Telephone Service The following is our hotel’s telephone service guide. 1. How to make a call from your room For room-to-room calls in the hotel, dial the room number directly. For local calls, please dial “9” first. Then dial the telephone number after the line-through tone is heard. For domestic long distance calls, please dial “9” first, followed by the area code and the local telephone number. For international direct dials (IDD), please dial “0” first, then the international prefix “00”, followed by the country code, area code and the expected telephone number. Please note that while you are dialing IDD, please dial the hotel code, international prefix, country code, area and the expected telephone number. Please note that while you are dialing IDD, please dial the hotel code, international prefix, country code, area code and subscriber number continuously, with no pause (exceeding 10 seconds) made, to ensure that your dialing will not be interrupted. After completing your call, please see to it that the receiver is properly placed on the telephone hook. Otherwise the hour meter will work continuously; the hotel will not be responsible for such disputes. 2. How we charge for a call Direct dials are charged on a per minute basis from the moment the call is answered. Calls are automatically charged to your account. The hotel will collect 15% and 10% as a service charge from IDD and DDD(domestic direct dial) calls respectively. The hotel will collect 5.00 Yuan as a service charge for a collect call or a call paid by credit card. For direct dialing calls, you are still requested to pay even if you dial the wrong number. Telephone bills with details will be given to you upon checking out. Local calls made from hotel rooms are free of charge. 3. Message service When you find the green phone light on, please dial “0” for the message left for you. 4. Confidential service or screen call service If you don’t want to answer any incoming calls or you just want to let certain calls through, please dial “0” to inform the operator. For any inquiries, please dial “0”.
