ibis Wuxi Hi Tech

It’s clean and popular with Korean business travelers. There are lots of Korean restaurants nearby, as well as Korean and Chinese supermarkets and coffee shops.

The room was a pleasant surprise: it was clean, and the bedding and pillows were better than I expected. The amenities were neatly arranged and well stocked. I’d booked through Trip.com for 70,000 won for a Wuxi business trip, planning to stay just one night. The hotel is surrounded by Korean restaurants, and a delicious 110-year-old dumpling restaurant is right next door. There’s also a nice bakery and cafe nearby. My first impressions weren’t promising. Though it’s a four-star hotel, the basement parking was dingy and not very clean. The first-floor lobby entrance was narrow, and the interior didn’t feel like a Korean business hotel. The one downside was the old luggage storage area on the fourth floor, which had little selection. The treadmill worked, but its belt slipped and nearly caused me to fall. Oops, I forgot to mention that to the front desk. ㅜㅜ

At around 70,000 won a night, I personally wouldn’t recommend it. The main problems were the noise and the fact that people outside could see into the room. The ventilation system also made some noise. It’s in a Wuxi neighborhood where Koreans gather. The place was clean, but it’s low-rise, with shops across the street and on the floor below.
