Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Hanting Premium Hotel, Putian Wanda Plaza!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because you're about to get the real lowdown on Unbelievable Luxury Awaits: Hanting Premium Hotel, Putian Wanda Plaza! Get ready, because this ain't your grandma's hotel review. This is me dissecting the place, warts and all.
First Impressions (and a Bit of a Panic)
So, Putian. Wanda Plaza. Hanting Premium. I was expecting… well, I was expecting something. The photos online, you know, are always airbrushed to within an inch of their lives. But, pulling up, it actually… looked pretty good. Sleek, modern lines. Big, imposing entrance. Okay, deep breath, here we go.
Accessibility (The Initial Hurdle)
Right off the bat, I'll address accessibility because it's important, duh. Wheelchair accessible? Yes! Elevator? Absolutely. That’s a huge win, especially since I tend to overpack. Facilities for disabled guests? I'm assuming. I didn't check every single possible aspect, like braille menus (though I didn’t ask), It seemed designed with accessibility in mind, which is a HUGE relief.
The Room: My Personal Fortress (and a Slight Disaster)
The room itself… well, let's just say it was vast. Seriously, I could've held a small concert in there. The air conditioning was a godsend (thank you, sweet baby Jesus!). Blackout curtains? Essential. I need to sleep, people. The extra-long bed was a dream. I swear, I never feel truly relaxed on a standard double bed, especially when I have my laptop, a book, a snack and a half-eaten packet of crisps with me.
Now, the bathroom. Whoa. Separate shower/bathtub, check. Complimentary toiletries, check. Bathrobes, check (major luxury points!). And… a bathroom phone. Seriously? Like, who are you calling from the bath? Maybe it’s for emergencies, or maybe it's just for the pure boujee factor of it all.
The Internet access – wireless was free and actually worked (unlike some hotels I’ve stayed in where the Wi-Fi seems to require a PhD in computer science to operate). Yes, free Wi-Fi in all rooms! That’s a huge plus. I mean, what is it, 2024? We need to be connected! I also saw Internet [LAN] which is cool. My inner geek is just so excited.
Here is something that almost put my whole trip in jeopardy. I needed to recharge for my phone. But when I looked down, I have noticed that I have missing socket near the bed. Honestly, if I didn't buy USB hub, I would be losing my mind. I spent good 5 minutes searching for my phone charger. That would be the biggest downside of the day.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: The Stuffing of my Face
Okay, let's be honest. A big part of a hotel experience is the food. Hanting Premium didn't disappoint. Restaurants, plural! Asian cuisine in restaurant? Yep! International cuisine in restaurant? You know it. Buffet in restaurant? Absolutely. The breakfast buffet was… well, it was a buffet. The usual suspects, but hey, variety is the spice of life, right? (Although, I may have filled my plate with the same thing three times. Don’t judge.) The Asian breakfast was good. The Western breakfast was acceptable.
The room service [24-hour] was a life-saver, especially after a long day of… whatever it is I do. The coffee shop was convenient for a quick caffeine fix. I actually had to make a pit-stop there to order because the day before, I forgot to set a reminder for my daily medication.
The Poolside bar? Now, that's where it gets interesting. I swear, I spent half my time by the pool just staring over a very strong cocktail. I had a salad in the restaurant, and oh boy, it was amazing. The desserts in restaurant kept me up at night. The Fitness Center and Spa: Pretending to be Healthy
Look, I have to mention the fitness center and spa. I intended to use them. I really did. But, you know, the pool was so appealing and I had a serious case of “vacation laziness”. They had a sauna, a steamroom, and massage options. I'm going to make sure I use them the next time, I guess.
Cleanliness and Safety: Thank God For Sanitize
This is where Hanting Premium really shines, given the current climate. Hand sanitizer was everywhere. Anti-viral cleaning products were used. Daily disinfection in common areas. The whole nine yards. I felt safe. The staff trained in safety protocol, which is comforting. I saw rooms sanitized between stays. The doctor/nurse on call is something that is comforting, I guess.
