5-Star Hotels in Hunan, China

Traveling to Changsha with my child, we checked in late at night. When I was looking for hotels, I found this one had a great location and wasn't expensive, but there were quite a few negative reviews, which made me a bit hesitant. So, I decided to book just one night to try it out. Regarding the room: I booked an exotic-themed room. There were many country-specific styles to choose from, which was a huge draw for my child. We ended up picking the Aegean Sea style. Upon entering, I found the room's decor and details to be very authentic and true to the pictures. My child was super excited, taking photos and sending them to classmates. At my child's request, we booked another night here the next day, but switched to a different themed room. Regarding the facilities: It's true, as some reviews mentioned, the elevators are a bit old, and one of them makes a slight noise. Since it's a high-rise building, waiting times for the four elevators can be a bit long. However, we were out late and came back late, so it didn't really affect us. Regarding the view: The room I booked did offer a direct river view, but you look at the river through the window (which can only be opened slightly for ventilation), so it's a little blurry. Regarding noise: Since the hotel is along the street, there is some noise. But perhaps because we were on a high floor (we stayed on the 21st floor), or because we're not very sensitive to noise, we weren't really bothered by it. Specifically, we arrived at the hotel between 11 PM and midnight on both nights and woke up naturally around 10 AM the next day. We weren't woken up by noise at all during this time. However, on the second night, we forgot to close the window before going to bed, and in the morning, we could hear someone playing music downstairs. Regarding the location: This is a no-brainer. The Xiang River is right across the street, the subway station is next door, and it's just a short walk to Taiping Street, Pozi Street, and other places. Extremely convenient.

The Fenghuang Suli Lianhua Hotel, located near Yunqiao Bridge on the banks of the Tuojiang River, offers the perfect blend of experiencing the ancient town's vibrant atmosphere while enjoying a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle. The entire hotel boasts a classical Chinese style, with the lobby adorned with exquisite wood carvings, and every eave, corner, and step exuding elegance and charm. Our river-view room was a delightful surprise; opening the door revealed a large balcony directly facing the Tuojiang River, complete with comfortable lounge sofas and a tea set. Sitting on the balcony in the evening, sipping tea and admiring the view, every photo taken turned out to be a stunning, atmospheric shot. The room itself was spacious and clean, with soft and comfortable bedding, and excellent soundproofing, ensuring a particularly peaceful night's sleep. Amenities such as a smart toilet and a bubble bath tub were all available. The hotel also provides free parking, which is incredibly convenient for guests traveling by car. This stay was truly impeccable. Whether you're looking to experience the poetic charm of the ancient city, seeking comfortable accommodation, or planning a family trip or a getaway with friends, the Suli Lianhua Hotel is undoubtedly the best choice in Fenghuang Ancient Town. Our butler, Kele, provided meticulous service, helping with our luggage, escorting us to our room, and even assisting us in finding a guide. Our guide, A-mei, was also wonderful! Our trip to Fenghuang Ancient Town was perfect!

This was by far our favorite hotel out of the 3 hotels we stayed during our 1-week trip in China. The service provided by hotel staff were impeccable - they were very attentive, passed us ponchos on a rainy day / explained in detail on how to plan our trip to Tianmen mountain and the national park etc. View from our room was amazing as well, can see the cable cars going by. Alot of eateries nearby the hotel and the Zhangjiajie station was within a few minutes walk too. Super convenient to go up to the Tianmen mountain - 10 mins walk to the entrance poin

Overall, it was decent, but it still falls short compared to other five-star hotels. The location is excellent; you can access Hisense Plaza and Wenheyou right from the first floor without going outside. It's also convenient for getting Tea Funny (though Tea Funny is ubiquitous in Changsha anyway). The breakfast selection was too limited, feeling like only half of what you'd find at a Grand Hyatt in other cities. Unfortunately, I visited Changsha during a heavy haze, so the views from the room, which should have been beautiful, were completely obscured. A bit of a regret there.

This stay was a pleasant surprise! The hotel is in an excellent location, and it is very convenient for shopping and dining. The room is spacious and bright, and the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows have a great view. It is so relaxing to overlook the city night view at night. The bathroom is separated into dry and wet areas. What I remember most is the service. When I needed a sewing kit during the stay, the staff delivered it to the room in less than 5 minutes. When I checked out, Phoebe took the initiative to ask for help calling a taxi, which was very considerate! The whole experience was comfortable and worry-free, and I have recommended it to my friends.

