I loved staying at hicozy, the staff were super nice and helpful, the room was cosy and the communal areas were very nice to stay in as well. I was allowed to leave my suitcases in storage while exploring the city and charged my phone when collecting the suitcase even after checking out.

We are from Colombia and had a wonderful stay at Magnotel Guilin. The location is excellent — close to shops, restaurants, and the main attractions of the city. The staff was very friendly and always willing to help. Special thanks to Vito, our amazing host, who assisted us with everything and made our stay very pleasant. Spacious, clean, and comfortable rooms — highly recommended!

The room was very clean and comfortable. It had everything you can ask for. The location was truely goog, because the Metro was right in front of the door. The Maglev Train not even 5 min by foot. In the area there is a little coffee shop and a very cheap, but good breakfast spot, so breakfast in the Hotel for extra charge is not nescessary.

Lovely room, the bath tub with a city view was an added bonus- but the room was lovely even without that, extra large comfortable bed, very clean, stocked fridge everyday. Breakfast was excellent, with good choice for everyone. Bar prices were good too and the terrace over looking the city at night is a lovely place for an evening drink. Location is ideal- easy walk to the Bund, Yu Yuan garden and the old town shopping street. Staff were also lovely and friendly- would definitely recommend- ideal place to stay in Shanghai
