Boutique Hotels in Tianjin, China

"The room faces the Haihe River directly, and there's a light show at night. The view is incredibly beautiful and stunning, truly refreshing and chill! A big shout-out to our butler, Vivian, who was very thoughtful and accommodating to all our requests, adding so much warmth and comfort to our trip. She really worked hard! The breakfast was very rich, and the Jianbing Guozi (Chinese crepe) was authentic and delicious. The cleaning staff were also very enthusiastic. In the evening, there was a champagne sabering event, which was festive and ceremonial at the same time. Everything was wonderful and worthwhile!"

"A 15-minute walk to the aquarium, 1.3 km to the high-speed train station, and 3 km to the pedestrian street and Wanda Plaza. It's simple and comfortable with a great price, located right by the Haihe River, which is overall nice. The twin room has good lighting, and the view from the 28th floor window is bright. The room amenities are complete."

"The room is exceptionally spacious, and the bathroom is huge with three sinks. The Ferris wheel is right outside the window. Unfortunately, the windows are sealed and the door is locked, so I couldn't access the balcony. I couldn't even extend my phone outside the window. I've never encountered this situation before with rooms that have balconies; they've always been accessible. It's very strange. The window glass wasn't clean either, so taking photos of the Ferris wheel through it resulted in reflections, which was quite awkward. It felt like booking the Ferris wheel view room was pointless. I've booked many view rooms before, and the balconies were always accessible."

"The hotel is a bit old, but well-maintained. The staff are all very enthusiastic; as soon as we arrived, the butler brought a lot of fruit, and there were also free drinks and fruit in the lobby. The hotel's location is excellent, making it convenient to go anywhere. It's only a 20-minute walk to the Tianjin Eye. For boat tickets and Tianjin Eye tickets during holidays, you need to keep refreshing as they will eventually become available. This time, our child had some papers to print, and a friendly, round-faced young man wearing a hat in the hotel lobby very kindly helped us print them for free. We are very grateful for his help."

"Revisiting Tianjin after 10 years, I chose the Four Points by Sheraton Tianjin Jiefang Bridge this time. The hotel's decor and design perfectly complement the century-old building, offering a sense of enduring freshness. The welcoming experience upon entering the hotel was a huge plus. Martin, the GRO on duty in the lobby, was professional and gracious. His service was impeccable; he helped settle my luggage, showed me to my room, and explained the facilities, making me feel very comfortable. The guest rooms were spotlessly clean, and daily supplies were replenished promptly. The chef making breakfast on-site was very enthusiastic and proactive. The front desk staff were also very patient with all my tourist inquiries and answered clearly. The hotel's location is excellent; Jiefang Bridge is just to the left, and The Paragon (Tianhe City) is to the right. In front, you have Jinwan Square and the beautiful Jiefang North Road. I immediately recommended it to my friends – it's definitely worth staying here! P.S.: Thanks to technology, the architecture can truly shine on its own 🥹"

"The hotel's location is super convenient. If you're flying in, you can take the subway directly to the hotel. It's also pretty easy to get to Xibeijiao for breakfast in the morning. The room, however, is a bit old-fashioned, and the bathroom has a very strong disinfectant smell. But it's quite spacious, and overall it's decent, except for the breakfast, which wasn't great."

