South Central China, China hotel rooms at the Independent

"wonderful hospitality"

"Great location. Makes up for the fact it is a little old. Very packed with several conferences when I was there so it was packed. Would stay again just for the location especially with the food street behind the hotel."

"The suit room was impeccable. There are not much options close by for restaurants, but we tried both restaurants in the hotel and they are quite good. The only disappointment was that one of us was not feeling well and needed more rest. We asked for a late check out for one hour, before we head to the airport, and it was declined. At hotels at this level, I would expect more accommodations at customers’ need."

"Very helpful people who ran the hotel. Drove me to the National Park and great with maps and advice."

"Shower drain was a little slow. Room was overall clean and well maintained. Room key lock mechanism failed on 2nd day of 3 night stay. But the problem was fixed fairly quickly. The location was good. We were pleased overall. "

"1. Beautiful (tranquil scenery) stay at Bamboo Leaf hotel which is just a short walk /free shuttle from the noisy busy tourist resort downtown. 2. English speaking reception staff are very helpful with tourist advice and transport questions 3. Comfortable beds and great rain shower option 4. Wow- finally a China hotel which washes laundry for ¥20/kg (rather than ¥20 per item) 5. Great included breakfast and coffee"

"The one English-speaking reception staffer was very helpful and efficient. Good breakfast and aircon. Amazing robotic toilet seat/ auto flushing etc Nice shower. What I suggest is somewhere to hang our towels if we don’t need them washed every day. It’s a new hotel so we understand the new lifts are under construction. The 2 lifts make long waits for a high rise hotel. The TV turning on every time we enter the room is annoying. "

"When we got there, we were offered a different room with a better view so we had to accept. All the staff are very friendly and the breakfast in the morning was amazing! They have a restaurant that gets quite busy and they offered us priority seating since we were guests of the hotel. The room was very clean and cozy and the bathroom looking fantastic! The location is also perfect because everything is so close by. If you plan on visiting the area, this is DEFINITELY the right hotel!"
