Wuhan's Hidden Gem: Jiangtan Luxury at City Comfort Inn!
Wuhan's Hidden Gem: Jiangtan Luxury at City Comfort Inn! – A Review (with a Side of Sanity)
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to spill the tea on the Jiangtan Luxury at City Comfort Inn in Wuhan. And believe me, after navigating the city (and let’s face it, life) lately, I needed this place. First off, this isn’t your grandpa’s City Comfort Inn. This is…well, let's just say the “Luxury” part isn't just slapped on for kicks.
Accessibility & Safety – A Breath of Fresh Air (Literally!)
Right off the bat, I have to give them props for accessibility. Wheelchair accessible is a HUGE win, especially considering some of the older hotels I've stumbled into. They've got an elevator, which, trust me, is a lifesaver after a day of sightseeing. And speaking of lifesavers, the 24-hour front desk and security gave me serious peace of mind. This whole safety thing is a big deal these days, you know? They had CCTV everywhere, both inside and out (which, if you're paranoid like me, is a huge plus). Plus, I saw fire extinguishers and smoke alarms everywhere. This is the kind of stuff you hope is in place, but often isn't.
Now, let’s talk cleanliness and…well, the “C” word. Yep, the COVID situation. Let me tell you, I was a nervous wreck before I got there. But they seriously nailed it. They had Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, and they were doing professional-grade sanitizing services. I almost felt guilty at how clean everything was. The staff are trained in safety protocol, and I saw them using sterilizing equipment constantly. They even had hand sanitizer everywhere. Everywhere. Plus, you could opt-out of room sanitization, which is nice. They also had Individually-wrapped food options, which is a HUGE comfort. I am a massive germophobe, and if you want to see my reaction, I had a major meltdown when I realized they had rooms sanitized between stays. Thank God for this hotel, because the Safe dining setup was much needed.
However, getting around was a breeze for me. The taxi service and car park [free of charge] were useful.
Rooms – My Personal Sanctuary (Finally!)
Okay, the rooms. Where do I even begin? First off, Air conditioning – a must-have in Wuhan, especially during the humid months. The soundproof rooms were a godsend, because even the most enthusiastic city sounds can be overwhelming. Now, if I may be a stickler, the Internet access – wireless was a life saver. Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Seriously, that’s a HUGE selling point. No more begging for a signal in the lobby (which I almost did). They have Internet [LAN], but it seems a bit old-fashioned so you'll have to pick-up that cable.
And the little things? Blackout curtains (bliss!), slippers (luxury!), and a coffee/tea maker. Heaven! The bathroom was modern and the separate shower/bathtub was the perfect way to unwind. I even had a bathtub, which I soaked in for hours! They had Air conditioning, alarm clock, bathrobes, complimentary tea, daily housekeeping, desk, extra long bed, free bottled water, hair dryer, high floor, in-room safe box, ironing facilities, laptop workspace, linens, mini bar, mirror, on-demand movies, private bathroom, reading light, refrigerator, satellite/cable channels, scale, seating area, smoke detector, socket near the bed, sofa, telephone, toiletries, towels, umbrella, visual alarm, wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], and a window that opens. This is what I wanted, I was in heaven.
Dining – Food, Glorious Food (and Maybe Overeating)*
I am a sucker for breakfast. And they had Asian breakfast and Western breakfast. Breakfast [buffet] was a welcome sight. They had coffee/tea in restaurant, and I had a perfect Asian cuisine in restaurant. I also explored a coffee shop I love my caffeine so I was very happy. They also had Desserts in restaurant. Restaurant was also a welcome sight.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax – Pure Indulgence (and a Little Regret)
This is where things got REALLY good, and also a little… extravagant for my wallet. I'm a fitness junkie, so the fitness center was a must-check. And the Spa/Sauna? Don’t even get me started. I think I spent a good chunk of my stay in the Sauna.
- Spa - I'm kind of a spa snob. Okay, a total spa snob. But the options were great. They had a Body scrub and Body wrap. And they had a Massage- a seriously skilled masseuse, who kneaded away all the stress from my shoulders.
- Swimming Pool - But the real showstopper? The Pool with view. I'm not even sure what I was expecting, but I wasn't expecting THIS. A beautiful outdoor pool, overlooking…well, the city. The view was incredible.
