Yatai Hotel Changchun, Changchun

I spent 10 days in this hotel. The rooms are very clean, comfortable and very well serviced. The beds are a bit hard to my liking, but this is of course a matter of what you are used to. The hotel offers free breakfast for the guests. Very convenient location right downtown Changchun very close to major shopping areas. Excellent value for the money. Very low rates in an upscale environment. As it is located right downtown, it tends to be very noisy with the traffic and shoping advertising on the outside. The room offers a TV, but no radio. I also really missed a clock. Foreign trravelers may encounter a communication problem as the hotel staff does not speak English and those who do know some English, their knowledge is very basic and not very helpful. If traveling from abroad, be prepared to use cash. The hotel accepts credit cards but often encounters authorization problems. I am not sure if there is an Internet connection in the hotel, but there is a great Internet caffee right in the neighbouring building that charges only 2 RNB per hour to use the Internet. Overall, a very good experience. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others.
