Ξενοδοχεία Boutique σε Tianjin, China

Let's start with the positives: 1: The hotel's location is quite good. It's about a 15-minute walk to the Ferris wheel and 10 minutes to the Ancient Culture Street pier. 2: The soundproofing in the room is decent, and the shower pressure is excellent. 3: The overall service is acceptable, and breakfast offers a good variety. However, the downsides are also very apparent: 1: The room type names are incredibly misleading. I specifically chose the 'Flowing River View Twin Room' but ended up with what felt more like a 'River Canal Prison View Room.' If this is the view, they really shouldn't use 'Haihe River View' in the name; it's too deceptive for consumers. If this view were a free upgrade, I wouldn't complain, but paying for it made me feel like I was getting ripped off. 2: The facilities and equipment are outdated. The power outlets by the bed are few and loose; I had to use some mechanical ingenuity to keep plugs from falling out, and half my devices had to be charged by the kettle. The hairdryer in the bathroom felt like something from ten years ago—heavy as a dumbbell, but the air it produced was as gentle as a natural breeze, barely effective. If they can't afford a Dyson, surely they can at least get a domestic brand like Refa? Overall, the experience was very mediocre. If it were a 500-yuan business trip, I could accept it, but for a vacation, I'm truly disappointed and won't choose this hotel again.

I noted my room preferences in advance and they were perfectly met – much appreciated! The night view is absolutely stunning, perfect for photos. The hotel's location is very convenient, it's easy to get a taxi, and it's close to both a shopping complex and the subway. The air conditioning works great! Lounging in the rocking chair in the room with the Bluetooth speaker on 'healing mode' was incredibly relaxing. I accidentally left my charger when checking out, and the front desk contacted me promptly that day. The elevator goes up many floors but is very fast. I do have two small issues: first, the shower head is too powerful, it's like a spray gun and water leaks out from under the glass door. Second, when the hotel is busy, the two robots for room service can be a bit slow. Overall, it was still a great stay!

Hotels, as an indispensable part of any trip, are more than just a place to stay; they create exclusive memories, embodying culture, charm, and flavor. They're like an ambassador of the city – a good hotel makes you smile with gratitude when you close your eyes and recall your trip. The Banyan Tree Tianjin Haihe is precisely one such hotel. Everyone we met was so warm, truly going above and beyond to surprise and delight us. 1️⃣ **Location:** The hotel is conveniently located near Ancient Culture Street, the Italian Style Area, Wanghailou Church, and Runzeyuan. It’s an easy 10-minute walk or a quick taxi ride (about 10-something RMB). 2️⃣ **View:** The river view rooms offer excellent vistas. At night, the neon lights on both sides of the Haihe River reflect beautifully, and boats glide across the water, creating a stunning scene. A heads-up: not all rooms have balconies with openable doors, so you might want to confirm this when booking. 3️⃣ **Room:** River view rooms start from 60 square meters and include a balcony. The first round of mini-bar drinks is complimentary. There’s a spacious sofa, perfectly comfortable for an extra person to sleep on. For just over 1,000 RMB a night, the value for money is excellent! 4️⃣ **Service:** Every single staff member at the Banyan Tree was polite, friendly, warm, and enthusiastic. When one of the sinks in our room was a bit clogged, they not only promptly fixed it but also sent a fruit platter as an apology. Mineral water was replenished very promptly; seeing that we were a larger group (3 adults and 1 child), they even left seven or eight bottles, making it convenient for the child. We brought a swimming ring but forgot the pump, and surprisingly, the pool area had one, which solved our problem! The hotel offers transfer services: a round trip from Tianjin Station to the hotel costs ¥80, and a one-way trip is ¥50. While slightly more expensive than a private car, the hotel uses large, clean, and comfortable business vans. Since we had a baby with us, the hotel graciously extended our check-out time. 5️⃣ **Facilities:** When traveling with children, besides choosing a five-star hotel, we typically look for rooms over 60 square meters and a kids' club. While the Banyan Tree's kids' club isn't huge and lacks toy cars, the upside is that it was empty! The benefit of traveling during off-peak times meant our child had the entire club to themselves.👏👏👏 The swimming pool area has two heated pools, which are more than enough for kids to play in, and the adult pool water was very clean. Ordering takeout was super easy, with a robot delivering food directly to the room. I must particularly commend the front door staff. Every time we took a taxi, they would open the car door, handle our luggage, fold the stroller – they did everything they could. We left something behind, and they brought it out to us on a luggage trolley, very professional. Although the room decor isn't brand new, overall, it's very clean, with an extra-large bathtub. They even provided multiple charging adapters, mosquito repellent, and corner protectors, showing great attention to detail. 6️⃣ **Features:** The hotel's main theme is Zen. There's a dedicated meditation space. I absolutely loved the hotel's signature fragrance – it smells very high-end, and the scent of the hand lotion lingered for a long time; I even wanted to buy a bottle to take home. ❇️ **Minor point:** If I had to find a fault, it would be that while the artwork in the rooms is Zen-inspired, the dark tones could be adjusted to create a warmer atmosphere. 💕 If you're visiting Tianjin with your little one, I highly recommend the Banyan Tree Tianjin Haihe. It will definitely add an extra layer of joy to your wonderful memories! Grateful for the experience! ❤️

