Shenzhen Qingpu Hotel Apartment

The photos are not from the apartment I stayed. They advertised the place had a swimming pool when it did not. There's one single bathroom for more than 10 people. If someone is showering (and with 10 people, there's always someone showering), you can't pee for over 15-20 minutes. The shower had hot water for 30 seconds, then it was ice cold. This was at 2 pm; in the evening when lots of people are showering, forget about it. There's hair everywhere. The kitchen is super small and there are suitcases everywhere, both in the room as in the kitchen/living room. There's absolutely no cooking utensils. Why to advertise you have a kitchen if you don't have a single pan? Also no cups or mugs to drink water from the kettle. The public/common room they advertised in their trip page is more than 100m away, in another building, and there's no WiFi there (they also advertised free Wi-Fi). There's nowhere to hang out besides the bed. I stayed in the 6 bed dorm so it was actually a room, the 4 bed, which is more expensive, is actually right besides the kitchen/entrance door - it's probably difficult to sleep there with people coming and going all night. The mattress in the bed is as thin as a towel. I booked for 5 nights and expected that at some point I'd get a lower bed, but all the lower beds are taken by long term guests. I have no idea how a horrible place like this has a rating 4.7, probably fake reviews from people that come stay one night and rent long term directly with them and get discounts for positive review.

It's a good place to stay for catching trains the next day. Also, if you are arriving late from Hong kong. Expect a mostly Chinese long term crowd. But the owner lives in too. That means he maintains the place and rules. It can get hot without the ac. But in winters should be fine.

Good location, cheap price, good atmosphere, comfortable, clean environment
