I loved this hotel as it was inexpensive and really centrally located, right on the pedestrian street - Hefang Street. It's a two minute walk from the metro station, right near dozens of restaurants, shops, and cool old buildings.... The front desk staff spoke some English and were very helpful and willing to use my phone translator when needed. The room, bedding, and bathroom were clean (although the rugs in the halls were not) and the bed was comfortable. I was travelling alone, and stayed four nights and felt very safe. The hotel was quiet. The only downside is that for the cheap price I paid, there was no outside window. Also although it was a non-smoking room, when the heat/ventilation system came on in the evening the smell of smoke was evident. Getting to the hotel from the train station to the hotel was easy, but it's a bit more difficult to get to the airport by public transport as it involves both metro and bus. A taxi will run about 150-250 Y and the private car I reserved (it was spring festival and I was worried about finding a cab) cost $300 Y . All in all I was very pleased with my stay here and plan to stay again.