Services and Conveniences: Making Life Easier (and Me Lazier)
Daily housekeeping? Thank you, angel! Laundry service? Necessary. Dry cleaning? Important. Cash withdrawal? Useful. Concierge? Indispensable. Food delivery? My people. I also spotted a convenience store. I mean, what more could you want?
Now, for the Rambling Bits…
The Little Things: The complimentary tea and free bottled water were nice touches. The alarm clock – classic! The safety/security feature was nice to know.
The Weird Stuff: The bathroom phone? Still baffling. The shrine? Well, I'm not sure if it was a shrine or not, I feel very embarrassed that I couldn't identify it. Someone I knew said there was one because he needed to pray? Now, I am lost.
The "Could Be Better": Alright, I have to call out the exterior corridor. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but It's not as cozy as interior. Also, the lack of socket near the bed.
For the Kids (and the Big Kids at Heart)
I only mention the babysitting service, the family/child friendly aspect, and kids facilities. I have not needed them. But I am happy that they exist.
Overall Impression (And the Emotional Rollercoaster)
Look, Hanting Premium is good. It’s not flawless, but it’s solid. It’s a comfortable basecamp for exploring Putian or for relaxing and recharging. The food is great, the rooms are spacious, and the safety precautions put me at ease.
My Verdict: Highly Recommended (with a few caveats)

Le Dauphin St-Hyacinthe: Your MUST-SEE Saint-Hyacinthe (QC) Adventure!
Okay, buckle up, buttercups, because this isn't your sterile, corporate travel itinerary. This is the "I'm-probably-going-to-regret-some-of-this" version of my Hanting Premium Hotel Putian Wanda Plaza adventure. Hold on tight, because it's gonna get…well, real.
Day 1: Arrival and the Putian Puzzle
14:00 - Landed! (Or Did I?) The flight was…a flight. You know, all the usual suspects: cramped seat, screaming toddler, that guy who insists on reclining his seat into your breakfast. Actually, the breakfast was surprisingly good. I think it was a pre-flight, airport breakfast, before the flight. But I was too hungry to wait. I am in Putian, China! Who knew such a place existed? It was like I woke up in another dimension.
15:00 - Taxi Troubles & Hotel Hunt. Okay, getting a taxi was a comedy of errors. I swear, everyone speaks "Fast Chinese," and I speak… barely any Chinese at all. Eventually, after much pointing, gesturing, and a healthy dose of bewildered patience from the driver, we were off. The hotel, the glorious Hanting Premium Hotel Putian Wanda Plaza, finally appeared. (Or at least, I think it did. I was already half-convinced I'd ended up in some back alley noodle shop.)
16:00 - Room Roulette & Initial Impressions. The room? Pretty standard Hanting, which is to say, clean, functional, and with a slightly unsettling aroma of… something. (Could be air freshener, could be the lingering scent of a thousand forgotten dumplings. I'm opting to remain optimistic.) I threw my bag on the bed, which, let's be honest, felt about as inviting as a freshly ironed sheet of concrete. But whatever. I'm here. China. Here we go.
17:00 - Wanda Plaza: A Sensory Overload. The Wanda Plaza is…big. Like, "could-easily-get-lost-for-days" big. Everything is a dazzling assault on the senses: flashing lights, blaring music, and the tantalizing scent of a thousand different foods cooking. Okay, deep breath. Focus. I went in planning to buy a phone charger, and maybe some snacks. I walked out with…well, I'll get to that.
19:00 - Dinner Shenanigans (and a Lesson in Chopsticks). Finding a decent restaurant proved challenging. I wandered through the Plaza, feeling like a clueless tourist (which, to be fair, I am). I eventually settled on a place that “looked promising”. Ordering was an experience. I pointed, I smiled, I repeated the phrase "no spicy, please" approximately 27 times. The food arrived. I was not entirely sure what I was eating. The chopsticks proved to be my nemesis. After much flailing, I managed to ingest roughly 70% of my meal. Mission – mostly – accomplished.
