Although the New World Taiyuan boasts about its five star status, it is more like a three star hotel. Other than the greeters at the elevators who were helpful, the rest of the staff was cold and indifferent from the valets on the 1st floor who didn't bother to help with luggage to the front desk clerks on the fifth...

We just back from Taiyuan, we stayed in this hotel for 2 nights, the room is big enough, has a sitting area, everything seems to be fine for a 4, not 5 star hotel standard, but there are blackish mould in the shower stall, which really should not acceptable in a 4 star hotel. There are also stains on the... More

This is a nice hotel with a friendly staff. It is organized in a somewhat special way. There is a big name plate at the entrance on the ground floor, but that is the entrance to the office building this hotel is located in. The lobby and check-in/check-out counter are on the 5-th floor. This is also where the hotel... More

Seems that this is the best hotel in town, located in the center of the city. A bit dated, not really focused for the international (read foreign) traveler. I like it because the building is solid, it has 40 stories, and the food is good. The chiefs are from Brittany and Manila, and are both very nice and accommodating. So... More

This was a nice hotel with big room. Our only problem was that we had asked for a bed for our son (26) who was travelling with us and received a very small children's bed. We attempted to get another room or bed and we were told there were none. We had travelled with him or another adult child through... More

First, I must confess, I was upgraded to a suite upon arrival. The room was huge, complete with the normal suite accoutrements, including four botttles of complementary water, bathrobes, towels, and a fruit bowl. The bedroom had a kingsize bed, and the bathroom a nice tub but a great shower with rainshower and lower shower combo. Towels were new and... More

This is part of my two week Henan / Shanxi tour, and was arranged by the travel agent. This is a great hotel in the middle of Taiyuan city. Quite a few shops and restaurants are within walking distance. However, the traffic can be overwhelming sometimes. This is a high-rise with the hotel rooms from the 24 to 42 floors.... More

Since this is about the best it gets in Taiyuan this hotel is OK for a short stay. The staff, especially at check in, are very hard faced and rude, almost insolent. They almost seem as if they are not Chinese, as everywhere else in China we encountered helpful, smiling people. The rooms are dark with dark furniture and fittings... More

There aren't any international hotel chain hotels in Taiyuan, so we picked this hotel as it looks to be a reliable local brand. The hotel can be considered new and the decor is very nice. However like many Chinese hotels, the housekeeping department misses the some of the basics in cleaning and fails the maintain the bathroom in a good... More

Very good hotel with nice staff, though few were speaking english, but it was not a problem. Big and clean room. Good chinese restaurant in the evening and the next day, we managed to have a good breakfast.
