2-Starhotels in Shenzhen

I was unexpectedly stranded at Shenzhen North (Shenzhenbei) during the busy holiday season and urgently needed a place to stay. After comparing several listings on Trip.com, this hostel stood out based on its reviews, and it fully lived up to my expectations. The photos are accurate and reflect the property exactly as it is. The host prepared the bed sheets and pillowcases right in front of me, which immediately reassured me about the cleanliness. Everything was spotless and well maintained. Cleanliness is one of my top priorities when choosing accommodation because I value my health, and I felt completely comfortable staying here. I saw no pests or anything unhygienic, so if you’re concerned about that, you can rest easy. The host speaks basic English and was very welcoming. Since I had just traveled from Hong Kong Airport to Shenzhen North, he even kindly offered to show me around the area. There are plenty of food options nearby, I enjoyed Lanzhou noodles and stinky tofu just steps from the building. For clarification, the hostel is located inside an apartment building and operates in a dorm-style setup. Shoes are removed at the entrance, and guest slippers are provided. There is a comfortable common area with a sofa and dining table, free drinking water, and complimentary toiletries including a toothbrush and disposable towel, which was especially helpful since I had forgotten to pack one. The bathroom is modern and equipped with a Western-style sit-down toilet. Each bed has its own privacy curtain and personal light, which I appreciated. There are also power outlets conveniently located at each bed. Wi-Fi worked smoothly without any issues, and free laundry is available, which is a great bonus for travelers. There are designated quiet hours, so you can sleep comfortably. During my stay, it was peaceful and no one snored. The host even asked whether I snore, which shows he is considerate of all guests. The other guests were polite and respectful. I was the only foreigner staying there, and the rest were Chinese travelers who were likely in the same situation, unable to secure train tickets that night. The property is non-smoking, which I also appreciated. The only minor downside is for taller guests. I am 183 cm (6 ft), and I had to curl up slightly since the bed length appears to be around 180 cm. It was manageable, but something to keep in mind if you’re tall. The location is very convenient. It’s next to the train station, and you can easily take the subway if you have luggage. It only cost me 2 RMB to ride, so there’s really no need to take a taxi. In the morning, I bought pork steamed buns and soy milk from a nearby vendor, he was friendly, and the food was great. For $4, this was outstanding value. If you’re looking for a clean, affordable, and convenient place to stay near Shenzhen North, this is an excellent option. Hopefully this review helps anyone considering staying in the area. 假期高峰期间，我意外滞留在深圳北站，急需找一个地方过夜。在 Trip.com 上对比了几家之后，这家青旅的评价最好，事实证明我的选择是对的。 实物与图片完全一致。老板当着我的面铺床单和枕套，让我对卫生情况非常放心。整体环境非常干净整洁，维护得也很好。因为我很重视健康，选择住宿时卫生是我最看重的因素之一，这里让我住得很安心。没有看到任何虫子或不干净的地方，如果你担心卫生问题，可以放心选择。 老板会说一些基础英语，人也非常热情。我刚从香港机场来到深圳北，他还主动提出可以带我熟悉一下周边环境。楼下和附近有很多吃的，我就在旁边吃了兰州拉面和臭豆腐，非常方便。 这家青旅位于一栋公寓楼内，是宿舍式布局。进门需要脱鞋，店家会提供室内拖鞋。公共区域有沙发和餐桌，提供免费饮用水，还有一次性牙刷和毛巾。我旅行时忘记带毛巾，这点对我来说非常贴心。卫生间是现代化的马桶，不需要蹲厕。 每个床位都有隐私帘和独立照明灯，床位旁边也有插座。Wi-Fi 信号稳定，没有任何问题。另外还提供免费洗衣服务，这对旅行者来说是很大的加分项。 店内有安静时间规定，所以晚上可以安心休息。我入住期间非常安静，也没有人打呼噜。老板还特意问我会不会打呼噜，可见他很照顾每位客人的感受。 其他住客都很礼貌、很安静。我是唯一的外国人，其他客人都是中国旅客，可能和我一样，当晚没买到火车票才临时入住。这里是无烟环境，我很喜欢这一点。 唯一的小缺点是对高个子来说床可能稍短。我身高183厘米（6英尺），需要稍微蜷着睡。床长大概180厘米左右，高个子可以提前考虑一下。不过整体来说还是可以接受的。 地理位置非常方便，就在火车站旁边。如果带行李，可以直接坐地铁到附近，我只花了2元人民币，完全没必要打车。第二天早上，我在附近买了猪肉包子和豆浆，老板也很友善，味道不错。 总的来说，4美元的价格性价比非常高。如果你在深圳北附近寻找一个干净、实惠又方便的住宿地点，这里是非常不错的选择。希望这条评价能帮到有需要的人。

