Grand Mercure Urumqi Hualing 5 نجوم

Don't be fooled by the grand entrance. The rooms are old and dated. I stayed on the 8th floor with my tour group. The shower tub does not drain well and floods. Many of my friends also experienced the same problem. I made sure to turn off shower when lathering soap and shampoo and turning it back on to rinse off. The tub still floods and the water drains very slowly. It doesn't drain very well. And it also leaks out onto the floor from a corner of the tub. The sink does not drain water very well too. Other than that, it is an ok room.

This hotel is an embarrassment to the Accor brand. The window in the room is boarded up. How can a room in a five star hotel not even have a window? I called to complain and they said many rooms were like this. And the smell in the room. The bathroom absolutely stinks and emanates throughout the whole room. Hard to sleep it was so disgusting. I'm only here one night so didn't ask to switch rooms. Stay away from this hotel. I can't believe how bad it was

I stayed two separate nights within a week. Upon entry, the hotel looks very beautiful and has a 5 star decoration above the lobby. However, it's a rather inconvenience hotel for families: - only one person spoke English, so it was difficult to communicate - the hotel restaurant only has Chinese menus with no pictures and the staff had difficulties understanding my mim'ed broken Chinese - room service only starts at 11 p.m.... so how can you feed your children and put them to bed at 8:00 p.m.? - the room service menu is limited, anyhow - the shower has no holder for the shower head, so you have to hold the water and lather - there was construction happening in the room below mine, so I was hearing hammering throughout the night - we had to get a NAT test every single time we entered the hotel. resulting in us getting two NAT tests in one day. (LOL)

Stayed 14 nights in this property and have to say that the service level is highly commendable. Manager Abdullah from breakfast lounge is very attentive and takes care of us very well, and not forgetting other managers. Only setback, despite requesting and insisting on NON SMOKING rooms/floor, there were still smokers, I believed they were Chinese guests, secretly or rather, blatantly smoking in their NON SMOKING floors. Ventilation is bad as the smoke flows through into our rooms. Speedy service recovery by the hotel team include placing air ioniser in our room. For one to stay 14 nights, with our daughter being sensitive to cigarette smoke, it was one memorable stay. Hotel management should enforce and be stricter with such rules. As an international chain group, every guest should be treated equal and non smokers shouldn't be penalised, and bear the brunt and suffer as a result of other insensitive and uncultured travellers. Despite these, this property is highly recommended. Good location with wholesale centre within walking distance and many local delights nearby. We will be back again end 2020 again to fulfil another 14 nights stay and hopefully, we will have cleaner air in our room.

I stayed 3 nights at the hotel this January and I was extremely impressed with every aspect of the hotel. First of all the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Lynne was very professional and was always there to help. Im a platinum member and was given a free upgrade to a suite along with fruits and offered a late checkout which was very useful. The room was spotless and very spacious. For me this is the nicest hotel I've stayed in Urumqi and the location is great around 25 mins to the airport and pretty central. Would definitely stay here again!
