Don't go to the tourist trap places. The 'Lao Zhou Suanye' in the alley ahead is the real deal. The green mango with chili salt is amazing!” ”For souvenirs, go to the Vietnamese snack shop at the entrance; the dried mango is half the price of what you'd find at the scenic spots!” These 'insider tips' were way more reliable than any guide, saving me a lot of trouble and wasted time~
The room was sparkling new! The bedding was as soft as clouds; once I lay down, I didn't want to get up. The smart toilet seat was warm in winter, and the hairdryer was actually a Dyson (even better than my own!). The high-speed Wi-Fi was perfect for streaming shows and gaming without any lag. My favorite was the floor-to-ceiling window. In the morning, when I opened the curtains, the sunlight streamed in, and watching the street below slowly come alive just brightened my mood~
I have to praise the breakfast! The pictures can't capture how good it was – freshly cooked Guilin rice noodles piled high with toppings, unlimited braised eggs and beef slices; freshly ground soy milk so fragrant I could drink three bowls, just add a bit of sugar and it tastes like childhood; freshly baked brown sugar steamed buns, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a mouthful of wheat aroma; the fruits were bought fresh daily, the green mangoes were as sweet as honey. The restaurant environment was also comfortable, with wooden tables and chairs and green plants. After eating, you could just sit and relax, unlike some hotel breakfast areas that are as crowded as a wet market~
In short, whether you're coming to Pingxiang to see the landscapes (the mist of Detian Waterfall, the windmills of Mingshi Pastoral) or for a business trip, this Orange Hotel is a solid choice! It's a new hotel without the old issues, a chain brand with guaranteed quality, good location, warm service, and new facilities. The value for money is absolutely off the charts~ Next time I come to Pingxiang, I'll definitely stay here again!"
