Beauty Ripples Hotel (Changsha South Railway Station West Square Branch)

The location is excellent, suitable for those taking high speed rail and staying for traveling purpose

When you follow the address you arrive at a big hotel with many hotels in it. This hotel is on floor 21 and it is an excellent hotel. We had a stunning room and the washing facilities were also very convenient. It’s about an 8 minute walk to the treinstation. Checkin was smooth, no issues. We were just here overnight so no sightseeing suggestions. For food you go to Taiping Old Street/Town, directly by metro or 25 minute walk by taxi but worth the drive. We had an amazing meal at a place specializing in frog. We did not have the frog but other dishes and it was one of our best meals. Picture is of restaurant.

Lovely big room and everything seems very new. Not overly happy with the smell of cigarette in the room but this seems quite common in Chinese hotels. Even the 5 stars international chains. Hotel staff was extremely helpful. My only problem is that the hotel is really not easy to find. While the hotel is all done and operational, the building it’s in appears to be still under construction (ground floor was a building site and lift was all boarded up). Unless you can read Chinese and you know where you’re going, it really isn’t obvious to find.