"First stop for Mid-Autumn Festival: Tianjin! I was torn between my top three hotel choices for a long time, but ultimately decided on the classic Shangri-La, and it didn't disappoint! I'd seen a lot of negative reviews online about things like room odors and faulty hairdryers, so I communicated with the hotel beforehand, especially since I was staying for four nights, which is quite a while. Room Facilities: They're alright. There's a video you can watch – I'm not sure if this particular item was broken or just designed poorly, but it was inconvenient to use with the outlets. Oh, and the soundproofing is really bad – extremely bad. Plus, every room door closes with a heavy thud. Bed: It's okay, suits my preference. Breakfast: I have to complain about the breakfast on the 1st floor. Honestly, there's nothing good to eat, and it's not tasty. I even watched them make the mini wontons – a young girl was handling it, and with so many people, she seemed overwhelmed. The wontons were cold in the bowl, and when someone wanted them, they'd just be briefly dipped in hot water before serving. The taste was really not good. And the buns were dry and unappetizing. The Jianbing Guozi (savory crepe) was unbelievably salty. The juices weren't freshly squeezed. So, if the 1st-floor breakfast was like that, I had no confidence in the buffet there and promptly gave up. After that, we always went to the 32nd floor for breakfast, which was semi-buffet and decent. However, in terms of food, I feel that the Shangri-La in Tianjin is a bit lacking. The evening happy hour was also similar – replenishment of food was very slow. Room View: You can see the Haihe River, which is alright. Swimming Pool: It's still quite large and very clean. Service: Overall, it was still very good. Hygiene: You can't look too closely, but generally, it's okay. Restaurants: When traveling, I usually eat local cuisine outside. There's a decent 'Xiao Hong Fang' behind the hotel. The Summer Palace in Shanghai is quite good, so the Shang Palace here probably wouldn't be too bad either. Friendly Tip: Just a heads-up about room prices – they tend to drop in the last few days before your stay. So, keep checking frequently, or you might end up paying more than you have to!"

"I was so pleasantly surprised by this hotel on my trip to Tianjin! I thought a new hotel might have a strange smell, but the room had absolutely no odor. The breakfast was delicious, and there are many attractions nearby. The local Tianjin cuisine is really good. I'd recommend it to all my friends!"

"This hotel has its clear pros and cons. Pros: The location is excellent. It's right next to Hisense Plaza, within walking distance to Wudadao (Five Avenues) and Xiaobailou, and very close to Xuzhou Road and Xiaobailou subway stations. Transportation couldn't be more convenient. The two-bedroom apartment I stayed in was very spacious, and the facilities were relatively new. There were two pillows, one soft and one firm, and the firm one was very comfortable. The bed was also on the firmer side and very comfortable. The window view was unbeatable. During the day, you get panoramic views of Wudadao, and at night, you can enjoy the illuminated city lights. The front desk staff were nice and tried their best to fulfill requests. Cons: The biggest issue is that out of the two bedrooms, only the master bedroom has a shower. This means if four people are staying, they have to take turns. It's fine for families with children, but inconvenient for older guests or friends staying together. The room came with four pairs of slippers but only two bath towels. When asked, I was told this was standard. You also can't request four towels for subsequent days; you have to ask the front desk for extra towels every day. (I'm not sure what the reasoning behind this is?) It was noisy. Being on a high floor, the wind made a huge amount of noise all night, so earplugs are essential. Soundproofing for the hallway and even the ceiling was poor. Heating and air conditioning are centrally controlled. There was no heating in October, so during the National Day holiday, when the temperature dropped, I woke up in the middle of the night freezing. It was very, very cold... However, during the holiday period, compared to the prices of five-star hotels, this place feels more like a serviced apartment. Given the spacious and comfortable rooms, it offers excellent value for money. So, people can consider their actual needs, knowing its pros and cons."

"This was our first stay as a family, and overall, it was a 100% positive experience. The location is absolutely top-tier. It's incredibly close to the Ferris wheel entrance and the Haihe Yongle Pier. We could easily stroll along the river with our 4-year-old and get there in just a few minutes. We booked a river view room, and the scenery outside the window was stunning and unbeatable. Waking up, opening the curtains, and sitting by the bed gazing at the Haihe River truly set a relaxing vacation mood. Upon check-in, the front desk friendly warned us that it might be a bit noisy in the evening due to the National Day holiday crowds along the river. However, in reality, once the windows were closed, both the elderly and the child slept soundly with no noise disturbance. They provided a children's toothbrush for the kids. The bedding was clean, the showerhead had strong and consistent water flow, and the room was equipped with a smart toilet and a Dyson hairdryer. Breakfast offered a rich variety of options, suitable for children. The overall service was warm, appropriate, and very accommodating. Suggestion: The sink is a bit high for children. Providing a child's step stool would make it easier for them to wash up."
