Have been a loyal customer for 8 years to stay in Mei Hotel which offers many benefits to their customers. Recently, there are another 2 benefits added : a) a water filter installed in each room. b) Free Laundry service ( washing and drying )installed on the 15th floor. It's very convenient for those who wish to stay for a longer period. I will certainly come back again.

At Mei Hotel, the beautiful orchids in the lobby, the impressive purple crystal tree, and the relaxing scent create a very pleasant atmosphere. And near hotel have many food to eat and have good location can go everywhere. The room was comfortable, and the bed was not too soft — the firmness was just right. From the window, I could enjoy the seaside view. Thank you to the hotel for taking such good care of me throughout my stay. It felt just like home. Thank you for everything.
