Luohe Asia Hotel (Renmin Road Changjian Plaza)

Luohe Asia Hotel (Renmin Road Changjian Plaza), known in Chinese as 漯河亚细亚大酒店(人民路昌建广场店), is the top-ranked upscale hotel on Ctrip's Luohe list. It stands at Changjian Plaza on Renmin Road in Yuanhui District, Luohe, in Henan province, China, near Luohe railway station; the street number is not listed in the available data. On Ctrip it scores 4.8 out of 5 from 1,214 reviews, the strongest result among the local hotels covered in this guide, and it is ranked number one in the city. In this guide it is classed as mid-range ($$) with standard rooms listed, which suggests a high level of guest satisfaction relative to the price. Specific amenities are not documented in the source data, so a restaurant, breakfast, parking, gym or meeting rooms should be confirmed with the hotel; upscale local hotels in China commonly provide a buffet breakfast, a Chinese restaurant serving Henan cuisine and business facilities, but this is typical rather than guaranteed. The Changjian Plaza setting puts shops and restaurants close by, and the railway station location suits travellers on conventional trains along the Beijing to Guangzhou corridor. The older attractions of the city, including the Heshang Street old-town area and the Shaliu River parks, are a short taxi or ride-hailing trip away. Luohe is known across China as a food-industry city and as the hometown of Xu Shen, the Han-dynasty scholar who compiled the Shuowen Jiezi. The hotel suits business travellers, families and visitors who want the best-reviewed local option near the station. Service is domestic in style, with efficient check-in but limited English, so a translation app is advisable.
