Review of Dandy Hotel Tianjin Dec 10-13

This is our 2nd stay (Dec 10-13) for 4 nights at Dandy Hotel this trip, after Hualian. We checked in at Dandy after lunch, 3pm but only the Elite Twin room was ready. We had to wait for more than half an hour for the Elite room. This time, our rooms were on the third floor. The Elite Twin Room was room 3F07.
The Elite Twin room had the Scandinavian Cottage theme. This room is featured in their hotel website. www.hoteldandy.com.tw. Half of the room (one side wall and the desk top) were immersed in dark green. Made the room a little dark. Also, the third bed was placed in a awkward postion and that made watching TV a little difficult, same as previous stay. BTW, my daughter still preferred the room with Snow White and 7 dwarfs.

There is a little toy piano in the room. Must salute the designers for taking pain to design the room!

Writing desk, open wardrobe, mini bar, fridge and safe beneath

Big, bright and spacious bathroom with shower and bathtub. The toilet bowl is my favourite, as usual.

Basin and amenities

Outside the room

The corridor on 5th floor (which is the 4th floor) but Dandy called it 5th floor.

Finally, after waiting for more than half an hour, we got our elite room - 3F05. This time, got a very small room - very limited walking space, especially after opening our luggage and there is also no space for a sofa or a small table and we have to endure this for 4 nights! Sigh! The only consolation is this room has a big french window/nice curtains, compared to previous one which only had a window with very bad view (water tank you bet!)

Room view from another angle. On the left, writing desk, open wardrobe, mini bar, fridge and safe beneath

The bathroom is oversized, bright and spacious, compared to the bedroom! Must say the bathroom is beautiful!

Tioletries have to be placed outside in the bedroom as there is no space in the bathroom. Amenities are very complete. See previous hotel reviews of 1st stay and June 09's trip.

The bathroom came with standing shower and jacuzzi, It has windows too!

Floor plan of our floor. Actually, it is a emergency route map. Our room is the one with the red man.

Overall, a nice, good, clean, modern and economical boutique hotel for the price paid. Love the toilet seat! But the Elite room is really small.
