Re: Crowne Plaza(5 star)
Great location. There is major construction underway of the road next to the hotel. They're building a subway and it will take 2-3 years to complete. Taxi from the airport to the hotel costs me rmb150. I was told that it would be rmb 100, but when I asked 2 taxis they both quoted me rmb 200. I bargained it down to rmb150. Even with the construction my room was pretty nice and quiet in the evening. Service was great, breakfast was pretty good. Lobby and concierge staff spoke pretty good English. If you walk straight down towards the river for about 10 minutes, you can see the senior citizens exercising, singing, playing cards and having a good time. Its another 15 minute walk over the bridge to Orange Island. From the hotel if you walk the opposite way, you'll see a large shopping center with Starbucks and KFC, then if you find your way across the subway construction, you'll find a Walmart and Bar Street. Just ask the concierge, they have a map of the city and they even offer a free shuttle to the airport.
Re: Crowne Plaza City Centre Changsha
Due to the very large subway construction project running alongside the hotel, it was a bit inconvenient to get across the street. But in a very short 5 minute walk is a very nice shopping center with KFC and Starbucks. If you go below the road and down the stairs near the KFC you'll find a very large underground shopping center. The river is also a 10 minute walk from the hotel. Saw a very nice fireworks at the river. I actually walked down to cross the overpass to Orange Island. It took about 25 minutes. I had a very nice suite with a living room, walkin closet, tub, shower and king size bed with two TVs and even a bar area. It was quiet at night and everything worked fine. They have a very nice spa and massage center in the hotel. Got a foot massage 2 of the 3 nights I was there. The Bar street and Walmart is within a 15 minute walk of the hotel. Great location.
Ask about the free shuttle service to the airport.