Services and Conveniences – They Thought of Everything (Almost)
They had all the usual suspects: daily housekeeping, laundry service, dry cleaning, luggage storage, and a concierge. But it was the little things that really impressed me. They had Cash withdrawal and Currency exchange, which is incredibly useful for a tourist like me! Plus, they had Food delivery, and I could use Contactless check-in/out which I am huge fan of.
Okay, I will admit, the Gift/souvenir shop was tempting. And they had a Convenience store which was perfect for late-night snacks (yes, I ate a lot).
The Not-So-Perfect Bits (Because, Let's Be Real)
Okay, nobody's perfect. And neither is this hotel, but don't worry!
- The Internet services are great, but the wifi can be a bit spotty at times, but it's nothing that a little troubleshooting can't solve.
- I'm still not entirely sure about the difference between a Bar and a Poolside bar.
- The water in the shower got warm instead of hot some times, but it was not a problem for long.
- I wanted to bring my puppy but they say Pets allowed unavailable (which bummed me because I love dogs!)
Overall Impression – Worth the Splurge? Absolutely.
Look, the Jiangtan Luxury at City Comfort Inn isn’t the cheapest place in town but I swear the level of comfort and service made it all worth it. It's a haven in a hectic city, a place to recharge, and genuinely enjoy yourself.

Escape to Paradise: Ninh Binh's Eco Garden Bungalow Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your sanitized, corporate-approved itinerary. This is my trip to Wuhan, and I'm sharing the raw, unfiltered truth. Prepare for possible train wrecks, unexpected joys, and a whole lotta "oh, that's not what I expected." Here goes…
Trip: Wuhan - The Great Wall of Noodles and Questionable Air Quality (7 Days of Glorious & Slightly Claustrophobic Chaos)
Hotel Basecamp: City Comfort Inn, Wuhan Hankou Jiangtan (Pray for me. I'm already picturing tiny pillows and questionable plumbing. Let's be honest, I chose this place because it was cheap and had decent reviews on one site, the rest I'm actively ignoring. YOLO, right?)
Day 1: Arrival and a Baptism by Fire…Or, Rather, Spicy Noodles.
- Morning (Late): Arrive at Wuhan Tianhe International Airport. Jet lag? Oh, honey, that's already kicked in. I feel like I'm wading through molasses. Customs? Smooth, surprisingly! But getting a taxi…that was a wrestling match. Apparently, knowing a few basic Mandarin phrases is a must when you're trying to explain your destination (I'm pretty sure I ended up saying "noodles" and then "hotel" repeatedly… it worked). Actually, I am also starting to think that the driver could not speak one word of english, but, really, how many chinese drivers do?
- Afternoon: Check into City Comfort Inn. First impressions? Well, it’s…compact. And the air conditioning sounds like a dying walrus. Ah, Wuhan. You’re off to a roaring start. A nap is mandatory. I'm pretty sure I slept through the entire afternoon.
- Early Evening: The real mission begins: finding some authentic Wuhan hot dry noodles (re gan mian). I bravely venture out into the (slightly hazy) city, armed with Google Maps and a prayer. Found a tiny, hole-in-the-wall place. The line was long, but the aroma… oh, the aroma. It was like being punched in the face with garlic, sesame paste, and chili oil. Sign me up! The noodles were…a revelation. So incredibly delicious that I basically inhaled them. My mouth is still on fire. Worth it? Absolutely. Ate the noodles, cried, and I am a man reborn.
- Evening: Stumble back to the hotel, stomach full, face slightly red. Attempt to decipher the TV. Fail. Pass out.
Day 2: The Yangtze River Cruise of Misery and Unexpected Beauty.
- Morning: Wake up. Realize I ate too many noodles. Regret is setting in. The walrus is still in the AC. Decide to be a responsible tourist and booked a Yangtze River cruise.
- Afternoon: The cruise…was a mixed bag. Beautiful views of the Yangtze River, yes. But also relentless salespeople, questionable coffee, and the distinct feeling that I was packed onto the boat like a sardine. I swear I saw a woman knitting a scarf at what appeared to be supersonic speed; then she started selling it when we reached the middle of the lake. The air quality was… well, let's just say my lungs felt like they were starting a new career in bricklaying. On the plus side, the towering Wuhan Bridge was pretty spectacular.
- Evening: Back at the hotel, completely exhausted. Eat a bag of questionable-looking potato chips from the corner store. The real highlight? Watching a group of elderly ladies doing synchronized exercises in the park across from my hotel window at sunset. They looked like they were having a blast. That's life goals, people.
