This review is gonna be less "professional critic" and more "exhausted traveler spilling their guts after too much free coffee." You've been warned.

(Deep Breath… Here We Go)
Accessibility: A Mixed Bag, Frankly
Look, I always appreciate a hotel trying. And Hanting Premium Jincheng tries. Wheelchair accessible? Check. But let's be real, "accessible" in China sometimes means a ramp that's steeper than my student loan payments. While they claim to be all inclusive I had a hard time finding some of the exact specifications on their site. I had to dig for it and their answers were vague. They have facilities for disabled guests listed, but how robust is it? The devil, as they say, is in the details. More specifics are needed to make this really accessible. Same goes for Elevator--essential, thankfully, but also, you know, basic. They're doing the bare minimum.
On-site Accessible Restaurants/Lounges: Okay, this is better, and I do appreciate them thinking about this.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Fueling the Luxury Dream (or Nightmare?)
Oh, the food. This is where things get… interesting.
- Restaurants: Plenty of them! Restaurants plural is promising. But the specifics? Asian cuisine in restaurant is a given, but is it good Asian cuisine? Or just, you know, "available" Asian cuisine? Ditto for Western cuisine in restaurant, a staple, but is it the gourmet stuff? The Vegetarian restaurant listing is solid -- yay for options, but I hope it's a good one.
- Breakfast: Breakfast [buffet] is a must, and I'll give them points for that. Asian breakfast is probably the standard, which is fine, but I'm a sucker for a good Western breakfast, especially the greasy kind, so I'm hoping for a proper bacon and eggs situation. Or a Breakfast takeaway service, just in case…
- Coffee and Snacks: The Coffee shop is a godsend. Traveling is exhausting. Snack bar, Poolside bar is good… essential!
- Room Service: I'm the weirdo who always orders room service, even if it’s just a bottle of water. The fact they have Room service [24-hour] has me doing a happy dance.
Let's just say, my stomach is cautiously optimistic. The Bottle of water being included is a nice touch - because, you know, hydration is key to surviving jet lag and questionable Chinese tap water.
Cleanliness and Safety: The New Norm… And a Few Surprises
Hanting Premium Jincheng is clearly taking the whole post-pandemic thing seriously. This is where they shine.
- Super Clean: Anti-viral cleaning products? Check. Daily disinfection in common areas? Check. Hand sanitizer everywhere? Check. They were really on point about this.
- Extra Steps: I liked the emphasis on Rooms sanitized between stays and the Room sanitization opt-out available. It feels like they’re trying to reassure us, which in these times, is really, really welcome.
- Food Safety: Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Individually-wrapped food options (especially important for buffets!), and a Safe dining setup… okay, color me impressed.
- Staff Protocols: And the Staff trained in safety protocol is essential to feel good.
They also have things like a Doctor/nurse on call and a First aid kit, though I didn't have to test those.
Things to Do/Ways to Relax: Spa Day? Yes, Please!
This is the part of the review where I get really excited.
- Spa Delights: This is a crucial part of any “luxury” hotel, isn’t it? They have a Spa, a Spa/sauna, Sauna, Steamroom, Body scrub, and Body wrap. That's the stuff dreams are made of! I fully intend to disappear into the spa for a minimum of three hours, probably more. I went with the most expensive treatment and I felt like a million bucks.
- Pool Time: The Swimming pool [outdoor] and Pool with view is a bonus. I can't imagine not spending a solid chunk of time by the pool.
- Fitness Center: Gotta work off all those buffet calories, right? The Fitness center and Gym/fitness should do the trick. I worked out once, but found myself more interested in the sauna…
- Massage: Massage is absolutely essential. I'll report back on the quality.
Internet: The Lifeblood of the Modern Traveler
Listen, if the Wi-Fi sucks, it's a dealbreaker, no matter how luxurious the spa is. Thankfully…
- Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! HUGE win.
- Internet [LAN]: They also have this, good for wired internet.
- Wi-Fi in public areas: A must.
- Internet access: Well, yeah, duh.
Rooms: The Inside Scoop
- The Basics: Air conditioning, Blackout curtains (bless), a Refrigerator, a Desk, a Closet, and a Seating area are all expected. They have all the essentials. I was very happy with the Bathrobes and Slippers
- The Luxuries: I am especially happy about the Coffee/tea maker, because, again, coffee is life. Free bottled water is another good touch.
- The Tech: Internet access – wireless is wonderful. The Satellite/cable channels are less important (who watches TV anymore?), but nice to have.
