4-Star Hotels in Benxi

It's a very new hotel, and the service was quite professional, but the prices during the National Day holiday were really expensive! I stayed on the first floor, and according to the hotel, it was an upgraded courtyard room. Two rooms were booked, and the facilities were both good. Facilities: Problem 1: My friend's room next door had a courtyard that connected to the main road, and there was a gap in the fence allowing entry and exit. Problem 2: I couldn't get out of my room this morning; the security lock on the door was stuck… a hotel staff member had to jump in from the small courtyard outside to open it. Service: The handling process was okay; this room received a 30% discount. For such a large hotel, it wasn't particularly grand.

Facilities: The room is not big and the space is relatively compact. It is very convenient to have a small refrigerator beside the bed. The TV is not clear and there are snowflakes. The paper towel holder in the bathroom is not reasonably designed. The roll paper is easy to fall off. There is a warning on the wall that the water temperature is unstable. It is very good in actual use. Hygiene: The bedding is clean and comfortable, but there are mold spots on the wall under the shower room Environment: The hotel is located in the small city center. It is very eye-catching and easy to find. The room you live in faces the street and is opposite the Agricultural Bank of China. It is not noisy at night. Service: The front desk service in the lobby is warm and efficient, and check-in and check-out are quick. Breakfast: There are coffee, milk, soy milk, porridge, eggs and bread. The buns and tofu are delicious, but the corn is too old. Overall, the stay experience was quite good.

Extremely satisfied with the service. The room was also exceptionally good and comfortable. Special commendation to the front desk. There was a small hiccup with Trip.com, almost leaving us without a room, but the front desk patiently and kindly resolved the issue. Definitely worth choosing again on our next visit.

Benxi Longfeng Hotel In-Depth Review: A Secluded Choice in the Mountain City I. First Impressions: A Poetic Abode Amidst Mountains and Rivers Upon arriving at the Benxi Longfeng Hotel, dusk was gilding the mountains along the Taizi River. The hotel's main building features a modern Chinese design, with its green tiles and white walls contrasting beautifully with the distant verdant mountains. The dragon and phoenix themed reliefs hanging in the lobby exude cultural charm under the warm light. Upon check-in, the staff proactively offered hot towels and ginger tea, thoughtfully inquiring if we needed assistance with itinerary planning—these details instantly relieved the fatigue of our journey. II. Accommodation Experience: A Perfect Balance of Tradition and Modernity 1. Space Design The executive suite we stayed in was approximately 45 square meters, with floor-to-ceiling windows bringing the Taizi River view indoors. Solid wood furniture paired with a cloud-patterned carpet, and a celadon incense burner on the bedside table emitting a subtle sandalwood fragrance, created an atmosphere that retained Eastern aesthetics while achieving modern convenience through an intelligent lighting system. Particularly noteworthy was the bedding; the high-thread-count cotton sheets and down pillows ensured a restful night's sleep. 2. Special Services Turndown Service: During evening room cleaning, staff not only change the drinking water but also place a handwritten weather forecast card and local specialty ”Benxi Lake Dried Fish” by the bedside. Cultural Experience: A complimentary tea ceremony is offered daily in the lobby bar, where you can sample Benxi's unique large-leaf tea, accompanied by a guide recounting the legends of dragon and phoenix culture. Family Care: Children's rooms are equipped with cartoon-themed toiletries; cribs and bottle warmers can be borrowed from the front desk. III. Culinary Feast: A Taste of Benxi 1. Longfengxuan Chinese Restaurant The signature dish, ”Taizi River Three Delicacies,” uses local wild river fish, mountain mushrooms, and black pork, slow-cooked in a clay pot to create a rich broth. We recommend trying the ”Dragon and Phoenix Auspiciousness” platter, which artistically presents four famous Benxi dishes (Xiaoshi mutton soup, Xihu pancakes, Huanren rice cakes, and Nanfen tofu). Freshly ground soy milk with Benxi Lake tofu pudding for breakfast is an excellent choice to awaken your taste buds. 2. Cloud-Top Western Restaurant The 25th-floor revolving restaurant offers a 360° panoramic view, with floor-to-ceiling windows providing stunning views of the city's nightscape and delicious cuisine. The ”Benxi Night” themed buffet on Wednesday evenings features local specialties such as wild mountain vegetables and wild hazel mushrooms, while the chef's live roasted whole lamb is incredibly popular. IV. Wellness and Leisure: A Mountain Retreat in the City 1. Hot Spring Experience The hotel's back mountain features the Longfeng Spring open-air hot spring area, with 12 pools offering different therapeutic benefits scattered among the pine trees. The ”Dragon and Phoenix Twin Pools” feature a yin-yang dual-spring design: a sulfur spring on the left to relieve fatigue, and a carbonated spring on the right to promote metabolism. While soaking in the hot springs at night, guests can enjoy the dragon and phoenix patterns projected onto the opposite mountainside by a light show. 2. Fitness Facilities The 24-hour gym is equipped with high-end Technogym equipment, and the heated swimming pool uses geothermal heating to maintain a comfortable water temperature even in winter. A specially designed ”Mountain Forest Yoga Platform” is located on the hotel's back mountain, offering a morning exercise experience that harmonizes with nature. V. Surrounding Area Exploration: Direct Access to Benxi's Highlights The hotel offers a free shuttle service, providing access to: Benxi Water Cave: The world's longest underground river, offering boat tours to witness the spectacular stalactites and stalagmites. Guanmenshan National Forest Park: Ablaze with autumn foliage, ideal for hiking and photography. Tieshashan Scenic Area: The birthplace of Taoism in Northeast China, offering experiences in Taoist health and wellness culture. VI. Suggestions for Improvement Room soundproofing could be further improved; some footsteps can be heard in the corridors at night. The Executive Lounge is slightly crowded on weekends; a reservation system is recommended. There are few convenience stores nearby, making it inconvenient to buy snacks at night. VII. Conclusion Benxi Longfeng Hotel, with culture as its soul and mountains and waters as its charm, perfectly blends traditional aesthetics with modern service. Whether you are a business traveler seeking cultural depth or a family seeking natural healing, you can find a suitable experience here. As the morning light filters through the curtains onto the Taizi River, sipping Benxi Lake tea and gazing at the mountains, you can understand why this place is called the ”Hidden Pearl of the Liaodong Peninsula.” Recommendation rating: ★★★★☆ Suitable for: Cultural enthusiasts/Family trips/Business meetings Best seasons: Autumn (autumn foliage season) and winter (hot spring season)