I highly recommend the St. Regis Tianjin Financial Street. My stay was absolutely superb, and I must particularly commend the staff member Aiden! Aiden was incredibly warm, attentive, and polite. Check-in was efficient and smooth, and she patiently and meticulously answered all my questions throughout the process. Any needs I had during my stay were promptly addressed. She was thoughtful and proactive, offering helpful tips for local attractions and transportation routes, consistently demonstrating a high level of professionalism. The hotel's location is excellent, the rooms are spacious and elegant, offering stunning views of the Hai River. The living environment is comfortable and tranquil, with comprehensive and well-maintained facilities. The St. Regis truly lives up to its reputation as a high-end luxury hotel; the attentive and meticulous service made me feel exceptionally comfortable and well-cared for. Thanks to Aiden's thoughtful service, this trip was incredibly smooth, and the experience was truly exceptional. The value for money is outstanding, and I will definitely choose this hotel again when I return to Tianjin. A big thank you once more to Aiden for her dedicated service. I wholeheartedly recommend everyone to stay here!

Booking was smooth, and the early bird discount certainly helped, otherwise, the inflated prices for May Day would have been a deterrent. The location is excellent; I've never stayed in this area before, near the Haihe River and Tianjin Eye. It's close to the Wanghailou Church ⛪️, a few great local restaurants, and within walking distance of the general education exhibition area of the Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts, which made this holiday truly beautiful! The room has character. Relaxing on the sofa in the living room with a hand-drawn map and a Sprite, it was a space that lifted my spirits. The toilet flushing sound was the only minor drawback. The massive TV screen can swivel 180°, and I enjoyed over nine hours of peaceful sleep. The sink faucet requires you to bend down to reach it – a puzzling design choice, as in many hotels 🤔… The hotel readily agreed to an extended stay, which made planning my sightseeing much easier. The breakfast restaurant rarely had a wait, and the table spacing was excellent! The watermelon 🍉 was delicious, and the cookies 🍪 were seriously good.

The Astor Hotel is absolutely stunning! My parents and I stayed for two nights and honestly, we didn't want to leave. It was their first time visiting Tianjin, and staying in a hotel with such a rich history and cultural heritage felt incredibly special. Our room, despite its age, was meticulously clean and decorated so charmingly, every photo we took looked straight out of an old vintage movie. We stayed in both a balcony room and a non-balcony room, and each had its own charm. The balcony room was smaller, perfect for one person, but had the largest terrace where you could enjoy the street views up close, breathe in the Tianjin air, and even hear the park-goers playing their instruments, haha! The non-balcony room was much more spacious, feeling huge even for my parents, they could practically run circles in it! Some of the furniture showed a bit of wear due to age, but that's part of staying in a historic hotel, and it was perfectly acceptable. The hotel's current top-up gift offer is a fantastic deal, and I'm already looking forward to my next stay in Tianjin. Highly recommend, 10/10!

This is an older international hotel, so the facilities are a bit dated, but it does have an indoor swimming pool and a gym. The mattress is a bit soft, and the TV doesn't support screen casting. The shower water pressure was good, and the room itself was spacious. The hotel staff were professional and enthusiastic. The hotel's location is excellent, just across the road from Xibeijiao, and right next to Lujiazui Mall and Shuishang City Shopping Mall.

Celebrated Mother's Day with my mom and once again stayed at her favorite Shangri-La. This time, the Horizon Club on the 32nd floor was amazing! We had a panoramic view of the blue sky, white clouds, and the sea and river. While enjoying the beautiful scenery, we comfortably indulged in afternoon tea and happy hour drinks. The experience was fantastic!!! My mom was so happy!

I chose the Westin for it's location and standard. It answered my expectations of comfort, cleanliness and service. The twin room was big and quiet, even though there was some refurbishment work, and considering the hotel is on a busy street. The breakfast choice was large and of good quality (both continental and local) with fresh vegetables and fruits. The coffee machine was definitely a plus. It is very well located, 5 mins walk from Yingkoudao subway station, and a few steps away from cultural houses, restaurants, and malls.

We drove to Tianjin with our child and chose the Hampton by Hilton Tianjin Station. The hotel's location is excellent, right across the street from Jiefang Bridge, Century Clock, and Jinwan Plaza. Tianjin Station is also right next door, making it convenient to go anywhere. Parking is also easy. The hotel facilities are smart, clean, and the overall environment is fantastic. We stayed on a high floor and had a beautiful view of Tianjin's night skyline. I especially want to mention the breakfast buffet; our child loved it! There was a great variety of delicious options. I had the *Jianbing Guozi* (a traditional Chinese savory crepe) several times, and I think the hotel's version is exceptionally good. We'll definitely stay here again on our next visit.
