What to watch for
Wi-Fi is the most common complaint in Trip.com reviews, so if you work online, test the connection early.

Value is its lowest category score at 8.4, so compare rates against nearby rivals.
Who should book
Families, shoppers, business travellers and first-timers who want a central base with proper facilities and an easy airport run.