Traveling with the elderly and children, we booked a tatami four-person room. This room type is available on the fourth and fifth floors. The fourth floor can be reached directly by elevator, but the light is a little worse. The fifth floor requires one flight of stairs, which is not very convenient. At that time, there was a large window that made it brighter. Each floor has its pros and cons. We have a lot of stuff with our kids and elderly people, so we chose the fourth floor. The staff was very nice. They showed me two types of rooms and let me choose. When I checked out, my baby was still asleep from her nap, so they took the initiative to extend our check-out by one hour. The surrounding natural environment is also very good, surrounded by mountains and small streams, it is particularly beautiful. The downside is that the bathroom has a bit of an unpleasant smell and the room lights are too dim.

The overall service at Mangu Town is excellent! The staff who serviced our room were especially exceptional, patient, caring, and very understanding. However, I declined to view the private bath room before booking, simply looking at the pictures online. And it wasn't because it was fully booked and inconvenient to view! Upon entering the room, it smelled strongly of dampness and was cramped. Most puzzling was that the private baths were only drained once a day and couldn't be freely drained. With such a large temperature difference between morning and evening, draining the water once only allows for a single soak. If you want to soak again, you have to go to the public area. This seems to defeat the purpose of private baths. What's the point of paying the private bath price to stay in a damp, moldy, and cramped private bath room when you can't choose to do so multiple times? Why not stay in the slightly cheaper, brighter, and more spacious River Valley rooms? This makes me wonder why so many empty rooms aren't open for viewing, only pictures!

Facilities: Well-equipped Cleanliness: Spotless Ambiance: Bright and spacious Service: Warm and attentive I watched the entire musical fountain show from the balcony. Parking is convenient, and the night market downstairs has great food. I bought steamed buns during a city walk; there are many shops nearby, making it easy to buy things.

The room was very spacious, because the elderly were out, the note was quiet, so the quiet room was arranged, very friendly to sleep, the overall feeling of the room service staff was very warm and professional, breakfast was a fixed meal, very good and healthy ～

After the autumn, the weather is not hot and humid. I took my parents to travel by car with my daughter-in-law. 2 days and 1 night, the green mountains and green waters and green streams. My parents are old, so they don’t climb the mountain and climb the mountain. After the first stop, the battery car in the old side ditch goes directly to the top of the mountain. Follow the stream and stone path to go down the mountain freely, walk and rest, dare not time. Lunch in the mountains to rest and eat their own food, then drive to Jiangnan Water Town to stay, the water town is very beautiful and characteristic, environmental facilities and services are good, because it is not a weekend holiday, flower car cruise ship fireworks, etc. did not see. The water town is full of lotus flowers, and the lights at night are swaying and have a unique view. The swimming pool water park is medium in size, there are not many people, and we have a good time.

This is my third year visiting Benxi to enjoy the autumn scenery, and I still chose Xixi Hotel without hesitation. The Xiaocao Line from Guanmenshan offers beautiful views along the way. Upon arriving at the hotel, the room was clean and tidy, with the air conditioning already turned on. Best of all, there was a fireplace and a hot spring bath. There was a mahjong table and tatami mats, making it perfect for a family trip. Breakfast was served at the front desk; simple and homey, but the view made it very satisfying.
