UrCove By Hyatt Shantou Xinyicheng Huanghe Road

The staff were polite and helpful, especially the night shift counter staff XiaoU and Xiaotze. There’s a chill lounge in the first-floor lobby that I liked. Beer and soft drinks are sold at reception, including Asahi and carlsberg for RMB 15 a bottle, and lucking coffee is next door. The rooms are clean and spacious enough for two suitcases, with separate toilet and shower, USB ports, a mini safe, and a fridge. You can ask for extra mineral water. Cars drop off at the roadside, with access for prams and wheelchairs. It takes 10+ minutes by Didi to lingyan Rd and mix c mall. A good massage centre is 10 minutes away by Didi. See the photos for its name, Huangjin Ge Long. I’d highly recommend this smart hotel.

The rooms were spacious, spotless, and comfortable, and my family had a wonderful stay. Staff were courteous and genuinely helpful, always attentive. It was nice to see that they seemed well-rested and cheerful too, which made our interactions even more pleasant. The one small drawback is that the hotel is a bit far from the major shopping malls, with few convenience stores nearby. Still, the hospitality more than made up for that.
