Our spacious room overlooked the lovely lotus of East Lake. The room size was quite comfortable, with a couch and sitting area. The bathroom and shower were lovely stone, with plenty of counter space and wonderful water pressure. Furniture provided ample storage for two people unpacking, and closet size was also very good. Breakfast was excellent, with many Asian choices, as well as Western. Every morning, the selections varied a bit, but the soup station, with its own chef, remained a favorite. The public areas are quite grand, our room was most serene.
This hotel is actually called East Lake International Convention Center. Donghu is just road its on.
This hotel is located in the actually East lake District of Wuhan. Ideal for those who want to relax after a long day at work or take relax.
Firstly I booked this hotel using ctrip which included breakfast. You are able to use International Credit Cards and are required to put a 4000 RMB deposit down (this can be void at a at check out). You pay at check out your hotel stay. English is very limited but enough for you to check in and out. There is an international ATM too. Please note they do not do foreign exchange at the front counter. Thus the ATM.
When they change your room the breakfast voucher will be next to your kettle.
This hotel is located next to Donghu Lake which is a very big scenery location. It's also located next to the Convention Center.
The hotel included an outdoor swimming pool (they call it a spa) which is only open in summer. Outside of the hotel is a very nice scenery area were you can search for Sakura flowers and Maozedong retreat.
Inside the hotel room is rather large and included all the necessary things you require in a hotel room. These include: reverse cycle aircon (Not all hotels in Wuhan have heaters), a computer, bridge, bathroom, kettle, a rechargable torch (for viewing the lake at night) and two free water bottles a day. Please note its advised to boil any tap water if you want to drink it. Wifi is free and can be easily connected (no password required).
Inside your room your be pleased to know most signs are in English and Chinese. In fact there is a book that explains what services the hotel provides. The only disappointed is the map provided is in Chinese.
This hotel is ideal for a weekend away or for anyone who wants to explore the East Lake. For anyone who wants to stay longer it is a little bit far to walk from the hotel to say the Hubei Museum.
I would recommend coming to this hotel in summer when the swimming pool is open.