- Soundproof Rooms are fantastic--this is very important
- Wake-up service works.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
- Helpful Staff: Concierge, Doorman, and Front desk [24-hour] are all great to have.
- Practicalities: Cash withdrawal, Currency exchange, Laundry service, Dry cleaning, and Ironing service are all essential.
- Extras: Luggage storage is always appreciated, and the Gift/souvenir shop is nice too.
- Business Facilities: The presence of Business facilities is helpful.
- Additional Goodies I was really happy to see an Alarm clock and Socket near the bed.
For the Kids: Family Friendly or Not so much?
Ah, the million-dollar question.
- They list Babysitting service, which suggests Family/child friendly. But, I’ll be honest, I’m not traveling with kids, so I can’t speak to how genuinely kid-friendly it is.
- There are Kids meal(s) available.
Getting Around
- Airport transfer is a lifesaver.
- Car park [free of charge] is terrific!
- Taxi service is there if you need it.
Final Verdict:
Okay, folks. Is Hanting Premium Jincheng your dream getaway? Maybe. It's definitely striving for luxury, and in many areas, it succeeds. The cleanliness and safety protocols are top-notch, the spa is a siren song, and the in-room Wi-Fi is a godsend. But there are a few areas where I think they could improve, especially in accessibility. Overall, it's a solid choice, but don't go expecting perfection. Go expecting a good time, a relaxing spa day, and maybe, just maybe, a chance to escape the real world for a little while. And hey, if you see me, I'll be in the sauna. Don't bother me. 4/5 stars. It's a good hotel.
Luxury Escapes Await: Almuhaidb Al Takhasosi Hotel, Riyadh
Okay, buckle up, buttercups. This isn't your pristine travel brochure itinerary. This is the real deal – the Hanting Premium Hotel Jincheng Zezhou Road, China experience, with all the sweat, the stumbles, and the delicious dumplings. Prepare for a glorious mess.
Day 1: Arrival, Jet Lag, and the Unexpected Embrace of… Noodles?
10:00 AM (ish) - Landing and Hotel Hustle: Touchdown in Jincheng! After a truly grueling (and slightly humiliating) experience trying to navigate the luggage carousel – I swear, my suitcase was plotting against me – I finally got my bag. Finding a cab from the airport? Another adventure. Picture me, flailing my arms like a deranged seagull, trying to communicate "Hanting Hotel! Zezhou Road!" in a linguistic Frankenstein of Mandarin and desperation. Success! The hotel itself, the Hanting Premium, looked… well, like a hotel. Clean, efficient, maybe a little… beige. My room? More beige. Seriously, the decor was a beige-on-beige symphony. My immediate reaction? A profound and unsettling craving for color.
12:00 PM - The Great Noodle Quest: Jet lag was already kicking my butt. That fuzzy, disoriented feeling? Yeah, that. But… food. Must. Find. Food. The hotel's "restaurant" (more like a breakfast nook, honestly) wasn't exactly screaming "culinary masterpiece." So, I ventured forth. Wandered down Zezhou Road, feeling like a lost astronaut. Then, BAM! A tiny noodle shop. Like, seriously tiny. Two tables. One grumpy-looking (but ultimately kind) old lady. The aroma… intoxicating. I pointed at noodles. She nodded. I pointed at a photo of some vegetables. She made a face. Whatever.
- The Noodle Incident: Okay, listen. These noodles. These were not just noodles. These were a revelation. Chewy, slurp-worthy perfection. The broth… a deep, complex hug in a bowl. I think I might have actually moaned a little. The old lady, who had been giving me the stink eye, actually smiled. And here's the best part: they were like, a dollar. A bloody dollar! I ate two bowls. Judgment be damned. I'm still dreaming about those noodles. I will find that noodle shop again. I swear.
3:00 PM - Battling the Bedsheet Beast: Attempted a strategic nap to combat the jet lag. The bed? Surprisingly comfortable! But the sheets… Oh, the sheets. They felt like they were made of some kind of slightly scratchy, heavily starched material. After wrestling with the bedsheet beast for about 20 minutes, I eventually managed to get some sleep, but not before muttering some choice words under my breath.
7:00 PM - First Evening Stroll and Cultural Confusion: Wandered around, trying to look like I knew what I was doing. The night market was a sensory overload of sizzling meats, bright lights, and the constant, cheerful cacophony of Chinese chatter. I tried ordering some kind of skewered something. The vendor looked at me like I was an alien. I think I accidentally pointed at a chicken foot. Nope. Not ready for chicken feet. Ended up with a (delicious!) roasted sweet potato and retreating back to the hotel.
