The best advantage of this small hotel is the location which is in the centre of the ancient city and only a few minutes walk to the famous Chaozhou ancient bridge. It is a restored historic building, one storey high and very quaint and quirky. It was very clean and all amenities worked well. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. One should note that the rooms are very small and the taxis cannot drop you at the hotel. Still, it was only a 4-minute walk to the hotel from the vehicular street. The hotel does not serve breakfasts but there are plenty of cafes and street food in the ancient city. The room was fine for a solo traveller for a weekend but if a couple, or staying longer than a weekend, I suggest booking a larger room in this hotel.

A lovely boutique hotel with Chinese style rooms. Good location on a quiet side road in Chaozhou old town. The staff is very friendly and welcoming.

A beautiful old style traditional courtyard building, now a hotel on an alley very near to paifang street and Kaiyuan temple. The staff are very friendly and one lady speaks very good English. My only criticism is the courtyard room I was in had a double bed with just about enough room for a big guy like myself to struggle round. I travelled on my own so it would have been more suitable with a single bed with more room around it.

This is a boutique hotel located right inside the tourist precint near Guangji bridge. As taxis are not permitted inside the area you need to find and walk to the hotel yourself. You can easily lose your way as there are no obvious road signs and the hotel is located in a small laneway. So for tourists make sure you have a handy map app like Amap (Lingo map) to help you find the way. The room is very compact and there is a shared outside area for tea making and hot water.
Response from Property: Hello, thanks for making reservation at Zaiyang Inn. Well, as you know, the location of our hotel is very nice, right near most of the scenic spots of Chaozhou, also all kinds of Chaozhou delicilous food are around here, you can just go these places on foot. Even though our hotel is at the center of Chaozhou ancient city, tourists are still possible to arrive near our hotel by taxi. very near, just 2 minutes walk to our hotel when you get off the taxi. Next time when you come here, you could contact with us forward, we will tell you the most convenient way to get to our hotel. To be honest, we don't know you telephone no. and we can't contact with you before you come here, we also feel sorry about it.Any way, welcome to here next time, thank very much for your comment

Staying here again after eleven years, it feels so memorable. The inn is quaint and has a great location. You can walk to Paifang Street in just two minutes. The butler at the front desk has a great service. He personally went out to greet us and took us to the nearby parking lot for free. He also informed us of the attractions and food in Chaozhou. Next time I come to Chaozhou, I will definitely choose Zaiyang Inn again.

The room was very clean! The water pressure is very good! The air conditioning is top notch. The courtyard is lit with yellowish lights at night, which makes it very atmospheric. It’s great to read a book and eat some fruits! I saw it was an old house being renovated, so I was a little worried. But going there is very different.
In addition, it is in a small volume, opposite to private houses, so it is very safe. As soon as Xiaojuan came out, it was already a lively archway street. Almost all attractions in the ancient city can be reached within 15 minutes. Very convenient😊

The inn is in a good location, right inside the archway street, and it is convenient to go out for food and several attractions. The service staff is also very nice, and will give you friendly tips. You can also drink tea and chat in the lobby.
However, the infrastructure of the homestay is still not as good as that of the hotel. Cleanliness and hot water are basically satisfactory, but the bed is too hard, I suspect it is a hard bed board 😭😜, I can't get used to it, and other things are not very important. I hope the boss can improve it.

The house is right in the ancient city. If you take a taxi, you can only get here outside the ancient city. It takes a while to drag the luggage in. Because it is an ancient house, the area is relatively small, so the room area is also small, and there is no place to put the luggage. However, it is relatively close to the attractions!

The inn is located in Zaiyang Lane in the ancient city of Chaozhou. The location is very good. Whether you want to go to the delicious Xima Road, or Paifang Street and Guangji Bridge, you can easily walk there. The inn is an old house with an ancient flavor. The gate, door lock, architectural layout and decoration are full of traditional flavor. Chaozhou people like to drink tea. There are tea sets in many places in the inn. The tea is the famous local Dancong. It is very leisurely to make tea by yourself. It is difficult for children to see such traditional courtyards and objects. I am very happy!

The quaint courtyard is an old house with many old objects inside. It is very close to Archway Street. It is very convenient to go out to eat. The only regret is that the room booked this time is a bit small. The staff has a very good attitude and enthusiastically helped us. Solve the problem.

Response from Property: Hello, thank you for your 5-point review! Zaiyang Inn was restored from a courtyard in the Qing Dynasty, and the layout remains unchanged. The ancients emphasized that rooms should be small to gather Yang energy, so the rooms in the inn are relatively small. However, staying in a B&B is to experience a kind of local culture and folk customs. This special experience cannot be experienced in a hotel. Welcome to come again next time
