Unbelievable Deals at Anyang's BEST Super 8 Hotel (Hongqi Rd)!
Anyang's BEST Super 8 (Hongqi Rd): Unfiltered Truth & Unbelievable Deals! (Seriously, Check it Out!)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I just got back from a whirlwind tour of Anyang (yes, that Anyang!), and I'm here to spill the tea – the scalding, freshly brewed, Asian-style tea – on the Super 8 Hotel on Hongqi Road. Forget the glossy brochures; you’re getting the real deal here. We're talking Unbelievable Deals – a promise that, frankly, had me raising an eyebrow at first. But after a stay… well, let's just dive in, shall we?
Accessibility & Getting Around (Honestly, Pretty Good!)
Alright, let's get the nitty-gritty out of the way first. Accessibility is a big deal, and I was pleased to see the Super 8 has some good points. There's an elevator, which is a MUST, and I spotted facilities for disabled guests mentioned (though I didn't personally use them). The rooms on lower floors are probably your best bet if mobility is a concern. Getting around in a taxi or car is easy - they have car park [free of charge] and valet parking! They also have car park [on-site] which is great, and some bicycle parking if you prefer to ride around, even though I don't recommend that.
Internet: The Lifeline (And It's Mostly Free!)
Okay, I’m a digital nomad at heart – internet's everything. And thankfully, the Super 8 mostly delivered. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms? Yes, all rooms – thank the heavens! The speed varied, let’s be honest, but it was reliable enough for streaming a movie (yes, I did!). They offer Internet [LAN] if you really want a wired connection, but who does that anymore? They have Wi-Fi in public areas as well, in case, heaven forbid, the signal drops in your room.
Cleanliness & Safety (Feeling Safe-ish…)
This is where things get a bit more… reassuring. Anti-viral cleaning products are used. Hurray! Daily disinfection in common areas, Rooms sanitized between stays – all good tick-boxes. They've got Staff trained in safety protocol, which is super important these days. You've got CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property, which gave me a slight sense of security (yay?). I saw Hand sanitizer stations everywhere. The Safe dining setup was in place, from my perspective. You can also opt-out Room sanitization opt-out available. Overall, it felt… safe enough. (Listen, perfection doesn’t exist, okay?)
Dining, Drinking, & Snacking (Food, glorious food… with a few curveballs!)
Right, let's talk eats! The Asian cuisine in restaurant was a highlight for me (seriously, the noodles!). You can get an Asian breakfast. They do Breakfast [buffet], which is your usual mix of things. They have a la carte in the restaurant and coffee/tea in the restaurant, with Desserts in restaurant. They offer Breakfast takeaway service if you're in a rush. There's a Snack bar and Poolside bar to grab a quick bite or drink. There are Restaurants on site, and you can grab a drink at the Bar. You can ask for an Alternative meal arrangement if there's something specific you avoid. I'm not sure what the Happy hour is like, yet. The food was decent. The Soup in restaurant was particularly warming, if I may add. I have not tried the Western breakfast nor the Western cuisine in restaurant! Just my personal thoughts, though.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax (More Like… Okay, I guess?)
Okay, this is where the Super 8 reveals its slightly less-glamorous side. There is a Fitness center and Gym/fitness! They offer Massage services. There's a Pool with view, but let's be honest, the "view" probably isn't the Eiffel Tower. There were mentions of a Spa/sauna and Steamroom, but I didn't get a chance to check them out. They have a Swimming pool [outdoor] which is a nice feature. If you are looking for a Body scrub or a Body wrap, you can try it out. You can also try the Foot bath. Honestly, for me, it's more of a base for exploring Anyang than a full-blown spa retreat.
Services and Conveniences (Standard Stuff, Mostly Helpful!)
Okay, standard fare. They have Air conditioning in public area - a MUST in Anyang! You get Daily housekeeping, which is lovely. Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Laundry service, and Luggage storage all there. They’ve got a Convenience store – perfect for late-night snacks, and Dry cleaning if you're fancy. They provide Invoice provided and Smoking area. They also have a Terrace. Doorman and elevator. They give you Ironing Service and Essential condiments.
For the Kids (Not My Expertise, But Here’s What I Saw…)
I wouldn't exactly call the Super 8 a kid-centric paradise. There are Family/child friendly rooms. They offer a Babysitting service! So, if you have kids, you might be okay!
Rooms: The Heart of the Matter (And They're Surprisingly Alright!)