Smart room layout, a lot of open shelves to keep personal items organized. A shout-out to the cleaning lady who did a good job. Close to HaiYa Mall and subway station. Will stay again.

觀星酒店在沙崗村，離西涌2號沙灘很近，離天文台的4號沙灘也不遠。酒店很新，各種設施都比較好用。房間乾淨衞生，被褥潔白如洗，衞生間乾濕分離。有停車位，淡季無憂，旺季可能緊張一些。酒店附近餐館好幾家，早餐出門左拐沿路走稍遠點最後一家的腸粉味道不錯。酒店服務很好，前台人員挺熱情，幾個年輕人還幫着拿行李，臨走還給了兩瓶水。

I stayed here for the second time, in a room in a developed commercial area, surrounded by numerous malls, close to the KKMAll Mixc shopping center and many good tourist areas. It's within 500 meters by skytrain, just a short distance from the station to the Lowu station, very convenient. The rooms are clean and spacious, and the check-in counter cooperates with excellent service. The housekeeper cleans every day, quite clean. When compared to the price, it's very worth it. I will definitely come back to stay here again. 😊

The hotel owner was exceptionally welcoming and attentive to every guest's needs.They maintained a warm and professional atmosphere throughout our stay. It was clear they took pride in the cleanliness and comfort of the hotel. Their hospitality truly made the visit memorable.

The location is great. When you go out, you will easily be greeted with a lot of food and restaurant options. Train is also accessible. The front door is located infront of the street with cars so when you use didi, you can directly be dropped off into the front door. When we first came, we were confused cause the elevator can’t go up to 14th floor. Apparently, there are 3 elevators in the first floor but only 2 on the left can be used to go up to 14th floor. The right elevator wont open at the 14th floor because it is where the reception of the hotel is placed. When we went, we were asked if we are okay with one computer only. As someone who wasn’t planning to use the PC, I said it’s okay. However, when we went to the room, having 1 computer also meant we got the smaller room cut. I was so frustrated cause I read all reviews of a lot of hotels and really searched for a big cut room because we have big luggages and we were there for Christmas. I pipped on a room that was vacant when we checked in and it was a lot bigger than our room (same room type, just no pole and have 2 PCs) Mostly because our room also has this huge building pole that consumed a lot of space also. The reception was nice and friendly though. She helped us carry our bags. However, the room itself was clean but you can smell the particles/dust of smoke that the previous user left. It isn’t direct smoke smell but as someone who is very allergic to smoke, our nose can pick up the particles itself like the dust that came from the cigar specially in the computer chair. So it didn’t smell like cigar but the particles left made us allergic and sneezing for the entire stay. I told the reception the next day and they cleaned and used a device to remove smoke in the room. I really appreciated this since it lessen out sneezing throughout the night. However, the smoke smell was evident when you go out of the room. Most probably because other guests are smoking outside or at the reception itself. Kind of sad because it says in the listing that this property was a non-smoking room. Which if they said that someone is able to smoke, I wouldn’t even consider the property in the first place. Contrary to other reviews, I saw a robot in the basement that was able to deliver food by itself. I’m not sure if it can go up to the hotel because we didn’t try but the robot was functioning and was able to deliver food in other floors. Overall, the stay was great. Amenities were there such as shampoo, soap, toothbrush, slippers, bathrobe and others. Just frustrated because we got a smaller room cut (the image looks big because of mirrors) and smells like cigar even though I also noted in my booking that I have a very bad allergy towards cigarette. Oh, and the other reviews were right, if you are sensitive to noise, you need to double think before booking because the cars and the street noise can really be heard in the room. For someone who is not sensitive to noise that much, it wasn’t a concern for me. The pillows and bed was great and comfortable :) There’s also a refrigerator in the room.

