We loved our stay here.
The room itself was beautiful, spacious, spotless, and every aspect was thoughtfully planned - from the lighting (inside closets, bedsides), to storage (plenty of it), to the kitchen (panelized dishwasher and fridge, drying rack over the sink).
The comfortable mattress (slightly on the firmer side), well weighted comforter, mechanized blackout shades, and tabletop fan (provided by request as we are used to sleeping with white noise) helped us greatly with feeling ready to start each day.
The building was great. We didn’t use the gym space, but we did spend some time on/in the rooftop patio and den, both of which had nice city views. We also didn’t have the chance to get a coffee from the lobby, but we did make use of the other drinks and snacks provided there, which were nice for mornings we needed to get out the door quickly and evenings where we wanted another bite of something.
As for the location, it was excellent. There were plenty of food options nearby - cafes, western food, breakfast foods, etc. - including the Linjiang Night Market. A 7-11 and Family Mart were minutes away. It was just under a 10 minute walk to Xinyi Anhe MTR station on the red line, about the same to the Liuzhangli MTR station on the brown line, and there were lots of bus stops in the area too.
But beyond the room, building, and location, we cannot sufficiently compliment the wonderful staff. They were communicative and helpful before we arrived and during our stay, whether it was about our early morning arrival and needing to store luggage until check-in, reminders about logistics prior to New Year’s Eve celebrations, to (twice and on the spot) quickly confirming restaurant availability and hailing a taxi to get us there in time before closing. And those are just a few examples, amongst other thoughtful touches, of the interactions with them that made this stay so memorable.
We highly recommend the Denizen!
