First Impressions & The Accessibility Gauntlet (Mostly Navigated!)
Okay, so the first thing you notice is… well, it's a lot of steps getting in. This is where Accessibility starts to become an issue, or rather, the lack thereof. While the front desk staff were incredibly helpful (more on that later), navigating the initial entrance was a bit of a climb. I noticed no obvious Wheelchair accessible ramps, which is a real bummer. Inside, the Elevator does work and is thankfully spacious enough for wheelchair users. They seemed to have made an effort in some areas but fell short in others. So, a mixed bag accessibility-wise.
Rooms: Clean, Functional, and… Did I Mention the Wi-Fi?
Let's be honest, the rooms are what you expect from a Hanting – clean, efficient, and surprisingly comfortable. The Non-smoking rooms are actually non-smoking (praise be!). The Air conditioning blasted wonderfully, which was a lifesaver considering the Zhengzhou heat. Kudos for Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!, which was actually reliable. Praise the internet gods! I mean, I really wanted that Internet [LAN], some old-school wired connections just feel more secure. sigh. But hey, the Internet access – wireless held up. They also offer Free bottled water, which is a small touch that makes a big difference. I was thrilled to have a Refrigerator because I love late night snacks. The Desk, the Laptop workspace – all functional and did its job. The Alarm clock was loud enough and annoying enough to pull me out of those jet lag sleeps. A Bathrobes and Slippers… well, its the little things right? They also offer Safety/security feature, something I appreciate.
The "Shocking Secret" (It's Not THAT Shocking, Really)
Okay, the big secret. Are you ready? It’s… the slightly uneven quality, and how it can change your stay depending on the room. My first room… ugh. The soundproofing let in some of the street noise, and the window that opens was more of a suggestion than a reality. The bathroom phone didn't work, which, honestly, who even uses bathroom phones anymore? But after a quick complaint, I was moved to a different room, which was surprisingly quieter. It was just a bit… meh. Not terrible, just… not amazing.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: A Culinary Adventure (Mostly Safe)
Okay, let’s talk about the food. Restaurants are available, with a Asian breakfast setup. They had a Breakfast [buffet] and a Breakfast service in the restaurant, but it was… standard. Not bad, not amazing. They also had Coffee/tea in restaurant. I'm not a big fan of Vegetarian restaurant options, this is really not my jam. I loved having Bottle of water in the room. I did get to check out the Coffee shop and even ordered Desserts in restaurant.
Cleanliness and Safety: Feeling Safe (Mostly!)
Hanting Premium, to their credit, seems genuinely invested in hygiene. They go above and beyond. Rooms sanitized between stays, are available and the Daily disinfection in common areas made me feel better. The Hand sanitizer was plentiful and readily available. I also love the Anti-viral cleaning products because, well, I am a dirty germaphobe. The staff is clearly trained in Safety protocol. All the necessary precautions are taken.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: Spa Dreams Dashed (Mostly)
Here’s where things got a little… underwhelming. The website boasted a Spa, Spa/sauna, Sauna, and Massage. Well, the spa was a series of treatment rooms, the sauna was, well, a sauna and the massage was a little… rough, to be honest. I tried, but wasn't feeling it. The Fitness center looked a bit deserted. I didn’t even bother. There was also a Pool with view, and a Swimming pool [outdoor]. I couldn't find any Body scrub options. So if you're looking for a relaxing spa experience, maybe temper your expectations.

Services and Conveniences: Helpful, but Not Exceptional
The Front desk [24-hour] was a lifesaver. Always available and incredibly helpful, even though their English was limited. The Concierge was also friendly and tried his best. The Luggage storage was convenient, but hey – welcome to Asia. I also really appreciate the Daily housekeeping. The Dry cleaning service was also great.
Getting Around: Airport Transfer - A Lifesaver
The Airport transfer was a must and well-organized. Car park [free of charge] that wasn't actually free, or at least, not obvious.
For the Kids: Limited, But Functional
I don't have kids, but I did see some… a small Kids meal option. But this is probably not ideal for those traveling with children.
The Verdict: Is Hanting Premium Zhengzhou Worth It?
Okay, so here’s the bottom line. Hanting Premium in Zhengzhou isn't perfect. It has its flaws – the accessibility issues, the slightly uneven quality, the not-so-amazing spa (though, let’s be honest, I wasn’t expecting a Four Seasons).
But.
For the price, it's a decent option. The rooms are clean, the Wi-Fi is good, the staff are friendly (even if the language barrier can be a challenge), and the location is generally convenient for getting around. It’s a perfectly acceptable place to lay your head after a long day of temple-hopping.
So, my final advice? If you’re on a budget and just need a clean, comfortable place to crash while exploring Zhengzhou, Hanting Premium is a perfectly acceptable option. Just don’t expect the world. And be prepared to… maybe… walk up a few steps. The “SHOCKING Secret?” It's a reliable mid-tier hotel. That's it. And sometimes, that's enough.

