Hotels near Overseas Chinese Town (OCT) Loft, Shenzhen

The hostel is located in a very new and central area of Shenzhen. The OCT area has many artsy stores and alternative restaurants. The hostel itself has great service, the space was good, it was clean enough and they had an adorable dog. I would definitely stay here again if I come back to Shenzhen.

The location is good, the service is okay, neither exceptionally good nor bad. One positive aspect is that they provide tea at the front desk in the morning. The biggest downside is that the room is on the ground floor and has a damp smell. The bedding is also damp, and there are noticeable signs of mold on the sink.

This is my second trip to Shenzhen in the past 20 years, and my friend (who I call Gege) has recommended this hotel. My flight was late at night; the receptionist barely understands English, but they love to help. My room was on the 4th floor. It was a mini single room type, but it has every facility I need. The room is clean—not that new, but more spacious than I thought. The only thing they don't provide here in this room type is a refrigerator. But it is fine with me. The breakfast is lovely. I tried everything except the congee because I didn't know how to order it. Oh, but you need to ask for the ”zhāo cháng quán” at the reception counter if you book the room that includes breakfast. It will serve from 7.30 a.m. until around 10 a.m.   I love the location of this hotel so much. It is located on the beautiful boulevard and just a few minutes away from OCT Loft, the art square. Lawson is just around the corner, as is the pharmacy, as well as some local restaurants. The Qiaocheng East Metro station is about 7 minutes away, but walking along the boulevard makes it feel like 3 minutes to me. The housekeepers are nice. Actually, everyone at the hotel is. I mentioned the housekeeper because she cleans my room every day, and that's what I need from coming back to travel for a whole day, but I feel that it was extra clean as she changed my towel and put in new, clean amenities for me every day. I tried to communicate with her on my third day and showed her my appreciation for her work. On my last day of staying at this hotel, I left a note on the bed, written in my bad handwriting in Chinese. I hope she will find it. The receptionist on that day also helped me call a taxi when my phone application was not working.   I love everything in this hotel. The price is reasonable. I won't say cheap. You get what you pay for, and for me, I got a little more than I expected. I'll be back once every year and will definitely book this hotel again.   If you are a solo traveler and looking for a lovely hotel in a nice location, not as busy in the city, and love the arts and a bit of strolling on the greenery boulevard, then H'Life Hotel (OCT Loft) or Huali Hotel is what you need. And booking with Trip.com is my best choice. My flight was cancelled once when the typhoon hit Shenzhen early this month. I had to cancel at the last minute, but I booked it with the free cancellation option. So, all was well. I got the refund later and then booked it again in the next 2 weeks. So please keep your good quality and maintain this standard, and then I will come back and recommend people come here too. See you again next year!

The hotel in the district of OCT. it is difficult to find the hotel by car. So you must really know the road to the hotel front door. The location is far from the subway. Maybe about 20 min walk. In The neighborhood are a lot of taxi. You can easily get a taxi to go about everywhere. The hotel is neat. A little bit outdated, but still neat enough to be considered well maintained. Maybe my room was upgraded. The room is very big. The bed is comfortable enough, but for me a little bit too hard. In this neighborhood the hotels are a little bit expensive for the quality you get. But compared to other hotels in the same neighborhood it is for now the best for the money you spend.

Facilities: Just completed renovation, OK. Hygiene: clean and hygienic. Environment: Located in Overseas Chinese Town, the surrounding environment has complete facilities and is close to the subway station, which is very convenient for transactions. Service: OK, breakfast is rich.

Perfect except the quality of the breakfast buffet. Not enough choices, no omelette, not enough fruits, no jam, no cereals. Other hotels in Shenzhen also offer egg tarts. Receptionists and cleansers all very polite and helpful. Thanks, we will come again if you improve a bit the breakfast.

Hotel front desk a thumbs up as she let us just check in early as flight arrived early ie before 12 pm likely bcoz room available at that time. Unlike other hotel very restrictive even there are rooms avail to check in. Another thumbs up is the housekeeping lady Deng Mei Gui gave a good service on top of checking with us if we need anything. Just a stone throw away the Metro entrance. TV should have some english channel for foreigner like myself rather than offering only local programme. There is a nice barbecue duck, goose, pork and chasiew fastfood stall outside the hotel and just next to entrance into the Metro recommended to have a quick lunch/dineer. Good view facing the seafront overlooking HK land.

It was my first time staying here after returning from abroad. My first impression was that the surrounding environment was good and the greenery was very pleasant to look at. It was next to Qiaochengfang and I could get there in two steps by going downstairs. It was very convenient. I could drink coffee and enjoy afternoon tea time. The food was also very convenient. As for the apartment, the front desk was on the 31st floor. I could make a small suggestion to set up signboards on the first floor. It was really hard to find for the first-time guests. Secondly, the front desk staff Lilian was warm and enthusiastic, patiently introduced the surrounding facilities and the room furnishings, etc. She was very careful and deserved special praise. The room she arranged also had a very good orientation, and I could see the sunset. I would like to thank her very much. It was a perfect experience for my first stay. I will choose you again when I come to Shenzhen in the future.

Excellent hotel Good location in Futian Short ride from Futian high speed station and about 20-30 min taxi ride to Shenzhen north station. Good service although the English level of the staff is not high. Bonus: The hotel is linked to a small shopping mall with an excellent bakery.

I had a great stay at this hotel near the station. Perfect location and fantastic service! Highly recommended.
