Great location near the sightseeing bus stop and the hotel also has a free shuttle to and from the train station (stop is to the far right when you come out of the station). This is a big hotel that gets big tour groups, it seemed to be all Chinese tours when I was there. Consequently there are big lines for breakfast early on, and the reception staff are a bit worn down. There isn't a lot immediately around the hotel but there is a combini a little down the hill and a Cafe Gusto a little up the hill. I was here for two nights and slept terribly both nights. The bed was rock hard, I had to check if there was even a mattress because it felt like sitting on a sheet of plywood. The pillows are plastic pellet filled, sewn into tubes, giving the effect of a sack of potatoes. The room was too warm, but the aircon is directed straight at the bed so the choice was to swelter or freeze (moving the direction of the fins did nothing). I couldn't open the window as the third floor room is actually at ground level on the window side because the hotel is built into a hill. I would not stay here again despite the convenience of the location.