Alright, alright, buckle up buttercups! You're about to get a raw, unfiltered, slightly-chaotic peek into my planned adventure in Zhengzhou, specifically bunking down at the Hanting Premium Hotel Zhengzhou East Railway Station Xinyi Road. Yeah, that mouthful. Prepare for some zig-zagging, some over-enthusiasm (and likely some grumbling), and the utter joy of a trip NOT being perfectly planned.
The Great Zhengzhou Experiment: A Hanting Hotel Hangout (and Possibly Eating a Lot of Noodles)
Day 1: The Arrival – Jet Lag & Jitters
Morning (or whenever the heck the flight lands – let's be honest, probably dawn): Land in Zhengzhou. My brain is already mushy from the time change. I hope the "East Railway Station" isn't as east as it sounds, because I'm pretty sure I’ll need a nap before unpacking, or perhaps ever even showering, and if that's a problem, well, its life eh? Find the airport transport (pray it's not a bus, because ugh), and navigate to the hotel. My biggest fear? Getting lost. Followed closely by the language barrier. Google Translate, I’m counting on you!
Afternoon: Check into the Hanting. Hopefully, it’s as clean and comfy as the pictures suggest. (Fingers crossed! Hotel rooms can be such a gamble.) First mission: assess the bed. Is it cloud-like, or a plank of wood? This could make or break the next 24 hours. Then, unpack (or, you know, just throw stuff on the floor) and attempt to become fully functional. Maybe eat something… anything.
Evening: The actual adventure begins, maybe. I’m thinking a stroll around the area, just to get my bearings. Spotting any street food is a MUST. My inner foodie is screaming! Dim sum? Noodles? All the things? (I'm also pretty sure I’ll completely botch ordering the first few times.) Emotional reaction: sheer, unadulterated excitement and a healthy dose of “am I actually doing this?”
- Anecdote: Last time I tried to order street food in a country where I didn't speak the language, I ended up with… well, it's a mystery. Let's just say it involved a lot of spicy something-or-other. I'm anticipating a repeat performance.
Night: Sleep. Hopefully. Pray for the best sleep possible. Jet lag is a cruel mistress.
Day 2: Temple Time and Noodle Nirvana (probably)
Morning: Today, I’m determined to be a cultured individual. First stop: a temple. Any recommendations would be great. (Anyone know which ones are easily accessible and visually stunning?) Strolling through temples is always super interesting. Feeling good or bad could fluctuate based on finding a temple, or maybe getting lost.
Afternoon: Noodle hunting! I'm on a relentless quest for the best noodles in Zhengzhou. Maybe I'll find the ultimate noodle experience. This is the ultimate noodle craving. Going to find THE BEST NOODLE PLACE. I'll be sure to take pictures.
Evening: More noodle exploration. Perhaps a cooking class, if I'm feeling ambitious (and not completely exhausted). Or just eating more noodles in yet another restaurant. I'm okay with that too.
Quirky observation: I'm already picturing myself, chopsticks clumsily wielding noodles while battling the language barrier. It's going to be a beautiful, messy, noodle-filled disaster.
Night: Collapse. Maybe watch some dodgy Chinese TV. It's all part of the experience, right?
Day 3: The Museum, The Market – and a Possible Tourist Trap?
Morning: Time to embrace some history! A museum is on the agenda, maybe a local museum – if I can find a good one. I'm a sucker for learning about a place's past.
Afternoon: A market! (Let me tell you, how much I love, love markets. All the colors, smells, and the thrill of haggling – I’m practically giddy.) I'm hoping to find some cool souvenirs.
- Impression: This part of the itinerary is a bit…unclear. Will I get scammed? Will I get lost? Will I buy way too many trinkets? Stay tuned!
Evening: Perhaps, something unique at a local restaurant. I am going to have so much fun! Or maybe some entertainment.
Emotional Reaction: Maybe a little sad that it's ending… but, I'm excited for the next adventure!
Day 4: Departure – Until Next Time!
Morning: Pack (ugh, the worst), grab a final breakfast (noodles, naturally), and head back to the airport.
- Imperfection: Probably will be rushing around at the last minute, frantically searching for my passport.
Afternoon: Hope for a smooth flight home. Reflect on all the amazing (and possibly slightly embarrassing) moments. Already dreaming about where to go next.
Messier Structure: Did I actually follow this plan? Probably not. Will I have a fantastic time? Absolutely. This travel itinerary is more of a suggestion. I'll adapt, I'll improvise, and I'll probably make a few mistakes. But that's half the fun, right?
So there you have it. My Zhengzhou adventure. Wish me luck, and prepare for the stories!

Zhengzhou's Hanting Premium: The BEST Hotel? (Or Am I Just Delusional?) - And the SHOCKING Secret! – My Honest Chaotic Ramblings
Okay, seriously… is Hanting Premium in Zhenzhou actually… good? Like, actually worth all the hype (and the cryptic "Premium" in the name)?
