Sentosa Hotel Apartment Taoyuan Branch

Very nice hotel, close to the Shenzhen University and to a Subway station

Hotel is in perfect location. There is 7eleven around the corner, a lot of restaurants and metro station is only 2-3 minutes by foot. We had a room on the highest floor and the view was amazing. The room was very nice and clean. There was some tea, juice or coffee for free in the lobby during the whole day. The breakfast was tasty-there are a lot of options of chinese and international food and everything is delicious. The staff was nice and helpful, especialy a man who was resposible for our check in - his english was really good what isn’t very common in China. He was really helpful during the whole our stay in this hotel.

I didin’t like a pool. It wasn’t the pool for having a relax. I had to have a cup if I wanted to swimm in this pool, there wasn’t any deckchairs and overall I didn’t feel comfortable by this pool. Another problem is that staff at the reception speaks english but nobody else - if you call servis room or try to ask something the staff by the pool, nobody is able to speak with you.

It is centrally located, on the same building (very big) as the Metro Station. In the centre of Nanshan District, Shenzhen. There are many restaurants around including traditional ones (really liked the one with the local small "lobsters") and international like Burger King and Starbucks. It has a spacious parking space that gave a lot of options. Most of the visitors seemed to come from mainland China so it was a good "local" choice.

The breakfast was too "Chinese" for me as it had a great variety of foods which were unknown to me. The internet connection for international websites was very slow but for local ones, it was fast. I don't believe it was a fault of the hotel but rather of "The Great Firewall of China". Although, for international guest like me, it would be possible to establish a VPN and inform the user about an option to use it at his/her own choice.