- Late Night: Try to watch some tv. The same scene in a chinese tv show kept repeating and I got stuck in it. I turned it off and started to think of my life choices. My brain started to melt down.
Day 3: A Cultural Dumpster Fire…Er, I mean, A Temple Visit.
- Morning: Determined to inject some culture into this trip. Head to the Guiyuan Temple. Gorgeous architecture, serene atmosphere. The incense was thick, the chanting was hypnotic, and I got completely, utterly lost in the maze-like courtyards. I swear I wandered in circles for an hour, convinced I was going to accidentally join a monastery.
- Afternoon: Found myself in a local market. Oh, the smells! The colors! The…live chickens in cages. It was sensory overload. I bought some fruit I couldn't identify but decided to go with. It ended up really delicious! But seriously, the contrast of the serenity of the temple and the crazy of the market was…well, it was Wuhan.
- Evening: Dinner at a supposedly "authentic" restaurant. Ordered something I thought was beef. It turned out to be something…else. Let’s just say my taste buds are still recovering. This is going to be a journey of self-discovery, isn't it?
- Night: I decided to keep my doors locked now after my near-death experience with something that was not beef.
Day 4: The Yellow Crane Tower - Or, My Struggle with Heights and Tourist Crowds.
- Morning: Rise and shine. Today, it's the Yellow Crane Tower. I hear the views are incredible. I am also a bit of a scaredy-cat when it comes to heights, so this should be interesting.
- Afternoon: The tower itself is beautiful, a classic example of traditional Chinese architecture. The view from the top? Staggering. The city sprawls out beneath you, a sea of buildings and bridges. And the crowds? A maelstrom of selfie sticks, screaming children, and overly enthusiastic tour groups. I did not enjoy the crowds. I got overwhelmed. Did I make it to the top? Yesss! Did I enjoy it? Uhhhhh…
- Evening: Found a small, quiet tea house. Ordered some jasmine tea. Sat in silence, staring out the window, and trying to decompress after the tower experience. I think I just needed a break from humanity.
- Night: Watched a terrible action film on the TV. At least it wasn't in Chinese.
Day 5: The Wuhan Museum and My Existential Crisis.
- Morning: The Wuhan Museum. Okay, I really need to show I'm capable of doing some serious culture. Headed to the Wuhan Museum. Art, history, local artifacts… It was all there. But, honestly? My brain was a bit fried from days of spicy noodles and questionable air quality. I started to feel incredibly overwhelmed, like I was drowning in information. I began to wonder, what am I even doing here?
- Afternoon: Decided to take a break and wander through a park. Found a small pond, sat on a bench, and people-watched. Watched a kid in a red shirt and a big smile run around. A sense of peace washed over me.
- Evening: Found a little local restaurant that had something that resembled what I wanted, which I think was chicken. I ate it. It was delicious. I decided to try and order some more. Disaster. I used the translator on my phone and still failed. I ended up with what appeared to be something that was, well, it had bones. I can't seem to escape. I felt like a failure.
- Night: I started to think that maybe getting sick was on the menu of this trip.
Day 6: The Road to Recovery - And Shopping for Ridiculous Souvenirs.
- Morning: Woke up feeling marginally better. Decided to embrace the chaos. Headed to a shopping district. Found a shop selling giant panda plushies. Bought one. No regrets. Maybe this is the trip to embrace.
- Afternoon: Attempted to find a tailor. Failed. Got lost in a maze of narrow streets. Ended up stumbling upon a hidden food stall and I got an extremely delicious bowl of noodles and then an ice cream.
- Evening: Ordered a takeaway. Fell asleep watching something on the TV, not sure what. I woke up and I ended up eating the leftovers.
- Night: I am excited for tomorrow, mostly because I am already planning my return, to where I feel more comfortable. I'm not going to lie, I don't think this is for me.
Day 7: Departure - And the Lingering Taste of Adventure (and Chili Oil).
- Morning: Last breakfast in Wuhan. The AC walrus is still doing its thing. Check out of City Comfort Inn. (I am already looking forward to a shower where I won't accidentally be in a room with other guests).
- Afternoon: Head to the airport. Feeling surprisingly melancholic? I survived! I saw things, ate things, and had experiences that ranged from sublime to… well, let’s just say “memorable.” Wuhan, you are a crazy, beautiful, chaotic mess, and I wouldn't trade this trip for anything.
- Evening: On the plane, ready to head home, with a giant panda plushie in my arms and a newfound appreciation for… well, everything.
Final Thought: This trip was a chaotic mess, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
