Hotels With Bars in Guizhou, China

I love this place so much that a part of me wants to gatekeep this hidden gem. Fanzhu梵住 is a beautifully curated boutique hotel that delivers outstanding hospitality. I initially booked a 5-day stay but loved it so much that I extended for an extra day, willingly sacrificing my next destination. I was initially worried the hotel might be a ”pretty façade.” Fortunately, Fanzhu met all my needs of functionality and comfort (Breakfast, Air Conditioning, an excellent shower, free self-service laundry, an ideal location). The property is far from perfection, but it overcompensates with simple, heartfelt sincerity. You can feel the tremendous thought and effort poured into this place to make guests feel comfortable. ✨ Highlights, Who Will Love This Place: ✅#English-Speaking Travellers: For foreigners unfamiliar with China, it is extremely helpful that the owner is fluent in English. ✅#Design & Aesthetics: Warm & modern. The property exudes zen-like comfort with charming decors. It has a gorgeous yard, with swimming pool, and ample outdoor seatings. ✅#Remote workers: I didn’t plan to work on this trip, but I could see myself working there remotely. If you come from the city where every building looks like a boxy Lego piece, you will deeply appreciate this place. ✅#Personalized Service: Kudos to the young lady boss! In a place like Wanfenglin where the location pins and 导航 can be vague to foreigners, sh took the time to understand my itinerary, how I planned my routes around Wanfenglin. She gave recommendations, and helped me check my “Destination” input on car hiring app. Airport and railway station pickups can also be arranged easily too. ✅#Immaculate Rooms: THE BED! Oh my, the bed! The linens, pillows, and towels are all premium quality. Even the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash feel luxurious. The bed is so comfortable that I would return just for a sleep-in holiday. Ok I know I’m mentioning the bed twice but it’s worth mentioning thrice. Extra points from me that the rooms are non-smoking. ✅#Location: Before arriving, I read a review describing this place as ”a piece of tranquillity close to the action”. Now I get it. It sits as an independent building on a peaceful road/hill(?), yet it is a short, easy walk to the Bagua fields and Zhong Nahui, where you can find idyllic cafes, little shops, and children playing in the fields. ✅#Breakfast: Delicious local-flavoured noodles!They also offer more conservative standards like toasts, eggs, and coffee. Oh, the hotel has an ice machine! Ooooohh so sexy in the hot weather (apparently ice cubes are rare in Wanfenglin). ✅#The Resident Pets: As a pet lover who willingly pays to visit cat cafes, having resident dog and cats sealed the deal for me. ✅#BONUS TIP: The Rooftop Night Sky. Unassuming and rugged at first glance, I was initially unimpressed. But I heard good reviews from others, so I gave it another go, and am thankful I did! Stay awhile, allow your eyes some time to adjust in the darkness, and you would see the sky completely transforms. On my last night, I saw a shooting star! I kid you not. It was an absolutely unbelievable, unforgettable moment. Incredibly awesome! ⚠️ Considerations Before You Book (Who should avoid): - If you love standard chain hotels. Fanzhu is intimate enough to offer personalized service. But I can imagine some of my more pampered friends who prefer international breakfast buffet spread would struggle to settle for this simplicity. Some things are just not realistic expectations off a boutique. - Mobility needs: There is no elevator. They would graciously carry your suitcases. However, elderly may want to enquire about ground-floor room. - In the midst of nature: If you have zero tolerance for insects, you may want to skip staying in Wanfenglin. It is a humid, lush environment surrounded by fields and trees. Personally, with a body spray of insect repellent, I wasn't bothered at all. - Pet allergies: If you hate pets (but why would you? :( w

