Shenfeng Hotel

Shenfeng Hotel is a mid-range hotel at No. 69 Shenqi Road in the Yunyan District of Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou Province in southwest China. Yunyan is one of the city's central districts, and the hotel's location in the city centre makes it a convenient base for visitors who want to reach the main sights, shopping streets and restaurants by short taxi rides or on foot. Qianling Park, the Penshuichi area and the downtown shopping district are all within an easy trip, and the metro and bus network provide inexpensive connections across the city.

The hotel has 260 rooms, which makes it a fairly large property for the area. Rooms are offered in Standard and Twin layouts and include Wi-Fi and air conditioning. The style is functional and practical rather than luxurious, and the pricing reflects that, with typical rates of about CNY 250-400 (roughly $35-56) per night. The size of the hotel makes it suitable for tour groups, families and independent travellers, and rooms are generally easier to find here than at smaller guesthouses during busy periods.

A breakfast buffet is the main dining feature and is a convenient way to start a day of sightseeing, usually mixing Chinese items such as congee, noodles, steamed buns and pickles with simple Western options. For other meals, the surrounding streets of Yunyan have restaurants serving Guizhou specialities such as sour fish soup, spicy chicken and rice noodles, and guests can ask at the front desk for suggestions. No pool, spa or fitness centre is listed.

The service character is basic and practical, geared mainly to domestic guests, so English may be limited and having addresses written in Chinese is useful. The hotel can be contacted on +86 851 556 8888. It suits travellers on a budget who want a central, clean room and a breakfast buffet at a modest price, and who plan to spend their time exploring the city and nearby attractions elsewhere in Guizhou, such as waterfalls, karst landscapes and minority villages, rather than relaxing at the hotel.