Facilities: The amenities are complete, including laundry, fitness, and smart voice control which is super convenient. The breakfast, late-night snacks, and afternoon tea are incredibly heartwarming. Cleanliness: The hygiene is impeccable, meeting five-star standards. Even the corners are spotless. Environment: The decor features a chic black and grey tone, creating a fantastic ambiance for photos. There's even a hotel photographer who can help you capture stunning shots, even if you're traveling solo. Definitely worth staying here.

This time when I went back to my hometown, I didn't want to stay at home, so I just looked at the luxury list online. Our Panlong Villa Hotel was only more than 200 yuan, so I booked it. As expected, I was not disappointed. The rice noodles I took home were very comfortable and tasted very authentic. The food tasted good too. The room was better than I expected. Although Panlong has been around for a long time, the items in the room are well maintained, and you can see the star quality. The environment outside is also very good. I asked the waiter, and the catering is being upgraded, and the guest rooms will also be upgraded. As a Xiangtan native, I am really happy to see that my hometown is getting better. I will come again next time and bring my family with me. When I come again, my children will probably be very excited to see the musical fountain.

The night before, I booked the Hilton Changsha Shimao through the Hilton platform, and the experience was utterly terrible. The soundproofing was awful. I was woken up at 3 AM by noise from the hallway and didn't sleep a wink all night, ending up with a pounding headache. First thing in the morning, I rebooked at the InterContinental via Trip.com. Miss Anna Jiang at the front desk was incredibly professional, friendly, and genuinely warm. I was so touched! She walked me to the elevator, introduced me to the hotel facilities and restaurants. She even pre-warned me that the river view rooms are near the elevators and to let them know if I experienced any noise so I could switch rooms. The concierge staff were also very proactive and helpful; I really appreciate their assistance. Although the hotel's hardware facilities are a bit old, they are well-maintained and clean. The room view was lovely, overlooking the delta where the Liuyang River and Xiang River converge. There's a direct passage to the adjacent shopping malls (Beichenhui/Joy City), making dining and shopping very convenient. Breakfast here has the best Western pastries among all the international brand hotels I've stayed at in the past few months. It really suited my preferences, and the coffee was made with an espresso machine. There were also plenty of Chinese options, including rice noodles, but the texture wasn't quite to my liking; they were a bit too thick. Before checking out, I realized I'd left a ring in the room. I called, and they informed me it had already been found and sent to the concierge. It was perfect timing as I was just returning from visiting the Changsha Museum and picked it up on my way back. Oh, and right across from the hotel are the 'Three Museums and One Hall,' which are within walking distance. For food deliveries, you have to pick them up from external lockers, which is understandable and acceptable to me.

An excellent 5-star hotel with a truly comfortable and spacious room. The cleaning staff was amazing, with thoughtful everyday surprises left in our room that made the stay feel special. Breakfast offered a great selection with very good quality, and the location is excellent, just a short walk from the Tianmen Mountain cable car. I had mentioned that we were celebrating our anniversary, and the hotel kindly prepared a beautifully decorated bed for us. It was a lovely and thoughtful gesture that made our anniversary with my wife even more special. A big thank you to Angela and Sunny at the reception, both were very sweet, helpful and attentive when I met them and helped me with what I needed at the time. Highly recommended.

The hotel is ideally located in Changsha IFS, right in the heart of the Wuyi Square business district. It boasts a wealth of shopping and dining options nearby, and transportation is incredibly convenient and efficient. This stay was in the N1 Deluxe River View King Room. The room felt a bit cramped and lacked a walk-in closet. In terms of service, the hotel staff were exceptionally warm, attentive, and professional, making guests feel right at home. The front desk and guest experience team were responsive and thoughtfully provided welcome fruit and refreshments. The hotel facilities are comprehensive and modern luxury. The guest rooms are spacious and bright, and the bedding is comfortable and skin-friendly. The hotel lobby, situated on the 93rd floor, offers expansive views. The 93rd-floor restaurant provides a diverse array of Chinese and Western breakfast options, and their exquisite afternoon tea is highly praised. Overall hygiene management met expectations; the rooms were tidy and clean, and the housekeeping team was diligent and promptly addressed guests' cleaning needs.
