01/05/2014 stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. Booked in advance in December 2013. The price is 200 dollars per day. We chose the hotel for its location - in the old part of the island, everything is at hand.
Upon exiting the airport by taxi (Terminal 2), the taxi that goes to the old part of G is red, and the green one is to the new part of G. The price of a taxi to the hotel is 350-380 USD G (rate 1 USD to 5) in time 40-45 minutes . We arrived at night, so there are no traffic jams, by the way, we flew out during the day and there were no traffic jams either. Taxi travels at a speed of 90-120 km.
I really liked that they settled right away, although we refused a refrigerator with a bar, because. I had to leave a deposit, but there was no cash left. True, we asked for one large bed and they gave us a room for people with disabilities. The first time I stayed in such rooms - the difference is additional handles in the toilet. A huge plus is the location next to the backup elevator. Standard room is not big (Hong Kong nuances) - but has everything you need (hairdryer, kettle, adapters, etc. ), safe. A little surprised that the Internet for extra money 20-30 dollars. And this is in China! The rooms are clean, they left a tip of 10 dollars.
The advantages of the hotel are that there is a tram nearby (15 meters), for 2.4 dollars per person you are lucky in G. There are a lot of cafes and restaurants nearby (quite a lot after 4 tram stops).
For three days we walked along the G, the first day we drove in a circle on the tram (by the way, when the tram returns to the circle, it’s not a fact that it will go the same route - it may be different). Trams are easy to identify - they have a sign with the final stop on top) and buses are the same way.
Yes. they didn’t take breakfast at the hotel and didn’t eat there at all - because. there are many restaurants and cafes around. By the way, G is a night city - and mostly cafes and restaurants start working from 10 am, and not from 7-8 as in China.
The second day we reached the pier by taxi ($60), you can also walk from the tram or bus. There is a ferry to the island part of G - the price is ridiculous $ 2 one way. By the way, the tokens are given by the machine and you can shove paper money into it - it will give change.
We walked along the new part of G and back in the evening. A pretty safe city.
The third day we took a tram and reached the pier - they sell excursions to BIGBAS (a red 2nd floor bus without a roof). You can choose excursions - we took a sightseeing tour of the city with a visit to Victoria Peak, it cost 300 dollars. By the way, the bus goes with stops - you can go out and take the next same bus (they run once an hour). Excursions tells the machine, there is a choice of Russian.
Yes, in the evening we ate at the Russian-Ukrainian restaurant "Ivan Kozak". the impressions are ambivalent - the interior is chic, the service is long, the cutlets were brought and they turned out to be sour, the kebab was overcooked, the vodka was warm (ice separately), the cooks were like Russians or Ukrainians - no one came up and asked how the food was. in general paid 5000 rubles were not satisfied.
On the fourth day, the rooms were handed over, and I doubted whether it was necessary to order a taxi in advance or not? We decided not to order - just left the hotel and left after 5 minutes. In G, all the staff speaks English, even taxi drivers understand you. Well, that's actually all who need details - I will answer.
