I booked this hotel before May Day, and the price for two consecutive nights was just over 500 RMB. I saw some reviews when booking and was a bit nervous, but my actual stay far exceeded my expectations.
1. The front desk supervisor left a great impression on me; she was very efficient. The front desk has a 'treasure chest' where you can get things like steam eye masks and earplugs. They even provide sand shovels if you want to go clam digging. (See Picture 1).
2. The washbasin is separate from the toilet area. The entire bathroom felt quite good; it wasn't dirty or messy as some reviews suggested, which I need to correct.
3. I've stayed in many hotels, and the shower here is particularly noteworthy. The water pressure is strong, and the spray is fine and gentle – definitely worth a special mention.
4. The lights and curtains can be controlled by voice or switch. After staying at the Penguin Hotel, coming here felt like a world apart in terms of smart home features.
5. I chose a twin room. There's no nightstand between the beds, so you can push them together. Three of us slept comfortably without feeling cramped, with the child in the middle, and everyone slept soundly.
6. There's a laundry room on the top floor with washing and drying machines, and a viewing deck. It was great to order takeout BBQ and beer in the evening and watch the illuminated Sun & Moon Bay.
7. The surrounding amenities are excellent. We bought seafood at Chaoyang Market and had it prepared on the first floor of the hotel. The freshness was top-notch, though the flavor was a bit bland. There's also 'Fengsheng Delicacies' just 20 meters from the hotel entrance; I really loved their congee – super value for money.
8. There's no wardrobe in the room, just a wooden slat design. While it has a certain aesthetic, clothes hanging on it tend to look a bit messy.
9. I have to praise the lighting design in the hotel room. It has some clever touches, and the reading light design is very reasonable, unlike the monotonous, harsh lighting in many other hotels.
10. There is indeed a soundproofing issue; we could hear the TV from the next room. Luckily, the hotel arranged for a family with a similar schedule to stay next door.
In summary, Zhuhai is worth a visit, and this Ramada is worth a stay.
