Hidden Gem in Changsha: Huaxin Hotel Offers Five-Star Experience at Affordable Prices

This time, I visited Changsha for a business trip and initially had low expectations for the old city hotel, Huaxin. However, it completely overturned my impression! Tucked away on Furong Middle Road, this classic hotel holds delightful surprises. **Prime Location**: Just a 5-minute walk to Wuyi Square, with a metro station around the corner. A nighttime stroll lets you soak in the vibrant nightlife of Changsha. While the lobby isn’t luxurious, its cleanliness and pleasant fragrance create a rare sense of comfort. The front desk staff were proactive in helping plan my itinerary and even recommended some hidden local eateries. **Rooms Beyond Expectations**: I chose a high-floor room with a window view overlooking the city’s nightscape. The bed, though standard-sized, was exceptionally soft, and the air conditioning was almost silent. The most impressive feature was the bathroom—stocked with high-end Lux toiletries and complimentary freshly brewed coffee packs. Breakfast was simple but consistently good, featuring freshly cooked Hunan rice noodles with adjustable spice levels. Even the takeaway lunch boxes were beautifully presented. An unexpected discovery was the free rooftop tea lounge. At night, you can enjoy a cup of tea while overlooking the city lights. If you’re on a budget but want to experience the convenience of Changsha life, Huaxin Hotel is undoubtedly a hidden gem and a smart choice!