20:30 - Back to the Hotel… and a Secret Purchase. Exhausted, I retreated to my room. And then I remembered that the hotel, the Hanting Premium Hotel Putian Wanda Plaza, offered a small laundry service. I sent my travel clothes out. It came back folded and placed in a nice bag. I was shocked! And then, while I was walking around Wanda Plaza, I saw this amazing…thing. It was a knock-off, but so what? I'll take it. I'll be the talk with the knock-off!
22:00 - Sleep…Maybe? After a long day, I was exhausted. I have to be honest. I was worried about loud noises, or maybe the smell that I was unable to pinpoint. I don't know why, but my brain was racing. I was so nervous about my travels. Well, here we are!
Day 2: Temples, Trains, and Tangled Tongues
07:00 - Breakfast Blunders (Round 2). The hotel breakfast was… well, let's just say it challenged my definition of "breakfast food." I ended up with a questionable pastry and some strong coffee. Gotta fuel up for a day of adventure, right? Right?
08:00 - The Mazu Temple: A Deep Dive. This temple! It was all the photos! All the hype! My biggest anxiety of my travels was the language barrier. But the temple was gorgeous! I spent at least an hour just wandering around, soaking in the atmosphere, the smells, the sounds. It was a genuinely moving experience.
10:00 - Train Ticket Turbulence. Figuring out the train schedule was a nightmare, a straight-up linguistic and navigational minefield. I spent ages in the train station battling automatic ticket machines and the very helpful but unfortunately non-English-speaking staff. This was when I wanted to give up. But I knew I couldn't. I knew I had to keep trying. I did end up getting a ticket.
13:00 - Lunch at the Train Station. (A low point). After all the stress of the train tickets I really needed to sit down and grab a bit. My brain was tired. I was tired. The train station was a good enough place. The food was definitely not good, but it served its purpose.
16:00 - The train ride The train was an experience! I felt like I was in a movie! My heart felt so good!
17:00 - Back to the Hanting Premium Hotel Putian Wanda Plaza. I was so tired! But I knew there was more to see.
Day 3: The Unexpected, and the End
- 09:00 - A Late Breakfast. I slept in. I skipped breakfast.
- 11:00 - Putting It All Together. With my time at the Hanting Premium Hotel Putian Wanda Plaza coming to an end, I sat down to plan out how to make the most of my remaining time. I booked my travel plans and knew that I needed to make some choices about what to do and see. This was my last day in Putian, and so I was determined to have a good one.
- 13:00 - Packing and Last Reflections. I spent a good hour or two packing my things and cleaning up my room. I'm the kind of traveler who always leaves a few things behind, be it a charger or some small items. I went through my things and found that there were a few items that I wouldn't be able to bring home.
- 15:00 - Last Meal: I decided to eat one last meal at the mall restaurants. This time, I wasn't afraid.
- 17:00 - Departure: Bye-bye, Putian! I'm glad it's over.
The Verdict:
So, would I recommend a trip to the Hanting Premium Hotel Putian Wanda Plaza? Maybe. It's not the Ritz, but it's clean, and it's a good base. It's definitely an adventure. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go find a good knock-off.
Unbelievable Kapuskasing Escape: Travelodge Wyndham Deal!
So, Hanting Premium... It's REALLY Premium, right? Like, actually?
Okay, here's the deal. Hanting has always been… well, Hanting. Budget-friendly and often a bit… *rustic* is a polite way to put it. This one? Different beast entirely. Premium? Yeah, I'd say so. Think of it like… a budget hotel that suddenly won the lottery and hired a designer who actually *cared*. I mean, the lobby alone… sleek, modern, and the smell? Not that weird hotel air freshener, but something subtly… expensive. Like, "I just made a deal with the devil for this scent" expensive. My first thought? "Did I accidentally walk into a different hotel?" I'm serious, it's a leap of faith from standard Hanting. They've *tried*. But it’s still… well, Hanting-ish in parts. We’ll get to that.
