Hotel Rooms - Part 12 - Nan Hai Hotel


The Nan Hai Hotel in Shenzhen is not a great moment in hosteler history. The first moments are pleasant enough, as the hotel is literally a stone's throw from the ferry pier connecting Shenzhen to Macau and Hong Kong airport. The extremely long check-in is a clue that something is amiss, as is the fact that the door key card does not work. The polyfilla stuck between broken tiles in the bathroom are not reassuring. The buffet dinner looks delightful, until one realises that the same buffet is laid out for breakfast and lunch. On the food front, there is a row of "chicken bars" just outside the hotel gates. The Nan Hai is clearly a 2-star in 5-star clothing. The breakfast garden is quite nice, though, on days when the smog is not too thick.
