I thought this was a very nice hotel. A few blocks from a couple of markets, and various alleys where local Chinese sell food and other items, etc. A friend and I ate at a couple of very cheap, but generally good local restaurants within easy walking distance. Breakfast at the hotel was very nice, with a very large assortment.... more

The staff was helpful and friendly, and had an overall terrific command on the English language, for those travelers who find Mandarin difficult. The room was very clean, high quality, with a really nice view for those who like to observe the city streets and people watch. It also had a nice Chinese flair to the decor. The hotel restaurant... more

Not having been to China before I had nightmares of staying an unsafe dump. Upon checking in to the Jade Palace any fears I had vanished instantly. The room was very well done with wood, carpet, and artwork all coming together to create a first-class atmosphere. The bathroom, while not large, was very well done with an all-glass shower and... more

The Jade Palace Hotel was good quality with a decent sized room and plenty of facilities. Watch out, though, as the pool, gym, etc., are not included in the room price which was a bit of a surprise. We had problems with getting wake-up calls so I have rated the hotel 3 instead of 4 or 5. It was hit... more
