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.

Yunyoung China

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.

Staff was friendly and helped us with the luggage.

Ella Switzerland

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.

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)
