Huizhou's Hidden Gem: Daziran Business Hotel - Unforgettable Stay Awaits!
Huizhou's Hidden Gem: Daziran Business Hotel - Unforgettable Stay Awaits!
Okay, buckle up, because we're diving headfirst into the Daziran Business Hotel in Huizhou. Forget polished travel blogs, this is the real deal. We're talking a chaotic, beautiful, sometimes frustrating, and ultimately memorable stay. This breakdown is less about "everything perfect" and more about "what actually felt like, you know, living there."
First Impressions & Getting There: Not Exactly Smooth Sailing, But…
Let's be honest, accessibility in China can be a mixed bag. Daziran's not going to win any awards for pristine, fully accessible setups. Wheelchair accessible? Well, they claim to have facilities, but I'd definitely call ahead and grill them. I noticed an elevator, which is always a good sign, but navigating the public areas might require some, let's say, resourcefulness. Car park [free of charge] and car park [on-site] are great, and the airport transfer is a serious plus. I didn’t use it, but knowing it's there is reassuring.
Now, the journey itself: Traffic in Huizhou is… an experience. Seriously, factor in extra time. Luckily, once I finally arrived, the Check-in/out [express] option – oh, sweet mercy! – was a godsend. No endless paperwork after a grueling trip. They also had a Contactless check-in/out, which felt reassuring, especially post-pandemic.
The Room: My Sanctuary (Mostly)
Okay, the room! Air conditioning? Check. Air conditioning in public area? Also check. Honestly, a lifesaver in Huizhou's humidity. I had a high floor room – always a win for the view. It wasn’t the Ritz, but it was comfortable. Blackout curtains – essential for catching some zzz's. And the Wi-Fi [free] in the room actually worked! No annoying dropouts. They also had Internet access – wireless, and Internet access – LAN, so I guess they’re covering all bases. The Internet situation in general was pretty solid.
Now, a few delightful quirks:
- Free bottled water. Seriously appreciated during the heat.
- Refrigerator: Stocked it with drinks – essential!
- Coffee/tea maker: Because, well, caffeine.
- Complimentary tea: Nice touch.
- I loved the window that opens. Fresh air! Even if it felt slightly illicit, given the city noise outside.
- The bathtub… Well, let’s just say the bathroom was a tad…cosy. I’m not complaining, but it was certainly… intimate.
My room was mostly clean. They had Daily housekeeping, which was great. The whole Rooms sanitized between stays thing was comforting. I saw evidence of the Room sanitization opt-out available, which is your call. They also had a Smoking area and Non-smoking rooms. Good to be aware of.
The Food & Drink: A Feast for the Brave (and the Hungry)
This is where things get interesting. Daziran offers a buffet of options:
- Asian breakfast – Always worth a try, though sometimes a bit… challenging.
- Western breakfast: Better, but not always great.
- Breakfast [buffet]: A rollercoaster of deliciousness and, uh, questionable choices.
- A la carte restaurant – a safe bet, but requires a fair bit of scrolling through the menu, and pointing and hoping is a common occurrence.
- Restaurants. The restaurant options seemed varied.
- Happy hour. I should have taken advantage.
The restaurant downstairs had a Bar, Coffee/tea in restaurant, Coffee shop, and Poolside bar. I didn’t make it to the poolside bar, so don't know if it’s open at all.
The Snack bar and Room service [24-hour] were lifesavers. Especially at 3 AM, when the jet lag hit. You could order from a Bottle of water, and Desserts in restaurant. I wish I had tried the Salad in restaurant, or even the Soup in restaurant.
Important note: The food safety measures seemed pretty good. Individually-wrapped food options were available, and they had a Safe dining setup; I noticed the staff was definitely Staff trained in safety protocol.
Relaxation & Amenities: Spa, Swimming, and… Well, Mostly Swimming
Okay, so the spa situation. Spa, Spa/sauna, Sauna, Steamroom - they all sound amazing. I didn't actually get around to trying them, which is a major regret. I did peek in at the Swimming pool [outdoor]. The pool was… a pool. It looked inviting on a hot day. More often than not, it was filled with locals.
They also have a Fitness center. In my case, that meant the brisk walk to the coffee shop.
Other perks:
- Convenience store: Essential for snacks and forgotten essentials.
