Aloft Dongguan Songshan Lake

This is a comfortable hotel with nice friendly staff who have a good quality of English. However the breakfast could be better and the coffee especially was quite bad. There are plenty of alternative food options just outside the hotel which is handy.

Pros: 1. The staff was excellent (with one mistake, see Cons). The manager was very considerate throughout my stay, and one of her team members walked me over to a noodle house after I asked for a recommendation in the plaza. 2. The gym though not as large as a 5-star was immaculate and air conditioned. 3. The location (which is also a Con) allows for walking around Songshan Lake and is a part of Vanke Plaza, which has a combination of food and services, including a Starbucks, McDonald's, and soon to be KFC. There is a small bar called Ascription, which offers good vibes. Jason is the manager and is a good guy. Cons: 1. The AC, which past reviewers warned about, is inaccurate because it is capped. You can lower it all you want, but good luck with that. In addition, despite the fact that my room was well cleaned, there was also a mildew smell that was pervasive in my room. 2. I was double charged. I prepaid through Hotels.com and explained before and after checkout that I did so. My Chinese was apparently insufficient which is what happens when I didn't use WeChat. Fortunately, Hotels.com returned my pre-payment without too much hassle. 3. Location. My driver could not find the hotel despite providing him with the address in Chinese. In fact, this happened more than once. The hotel though inside Vanke Plaza is around the back past one of the parking entrances. Use Starbucks, and McD's at Vanke as landmarks, but it's a 3-5 min walk from there to the hotel.

Stayed 3 nights at the Aloft Dongguan during a business trip, my first to Dongguan. The hotel is next to a small shopping mall with mainly eateries and restaurants, including Starbucks, Pizza Hut and a variety of local restaurants. Hotel is clean, modern and spacious. They were out of double rooms, but the twin room I was assigned had 2 queen-sized beds and was large enough for 4 persons. All the usual amenities were available, and there's even a refilling point for drinking water at the lift lobby on each floor.

I had a 2 night stay at the Aloft. I was there for business. It is located in a newly developed part of Dongguan. The hotel is situated in a beautiful area near shops and restaurants. Very quiet hotel. The only complaint I had was that the bed was too firm for my liking. Otherwise, this is a wonderful hotel and I will stay there again on my next trip.

Clean, the bath towel is nice and fluffy, choices of pillows, laundering facilities.

3-stars business friendly hotel. The design is modern. The facility is well-maintained (in Chinese standard).

Good small gym and clean room. I liked it.

This is nice hotel indeed. And very comfortable and location is well... and I want to book another day, they are full of guest already. So pity!

洗衣房沒洗衣精，通知2次櫃檯後等了20分鐘才來

住房舒適，而且清潔人員很盡責且親切，櫃檯服務人員也很用心的解說和服務⋯ 咖啡機是我比較不滿意，容易故障，以及需要等待⋯
