Shaolin International Hotel

Henan


Popular with visiting Chinese, this self-proclaimed four-star hotel feels overpriced for what you get; little English is spoken and nonsmoking rooms can't be guaranteed. At least the rooms are spacious and beds are soft. A taxi from the main bus station will cost ¥7. Discounts of more than 50% become available with some polite negotiation.
