2-Star Hotels in Changsha

This was an excellent place to stay in Changsha, better than we could have expected. We visited in December and the heating from the air conditioner was enough to keep the room warm. The bathroom is modern, and even has heating above the shower. Both the room itself and the bathroom were very clean. We were on the third floor so we did not get bothered by any sound from the street. I am a very light sleeper but I did not wake up from anything. There are a few open air lounges around the building, most with a roof to protect from the rain, which were nice to sit and eat breakfast. The best thing about the room however is the bed. It is spacious (I think a king size) and so, so comfortable. There is a laundry facility but we didn't use this on our trip. They don't have a dryer machine but they do have a clothes line to dry clothes on. The owner spoke with us through WeChat and gave us recommendations on places to eat (a huge list, maybe 40 different places!) and checked if we needed room cleaning every day, and provided extra water bottles. The aunties at the hotel are all friendly. The location is really good, 5-7 mins walk from Peyuanqiao subway, and just one stop from Wuyi Square on line 1. It is also about 40mins on the subway or 30mins taxi to ChangshaNan Station (high-speed rail) and about 45mins subway from the airport. The hotel is on a quiet side street, the main street is very much a local, non-touristy street, which was nice, with a friendly uncle selling breakfast in the morning and many stalls and restaurants nearby. By the station you also have bigger chain shops and restaurants if this is what you prefer. The only thing to improve for me is that a coat hanger would be useful so we can hang up our coat somewhere. I love Changsha, my favourite city in China, and I think this hotel will become my go-to the next time I am back to visit!

This guesthouse is located inside the 'Yingshang International Hotel' building, about a 10-minute walk from IFS (International Finance Square). The location is pretty good, but the guesthouse's security is a bit lacking, as anyone can access the floors. The main draw is that it's cheap and the rooms are spacious. Just make sure that when you're using navigation, you set your drop-off point to 'Sen. Bolai Hotel'; from there, it's only a minute and a half walk to the entrance. Otherwise, you'll have to walk a long and difficult path from the other side of the building, going through a construction zone, which resulted in my shoes and luggage getting covered in yellow mud (it was the rainy season when I visited). The room itself was quite clean, but the hot water system for the shower is a residential-style one. If multiple people are staying in the same room, you can't shower freely. After one person uses it, the next person has to wait a long time, which made showering feel stressful.

The room was clean and well-designed. The front desk staff was very kind. I forgot my charging cable for my business trip, and the power bank rental was too far away. The staff member at the front desk lent me a power bank that his mother had bought for him, which I really appreciate! It was a very pleasant trip!

I did a lot of research before coming to Changsha and finally chose this hotel. After staying for one night, I realized I made the right choice! The location is absolutely amazing – IFS Guojin, Huangxing Road Pedestrian Street, Taiping Street, and Pozi Street are all within walking distance, just a few minutes away. It's also close to the riverside, and Taiping Old Street is right in front of the hotel. You can even take one subway stop to reach the Snack Kingdom, which is super lively with tons of snacks and great photo opportunities. What's more, the room's cleanliness exceeded my expectations. Every front desk lady was incredibly friendly. The hotel offers free laundry service – just notify the hotel butler, and they'll handle everything. You can also store your luggage for free after check-out. The price isn't expensive either, so the value for money is really high. It's fantastic! [Strong]

The apartment come with 2 rooms, living hall, kitchen, washing machine and dryer. Located in the core business district of Wuyi Square, which is very convenient for travel. Sorrounding has many malls and resturants. The host is very nice and helpful. We bought many parcels online and come in different days, the host helped to contact delivery man to receive parcels for us. Recommend to stay here.

The location is great, close to commercial areas and public transport hubs, making it very convenient for getting around. The facilities are comprehensive, with stable hot water and internet. It offers excellent value for money compared to other options in the same price range.

The hotel room looked very different from the pictures shown online. The carpet and furniture were very old, and the bathroom has a lot of mould on the wall. I only stayed for one night because I had cancelled my original hotel due to its inconvenient location. When I returned to the hotel at night, my access card did not work and I could not open the door. There was no one at the front counter, so I had to call the staff. When the staff arrived, he explained that the receptionist had forgotten to activate my access card. When I checked in the hotel the door was actually opened and the staff said it was left opened to allow air circulation. I called a second time after noticing there was no shampoo or body wash in the bathroom. The staff informed me that they had replaced them with small packaged toiletries placed on the table. However, I later realised that one of the shampoo packets was already empty and appeared to have been used. The lift also seemed poorly maintained. At one point, it stopped unexpectedly on the 11th floor even though I had selected the 1st floor. I had to get out and change to another lift. Overall, this hotel is only suitable for a short one-night stay if you do not have other options as it still considered cheap and it is quite near to the railway station and it takes less than 15 min to walk from the hotel to the railway station.

The owner is incredibly friendly and accommodating. The room rates are very reasonable, and the place is clean. They even offer airport drop-off service, which is a huge convenience! On my previous visit, my flight was significantly delayed, and I couldn't confirm my exact arrival time. Yet, the owner kindly waited up for me until 3 AM! This is my second stay here, and I'll definitely be back!

Hotel room is very large and bed is very comfortable. You are able to rent bikes just outside the hotel to help with visiting the city As for finding the hotel it can be a little difficult. You must take the elevator right beside the Tom and Jerry painting to the 17th floor then it’s the second hotel.

Entrance and lift to the right tower was a little hard to find initially, especially for us who don't understand much Chinese and lift change to a different tower is required. Written instruction would've been useful. Room is ok, very low ceiling, nearly touched our head. Very cramped and not as spacious and nice as in photo. Lots of marks and scratches on the floor. Shower area is not clean, hair from previous stay still there. Our washing machine was broken. It couldn't be fixed in the 3 nights we stayed. The technician came on the second day and the floor was left dirty. We were offered to use the washing machine in a different unit, but with no dryer, it made it difficult. The electricity went out on our first morning and there was no power for about 3-4 hours. Then the evacuation building evacuation notice came on, twice that morning. We evacuated as that's the norm in our country. We're later told it's just a testing. It would've been nice if we were informed or there's some kind of communication on the floor. Very disruptive as we have young children. The evacuation drill happened again the next morning. We knew then to stay. The best thing about this apartment is the location. Close to all the hustle and bustle is Changsha, lots of eateries choices. On the negative side, we could hear thumping music and felt the vibration from nearby clubs until 3-4 in the morning.
