Hongsheng Hotel (Shenzhen Railway Station)

Great location! Walkable to a lot of places included railway station, short subway ride to Dongmen, Aunties are nice especially housekeeper auntie she provided me more towels and napkins without asking🫰🏽 But something went wrong with hair dryer 😆

The room was small but actually clean. The bathroom was the same, small but clean. For the price, I can't complain.

This hotel is great for a one-night stay if you need easy access to Shenzhen Railway Station (especially frequent trains to and from Guangzhou) or the subway system (it has access to lines 9 and 1 within less than 100 m. The hotel is in the same building as Bank of China, on the 17th floor and there are elevators around the back of the building. The room was small, with a single bed (hard mattress) with a small shower/toilet/sink combination attached. (It reminded me a lot of the arrangement in my motorhome years ago.) However, it was worth the 50RMB per night and it was quiet so I was able to sleep well.

I do not like to write negative reviews about hotels, and I have not done so until this one. The only good thing about this hotel is its close proximity to the border checkpoint. Other than that, I am afraid to say that every about it is very negative. The owners or managers have no inkling at all on how to run an accommodation, albeit a budget one. I have stayed in numerous accommodations of similar price range in China, and I have never experienced such a bad situation. Travellers need to rest and sleep. Accommodations should prioritize this need. But this place was full of noise (of people talking and yelling, of utensils and equipment), right up into the deep night, preventing guests from sleeping. It was 4:30 AM that the noise finally stopped. This was cruel, wicked. In addition, the room was smelly, the ceiling stained by leaked rainwater(?), the towel old and worn-out. To top it off, the shower did not have hot water, even after I put it on for many, many minutes. This was my experience at the so-called "Comfort single room" which turned out to be the most uncomfortable of all rooms I had ever stayed at.

Kind staff. But can speak only Chinese.
