Booked two nights at this hotel after reading the favorable reviews on tripadvisor. Actually went through the costs of the other nearby hotels in the region, but it was fairly comparable, so went ahead with this one.
I arrived at Gongbei through the Macau border by walking, and was afraid of not being able to find the hotel. Thankfully, the hotel has a large flashing sign and easily recognizable. The walk from the customs building took around 10 minutes.
The staff was excellent, i can't really comment on their proficiency in English cause i spoke in Mandarin to them. They were friendly and very helpful in all the requests i have made, including helping me solve a internet problem when i had a connection problem.
The room was great, armed with contactless door cardkeys, and touch-controlled switches. Wonderful amenities, and the bathroom was spacious (i was staying in a deluxe kingsize bedroom). The bathroom was a nice touch, with a transparent glass pane that allows you to watch the TV (if you have to) in the main room while you are bathing. Of course, your partner might or might not be too excited in seeing you naked next door.
Location was ideal, the underground mall can be accessed via the vanguard shopping centre just across the street. It is also within walking distance to Yingbin road and Hualian street, where the main shopping areas are congregated.
Just read the hotel is new as well, and it shows. Highly recommended
