We stayed only 1 night. For first time visitor, the check in process might be complicated. Firstly, you have to get queue number in the center. When you get your number, you have to queue to check in. Very long queue, but there're lots of receptionists to attend you. There're lots of chairs provided, and several televisions on the lobby....

This hotel has Guinness records for the number of rooms. It took 45 mins to check-in. Crowded. The rooms are very good with all the basic facilities. Comfortable and clean. The windows could be opened only to a small extent. That provides safety as well as a good view of th mountains. We loved the scenic views through the window.... More

But the room has cigarette smoke smell. We found out that all floors are smoking floors except 3 floors. Hence, guests are freely to smoke in the room and hallways, which made the... More
