Hotel Home Inn di Dandong

The view was immaculate, the bed and shower very comfortable and the staff very nice and helpful. Very close to both the train station and the city center. You'll see it directly when you'll be out of the station, very practical.

Really enjoyed the use of the gym and pool areas. Breakfast was amazing!! A good room with bath and super comfortable bed. Friendly and helpful staff. Easy parking below the Wanda Plaza, around 3 to the Yalu river with plenty of shared bikes around too.

The location is great and the price was reasonable for a 5 star hotel. However, there were some things that seemed lacking of a 5 star hotel. The CONS - Rooms come with heavy smoke smell and ashtray even if asking for non smoking, and it was open smoking in the lobby and even elevators. I would have loved a bathtub instead of only a shower. The breakfast was very good for the price (48 rmb) but didn't include juices and their attempt at adding bacon was horrific as it was a fake street sausage type of bacon that's bright red and inedible. There was brand-name water bottles and then there was the hotel water bottles in the room and there was a menu charging 2 rmb to heat up water. I am not sure how they would know or if this is to charge for the people who steal the tea and coffee. But I would expect to boil water for free. Also the gym closed at 19:00 and it seemed a bit early. The PROS - The beds were comfortable. The staff did their best to accommodate and even allowed picking up luggage later. The coffee shop inside had great coffee if you dont mind the smoke. The breakfast was a great value for 48 rmb. The location was great and convenient. The hotel was able to check us in to the room early with availability. The hot spring SPA was amazing as well since there was no pool but you need to be careful not to let them give you extra services (which are sub par) and just enjoy the hot water and sauna for free when you buy something.

The advantages and disadvantages of the hotel are obvious. The advantage is the superior geographical location, facing the Broken Bridge of the Yalu River, and it is not far to walk to the two cruise ship docks. The parking lot is large and has sufficient parking spaces, but the hotel accepts external vehicles, which makes the privacy of the guests staying in the hotel much worse. During the day, the car will most likely be parked far away from the back entrance of the hotel. The disadvantages are old facilities and old decoration style. If you ignore the advantages of the geographical location, the decoration and facilities are not as good as those of the Four Seasons Hotel. The breakfast is just edible, and the staff service is the most unsatisfactory. If the old hardware such as facilities is a problem that cannot be solved in the short term, then the soft conditions such as service attitude should be solved immediately. I hope the hotel can provide corresponding services according to the corresponding star rating.

I hesitated for a long time before checking in. I read reviews saying that the hotel is old, the sanitary conditions are average, and it is not at the level of a five-star hotel. I was struggling whether to stay in other chain hotels. In the end, I felt that it was not bad. It met the travel needs of my mother and me. It was a hotel that I could choose to stay in again. Hygiene: Overall, I think it is OK and comfortable. The bathroom is clean and there is no odor in the room (I live on the 16th floor and the windows can be opened for ventilation, which is a good review), but there is some dust on the bedside table and a little fine dust on the bedding. I am not particularly obsessed with cleanliness, so it is generally acceptable. Geographic location: This is my favorite, right by the river. You can walk to Moon Island downstairs, which is suitable for tourists who are willing to stroll. Looking at the river view makes me feel open-minded, and it can also satisfy my curiosity to observe North Korea. It takes 10 minutes by taxi to central attractions such as the Broken Bridge, and 10 minutes to the Dandong Ship. It is in the middle, and it is very convenient to travel. It takes 10 minutes by taxi to Dandong Station. Service: The service is in place and meets the five-star standard. The service of Miss Chen Songling at the front desk is good. Facilities: The bed is an old-fashioned spring bed, not very soft, more suitable for people like me with lumbar disc herniation. The breakfast variety is rich, there is still a gap from other five-star hotel breakfasts, but it is OK.