- Gift/souvenir shop: Tourist trap, but hey, it's there.
- Daily housekeeping: Always appreciated.
- Laundry service and Dry cleaning: Handy, especially for longer stays.
- Doorman, Concierge, and a Front desk [24-hour] which made everything easier.
The "Things to Do" and "Services" - What About Them?
They had the basics covered, which is enough for a lot of people. Things such as an Elevator, Luggage storage, and Safety deposit boxes are appreciated. They also offer Babysitting service and are Family/child friendly. I didn't avail myself of these, but its more than what other hotels around offer. They offer Cash withdrawal if you needed it. Also the Currency exchange.
The Negatives (Because No Hotel is Perfect!)
- The Noise: This is a Huizhou thing, not just Daziran. Be prepared for traffic, construction, and the general hustle and bustle of city life. Invest in earplugs.
- The Language Barrier: While the staff spoke some English, it wasn't fluent. Download a translation app. Trust me.
- Slightly Dated Decor: The hotel is functional, but it's not exactly "boutique chic." Think comfort over cutting-edge design.
Cleanliness & Safety: A Few More Thoughts
- Anti-viral cleaning products
- Hand sanitizer – yes, plenty visible.
- Daily disinfection in common areas.
- Sterilizing equipment.
- They clearly had CCTV in common areas and CCTV outside property.
- It looked like they had Fire extinguisher and a Smoke alarms. Very good.
The Verdict – is Daziran Worth It?
Yes, absolutely. Especially for the price. Daziran isn't perfection, but it's a solid, comfortable, and convenient base for exploring Huizhou. They are very serious about Staff trained in safety protocol, and they have clear Safety/security feature.
My "Stream-of-Consciousness" Recommendation:
Book it if: You value practicality, a good location, and a decent night's sleep. You're not afraid of a bit of local flavor (and the occasional "lost in translation" moment). You want a hotel that actually, you know, works.
Avoid it if: You demand five-star luxury, flawless English, and a perfectly curated experience.

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your sterile, perfectly curated travel diary. This is the raw, unfiltered, slightly-caffeinated truth about my experience at the Daziran Business Hotel in Huizhou, China. I'm talking messy, imperfect, and probably a little bit embarrassing. Let's do this!
The Daziran Debacle: A Huizhou Hustle Diary
(Day 1: Arrival & Initial Disappointment - or, "Where's the Wi-Fi that Works?")
- 1:00 PM: Landed at Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport. Smugglers passing nearby, but I had to ignore them, even ignoring the fact that the air was thick with humidity…I mean, thicker than a bowl of congee. Taxi ride to Huizhou… which took FOREVER. I swear, the driver was taking the scenic route, which, honestly, just involved seeing more of the same sprawling industrial landscape. My first impression of the area? Well, let's just say it wasn't the postcard-perfect China I'd envisioned.
- 3:00 PM: Arrived at the Daziran Business Hotel. My first thought? "Huh. It's… beige." Honestly, the colour palette was giving me major "hospital cafeteria" vibes. The lobby was huge, and the staff barely spoke English. Found a bellhop, but he barely spoke English. The air conditioning looked to be struggling to deal with the humidity.
- 3:30 PM: Got to my room. And here's where the "business" part of "business hotel" kicked in. It's a room. A perfectly functional, if somewhat sterile, room. A bed. A desk. A TV that probably only showed Mandarin soap operas. But the Wi-Fi… oh, the Wi-Fi. It was weaker than my resolve at a buffet. I swear, I spent a solid half-hour wrestling with it, trying to connect. Ping! Another failure. The whole ordeal made me feel like I was stranded on a desert island.
- 4:00 PM: After the internet didn't work, I went downstairs, thinking "maybe I'll get a snack in the hotel's cafe." Turns out, the cafe was more "empty room with questionable pastries" than a cafe. I grabbed a bottle of water and went back to my room, defeated.
- 4:30 PM - 6:00 PM: Tried to work. Fail! Ended up staring out the window, watching the world go by. I saw a guy on a scooter, balancing what looked like a whole stack of chairs. That was more exciting than my schedule.
- Evening: Gave up on the Wi-Fi and got a decent bath, which I must state was glorious. Decided that a wander outside might be a good start to the experience. I decided to just go for a walk until it got dark.