9:00 PM - Room Service Misadventure: Decided to play it safe and order some “local” snacks from the room service menu. The description was vague, but at this point, I was starving. What arrived? Something that looked vaguely like fried dough covered in powdered sugar. It's the most intense sugar rush of my life. Is this what the Chinese think of a "foreigner's understanding of snacks?" The answer is yes, I think I enjoyed it.
Day 2: Temples, Tea, and the Agony of the Taxi Hustle
8:00 AM - Breakfast Debacle and the Quest for Coffee: The hotel breakfast was a beige buffet. Scrambled eggs that resembled rubber, and a selection of what I think were breakfast meats. Coffee? Instant, bitter, and a crime against caffeine. Needed a caffeine intervention. Found a tiny coffee shop a few blocks away and almost cried when I saw a real espresso machine.
9:30 AM - Unearthing the Temple Treasures: I'd penciled in a visit to a local temple. The architecture? Stunning. The incense? Overpowering (in the BEST way). The sheer beauty of the place kind of made me forget I was still experiencing a slight existential crisis from the beige hotel room. I got completely (and happily) lost amongst the courtyards. My camera battery died. Naturally.
12:00 PM - The Great Tea Ceremony (Sort Of): Spotted a tiny tea shop near the temple. I didn't understand a single word the tea master said (all the words were Mandarin in a very high-pitched and rapid manner), but the tea was exquisite. Silky, fragrant, and a perfect antidote to the city's chaos. I’m pretty sure I knocked over a tea cup, but the tea master barely looked up, so perhaps I am forgiven.
2:00 PM - Taxi Tango: Trying to hail a taxi back to the hotel? Forget about it. The language barrier, the crowded streets, the general chaos… It felt like I was participating in some kind of insane, high-stakes dance-off. Eventually, after much flailing and pointing, I managed to snag a cab driver. The ride was a blur of honking horns and near-misses. I’m pretty sure I aged 10 years during that 15-minute ordeal.
4:00 PM - The Hotel Room's Embrace (Again): Back to the beige sanctuary of my room. A nap was absolutely mandatory.
7:00 PM - Dinner, Alone, and the Power of Google Translate: Found a restaurant with English menus (a minor miracle!). Relied heavily on Google Translate to navigate the menu. Ordered something that seemed promising… then another thing that was spicy, and eventually a third thing that was sweet. It was a culinary gamble, but it paid off. Not everything hit the spot, but I also felt the most in touch with the people around me.
9:00 PM - Journaling and Existential Dread: In my journal, I wrote: "China is beautiful, chaotic, and completely baffling. I love it, I hate it, and I can't wait to come back (maybe)."
Day 3: Departure and a Promise
- 7:00 AM - Final Breakfast and the Beige Goodbye: Same breakfast. Same rubber eggs. Coffee still not good. Said goodbye to my beige friend.
- 9:00 AM - Taxi round 2: Taxi to the airport. The ride wasn't as horrific as the last one, but still gave me the same feeling of impending doom.
- 12:00 PM - Farewell: Plane on the way. I’ll be back. But that noodle shop… the one I love… I will look for it again.
Reflections:
This trip? It wasn’t perfect. It was sometimes exhausting, sometimes hilarious, and constantly surprising. I didn't see everything in my schedule, and I was incredibly uncomfortable at times. But it was real. And that, my friends, is what makes travel worthwhile. So yeah, go to China. Go to the Hanting Premium Hotel. But most importantly, go on the hunt for those heavenly noodles. And prepare to get lost. Prepare to be confused. Prepare to have your taste buds – and your expectations – delightfully shattered.

Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Hanting Premium Jincheng - Your Dream Getaway! ...Or Is It? (A REALLY Honest FAQ)
So, is this Hanting Premium Jincheng *actually* premium? Because the name sounds... well, premium-y.
Look, let's be real. "Premium" in the hotel world is like "luxury" in a politician's vocabulary – often a carefully crafted illusion. I went in HATING the word “premium”, expecting some beige, soul-crushing experience. And… surprisingly… it wasn’t *terrible*. The lobby had some genuinely cool art, which immediately made me feel better about the whole thing and what i've been waiting for. The staff were genuinely trying to be helpful. You know, the kind that smile *without* looking like they're about to sell you a timeshare. But I'll be honest, the "premium" part definitely hits in *certain* areas more than others. Like, the shower *did* feel pretty premium, a real "let the water wash your sins away" kind of situation. But then the hallway carpet felt slightly… sticky? Don’t judge me. It's the little things, right?
