Best Western Premier Hotel Hefei

“Charming”

Very spacious rooms, most are double deckers. The choice of food available for breakfast is excellent, everyone is gonna find something. The staff is comunicative, which is very rare in China.

Very spacious rooms, most are double deckers. The choice of food available for breakfast is excellent, everyone is gonna find something. The staff is comunicative, which is very rare in China. The rooms are very clean, made up daily. +: Nice bathrooms, comfortable beds, charming restaurant on the 23rd floor, amazing food, location (there's a shopping street with amazing food 500m from the hotel) -: The rooms could be more isolated from sounds coming from the street, but anyway it didn't bother me much.

“Be cautious if you are 6-ft tall”

The hotel could be a nice surprise for many. It is loft type room with 0.5 bath on floor, and a full bath upstairs. It also has a sofa and a TV downstairs, and a queen bed upstairs besides bedroom. The location is convenient for both traffic to the high speed train station and the airport, and it … Mais

The hotel could be a nice surprise for many. It is loft type room with 0.5 bath on floor, and a full bath upstairs. It also has a sofa and a TV downstairs, and a queen bed upstairs besides bedroom. The location is convenient for both traffic to the high speed train station and the airport, and it is 5 minutes walk away for a big mall with plenty restaurants, bars, and shops. The only thing I am not confortable with is the ceiling and shower head is too low, almost hit the ceiling when standing in the tub.

“Most peculiar”

I was booked in here by my company while in Hefei on business. The location seemed quite good on paper but there was very little in the way of decent restaurants and bars nearby.

I was booked in here by my company while in Hefei on business. The location seemed quite good on paper but there was very little in the way of decent restaurants and bars nearby. What was most peculiar, and increasingly annoying as time went by, was the ‘loft’ style ( as the hotel so seductively calls them) room layout. We each had a large downstairs living room, complete with TV , while up a rather steep flight of stairs was the bedroom. Here in China on business for several weeks we all had large bulky luggage which we had no inclination to transporting up to the ‘loft’. Clothes were therefore decanted from the suitcase downstairs on a daily basis and invariably one would find something had been mislaid. The bedrooms were very claustrophobic, the ceilings very low and furnishings dark. I also never quite worked out how to switch off the downstairs lights after coming up to bed! The carpets throughout were in desperate need of a deep clean. The bedrooms on our floor were deemed non smoking, as requested, but they all stank of ingrained nicotine. There is something very unsavoury about stained bedroom carpets and I was glad of the free, disposable slippers as with all the hawking and spitting going on in the hotel, one could not be too sure what was underfoot On the subject of this very unsavoury cultural difference, an awful lot of hawking and spitting went on in the dining room. Although I’ve travelled to China many times now in business I still find it completely unacceptable that this takes place at the table right beside you and the used tissues left on the table top. It always puts me off my food and I’m quite surprised that it’s still seems to be accepted. After one ghastly experience at attempting to order a vegetarian dish from the menu, which is only available on the hotel tablet, we didn’t venture back for dinner. We each had just a bowl of unseasoned hot water with a few packet noodles floating in it, a couple of slices of tomato and a handful of pak Choi. After taxes and service charge this ‘meal’ set us back almost £10 each We tried the upstairs Chinese restaurant just the once, since we were most uncomfortable being ushered into a small, windowless private dining room and our request for vegetarian food was met with three small bowls of boiled white rice, a plate of tepid, over cooked broccoli and the most disgusting ‘stinky’ tofu ( recommended by the hotel no less) any of us had ever encountered, and none of us could eat. Breakfast wasn’t bad and reception were friendly and helpful, despite their lack of English. I’m sure there are better places to stay, like the neighbouring Crowne Plaza hotel, where we took most of our evening meals

“Pleasantly surprised for the price”

My mom and I were pleasantly surprised by this hotel! We had a room with two twin beds on the “superior” level, and they were truly non-smoking.

My mom and I were pleasantly surprised by this hotel! We had a room with two twin beds on the “superior” level, and they were truly non-smoking. We didn’t have any lingering smells although some parts of the hotel smelled strongly of cigarettes. The breakfast had a lot of options, too, which was great. One downer – I tried to use the gym at 5:30am one morning, and I found it unlocked but dark. After failing in my search for a light switch, I went to the front desk hoping they could turn it on. Some of the staff’s English is not the best, so they were confused as to what I was asking.