Me and my girlfriend got picked up at Congjiang train station which was very convenient. Right from the start the owners of the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful. The accomodation is located at the back of the village next to a field where they grow rapeseed flowers and rice during the year. For us the location was perfect as it is very peaceful and quiet but simultaneously litterally a few steps away from the beautiful vibrant little village. The room was very spacious and clean with a gorgeous view on the field. The interior is very well matched and has great facilities. There was even a small laundry machine so we could do some laundry ourselves. So far during our travels in China, this stay was the best we had! There is a very stylish and cute coffee/restaurant located on the first floor of the building. This is also where you will have a delicious breakfast and where Ni Li and her sister will greet you with a smile every time you walk by. Ni Li, her husband Tao Mingqing, her sister and brother played a crucial part during our stay as after the first night my wife got very sick due to an infection and barely left the room during our stay. The second night I got foodpoisoning which made the situation even worse. (Not from the hotel!). We ended up extending our stay due to her condition. Luckily Li's English is very good so that helped us a lot in navigating the medical difficulties. We were extremely lucky to be staying with Li and her family as they took care of us like we were their own family. Preparing custom meals and dinner tailored to our needs every single day, preparing us tea, calling the local doctors and translating and taking us to the local hospital back and forth multiple times. We were there during the Qingming festival so no cars were allowed in the village which made it more difficult to reach the hospital. This didn't stop Tao Mingqing as he took us to the local hospital several times on the motorbike, one by one! The last time I even forgot a bag and he even went back to get it for me! He truly is a legend. Fortunately, my recovery was fairly quickly so I had the chance to explore the village a little by myself and spend time with Li and Ming while staying close to the room for my girlfriend. On day 4 my girlfriend's fever was coming down and she improved a little. Li and Ming invited us to have tea with them. Ming showed me his vast collection of tea and made sure to prepare the best tea suitable for our condition. The tea was truly amazing and he ended up filling a big bag with different kinds of teas as a gift for us! And that was not it, to make sure we would never forget them and drink tea mindfully the Chinese way when we're back home, they gave us the tea cups we used traditionally decorated with the blue dragon and phoenix. It was a very stressful situation and when we felt at our most fragile, they were there to take care of us, strangers they just met. This says everything about these wonderful people. Even though the illness of my girlfriend and the rough situation, we think back to our stay with a very warm hearth as our special experience forged a bond we'll never forget. We are incredibly lucky to have met Li and her family. We have said thank you to them 100s of times already, but I can't express enough how grateful I am for this people. Thank you for taking care of us like your family!!! ＜3 If you are unsure about staying here, there is truly no reason why you shouldn't! Whatever the situation, Li and her family will do everything they can to improve your stay. I'm sure you'll have a blast!

This hotel probably boasts the best location in the entire Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village. Our room had a fantastic balcony view, overlooking the entire village. It's incredibly close to the Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village observation deck, just a few dozen meters away, so you can pop over anytime. Dining options nearby are also very convenient; you can take the stairs down to Fengyu Bridge No. 5. The hotel's service, hygiene, and facilities were all excellent. The Marshall speaker in the room had superb sound quality. The hotel's shuttle service was great, with staff guiding us and helping with luggage. The afternoon tea offered a wide variety and a beautiful view. The hotel has two buildings, each with its own observation deck, featuring many great spots for photos. When we returned to the hotel at night, there was a complimentary sweet soup prepared for us, and the mini-bar had free Coke and Sprite. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Xijiang Qianhu Miao Village.

We chose Holiday Inn Guiyang Airport for an early morning flight with our child, and it was a perfect stay! The hotel offers a free airport shuttle starting at 6 AM, and the ride is very short, so we didn't have to struggle with luggage and a child. The front desk staff was incredibly thoughtful; seeing we had a child, they proactively arranged a quiet room. A special shout-out to Lily at the front desk, who was very enthusiastic and provided excellent service. Although our room wasn't quite ready when we arrived, she gently explained why, let us store our luggage so we could go out, and even helped us bring our bags to the room later. Her problem-solving skills were fantastic! The room was spacious and clean. The breakfast buffet offered a rich variety, including noodles and pastries, which our child thoroughly enjoyed. The public areas were tidy, perfect for a walk or relaxation while waiting for a flight. The service was attentive and thorough. Staying here with a child was hassle-free and comfortable. Five-star recommendation!

Stayed 3 nights in 山水谈. Personally I liked the decor of the homestay lobby and dinning area. The photos of the original room-Superior Smart Room - Mountain View that we booked on the 4th floor were misleading. It was an attic room with a slanted roof and a small window where some would feel claustrophobic, not big at all as shown on the photos. Fortunately we were allowed a room upgrade by booking via Trip.com and checked in to a room on the 2nd floor. Location wise, it was excellent as it was only a 10-minutes walk to 小七孔. Housekeeping was done daily and nicely. There was also complimentary laundry provided. Breakfast was sumptuous with good varieties. We were also picked up and dropped off at Libo HST Station. A feedback would be more warmth would be nice from the male staff.

