Jinhua, China Hotel Rooms at the Independent

It was a very pleasant stay. I will book this hotel again when I return to Yiwu. The location was GREAT. Close to local street shopping, restaurants, the parks, the underground shopping mall...and not to far from the trade market. Walmart was across the street (under the park with the mall). Some shops in the mall were price negotiable, other we not. But it doesn't hurt to try anyways. The "M-BOX" restaurant was across the street which served the closest thing to "Western" food that we had seen besides KFC and McDonald's. The food was OK, not great but if you go during happy hours beer is buy one get one free. The Yimei has a currency exchange, Movie theater, spa/gym & multiple restaurants. If you have any reservations about booking here... you shouldn't worry... you will be VERY pleased :)

The rooms were somewhat small. The beds were excellent. Smokers were allowed to smoke on the non-smoking floor I was on, and in the elevators. The breakfast buffet was free and had a good assortment of western and Chinese fare. The evening crab legs were overcooked and cold.

From the time Jonny met me at reception till he booked me out. This was a top class stay. Breakfast was amazing well worth the money. Rooms were very well maintained with everything you need. Loads of restaurants in the area and even a Walmart!

Forget what you've heard or what you already know about Yiwu hotels. This is a first rate resort style, Four Seasons feel of a hotel. Look no further...this will be our regular hotel while visiting Yiwu.
