Crystal Palace

“Perfect for a short stay”

A nice all rounder hotel. Rates are good as are the facilities. Not a large selection of food for breakfast but still plenty of choice. Staff are friendly but there is little English used so have a translation app ready. Bar has a good selection. Perfect and we'll priced for a short stay.

“Good hotel”

3-4 stars hotel with affordable prices . Breakfast is not bad and not good, not much foods to select. Hotel is locate next to the lake , you will have a good views when you stay . Nice and clean room, size of the room is comfortable not too small .

“Well located and functional”

This 300+ bed hotel is quite centrally located in this enormous city. I spent a couple of nights there on business and it all worked pretty well. Probably built in the late 80s when glass and mirror were a big thing, the bedroom was a good size, as was the bed. The bathroom was perfectly adequate… more

This 300+ bed hotel is quite centrally located in this enormous city. I spent a couple of nights there on business and it all worked pretty well. Probably built in the late 80s when glass and mirror were a big thing, the bedroom was a good size, as was the bed. The bathroom was perfectly adequate, wi-fi was ok but everything was clean and worked. Had a little power boost device next to the bed to charge devices, which was useful and there were free water (bottles). AC worked fine and was easily turn on/offable. I ate at the Swiss Coffee Cafe (?) on the ground floor, which is anything but Swiss. Both breakfast and dinner were full-on Chinese buffet jobs. Can be a little overpowering but I could usually find something to suits, but don’t expect a massive choice of western dishes. Felt like I was the only westerner staying at the hotel… it was definitely geared for Chinese clientele, which is fine of course. The staff were polite but communication was a challenge sometimes. And those rock-hard mattresses can take some getting used to!
