Landscapes and Waters

I think it is the best location in Fenghuang, close to the river but in a quiet area. It is so great to enjoy the view from the balcony, a nice bridge just in front of you, the boat passing by and only 5-10 min walk to the ancient town. During check-in, everything went smoothly and very well. The lady gave me useful information about the room and the things I need to visit in the city. She even gave me a map. Perfect ! But, the room and the bathroom are not very practical. There is no space to put your personal effects. The bathroom is always wet. There is always water on the floor , and the shower is leaking from somewhere. There is a smart wc but no remote to control it. And I killed a cockroach the last morning, the first one I saw so far since 2 weeks in China. Many mosquitoes in the room, so close to the river they should install a mosquito net. And the heating doesn't work properly. It is always cold and humid in the room even if you push the heater at maximum. Fortunately, the heating blanket saved my nights. And last but not the least, I didn't see the staff for my whole stay. Only at check-in. This situation impacted my stay for 2 reasons. First, I exoected someone for checkout as I needed some help for my following destination. Second, if there was a staff present, maybe I wouldn't wake up at 3am in the middle of night because the room 203 next to mine did a party on a balcony. I was so furious. Worst night ever

The owner is very uncomplicated, friendly and helpful. The hotel is very well located, with a magical riverview at night (see the pictures I posted). In winter there was a heated blanket, which we enjoyed a lot! The only problem we encountered that at night some very bad smell came out of the bathroom, out of the pipes. An original thing is that there is a big bright sun-lamp on the wall, we also enjoyed it.

Very nice lady taking care of the place. She was generous in sharing her snacks and tea. A little troublesome carrying our heavy luggages from the road into the ancient town but she helped us to carry one luggage as well and was very pleasant and steadfast. Nice design of the room and had a lovely bathtub to soak in. The balcony view was superb but the entire town has lots of mozzies so prepare insect spray!!! Recommend to stay :-)

Enjoyed my stay.