Let's face it, the room experience can make or break a hotel stay. And the Super 8's rooms? Well, they're pretty standard, but definitely adequate. You've got Air conditioning (thank goodness), Alarm clock, complimentary tea and coffee/tea maker. There’s a Desk if you need to get some work done, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, In-room safe box, Ironing facilities, Mini bar, Private bathroom, Refrigerator, Satellite/cable channels, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Showers, Smoke detector, Slippers,Sofa, *Soundproofing, *Telephone*, *Toiletries*, *Towels*, *Wake-up service*, and *Wi-Fi [free]*- all the basics!
I stayed in a Non-smoking room (a MUST for me) with Blackout curtains (bliss!). The Bed was… fine. The Pillows were… adequate.
My Big (Messed-Up) Experience: The Karaoke Calamity!
Okay, here’s the juicy part. One evening, after a particularly delicious spicy noodle dinner, I decided to be adventurous. I saw a sign: Karaoke Night in the Bar! (or something similar, I might have imagined the exclamation point, or I was just projecting excitement).
I walked into the bar. And… Okay. Picture me: a slightly tipsy traveler, clutching a lukewarm bottle of water, facing a room of (mostly) locals, all of whom seemed to be professional singers in a former life. The stage, bless it, was tiny. The sound system, let's just say, had character.
I somehow ended up on that stage. With a microphone. And… I attempted to sing. (Let’s be kind and say I “attempted.”)
The audience… reacted. Let’s say the reaction was… memorable. (One woman actually clutched her chest at one point.)
The point is: the chaos, the laughter, the shared experience, the sheer unpredictability of it all – that is what I'll remember. Because, despite the (ahem) auditory assault, the SUPER 8 felt a little more like home than any sterile, predictable hotel ever could.
The Verdict: Unbelievable Deals? Absolutely. Unbelievably Luxurious? Nah.
The Super 8 in Anyang won't win any awards for glitz and glamour. It’s not the Ritz. But, as a base for exploring, a place to crash after a long day, and a spot where you might just find yourself accidentally becoming a karaoke legend (or a karaoke casualty), it’s got its own kind of charm.
The Unbelievable Deal Offer You Seriously Can't Refuse…
Okay, here’s my pitch, based on MY Super 8 experience:

Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's dry-as-toast travel itinerary. This is my supposed-to-be-organized-but-will-probably-fall-apart-faster-than-a-cardboard-box-in-a-monsoon trip to Anyang, China, staying at the… drumroll… Super8 Hotel on Hongqi Road. And boy, am I already feeling a mix of excitement and the creeping doom that only comes with international travel.
Day 1: Arrival and the Joy of Jet Lag (Anyang, China - The Beginning of the Mess)
- 6:00 AM (ish) - Beijing Airport - Landing, and the Descent into Chaos: Okay, first off, landing was… bumpy. Let's just say I'm pretty sure I saw my life flash before my eyes, but hey, we made it! Now the real fun begins: navigating Beijing Airport. This place is HUGE. Like, maze-of-the-minotaur HUGE. Finding my connecting flight to Anyang took approximately 45 minutes of frantic, sweaty-palmed searching and a near-breakdown over a Mandarin-speaking security guard who really didn't understand my frantic attempts at charades-ing "Anyang." Finally, success! I think.
- 10:00 AM (ish) - Flight to Anyang: The flight itself? Forgettable. Except for the lady next to me who crunched on peanuts like she was single-handedly trying to bankrupt a nut factory. And the kid behind me who decided my seat was a personal trampoline. Honestly, some people…
- 12:00 PM(ish) - Anyang Airport: Touchdown! And the air… it's different, isn't it? I'm not sure if it's the pollution or the sheer unfamiliarity, but my lungs feel a bit… confused. Quick taxi to the Super8. Fingers crossed it's not a complete dump.
- 1:00 PM - Check-in & Room Reconnaissance (Super8): Okay, the Super8. It’s… well, it’s a Super8. Cleanish. The sheets are hopefully clean. The air conditioning works (thank God, because it's HOT). The view? Well, let's just say it overlooks a… interesting… assortment of buildings. More like a hodgepodge, actually. Buildings of different styles and periods, from the modern, the old, and everything in between. It's like architectural chaos, but hey, at least it's authentic. Oh, and the Wi-Fi… slow as molasses in January. This could be a problem. Big problem.
- 2:00 PM - Nap of Despair: Jet lag. Officially defeated. Face-planted on the bed. Woke up three hours later, drooling slightly. I'm a travel goddess.