The hotel boasts an excellent location, just 300 meters from the East Gate of Fanjing Mountain. After crossing the Heishuiwan Bridge, it's only a few minutes' walk to the mountain, saving a lot of travel time. The courtyard features a charming Dong ethnic garden style, with a gurgling stream flowing by, creating a serene and cool environment. The rooms are clean, and relaxing on the balcony is delightful, ensuring a comfortable stay in the mountainous area. The front desk service is attentive, and there's free parking for those driving. The only minor downsides are the limited breakfast selection; it would be better if packed breakfasts included some salty items, as sweating can lead to discomfort otherwise. Overall, it offers good value for money and is a top choice for a hiking trip.

The hotel's hardware is excellent, but its service and management get a zero. We checked in after 4 PM, and the room wasn't even ready yet. After it was finally cleaned, I walked in to find the previous guest's socks still sitting on the bedside table, as shown in picture one. It made me seriously doubt if they even cleaned it properly. The hotel's swimming pool is an Instagram hotspot, but because it's outsourced, the actual experience was a zero. There are no lockers! The entire changing room is as small as shown in picture two – that's it! The floor was covered in water and trash, and no one was cleaning it. There were no towels unless you paid 10 yuan for a disposable one, and no slippers unless you paid another 12 yuan. The breakfast was terrible, with very few options and no local specialties. Compared to other state guesthouses like the Wuxi Taihu Hotel, Nanjing Dongjiao Guesthouse, or Wuhan Donghu Hotel, the breakfast here was basically on par with a county government guesthouse. All in all, it's absolutely not worth the price. Booking the Zhijin Hotel was definitely the biggest regret of my Guizhou trip.

Staying at this guesthouse in Qianhu Miao Village was an absolutely delightful experience. The location is superb, making it incredibly convenient for exploring the village and finding local specialty dishes. The front desk and guesthouse staff were exceptionally warm and attentive, promptly addressing any needs and showing great patience and care. The daily complimentary fruit platter was a highlight—diverse, fresh, and deliciously sweet. Our room was spotless and well-organized, feeling spacious and bright. All facilities were well-maintained, ensuring a very comfortable stay. Every aspect exceeded our expectations; the attention to detail was truly impressive, and it offered excellent value for money. It's perfect whether you're looking for a relaxing getaway or a short trip. I'll definitely choose this place again when I return to Qianhu Miao Village.

Extremely satisfied with my stay! It was my first time visiting Huangguoshu Waterfall, and I hadn't booked tickets in advance. When I found out all the tickets were sold out, I was really worried. However, the kind gentleman at the front desk noticed my distress and empathetically helped us resolve the issue by making calls and arrangements. We were very touched! The next morning, we went to the scenic area and underestimated how crowded it would be, so we ended up checking out after 12 PM. After contacting the front desk, they were very helpful and extended our checkout time to 1 PM. This hotel is not only clean and tidy, but their warm and attentive service is truly unforgettable! I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Huangguoshu Waterfall; you won't be disappointed 😊 Their hotpot is also excellent!

This guesthouse boasts an excellent location right by the observation deck, with a bus stop conveniently nearby. The balcony view is absolutely stunning. Out of my entire trip to Xijiang, the warmest encounter I had was with Kele, the host of Qifengxin Guesthouse. They proactively communicated about my itinerary and was waiting right at the scenic area's ticket gate upon my arrival. Kele handled all my luggage, saving me from the exhaustion of carrying bags up stairs. Along the way, they patiently explained how to best explore the Miao village and answered all my travel questions without hesitation, offering practical and thoughtful tips. Kele was genuinely kind and meticulous in their service, even seeing me off to the scenic area entrance when I left. No matter how beautiful the scenery, it can't compare to attentive service. Thanks to Kele, this trip was exceptionally perfect. I highly recommend Qifengxin Guesthouse!
