Kempinski Hotel Taiyuan

The bathroom has a glass wall that can easily be looked into from the bedroom. It's like a shutter/blinds that don't block the edges of the glass wall. The spa/pool is absolutely massive. You do have a secondary elevator to get you to the pool, which took us some time to find and surprised the attendant didn't tell us to take it even after we mentioned swimming caps which are preferred but not required. All things like combs, bags, toothbrushes are all stocked inside the room already and don't require you to call down. Breakfast is included but pretty lackluster. There is a grocery store next to this here, underground.

Hotel is beautiful, don’t get me wrong, but the room smelled like sewage all night. Couldn’t sleep very well.

Don't understand where other reviewers' 5stars came from. This hotel sucked! Upon arrival no billboy service, which I don't care much but the reception ladies took a look at my face and continued their conversation until I told them I need to check in. Lobby is old and badly designed. Room was ok I would say it's more like a 3.5 star hotel. Breakfast were also sucked, no waitress to guide your seat and people end up sat where I was when I went out to grab my food. People also looked confused where to seat. Shower water turned boiling hot all at sudden for a few seconds many times when I took my 15mins shower, I burned my back! I will never stay here again!