Alright, let's be real. Finding a decent hotel in Zhengzhou can feel like searching for a decent cup of coffee in a desert. I’ve been through some *stuff*, let me tell you. Dingy rooms, questionable smells, the works. So when I heard whispers about Hanting Premium, I was intrigued. The pictures online looked… well, *premium*. Now, "premium" can be a loaded word, right? Sometimes it just means "slightly less terrible."
But here's the thing… I actually *liked* it. I mean, I *really* liked it, and that's saying something. The lobby? Clean, bright, with an actual human being at the desk who didn't look like they'd rather be anywhere else. The rooms? Surprisingly spacious, and the air conditioning actually worked! (A major victory in Zhengzhou summers). The bed? Comfortable enough that I didn't wake up feeling like I'd been tangoing with a concrete block all night.
However, and this is important, I'm also prone to being easily pleased after a certain *kind* of day. You know, the kind when you're desperate for a long shower and an uninterrupted Netflix binge. So… yeah, it's good. Maybe even great, depending on your definition of "great" and the state of your travel-weary soul.
What's this "shocking secret" everyone keeps hinting at? Don't leave me hanging!
Alright, alright, settle down, you impatient little travel detectives! The "shocking secret" is... well, it's not *that* shocking, honestly. At least, not when compared to some of the hotel experiences I've had. It's more of a… pleasant surprise. The secret is… the location! Hanting Premium in Zhengzhou is usually located in a very convenient location. However the location does vary from each Hanting Premium, so be sure to confirm.
Okay, so, location isn’t exactly a ‘secret,’ but it's significant for me. For example, I stayed at one near the Zhengzhou East Railway Station. This was *life-changing*. Getting to and from the station was a breeze. No more dragging my suitcase across a city in the sweltering heat! It also meant tons of food nearby (essential!), and easy access to transport to other places. Okay, so maybe ‘shocking’ is a bit dramatic. But the convenience? Absolutely delicious.
Okay, so it’s convenient and… clean-ish? Anything else? What about the food? Because let's be honest, hotel food can be a gamble.
The food situation is… complicated. Hanting Premium, being a budget-friendlyish hotel, doesn't exactly have a Michelin-starred chef whipping up culinary masterpieces. They usually offer the basic hotel breakfast buffet, and it's… functional. Think: instant noodles, not-quite-fresh fruit, and a vaguely egg-shaped substance that might or might not be an omelet. Honestly, it works. But I wouldn’t write home about it. I tend to venture out for the food around the hotel. There are lots of interesting things to explore, which I think is better than relying on the hotel.
But here's where the location's magic comes in again! If you're lucky enough to stay in a good area (check the reviews!), you’ll be surrounded by food stalls and small restaurants. I'm talking noodles that'll blow your mind, dumplings you’ll dream about, and things you can point at and hope for the best. That part of Zhengzhou is pure heaven, and it's a massive advantage for Hanting.
Let's talk about the staff. Are they robot-like, or, you know, actual people?
Okay, this is another area where Hanting Premium shines. The staff, generally, is super helpful. They speak enough English to get by (even if my Mandarin is… let’s just say, "developing"). They're usually friendly, which is a huge plus. You know, the hotel staff that looks like they’re actively trying to hate their job? I didn’t see one here. They seemed genuinely eager to try and help with whatever you needed. This is a genuine highlight. Really. After some of the hotel experiences I've had, friendly faces are a major win.
One time I locked myself out of my room. Total brain malfunction. I was standing there, sweating, and picturing myself sleeping on the hallway floor. But the staff handled it quickly. They didn't judge my idiocy (at least not to my face!). They fixed the problem, and were surprisingly understanding. That's worth a lot, trust me.
What about the downsides? Because no hotel is perfect. Spill the tea!
Alright, alright, I’m not completely blinded by the clean sheets and functioning AC. There are a few… *minor* gripes. Firstly, the rooms themselves can be a little, well, beige. A little… generic. Think “comfortably functional” over “luxury oasis.” But hey, I'm not expecting a palace for the price. The decor is nothing to write home about, but it's not actively offensive. They tend to feel a bit cookie-cutter. But honestly, after a long day of exploring, I just want a clean place to crash, and it delivers on that promise.
Secondly, depending on the location, you might get some street noise. Zhengzhou can be a lively city, and the soundproofing isn’t always the best. Bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper. I also remember one time when I booked the room, and I needed to add another night. The room wasn't available. Small things, like that, which happen here and there.
So, final verdict? Would you recommend Hanting Premium in Zhengzhou? GIVE ME THE STRAIGHT FACTS!
Okay, here's the bottom line. For the price, Hanting Premium is *damn* good. It's not perfect. It's not the Four Seasons. But it's clean, convenient, and the staff are genuinely helpful. If you need a reliable, affordable, and relatively pleasant place to stay in Zhengzhou, Hanting Premium is a solid choice.
My personal "shocking secret"? I'd stay there again. In fact, I already have. And honestly, after some of the hotel *adventures* I’ve had, that’s saying a lot. Go for it. Just do your research on the specific location, and pack your earplugs, just in case.