- 5:00 PM - Food Quest (or, The Battle for Dumplings): Okay, time to conquer hunger. This is where the real adventure begins. Finding food. I'm going to walk. I'm going to wander. I'm going to point at things. I hope like hell the locals are patient with me. I'm on the edge of the unknown, with no real plan except for a vague understanding that I need dumplings. I'll be back to tell you about it, later. I hope I can handle myself in this area. I'll report how it goes…
- 7:00 PM - The Dumpling Debacle (and Utter Exhaustion): Victory! Not just dumplings, but amazing dumplings! Found a tiny, hole-in-the-wall place with a woman whose face was permanently creased into a smile and who somehow understood my flailing gestures. The dumplings were… well, they were the best damn dumplings I’ve ever eaten. But, oh god. The social dynamics. This place was busy, and I’m pretty sure I accidentally cut in line once (a whole other story, maybe). And then a kid started staring at me, making me feel like I was some kind of alien. I think they were just curious, though. Anyway, now it's back to the hotel to collapse. Sleep is calling.
Day 2: Ancient History and Existential Dread (…and More Dumplings)
- 9:00 AM - Breakfast of Champions (or Regret): Okay, the Super8's breakfast is… well, let's not go there. I think I'll stick to fruit and a whole lot of coffee (which, miraculously, isn't terrible).
- 10:00 AM - Yinxu Ruins (The Oracle Bones and the Weight of Ages): Whoa. This place is incredible. I mean, actual ancient history! The Yinxu Ruins, the site of an ancient Shang Dynasty capital. The air is heavy with the weight of centuries. I gawked at the oracle bones—turtle shells inscribed with ancient writing used for divination—and tried to imagine what life must have been like back then. It's humbling, truly. The sheer scale of the site is just mind-blowing. It sparks a sudden, intense sense of awe, and then a moment of genuine existential dread about the meaning of life. Not even kidding. After you've absorbed the weight of thousands of years you can't help but look up at the sky and ask yourself, "What am I doing here, and why?"
- 1:00 PM - Lunch… Dumplings, obviously: Okay, I'm officially addicted. Found a different dumpling place. This one was even… better? Is that even possible? I’m starting to think I could live on these things. The texture, the flavor, the pure joy… it's a religious experience. I can't stop, and I won't stop.
- 2:00 PM - Wandering and the Art of Getting Lost (Deliberately): Today is the day I decide to wander. I wander through the streets, the markets, the parks. I don't try to find a map or a guide. I let myself get lost. At first, there's the panic. The utter terror of not knowing where you are, of not understanding the language. Then, the slow realization that it's actually okay. It's okay to not know. It's okay to be utterly lost in a foreign land. The experience is terrifying and exhilarating all at once. It's in this lost state that you discover the real soul of a place.
- 5:00 PM - Tea Break (or, The Language Barrier is Real): Trying to order tea. Attempted many hand gestures and a sad attempt at a Mandarin phrase I learned this morning. The tea lady just stared at me, giggled, and gave me… something. Still not sure what it is, but hey, it’s hot and caffeinated, so I'm happy!
- 7:00 PM - Dinner (You Guessed It!): Finding yet another dumpling place. There has to be like, a professional competition of dumplings I can enter. There is simply no other way I can explain this perfect experience. By the way, I think I just saw a cat in a hat. I swear. Must have been.
- 8:00 PM - Back to the Super8 - and Wondering: The day is done. But I can't sleep. I'm buzzing with everything I've seen, and I'm exhausted and a little bit sad about leaving. I sit at the window, and I wonder. Wonder what I'll do tomorrow. Wonder what the future holds. Wonder if I can handle travel for the next few days and weeks.
Day 3: The Journey Continues… And Hopefully, Fewer Missed Connections
- 9:00 AM - The Struggle is Real: Wake up. Head to the bathroom. Realize the water's cold. Briefly consider a nervous breakdown. Then, I remember I have dumplings to look forward to.
- 10:00 AM - Time to Plan. Time to Panic.: Okay, I need to figure out the next leg of the journey. Train? Plane? Taxi? I briefly consider renting a camel. The internet is slow, the information is confusing, and my brain is fried. Must. Find. Transportation.
- 12:00 PM - Lunch (Duh): Do not ask.
- 1:00 PM - Packing… and the Art of Leaving Things Behind: Packing. This is where the chaos really begins. I am a terrible packer. I overpack. I get overwhelmed. I probably have three pairs of shoes that I’ll never wear. And my suitcase is already bursting at the seams. I swear, every time I pack, I end up leaving stuff behind. I like to call it "The Great Purge."
- 3:00 PM - One Last Walk…and a Moment of Clarity? I took one last walk around my neighborhood. I am very aware of the fact that I may not know anyone here, and may never return but I cherish the short time I have spent here.
- 5:00 PM - Farewell to Anyang?
- 6:00 PM - Travel is always an adventure
Final Thoughts (For Now):
Well, that's
