Xiangtan Hotels with Breakfast

This inn is still very much beyond expectations: 1. The inn is in the scenic area, very convenient, very close to the statue of Chairman Mao, the former residence, and the innkeeper helped arrange the scenic spot, otherwise the first time I drove over, I really don’t know how to enter. 2. The inn is very clean. The inn is a building of its own, like a three-story villa, which is very clean. 3. The boss is also very enthusiastic. If you want to lay a wreath or something, you can help arrange it. 4. The scenic area is very aura and worth staying for a few more days.

This time I was satisfied with the homestay where Chairman Mao lived. I booked it on Ctrip. The owner called in advance to inquire about the arrival time. I took the high-speed rail to Shaoshan South Station and the owner picked me up in person. The room was clean and tidy. I had three meals in the store. I ate Mao's braised pork. The homestay was not far from the scenic spots. The distance was just right. The square memorial hall was not far away. I was satisfied with this trip.

I seldom share my experiences in Chinese hotels. That is a mistake. China’s hotels are among the world’s most comfortable and reasonably priced.  I am now in the home of chairman Mao and staying at the very comfortable Jianguo hotel. After arriving in  Shaoshan  (over 38 years since my last visit), I have been overwhelmed by the friendliness of the local people and the staff at the Jianguo hotel.  In what may be called one of the more politically important destinations in China, I have found open arms and smiles. My American friends can learn something from this. I am clearly not a local but, even during this time of geopolitical tension, I am receiving nothing less than genuine  friendship, no animosity, and this makes me feel optimistic. I hope that we in the United States can learn from the Chinese people’s example. Thank you, everybody at the Jianguo Hotel. including Liu Zheng who personally took me to Chairman Mao’s residence this morning.  He offered to do this while eating dinner in the hotel restaurant last night (please try the 香椿拌豆腐). He introduced me to the park’s director and facilitated everything to make this visit so special. Liu Jingli just treated me to lunch and is driving  me to the train station. This kind of service I’ve never received before in my hundred plus countries and I think that it is important that we share these stories with the outside world. This hospitality, too, is an essential part of China. (I would argue it is even more real than the news stories we receive out of Washington DC.) Chairman Mao’s home will forever echo with not just memories of the past but optimism of a more respectful and inclusive future.

The air conditioning in the room is very powerful, the room is not cold at all; the hot water is fast, and the rain is not cold at all in winter. Parking is convenient, underground and above-ground parking lots are relatively large. The breakfast is rich and varied. The front desk service is warm and the warmth of home.

The cleanliness was exceptional; everything was meticulously clean, down to the smallest details. I was very impressed! The hotel's location is also excellent, being very close to Wanda Plaza and Dongfanghong Square. The service was outstanding; both the front desk and housekeeping staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, making me feel right at home. The hotel also has a gym and laundry service. Parking was very convenient, with a lot right next to the hotel that even has both fast and slow charging stations – incredibly handy. My experience this time was fantastic, and I will definitely be returning!

At 3:19 PM on May 22, 2026, having just finished the first round of negotiations with my partner, I dragged my 24-inch suitcase, covered in airline baggage tags, into the pre-booked business hotel. The lobby had gleaming light gray marble countertops, and a faint scent of white tea filled the air. Check-in was efficient; I received my room key in less than three minutes by swiping my ID. Upon entering the room, the first thing that caught my eye was a floor-to-ceiling window offering a panoramic view of the city's central business district. Beige desks and chairs were placed by the window, with a notebook bearing the hotel logo and a retractable pen already laid out on the desk. A built-in charging port for laptops was conveniently located under the built-in desk. A smart panel by the bedside allowed for one-touch adjustment of lighting and curtains. The bathroom featured a well-designed wet and dry separation; a disposable shaving kit and mouthwash were provided alongside the customized toiletries. The overall environment was clean and practical, perfectly suited to my work needs for the next three days of my business trip.

Some staff is competent and efficient, so good. Other staff are not competent, not good. During check-in she wanted to send me to the same room as my colleague. But we had 2 different rooms. Also she do not understand my requests. My room was spacious and comfortable. With large bathroom. Free laundry service. The accessories are not good and poor. The refrigerator was broken. Very cheap and small travel size hair dryer. Cleaning is very superficial. They don't empty the rubbish bins every day, unhygienic. In all the common areas of the hotel many people smoke, even inside the elevators, that is unacceptable. The elevators are inefficient. Sometimes I also waited 8 - 10 minutes, in the morning or in the evening with crowded and smoking people inside.

The stay experience was particularly satisfactory, the hotel environment was clean and tidy, the room was cleaned up in place, the bedding was very comfortable to sleep, and the sound insulation effect was good. The front desk staff was warm, the check-in and check-out efficiency was very high, and the service was thoughtful and thoughtful. The overall environment is quiet and comfortable, the stay is very relaxing, the travel accommodation is very recommended, will choose next time

This is probably the cleanest and most upscale hotel in Xiangtan's city center. I had to switch rooms from Huatian in the middle of the night to come here. However, since the rooms were renovated in 2018, there are still issues like dirty windows on the outside and peeling paint from a leaky roof.

The owners of this place are the nicest people ever! Even though we did not ask, they gave us a ride to and from the train station as well as to Chairman Mao's former residence. The location is great, it would not have been a long walk but the ride made our visit even smoother. The hosts gave us Chairman Mao pins for free and made us delicious breakfast for a really cheap price. They truly are such nice people! They don't speak much English but I'm sure you would manage just fine with a translator app. The room was a great fit for us, two couples travelling together, and it had everything we needed. We only stayed for one night since there is not a whole lot to see in this town but we would have loved to stay for longer just because the hosts were so nice. I would definitely recommend this place! 谢谢你们对我们的悉心照顾!
