Chimelong Circus Hotel (Zhuhai Ocean Kingdom)

Love to stay here, even though communication is very limited but they are very helpful. Kids love the hotel. They provide a self-service laundry 24/7 so it is very helpful. I very recommend to stay in this hotel.

If you're heading to Chimelong, this hotel is seriously on point. It’s got that amazing circus vibe everywhere—the whole place feels magical from the moment you step in. 1. Location, Location, Location: The best part is how close it is to the parks. The Penguin Hotel is technically the closest to the main entrance of Ocean Kingdom, but the Circus Hotel is still super near. We're talking like a 3-to-5-minute walk tops. You're also right next to the International Circus, which is super handy. You can't beat that convenience when you're dragging tired kids (or yourself!) back after a long day of fun. 2. The Lobby and Logistics: The main entrance area is a real showstopper—it's got that big, grand lobby feel with all the cool circus decorations. For getting around, it's totally smooth. Calling a Didi (China's taxi/ride-share) is a breeze, which is great for arriving or heading out of the resort area. 3. Food Delivery is a Snap: Hungry but don't want to leave the hotel? No stress. The hotel is well-set up for the modern traveler. There's a designated, easy drop-off spot right in front of the lobby for your ******* (or other delivery) food. You don't have to wander all over to grab your late-night snack. 4. Dinner is a Must-Do: You absolutely have to check out the buffet at their main dining area, which is sometimes called the Circus Food Town or Gourmet Factory. It's not your typical stuffy hotel buffet; people often say it feels more like a huge, fun food court with tons of options, but the food quality is great. And here’s the pro tip: their crayfish is the highlight of the whole thing. Seriously, plan your dinner around trying the crayfish—it gets rave reviews! 5. Top-Notch Concierge Service: This is key for international travelers. The hotel offers a 24-hour concierge service with staff who can speak English. They're not just there to hold your bags; they can explain all the resort details—like the shuttle bus routes, park ticket bundles, and early entrance perks—making your whole trip much easier to navigate. That kind of clear, helpful service really makes a difference. Bottom line: If you're okay with it being a tiny bit further than the Penguin Hotel but want an awesome circus theme, easy access to everything, and one of the best dinners in the resort, book the Circus Hotel. It’s a great family base for a Chimelong adventure.

Amazed with the advancement and civilisation achieved by the hotel. My typical expectation about China hospitality prior arrival was far below what we have experienced. The overall service attitude and mindset of the staff is in par with international hotel chain. My niece and nephew, my mum and dad, my family of 10 staying with Circus Hotel, they enjoyed so much and very comfortable with the product and service. The hotel is busy but everyone didn’t show any frustration nor unfriendly especially when dealing with kids and seniors. They are very patience with the mess created by the children, very accommodating with any request, very efficient with any service and helpful with any assistance without demanding for tips. It is worth to book half board with the ticket entry package to save all the hassle. The food is surprisingly delicious be generous. The hotel amenities is far more than basic including international charging ports, foot reflex machine, extra duvet readily available, child partition protector, kid stool, anti slip mat, etc. The value proposition is above what we paid for the rate. Highly recommended for any family coming for vacation. Certainly will come back again as 2D1N is not enough to explore the place. Thank you so much Circus Hotel!