De kamer is vervallen, de geluidsisolatie is zeer slecht en de kamer is zowel schoon als vies. We checkten op 27 januari rond 21.30 uur in in het hotelappartement in het Longyuan Chuangzhan-gebouw. Kamer 2708. Pluspunten: Het beddengoed is schoon en vervangen, en het bed is goed om op te slapen. Alle werkbladen en vloeren binnenshuis zijn schoon en stofvrij. Nadelen: Er zitten veel vlekken en kanker op de muren, veel beschadigde kastdeuren en vloeren, en ze zijn al lange tijd in verval. Er zit veel stof op de ventilatieopeningen van de airconditioning en de lichtdraden. Het meest schandalige is dat er in het midden van de wc-bril een paar druppels gestolde urinevlekken zitten, die waarschijnlijk niet zijn afgeveegd. Natuurlijk heb ik niet aan de reacties gedacht, dus heb ik geen foto’s gemaakt en ook niet aan kleedkamers gedacht. Ik heb het gewoon zelf afgeveegd met een nat doekje. Bovendien is de geluidsisolerende werking extreem slecht. Het is lawaaierig door blaffende honden, gesprekken, voetstappen, tv, dichtslaande deuren, enz. Werd meerdere keren wakker gemaakt. Geen USB-oplaadpoort.

Vervoer: In gebouw nr. 8 van Hong Kong en Macau kun je lopen naar metrolijn 2. Er zijn andere metrolijnen in de buurt en het vervoer is relatief handig. Voordat je incheckt, heb je de hulp van de bewaker beneden nodig om te swipen de verdiepingskaart voordat u naar boven gaat. U kunt naar de oude straat Dongmen lopen. Voordelen: Complete faciliteiten, inclusief keuken, koelkast en keukengerei. Als u uw eigen potten en schalen meeneemt, kunt u uw eigen eten koken. Er is een balkon om kleding te drogen. Er zijn drie bedden, die comfortabeler zijn om te slapen, en er staat een bed tegen de muur, wat veiliger is voor kinderen. Nadelen: Voor de sleutelkaart is een borg van 100,- vereist, de hygiënische situatie is gemiddeld en de wegwerpbenodigdheden van het hotel zijn niet compleet. U kunt het beste uw eigen pantoffels en toiletartikelen meenemen. Mineraalwater is niet aanwezig. Ik kwam heel vroeg aan en bewaarde mijn bagage bij de baas. Kortom een ​​bevredigend verblijf.

Mijn familie en ik vonden het leuk om in dit hotel te blijven. Het was schoon, comfortabel, geweldige locatie dicht bij de metro, veel restaurants en dicht bij de garage. Echt genoten het verblijf en zal weer teruggaan.

We are a group of 7 friends. I made a reservation for all of us together and paid around 8€, which I thought was a very good price. The day we arrived, the owner told us the price was per person and not for the whole booking, which was odd as the reservation already had our 7 names on it, but also reasonable considering the very low price. After our stay I can honestly say that the original price of 8€ for 7 is the maximum I would have paid for this place. The rooms themselves are not too bad and in line with the Chinese standard (quite right, very hard and slim futon mattresses), but also clean sheets and good privacy with curtains. The real issue with this place are the bathrooms. First of all there are only two of them for more than 20 people. Secondly, they are nothing short of disgusting. One of them is a room with a squatting toilet, a sink and a shower that smells like piss worse than a public toilet. The second one has a Western toilet with a broken toilet seat and a shower without a shower head (basically like a garden hose). I normally don't complain about these things as I'm used to traveling on a budget. But as I said, these are things I would have totally accepted if the price I paid was indeed the original one I made a reservation for. Especially because for that price (as a group of 7) you can find cheaper and nicer options in the same area. I would not recommend this place unless you really can't find anything cheaper or better, or if you want to be very close to the civic center. Definitely not a good place to stay more than 1 night.