The Rooms! Spill the tea! What's the vibe? Are we talking Insta-worthy or… haunted motel?
The rooms… alright, let’s cut to the chase. They're good. Really good. Minimalist chic is the name of the game. Clean lines, tasteful lighting, a surprisingly comfortable bed (I *slept*! Actual, proper sleep!), and a smart TV. Like, the kind where you can actually *easily* connect your Netflix. Score! Honestly, the room itself was an oasis after a day navigating Putian’s, shall we say, *vibrant* streets. But, and there’s always a but, I had a tiny, tiny problem. The bathroom door. It wouldn't *quite* close properly. Like, it was a millimeter away from latching. And I'm not sure I ever fully trusted it! That's the imperfection. But hey, I'm here for the experience. And, you know, the price. It was a bargain.
Breakfast? Tell me about the BREAKFAST. It's the most important meal of the day, goddammit!
Breakfast... It wasn’t *bad*. Buffet-style, the usual suspects: some questionable scrambled eggs (seriously, a hotel breakfast staple of debatable origin), congee (always a solid choice!), noodles, some fruit. Nothing groundbreaking. Okay, let me be honest, the coffee was… tragic. Like, instant coffee from a forgotten land. I had to go find a decent cup of joe at a nearby cafe. BUT! And this is a big one: the staff were genuinely lovely. Super helpful, tried their best with my terrible Mandarin, and were just… nice. That counts for something, right? Especially after that coffee experience. I'll give them points for effort. Plus, there was a pastry that seemed perfectly suited to soak up the coffee sins of the hotel.
Let's talk Wanda Plaza. It’s right there, isn’t it? Easy access to shopping?
Oh, Wanda Plaza. Yes, it's *right there*. Literally. You walk out of the hotel, and BAM! Shopping! Restaurants! Entertainment! Everything a weary traveler (or a shopaholic, like *ahem*… me) could possibly want. I may or may not have spent a significant portion of my budget in that very plaza. Don't judge me! I'm not sure if I consider it a plus or a minus. Very convenient, but also… dangerous for my bank account. Be warned! You will spend money. A lot of money. Specifically, on those shoes.
Anything… *weird* happen while you were there? Because, you know, every travel story has one.
Okay, get ready for a story. One day, back in my room, it was raining. Pouring. Like, the kind of rain that makes you consider building an ark. And I was staring at the TV, trying to figure out what to watch. Then, suddenly, the electricity blinked. And, of course, that’s when the elevator stopped working. Which means I was stuck on the 12th floor for about an hour, and I had to go down by stair – after the electricity resumed. They've improved the stairs, but they're still steps. I may have been a little grumpy when I finally made it to the lobby, soaked and slightly panicked. I really wish they did something about the stairs by now. And hey, it's not the hotel's fault, right? Power outage. But that stair-climb… it earned a place in my personal hall of travel infamy. After that, I was a very happy customer. But, you know, it's the little things that make a stay memorable.
Alright, would you recommend it? The final verdict!
Okay, here’s the bottom line: Yes. Absolutely yes. Despite the slightly dodgy bathroom door and the coffee that could double as drain cleaner. The Hanting Premium in Putian Wanda Plaza is a genuinely good hotel. And for the price, it's a steal. It's clean, comfortable, well-located, and the staff are awesome. It’s a solid choice if you are looking for a nice place to rest and explore. If you're expecting perfection? Maybe temper your expectations slightly. But if you want a good, solid hotel with a hint of… unexpected charm? Go for it. Just bring your own decent coffee. And if you encounter any power outages, take the stairs. It’s an adventure, right? And who doesn't love a good travel disaster story?