(Day 2: Finding a Silver Lining & the Mysterious Dumplings) - or, "The Rise of the Huizhou Hopeful"
- Morning: The light through the blind was so bright. Breakfast buffet at the hotel. It wasn't terrible, but everything felt a little… lukewarm. Discovered a mysterious, unlabeled dish. It looked interesting, so I bravely took a bite. Turns out? Delicious pork dumplings! Amazing! This was a true moment of joy. The breakfast also had some things that weren't to my taste, but I found some instant coffee powder. It helped.
- Morning: Decided to be proactive. Asked the front desk about a SIM card. Success! Got a local SIM card with data. Victory! The world opened up. Now I can check emails, and find other places that could have good Wi-Fi
- Afternoon: ventured out to explore the city. Found a local market, a sensory overload of sights, sounds, and smells. I saw a whole fish being gutted right in front of me. I'm not sure I've ever seen anything like it.
- Afternoon: Got a map and tried to find a park that I could chill in. No dice.
- Evening: Found the best eatery near the hotel- a tiny, hole-in-the-wall place. I'm pretty sure my Mandarin was worse than my Wi-Fi struggles, but by pointing and gesturing, I managed to order a plate of noodles with some fantastic, spicy sauce. The experience was a revelation. It wasn't perfect, I was eating alone, and the place wasn't necessarily pretty, but it was honest and true, and wonderful. It was the first moment in Huizhou where I didn't feel like an outsider.
- Evening: Decided to get some good sleep.
(Day 3: The Cultural Clash & the Karaoke Catastrophe) - or, "When Karaoke Kills (Your Ears)"
- Morning: Went back to the dumpling place! My love affair will continue
- Afternoon: I was feeling adventurous and booked a tour of a local temple. It was absolutely beautiful. The architecture was stunning, the air was filled with the scent of incense, and the monks were incredibly serene. But the tour was only available in Mandarin. I spent most of it just wandering, admiring the details and trying to guess what was going on.
- Evening: Big mistake. Joined some colleagues (who were, thankfully, more competent with the language) for karaoke. It was… an experience. Let's just say my singing voice is best described as "enthusiastic." The locals were amazing. I even had to have a few shots of something that tasted like gasoline. It was a karaoke catastrophe, and I loved every minute of it.
(Day 4: The Departure & the lingering feeling) - or, "The Beige Embrace"
- Morning: Last breakfast. Say goodbye to the dumplings.
- Morning: Final walk around the hotel. Made sure to give it a good look as I may never be back.
- Afternoon: Trip to the airport, the bus driver and I got along fine, he was a good guy
- Departure: Got home, and I can say it's good to be back.
Final Thoughts:
The Daziran Business Hotel wasn't perfect. It was a little beige, the Wi-Fi was a nightmare, and the staff weren't fluent in English. However, the people of Huizhou were welcoming, the dumpling scene was stellar, and I survived karaoke. Would I go back? Maybe. Would I recommend it? Well, that depends. If you're looking for a flawless, polished experience, probably not. But if you're open to adventure, willing to embrace the imperfections, and have a strong tolerance for questionable Wi-Fi, then maybe the Daziran Business Hotel—and Huizhou—will surprise you, as it did me. It was an experience, in the truest sense of the word. And isn't that what travel is all about?

Daziran Business Hotel: FAQs - My Honest Take (Brace Yourselves!)
1. Okay, spill the tea: Is Daziran REALLY a hidden gem? Or just... hidden?
Alright, fine. Let's be real. "Hidden gem" is thrown around like confetti, isn't it? And with Daziran Business Hotel, it *is* a bit hidden – tucked away somewhere in Huizhou that Google Maps initially thought was a cow pasture. Getting there was an adventure in itself! My taxi driver definitely questioned my sanity. But gem? Well, it depends on your definition. If you love the *idea* of a hidden gem, the anticipation and the journey, then yes. If you need a five-star experience, maybe lower those expectations… a *little*. It's got a certain charm, though. A very... *specific* charm.
