Homestays in Henan, China

I stayed for three nights. The hotel is located within the Tongtuo Muyu scenic area, which is small and not yet officially open, so there aren't many tourists, mostly local residents. The room was spacious, with the famous Chan River visible from the window. The windows were well-sealed; once closed, you couldn't hear the sound of the water. You can control the lights and curtains by voice, which is great for winter. The breakfast selection was rich, and the old lamb soup with bread (paomo) comes highly recommended (you need to go to the restaurant to eat it yourself). Both the staff and the cat were incredibly welcoming; the cat would even follow me to my room and actively ask for scratches. A small suggestion: the blue light on the smart toilet seat was a bit bright at night, and I couldn't figure out how to turn it off.

It was a really enjoyable stay: the location is very central and the subway line is only 2 mins walk away. So from the high speed line it will take you approximately 50 mins to reach the hotel. Taxi is sometimes not even fast - the price of the subway is unbeatable low compared to the taxi. The room was very clean, quiet and ideal for a couple of days. The owner was very kind and even helped with the laundry. Wi-Fi connection was top. Around the hotel you‘ll find loads of traditional restaurants, Cafés and supermarkets. A hidden gem, which I highly recommend.

Pros: 1. Hotel staff Xiao Chen (小陈) was exceptionally helpful, polite, patient, and attentive to our family’s requests. Thanks to her warm service, our stay was truly pleasant and comfortable. 2. The hotel provides free self-service laundry facilities, including washing machines, detergent, and dryers — very convenient for families. 3. The hotel has a charming rustic design and is beautifully renovated while preserving its character. Cons: 1. The hotel does not have a lift. If you have large or heavy luggage, it’s best to request a ground-floor room. 2. The room heater was not effective enough during early winter in December. It did not warm up sufficiently, which may be uncomfortable for guests from warmer climates, especially families from hot countries like ours.

For that price the hotel is quite good. I will tell you about pros and cons of this hotel. Pros: - amazing location in the center of the Zhengzhou, 15-20 minutes away from Zhengzhou railway station, 5 minutes away from subway station, lots of cafes and shops are located nearby. - scenic view from the room and big bed for decent price. Cons: - There was no hot water due to broken boiler, air-conditioner costs 15 more yuan to use. - Additionally, there was no hand soap, but i was provided with shampoo, shower gel, toothbrushes and 2 towels. In general quality to price ratio is good, do not expect anything extraordinary from this hotel for that price.

This was a spontaneous trip, and I only booked the hotel and high-speed rail a day or two before departing. To my surprise, the stay exceeded all expectations. Tucked away in an alley, this guesthouse revealed a whole new world once you stepped inside – much larger than I imagined! I booked the private balcony room, and they even had a 'stove tea' setup. I thought it would be one large room with three connected king beds, but it turned out to be one room with two beds and another with one, offering both convenience and privacy for a large family. From check-in to room service and breakfast, the three ladies provided incredibly thoughtful and prompt service. The location is also very convenient, with the guesthouse having its own private parking and electric scooter rentals available. It's within walking distance to Shizi Street, Lijing Gate, and Luoyi Ancient City. The guesthouse staff also offered a range of travel tips and recommendations.

We arrived at the Longmen Grottoes a little after 5:00 AM that day. We added a friend on WeChat in advance, and he picked us up in the underground parking lot. Water and drinks were readily available in the lobby. Upon check-in, they were very considerate, giving us a small gift bag, even nail clippers. The service was incredibly detailed. After checking in, we went on a round-trip tour of the scenic area, which took about two hours. The walk was a bit tiring, so we ate at a food stall across from the hotel. The room had a bathtub, which we used for our child's bath. The bedding was excellent, and there was also a laundry service. This is definitely a top choice for a stay at the Longmen Grottoes. I highly recommend it.

The car has been attracted by the ancient Chinese architecture of the tunnel. The entrance is the Longting West Road Jianye Half Muyuan (East Garden) Building 11, gray walls and glazed tiles, and I feel like I shuttled to the ”Qingming Shanghetu”! I am a special photo of Zhang Da at the entrance of the hotel, and the expression package is happy and blended with the ancient buildings. It is really broken and has a sense of literature and art. The biggest feature of the hotel is of course the atmosphere. Chinese garden design, live in the fine road and walk in the yard, the surrounding is quiet and cultural, only a few minutes away from the Qingming Shanghe Garden, more convenient than expected, tired back to the hotel for a break, really super suitable for parent-child travel. Add the surrounding Longsui Mountain and Drum Tower Night Market, no matter how you play the attractions, the restaurant is not annoying. The room is really comfortable, there is a hot water dispenser, the toiletries are even used in high-end brands, the disposable towels and bath towels are complete, the details are sufficient, the bedding is soft and even sleep is happy. Before the comment, some people praised the mattress and pillows, and it really deserved its reputation. Even I usually feel a lot of it. I feel the sky! The staff of the Chengban Hotel are very enthusiastic. When checking in, they take the initiative to help me carry my luggage. Zhong will ask the baby if he needs it. The most heart-warming system, he took the initiative to send a small toy to the baby, and the fine road immediately laughed. Before leaving check out, I sent a souvenir intimately, and felt the authentic Kaifeng people hospitable and attentive.

After comparing several guesthouses, I finally settled on this one, and it looks exactly like the pictures. It's conveniently located not far from the main street, making it easy to hail a taxi. Step outside, and you're right on the old town's snack street, where you can even find Hanfu rental and photo experiences. The only minor inconvenience for drivers is finding parking. Despite the bustling surroundings, it's peaceful inside – truly an excellent location. Before check-in, they provided recommendations for local eateries and travel tips. Thanks to them, I even got to try the famous Nanguan Small Bowl Beef Soup. I initially stayed for two days in a quiet, clean room that had many thoughtful touches. I loved it so much that I decided to extend my trip by a day, so I moved into their only available larger room, which was incredibly spacious and comfortable. The friendly hosts even helped me with my luggage, and as a parting gift, they gave me some Luoyang specialty rose cakes. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I'll definitely choose to stay here again for a few more days on my next trip to Luoyang.

The owner was so nice, so nice! 👍👍👍👍👍👍 Very satisfied! Very satisfied! He even helped us carry and deliver our luggage!! There was WiFi, free laundry service, a working TV, 24-hour hot water for showers, and he even recommended delicious food. The bed was also made perfectly (we messed it up when we first arrived). There was air conditioning. There were two free bottles of water and electric mosquito coils! OMG! !!! The owner was so nice!! This is the best hotel I've ever stayed in! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍I don’t want to go out in the hotel haha😊It can be said to be a hotel, not like a B&B (high-end like a hotel!👍👍)

I stayed in a guesthouse I absolutely loved. Location: It's a 5-minute walk from attractions (Luoyi Old Town) and the subway station. Plus, there are supermarkets, pharmacies, and restaurants all around, and the host provides a detailed introduction upon check-in. Room facilities: The room is spacious enough, and the facilities are well-maintained. Disposable items (bath towels, face towels) are plentiful and of good quality. The air conditioning kept the room very warm in this weather. Cleanliness: Super clean, even better than some more expensive hotels. Service: They go above and beyond to meet your needs, big or small, and answer all your questions. They even gave us a fridge magnet as a parting gift. In summary, this guesthouse has excellent facilities, and the hosts (a brother and sister) are incredibly kind and 'professional' in every sense of the word. I'll definitely recommend it to friends visiting Luoyang in the future. May the scenery of Luoyang bring renewed joy next spring.
