I enjoyed my stay at Ruby Bella Hotel Ningbo Old Bund, especially the close proximity to vibrant nightlife and shopping. The breakfast was decent, and my room was spacious with a large shower cabin. However, I found the overall ambiance a bit outdated and some facilities, like the Wi-Fi, could use improvements.

The Ruby Bella Hotel in Ningbo has a lot going for it, especially its location near vibrant nightlife and a helpful staff. However, my stay was marred by some maintenance issues, like an insecure WiFi connection and a constantly dripping toilet. Given the good breakfast and generally clean rooms, it feels like a place that could use a refurbishment soon. 🌆😕
