Rooms
Slow Town Hotel-Glowing offers a mixed experience when it comes to its rooms. Guests frequently highlight the cleanliness and comfort as key positives with many rooms described as very clean, neat and comfortable. The bathrooms are notably spacious and well-equipped, often larger than the bedrooms and feature high-quality amenities like A'Yuan scented products, which are well-received.

The design and decoration of the rooms earn praise for being clean, beautiful and modern with some rooms being notably spacious.

The layout and spatial planning are areas needing improvement, as some guests noted issues with cramped conditions and suboptimal use of space.

Comfortable beds, good shower equipment and additional perks like welcome fruits and espresso machines enhance the stay. Despite these positives, sound insulation is poor with noise from elevators and thin walls disturbing some guests.

In summary, Slow Town Hotel-Glowing offers a range of room experiences. While many find them clean and comfortable with spacious bathrooms, others note the small living spaces and occasional maintenance issues.

However, some reviews point out minor drawbacks. The softness of the pillows is a recurring issue for several guests with a few finding them too soft for comfort.

Adding to this, the parking comes with an additional charge, which some guests feel is too expensive. Moreover, motorcycle riders need to find parking elsewhere and the location's one-way street front can be an additional challenge. Despite these issues, for those who manage to secure a spot, the location's overall transportation convenience is a noted positive. The hotel staff may offer assistance by covering public parking fees if the lot is full, providing some relief in times of high demand.
