Mello Hotels & Resorts

Amazing boutique restaurant. The staff are so friendly and so so helpful, amazing spot for a solo traveller. Had the best service, highly recommend

Mello is a relatively new hotel in the eastern side of Nanao in Shenzhen. Its location is not bad at all, being right by the Dongshan pier and it is a waterfront property. It markets itself as a "South of France" destination in Shenzhen, and in terms of being inside the hotel, the ambience really is cute and sweet. There are few amenities but I did swim at the pool. The cafe is the absolute highlight, brightly lit with natural daylight and very cosy. The rooms are good and clean. They are all lined with large French windows, as the photos show. We were slightly disappointed at our view, since there is another hotel nextdoor and the metal sheet covers nextdoor show through our window. The side that shows a mountain (more like a hill) view was good enough. It was a pleasant surprise to see that the staff of Mello Hotel are dedicated to good service. When we asked, we always got what we needed. When we didn't ask, they knew what we needed and tried to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The effort is amply shown and it is amply appreciated. I must give a personal thanks to staff member Xiaokang, who went out of his way to help us with our needs. He is a star. At the Dongshan pier, the night views are fantastic, whereas under daylight it is not as photogenic. There are not too many good restaurants within walking distance of the hotel, but there are plenty in Nanao and I recommend visitors to venture out to the restaurants with excellent reviews for food. That said, I was very satisfied with the breakfast at Mello.

Good view, go to the beach Jiediaosha to swim (11rmb on taxi)
