Yan'an Hotels with Breakfast

Little Swallow B&B is the best location in the surrounding B&Bs, the nearest to the Ganquan Grand Canyon Visitor Center and the bus stop. The visitor center on the left side of the yard door and the bus stop on the right will not let you walk out of 50 steps. Other homestays are not far from the side, which is very convenient. The yard is spacious and parking is convenient. The room is spacious and bright, and the hygiene is: the mattress is clean and the general hygiene is OK. There is a restaurant, it is convenient to eat, and the taste is not bad. The proprietress is very capable and enthusiastic, and can help buy tickets and tickets with discounts. The Grand Canyon is very beautiful, the photos are very good, and the place that love photography must not be missed.

The room was clean and well-equipped. The front desk staff provided excellent service, and there was even someone dedicated to assisting with the elevator. Uncle Bao'an, in particular, was fantastic – helping with luggage and directing parking. The hotel's location is superb, with Pagoda Mountain to the left and Qingliang Mountain to the right as you exit, making it very convenient for getting around.

I had a booking and was already checked in. Around midnight, I received a call asking if I was staying at the hotel, which woke me up. Then, past 1 AM, they arranged for new guests to check in right next to my room. This scared my child and me in the middle of the night! The front desk couldn't even explain the situation clearly when I called them. I couldn't get any sleep the entire night!!

I picked this hotel as a jump-off point to visit Guanquan Canyon and Jingbian Wave Valley. It's located in Baota district of Yan'an. The location is great as it's only five minutes walk from the Yan'an High Speed Railway Station. Even if you have big luggage like mine, it's still manageable walk to the hotel. The hotel reception was wonderful. One of the girls, unfortunately I didn't take her name, was extremely helpful and tried hard to retrieve the packages I ordered to the hotel from several storage locations for me. It shows that she was dedicated to her job to assist guests without complaints. Breakfast is available and included in my reservation. It's standard Chinese breakfast. They even provided warm orange juice which I surprisingly like. The hotel has a self-service laundry room with free detergent. This is a great plus for me. The only complain I may have is, although this is not a unique situation in China, the stinkiness of cigarette smoking in the room and corridor. Thankfully it's March when I visited as I had to close window as cigarette smell came through the window. This is very unfortunate indeed.

The courtyard is wonderfully comfortable, filled with both flowers and fresh produce. The owners are exceptionally warm, welcoming, and diligent. They prepare delicious meals using ingredients freshly picked from their own garden, which includes tomatoes, cucumbers, winter melon, daylilies, bitter greens, watermelons, Chinese melon, and a variety of other fruits and vegetables. We arrived on Friday for the weekend, and it even rained, creating a delightfully cool breeze in the courtyard. The expansive views offered a panoramic vista of the unique Loess Plateau landscape. We definitely plan to return in the autumn with our children and parents for another stay.

The hotel is newly opened. Although Pagoda Mountain is across the street, you have to take a taxi (minimum fare) to get to the revolutionary site of Pagoda Mountain. Taxis are very convenient for getting to all revolutionary sites in Yan'an, so don't even think about walking. Our room, 502, faced the railway tracks, and the rumbling noise did disturb our sleep. There were only two sets of laundry equipment, so you had to queue if it was busy. The self-service breakfast was decent for the price, but there were many tour groups, and it was hard to find a seat during peak hours. The free hotel shuttle service could be improved. It would be helpful to inform guests beforehand that they need to take the escalator down at Yan'an Station to the ride-hailing pick-up point, and that drop-off at the station is only on the opposite side of the road, to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. Overall, this hotel is still acceptable, and drinking water is freely available.

The stay experience exceeded expectations. It is a highly recommended quality hotel. Special thanks to the housekeeper for her meticulous service. When she found out that we brought children with us, she took the initiative to prepare extra toiletries. The quality is very good and very high-end! The front desk was very professional during check-in and check-out, and upgraded our room, which was very cost-effective.

We booked the Hanting Hotel for our trip to Hukou Waterfall with our child. The room was clean and bright, the bedding was so comfortable that our child fell asleep immediately, and the heating was so strong it felt like the warm sunshine of northern Shaanxi had been brought into the room. Surprisingly, the hotel had a screen mirroring feature, which was very nice! There's a local food street downstairs, and the hotel breakfast was quite good, with noodles and steamed buns, which our child enjoyed very much. The lobby was spacious and airy, making it a comfortable place for our family to wait for our bus and relax. Our comfortable stay made the view of Hukou Waterfall even more spectacular! Especially considering its proximity to Hukou, it's the perfect hotel for a trip to Hukou.

This is an old hotel; the lobby looks nice, but that's about it. What we needed were comfortable guest rooms. Overall, the room facilities were outdated. The first room was dimly lit upon entering, as it relied on auxiliary lighting; only one of the spotlights was working. The door lock was broken. We called the front desk, and they said there were no rooms available but we could change rooms. After we asked to go upstairs to check, they said we could change rooms. The second room was better lit but still dimly lit. Our child said it felt very oppressive and uncomfortable. We thought we'd just make do. My husband wanted to boil water to sterilize the kettle, but found that the kettle plug had only two prongs instead of three, and the socket was broken. We moved it to another location, but it was still broken. For safety reasons, we had to put up with it. We finally got hot water for our child in the lobby the next day after checking out. The experience was terrible!

Very good location, nice fancy hotel. I strongly recommend to book a room on Trip in advance, because the prices are higher, if you book at the reception. Shops and restaurants nearby.
