As a seasoned traveler who has stayed in hundreds of hotels worldwide, my first experience with Atour S hotel was exceptionally pleasing, a refreshing change from my usual stays at Marriott. The hotel seemed almost brand new and boasted a staff that was incredibly friendly and welcoming.
The Jimu Double Room where I stayed on the 14th floor was not only spacious but also elegantly designed, offering a stunning river view that added to the room's charm. Comfort was a priority, with features like a memory foam mattress and pillows. For tech convenience, the room was equipped with USB A & C ports and wireless charging pads. As a tea lover, I was delighted by the cute tea pot set and an assortment of loose tea bags from Yunnan.
Additionally, the hotel provided a laundry room with the newest models of washers and dryers, and to my surprise, laundry detergent was available free of charge. The provision of late-night light meals, complimentary and exclusively Chinese cuisine, was a thoughtful touch for any late-night cravings.
However, one aspect that could be improved was the water pressure in the shower, which I found to be a bit weak. Despite this, the overall services, amenities, and facilities offered by Atour, especially considering the price point, were impressive. This hotel not only meets but exceeds expectations, providing comfort, convenience, and a hint of luxury. It comes highly recommended for travelers seeking an exceptional stay.
