TeobisataWe stayed at Lotus Hotel for two nights and overall had a very enjoyable experience. The biggest highlight is definitely the location. The hotel is set in the middle of the desert, making it a unique and memorable destination. Reaching the resort is part of the adventure: you first take a cable car, then transfer to a jeep shuttle that brings you directly to the hotel. The hotel staff can transport your luggage for you, although it may take up to two hours before it arrives in your room.
The reception area is warm and welcoming. The staff explain how the resort is organized and help guests understand the various facilities. Since the property is very large, transportation within the resort is well organized. The guest rooms are spread across different rings, and in the lower ring you can call a small train that picks you up and takes you directly to your room, which is very convenient given the long walking distances. The same service is available when returning.
The hotel offers plenty of facilities for both adults and children. Near the entrance there is a buffet area, while the ground floor features several recreational spaces, including an ice-skating rink, game rooms with billiards, archery, and other activities. Outside, there is a large shaded sand play area for children with staff members available to supervise and entertain them. Throughout the resort there are also shuttle trains that can pick you up if you prefer not to walk.
In the evening there are live entertainment shows, and the atmosphere is wonderful. The main dining hall is spacious, the food is good, and everything is included. There is also a hot pot restaurant on the first floor if you want an alternative dining experience.
One of the most beautiful parts of the stay is the outdoor entertainment park at night. Guests walk through the desert on a beautifully illuminated wooden walkway while enjoying performances, shows, balloons, and activities for children. The evening temperatures are very pleasant, especially during summer, making it a fantastic experience.
The exterior entertainment park includes many complimentary activities, such as VIP camel riding, guided off-road rides, zip lines, and a water park. Transportation between the hotel and the park is free and very efficient, with buses, themed boats, small trains, and other fun vehicles.
You can easily spend one or even two days here. Most of the main activities can be experienced in one day, but there is enough to keep you entertained longer.
The staff are always friendly and eager to help, and there are many employees throughout the resort. However, most of them are very young and sometimes lack experience, resulting in avoidable mistakes. Additional training would certainly improve the overall service. Another significant drawback is the language barrier. Very few staff members speak English, and during our two-night stay we found only one person who could communicate sufficiently.
The room itself is simple and quite small, but that's not really the focus of this type of resort since you'll spend most of your time enjoying the activities outside. If you're looking to relax in your room, this may not be the ideal place.
The bathroom definitely needs renovation. The shower was disappointing, and when we entered the room there was an unpleasant pee smell that suggested cleaning standards could be improved. Overall, the room was acceptable, but for the price I expected better housekeeping and maintenance.
Despite these shortcomings, the incredible location, the wide variety of activities, and the overall experience make Lotus Hotel a destination worth visiting. I would definitely come back, probably for one night rather than two, simply because most attractions can be enjoyed in a full day. Overall, I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique desert resort experience.

Guest UserTaking advantage of the May Day holiday, I spontaneously embarked on a trip without much planning, intending to decide things as I went along. My classmate's mother recommended this hotel. To find a 5-star guesthouse-level hotel at this price during May Day was truly exceptional value for money. The hotel environment is excellent; although some areas were undergoing renovation, it didn't detract from the overall guest experience. The front office manager was incredibly welcoming, asking about our travel plans and offering genuine advice, such as visiting Dazhao Temple in the evening and reminding us about the significant temperature difference between day and night, suggesting we dress warmly. On my second day, I had originally planned to go to Chilechuan and then the desert, but she advised me to visit the desert first and then Chilechuan if time permitted. I readily took her advice, and the trip turned out to be perfect. The hotel's breakfast was fantastic and highly recommended. I look forward to staying here again during the summer holidays!

The room isn't very big, and the facilities are average, but the view of the stadium outside the window is quite nice. The Executive Lounge dinner was excellent, especially the red velvet cake, which was delicious, and the sticky rice strips were very authentic. Breakfast was abundant, with particularly tasty lamb shaomai and delicious purple rice porridge. I really liked the hot milk and soy milk from the large pot. I also surprisingly discovered that the plain whole wheat toast was incredibly good when toasted – the quality of the bread overall was great. The S-shaped staircase and circular pool in the lobby are beautiful, and there are two yurts set up for photos. The elevator area is very elegant, though the glass around the buttons easily gets fingerprints, which detracts from its appearance; I'd suggest more frequent cleaning. I was initially upset when someone cut in line during check-in, but thankfully a wonderful manager promptly assisted me, and I'm very grateful – she was professional, stylish, and highly competent. However, some staff at the front desk and in housekeeping seemed a bit green and inexperienced.

scottjingThe hotel exterior is luxurious, and the parking lot is large, although the underground parking entrance is a bit narrow; it's best to park on the street. The rooms have an ethnic theme, and the receptionists wear Mongolian robes. It's 3km to see the fountain in the evening. The shower water temperature is a bit inconsistent. The breakfast has a wide variety of choices.

Having stayed in countless hotels, this experience truly stands out! From the moment I stepped in, I felt the warmth and attentiveness of the staff; every smile and every direction was just perfect. And my exclusive butler, Molly, was incredibly thoughtful! From patiently assisting with check-in to meticulously arranging local food recommendations and sightseeing routes tailored to my preferences, nothing was overlooked. After a tiring day out, I returned to find my room tidied and a comforting herbal tea ready. Interacting with Molly, I could genuinely feel her passion and sincerity for her work. With such fantastic hotel service, I'll definitely be staying here again on my next visit!

helly7531Finally got to check out the famous Matryoshka Doll Hotel, and my stay far exceeded expectations! The exterior is an iconic giant matryoshka doll building; its intricate paintings truly shine in the sun. The Guinness-certified unique architecture lives up to its reputation. Stepping into the lobby was breathtaking: a 60-meter high domed ceiling, crystal chandeliers, and palatial frescoes create a grand and dreamlike atmosphere. Matryoshka elements are everywhere – in the corridors, elevators, and guest rooms, with customized cups, amenity kits, and cushions, all adding a fairy-tale touch with meticulous detail. The room was spacious and clean, with excellent hygiene. The mattress was soft, and soundproofing was good, complemented by smart amenities. There's even a cute matryoshka robot that delivers meals and guides you, which the kids absolutely loved. The staff were warm and friendly, and check-in was efficient. The stay included unlimited access to the Matryoshka scenic area, which was super convenient, and the night view with the lights was absolutely stunning. Overall, it combines aesthetics, comfort, and a great location, making it perfect for family trips or couples. I'd definitely choose to stay here again next time I visit Manzhouli!
