"The room was great, I booked a suite facing the road with a view of the Hai River. It was lovely to stroll along the river in the evenings and mornings. It's less than a kilometer from the Tianjin Eye, which was very pleasant at night. The breakfast was quite good, meeting my needs with bread, sliced baguette, milk, cereal, and fresh vegetables. The lobby was neat and clean, and the mini-bar was excellent. The service was fantastic; I ate alone, as my companion wasn't feeling well and didn't come down for breakfast. A short-haired staff member from the breakfast restaurant brought a generous meal up to my room – much appreciated! They also have a gym, yoga room, and laundry room, which cover all basic needs. Even with a room rate of just over 300 yuan, these amenities are really impressive. Overall, I was very satisfied. It's close to all the main attractions in Tianjin, and there are some good restaurants downstairs. Behind the hotel, in the residential area, you can find all sorts of eateries. Tianjin cuisine is pretty straightforward, sharing many dishes with Beijing and Hebei (no offense to locals, just my personal observation).
The only downsides: it is a bit noisy being close to the road, as many people stroll along the Hai River. Also, there are garbage trucks in the morning; early morning garbage collection is a Tianjin characteristic, so I can't blame the hotel. If you're a light sleeper, I'd recommend a room facing north, away from the road. The suites seem to be corner rooms facing the road.
Additionally, the soundproofing isn't great. I could hear two people chatting in the hallway for an entire night – it's rare for guests to talk loudly in hotels, but I encountered it. Other than that, I was quite satisfied and would definitely stay again."
