Grade Hotel Shenzhen Shekou Sea World

Everything is good about this hotel...I will stay again

It was perfect for me

Great location, good size rooms, lively staff

Great location, next to MTR station and a mall. Lots of eateries around. They had a breakfast buffet, plenty of vegetables and eggs. Room was spacious and clean with great view! Pillows and bed were comfortable. Every room got 6 bottles of free water. Great water pressure!

There was no partition between bathroom and bedroom, that was really awkward, no privacy. The desk chair was odd with a big empty space in the middle. When I walked out of the hotel room I could smell strong cigarette smoke in the air. That is because certain rooms are dedicated smoking rooms. I would have been better if they could divide smoking rooms to certain floors.

The comfort and design of the hotel, beautifully done.

The staff doesn't speak english, and doesn't make the least effort to try understanding what you need. I had a few very unpleasant experiences, not friendly hotel for foreigners, unless perhaps you are already used to china and know your ways around. At the end of my stay, I met 2 girls who were speaking a bit of english and were more inclined to be helpful, Joey, and Lucky. Additionally a guy didn't speak english but was less indifferent that the rest, and was ok to translate with an app, i don t have his name unfortunately. The rest of the staff (most of them) are not trained, and have no clue about international hospitality standards. I had to insist a lot to get the room I had booked, they gave me another room, it took me a long long time to check in. There is wifi, but come with an international sim card that covers china, otherwise you won't have access to most of your regular apps.