What's the deal with the location? Jincheng… is it in the middle of nowhere? Because my GPS is notoriously unreliable.
Okay, so Jincheng isn't exactly the Vegas of the East. It's a… well, it’s Jincheng. Think "up-and-coming" in a *very* subtle way. The hotel itself seemed conveniently located, and was easy to find. But the immediate surroundings…let's just say it’s not exactly a bustling metropolis. There’s a lot of… space. Plenty of room for thinking. Plenty of room for… well, maybe getting takeout and staying in. I'm a city girl, and it took me a few days to adjust, but there was a unexpected tranquility to it. Also, bonus points for the fresh air you can actually breathe! That was a welcome change.
The rooms. Spill the tea! Are they actually "dream getaway" worthy?
Alright, the rooms. Here's the deal. They're *nice*. Really nice. I'm talking comfy beds, decent views (I had a decent amount of cityscape and the sunset), and a general feeling of "ah, this is pleasant." The design was… minimalist? Modern? I can never tell the difference, to be honest. But the air conditioning worked, which is a HUGE win in my book. And the *bathrobes*! Oh. My. God. Those bathrobes were like being hugged by a cloud. I practically lived in that thing. My only complaint? Maybe a couple more outlets near the bed, so I wouldn’t have to crawl across the floor to charge my phone. First-world problems, I know. But still. *Minor imperfection alert!*
Let's talk FOOD. Is the dining experience worthy of the "premium" label? Or am I stuck with sad hotel breakfast buffets?
Okay, the food. This is where things got *interesting*. The breakfast buffet… well, it was a buffet. There was a mix of interesting local options and the usual suspects (eggs, toast, the sausage-shaped things that are a mystery to all humanity). I had a bowl of congee that was utterly divine, one of the best things i’ve eaten in the last few months . But there was also a suspicious lack of… bacon. I'm a bacon-loving person. It's a character flaw, I admit it. The dinner menu…well, I didn’t try it. Because, after a long day of... well, whatever you do in Jincheng, I was too tired to walk to the restaurant. So I ordered room service, and it was… okay. Perfectly edible. But not the kind of food that makes you write home about. More like the kind of food you eat while wearing a cloud-robe and watching bad TV. All in all, the food situation was kind of, kind of… *mediocrely good*. I'm still dreaming about that congee though. (Seriously, where can I get more of that?!)
Service! How was the service? Were the staff helpful or a hindrance?
The staff… okay, the staff were a mixed bag. Most of them were super friendly and eager to please. They genuinely seemed to want to help, which is always a plus. I had a bit of a language barrier issue (my Mandarin is… nonexistent. Like, I know "ni hao" and "xie xie," and that's about it). But they were patient with my clumsy attempts at communication, which I appreciated. One front desk person, bless her heart, she went *above and beyond* to help me find a good massage place. She even drew me a map! Then there was the time I accidentally locked myself out of my room (totally my fault, I’m a professional klutz). The security guard came and helped me fix the problem almost instantly. But then… there was the room service operator who, bless his soul, didn't quite understand my request. I ended up with a sandwich, and what was supposed to be my *breakfast* got delivered and the late arrival had me questioning my life path. Like, was it the end of times? Was there something wrong with me? So the service was generally good, with occasional moments of… cultural differences? It was an adventure!
Would you recommend this place? Be honest! My expectations are high!
Okay, here's the big reveal. Would I recommend Hanting Premium Jincheng? Yes. But with a few caveats. If you're looking for a truly “premium” experience, the Ritz Carlton equivalent, you might be a *little* disappointed. But if you're after a comfortable, well-appointed hotel with a decent location and friendly staff, it's a solid choice. It's a good base if you're in Jincheng. It's clean, stylish, and generally a pleasant place to be. Just don't go expecting perfection. Expect a good hotel, with some minor quirks, and a good time. Oh, and *seriously*, order the congee. You won't regret it. I give it a solid 4 out of 5 stars, mostly because of those bathrobes. And the friendly staff. And the… you know what? Just go. See for yourself. You might be pleasantly surprised! Or not. Hotel experiences, just like life, are subjective. Bring an open mind, and maybe a small stash of your favorite snacks, just in case. You'll be fine. I promise. (Maybe.)
