"This hotel is quite stylish and trendy, a refreshing change from traditional hotels. While the room design has a few minor flaws – the bathroom vanity, in particular, is a bit inconvenient to use, making me think traditional layouts are more practical for living – the breakfast, despite not having a huge variety, is exquisite and tastes much better than what you'd find at other hotels. The gym is beautiful and very professional. A downside is the lack of free laundry service, which feels a bit outdated, especially in summer. For that, an Atour or Hilton might be a better choice. The front desk staff were very friendly, but they missed some finer touches like welcome fruit, departure gifts, or upgrade offers, which sets them apart from true five-star hotels. The hotel's location is decent, but not very subway-friendly; you have to walk a bit, and walking in Changsha's summer can be quite unpleasant, so taxis are definitely the preferred mode of transport."