2. The rooms! Give me the lowdown on the rooms. Are they, you know, clean? And spacious?
Clean? Mostly. Let's just say I've seen *cleaner* bathrooms. But hey, I survived (and I have a particularly sensitive stomach, so that’s saying something!). The cleaning staff does their best, I'll give them that. And yes, the rooms *are* actually pretty spacious. My first room was HUGE. Like, could-practically-roller-skate-in-it HUGE. Which, honestly, made me feel a little lonely, but that's probably just me. One minor thing: the air conditioning unit sounded like a small, disgruntled jet engine. I ended up just turning it off and hoping for the best, which led to a rather sweaty night but hey, I slept. Sort of. The bed was comfy though, I'll give it that. And the view? Well...let's just say it was a view. Of another building. Up close. Very up close.
3. The food! What's the breakfast situation? Or should I just pack my own snacks?
Breakfast...Ah, breakfast. This is where things get *interesting*. It's included. Which is great! But the selection... let's just say it's "authentically Chinese". There were congee (rice porridge), some questionable-looking dumplings, and… something I *think* was supposed to be scrambled eggs. (Texture wise, not the best experience, honestly). My advice? Pack a few of your own emergency snacks. Instant noodles are your friend. And maybe some peanut butter. Just in case. Honestly, the experience of navigating that breakfast buffet was an adventure in itself. The staff weren't very confident in speaking English, but they were enthusiastic in a very loud, very charming way. The lady serving the juice had a very kind and motherly way of trying to convince me to “try this!” - but I didn't think any sort of juice could change my mind about the scrambled eggs.
4. Is there anything to do *near* the hotel? Or am I trapped in a beautiful purgatory?
Okay, so this is where the "hidden" aspect really kicks in. "Near" is a relative term. There's not much *immediately* around the hotel. You're going to need a taxi or, if you're feeling adventurous (and trust me, with this hotel, you *will* feel adventurous), you could attempt public transport. I attempted the public transport. Let's just say I ended up somewhere I *definitely* didn't intend to be. But hey, I saw a really amazing street food vendor who made the best dumplings I've ever had! That was a highlight. So, yeah, you're not *trapped*, but you'll need to put in a little legwork to get anywhere interesting. The hotel staff can help with taxis but be prepared for some potential communication hurdles (patience, my friend, patience!).
5. The Staff! What are they like? Friendly? Helpful? Able to speak basic English?
The staff... bless their hearts. They *try*. They really, *really* try. English is…limited. But their eagerness to help is palpable. They’re super friendly, always smiling, and will go out of their way to assist you, even if that assistance mostly involves frantic hand gestures and a lot of Google Translate. I will never forget one particular interaction. I was trying to arrange a taxi to the train station (which, by the way, is quite a distance away). The front desk lady, bless her, spent a good 15 minutes making calls, pointing at maps, and generally looking utterly bewildered. Finally, she threw her hands up in the air and, with a huge grin, just said, "OKAY! Taxi come!" And you know what? A taxi *did* come. It may have taken an hour longer than expected, but hey, they got me there! And honestly, it's that genuine effort that makes the Daziran experience so memorable. It's less about perfection and more about the whole *human* experience of travelling. A lot of places you stay feel… manufactured. Daziran felt *real*.
6. Okay, So the Wi-Fi... Is it actually *working*?
Ah, yes, the Wi-Fi. This is a crucial question, isn't it? Well, buckle up, because it's another rollercoaster. Sometimes, it works like a dream. You can binge-watch Netflix, download photos, and generally be connected to the world. Other times... it's like trying to communicate via carrier pigeon. The signal strength flits in and out, websites load at a glacial pace, and you spend more time staring at the loading icon than actually using the internet. My advice? Prepare to disconnect occasionally. Embrace the digital detox. Read a book. Stare out the window. Breathe. And maybe download some offline entertainment before you arrive. You'll thank me later.
7. Let's get real: Would you actually stay at Daziran Business Hotel again?
Hmm...that's the million-dollar question, isn't it? Would I? Honestly? Probably. Despite the slightly wonky breakfast, the occasional Wi-Fi woes, and the slightly... *rustic* charm, there's something about Daziran. It's not perfect, far from it. But it's *memorable*. It's the kind of place that gives you stories to tell. It's the kind of place that makes you laugh at yourself (and the absurdity of travel). It's the kind of place where you feel like you're experiencing the *real* Huizhou, not just some sanitized version of it. So yeah. Probably. Just pack extra snacks.
