The boss of this place is sooo kind and friendly, he always trying to give information to me and it’s really helpful. And you can also use washing machine for free! Finally this place is so quiet in daytime and nighttime also.

Our stay was memorable. The room was traditional chinese style which was a cool experience and it was reasonably clean with a cute courtyard. The owner was very responsive by email before the trip and arranged a taxi from and back to the railway station. He was really friendly and spoke enough English to help us out with getting around the town. The Inn was located in a quiet area close tp the ancient wall and walking distance from the old town center. The owner lent me a bike to go ride into town one evening which was really fun.

The owner of the guesthouse is super friendly and willing to help out with whatever you want. He picked us up all the way from the airport and he made sure our entire stay was as comfortable as could be! It was extremely hot outside and he gave us free cold water every morning! The rooms are perfect for a few days in this amazing city and the AC is a nice addition.

We arrived at 0.30 past midnight with -3 degrees and the owner was there to pick us up by surprise. I was soooo happy! The room is gorgeous and it has everything we needed. We were not cold at all. The temperature of the room was perfect. The bed oh! so comfortable! Very good shower. Hot! Hot! Hot! And we were able to use the free bicycles. We had to go one day earlier in a hurry and the owner also took us for free to the train station. It's a super calm area. No noises at all. We had a great stay. I would definitely came back here.

Bathroom is very uncomfortable, along with limited shower hours (but you can ask to shower outside these hours). Poor noise isolation (probably due to the building being old), there isn't much noise from the outside but they usually run the washing machine in the morning.
Hotel manager is very helpful. The courtyard is nice.

For the price you pay the place is nice. It is a beautiful room, nicely decorated, and the common area of the building is also nice. Owner also took us to the railway station at the end of our booking. (Charged extra, fair price)
