Grand
Mercure Oriental Ginza was the hotel we chose for our stay at Shenzhen. It is
located directly in front of MTR Zhu Zi Lin station (Lao Bao/green line), a
direct line that we took from Shenzhen entry gate (Lou Hu). The location itself
is pretty strategic, with street market at the back (with lots of hawker), supermarket and KFC nearby (yes…no more
chicken rice for the whole day). It only takes 2 to 3stops to reach the local
attractions such as Happy
Valley

The hotel was
nice and big, compared to other Accor hotels @HK. The breakfast buffet menu
offered various options to choose. It has indoor heated pool which I didn’t
enjoy much (it’s indoor and basically offers no view, not to mention that we
HAD to put on a silly-borrowed-swimming-cap). The room was clean and big, with
adequate space for my girls to run and play. We even got a pretty nice river
view from the room. It was well equipped and made us feel like at home (so
comfy that we did all of our laundry there, by hand + hairdryer + ironing he he
he).

The
problem we encountered here mostly due to our inability to speak mandarin
(there was only few staffs who can speak a little bit of English). Despite the
language barrier, the hotel staffs were all friendly and the concierge was
trying his best to assist us during our stay, from providing me a bug repellent
(geezzz…the mosquito here must be some sort of mutation) and up to be my
translator. I am really grateful for him, who helped me translating some
English into mandarin writing. This small effort made me a loyal fan of Accor.
