Located in a small alley, you’ll need to walk down some steps to get to this alley from 豹子灣 (Baoziwan Jetty). The hotel is in the quiet corner of FengHuang Old Town, the popular nightspots and pubs on the other end of the river. Our room is on the 4th floor (entrance and reception are located on the 2nd floor, bizarre) overlooking the river, giving magnificent views during the entire stay. Room is small, but comes equipped with a powerful air conditioning. Bathroom is a bit tricky as it is a step up, and the drainage is not very efficient, if you have the shower running for some time, there’s risk of water overflowing into the room.
Had someone received us at the main plaza after we took the taxi from train station. The inn was within a short walking distance which was great. Our room was at the top floor (stairs but very manageable) and street facing so we could watch the people passing by below which was fun…very clean and comfortable beds. Had a good night rest. We enjoyed staying at least one night to explore the ancient town. A pity the inn doesn’t have laundry set up for guest use but the owner was kind to let us use their washing machine, much appreciated.

This place is actually nice, very clean and inside everything is modern and quite new.
No English at all whatsoever, but staff is highly careful and helpful via wechat translations.
The location is really great, just right in the scenic area. The view from the room is wow. After a day exploring the city grab a bottle of something from the convenience store and enjoy it on the balcony (very few restaurants have red wine, the bars are just a few and the prices for drinks if you are not a beer person are extremely overpriced).
In the evening it is quite noisy from the bars around but around 22:30-23:00 it will get quiet. Also city lights are turned off after midnight. You’ll sleep well.
Ask taxi to stop at the Hongqiao gate, then there are few minutes walk. In the scenic area no cars are allowed, streets are paved with rough stones so dragging a heavy luggage can be sketchy. There is no lift, so you’ll do your workout for the day.
The old city is nice exploring on foot, so a full day is to be spent here to enjoy everything. Recommend also the Phoenix park nearby the Tourist Center (it’s also the hotel with the same name).

Amazing boutique hotel located in the center of Fenghuang old town, with amazing staff and great luxurious atmosphere! ❤️
The room was very spacious, beautifully decorated and with all modern amenities. Everything was incredibly clean and felt brand new. Our highlights were the comfy bedsheets and the elegant bathtub, which were the perfect end after a long day of traveling! Breakfast in the morning comes as a set menu of Chinese typical breakfast dishes, including noodle soup , dim sum, fresh fruit, all tasty and made fresh. In case you are too lazy to wake up early, in the room there is available a nice selection of local teas and coffee free of charge.☺️
The location of the hotel is very convenient, as it is central to the old town and yet away from the noise of the crowds and bars which stay opened until late ar night. All main points of interest are easily reachable by foot within 5 minutes.
A special mention goes to the family staff who went above and beyond to meet our request! They not only helped us organize car transfer from and to the train station, (including carrying our luggage to the main road since in the old town no cars are allowed), but also to book tickets to the nearby attractions, give us restaurant recommendations, and even provide heating machine for the room.
We cannot recommend enough this hotel for anybody who wants to spend a great relaxing time in Fenghuang old city. They surely know how to make a guest feel pampered for the whole stay!

A Mixed Bag in Fenghuang.
My stay in Fenghuang offered a blend of excellent hospitality and comfort with some notable drawbacks. On the positive side, the staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to be helpful, which truly enhanced the experience. The room itself was a haven of comfort; the beds and linens were top-notch, and the couch and desk provided a truly comfortable and functional space. The hotel's location was absolutely perfect, placing us right in the vibrant heart of Fenghuang's action. We also enjoyed a cool view from our room.
However, there were a few significant points of caution for future travelers. While we could connect to the Wi-Fi, there was no actual data connection, rendering it effectively useless for internet access. A more concerning issue was the pervasive and foul sewer smell that intermittently filled the room, particularly late at night. It wasn't constant, but when it appeared, it was quite strong and unpleasant.
Regarding the view, I had assumed from photos that the hotel was directly on the river. In reality, it's set back about a block, meaning you have to look over some dilapidated buildings to see the river. I suspect lower floors might not have any river view at all. Adding to this, as of May 2025, there's a pretty large construction project occurring just a few meters from the front of the balconies, which could impact the ambiance and noise levels for some guests.
Overall, if you prioritize comfort, a central location, and friendly service, this hotel has a lot to offer. Just be prepared for potential Wi-Fi issues, the intermittent sewer smell, and manage your expectations regarding the river view and nearby construction.

When we are young, we strive to grow and fly to a farther world; When we were young, we struggled in a distant city made of reinforced concrete; Searching for a home in reinforced concrete and longing for one's hometown; Perhaps from childhood to old age, we are just on our way home, crossing mountains and seas, and crossing the steel and concrete of the city; We will eventually arrive at our hometown. Returning to the homestay, walking through the century old bluestone alleyway on an empty morning to admire the ancient town's century old appearance by the Tuojiang River, and listening to the ferryman's singing; Pick up the backpack and go to the rural market to see the leisurely lifestyle of the Miao and Tujia people; Enjoy the dazzling lights of the ancient city as dusk falls; Have a drink with music in the lobby or balcony on the first floor, and a lamp in your hometown lights up for you at night. On this journey back home, may you feel at ease and happy, change the scene and talk to yourself in a way that allows you to see mountains, water, and nostalgia. This is your hometown.

The hotel name says it all.
Amazing views from the hotels front rooms.
Staff incredibly helpful.
Lots of stairs everywhere in and around main attractions so might not suit everyone, but if it's not a problem for you then staying here is a bit like living in a dream come true.
Fenghuang's historic Tower is 50 metres away, and boat rides are a minute further along.
Countless authentic restaurants are within 5-10 minutes away and my favourite Luckin Coffee shop was a minute along from the Rainbow Bridge.
There's a vibrant night life so music from many bands blares across the river from 7pm to 11pm. I was so worn out from days of exploring that I never noticed and fell asleep quickly on the room's massive and comfortable king sized bed.
I experienced near perfect weather over 2.5 days and can say that Fenghuang was a much better overall experience than either Lijiang or Dali's very popular ancient towns.

Great location, river view, beautiful at night. The downside is too noisy from people walking on the ground floor, surrounding bar. Suggest to sealed the window to prevent the noise. Shower is broken hence water not only came out from the faucet its also from the fuse, it should be fixed. Lao ban niang so friendly and they gave 1 free Miao jia dress so you can wear it and take a photo, additional charge for the headband and makeup. Overall is quite good stay as its only for a night

GGuest User2025.05.15
The hotel is located on the side of the river, just in front of the tower, which is one of the main sights in Fenghuang. It's close to everything, and very convenient for sightseeing.
The downside of being just in the center of everything, is that the river facing rooms are noisy. There's a bar with live music just downside, and a lot of people passing by. But music stops around 11:30pm, so it's not too bad (they have plenty of ear plugs at the reception if needed). And the view from the balcony is great.
The room has all the modern amenities (which I was not expecting in an old town, but was very welcome) and is clean. But the best part is the staff, who were super nice and helpful too. They have great advice for visits, can help with all the tickets and bookings needed, efficient, and with good recommendations.
Warmly recommended.

GGuest UserThe location is right by Hongqiao in the ancient town, making it very convenient for dining, entertainment, and sightseeing. Despite this, it is very quiet at night—the soundproof windows ensure complete silence. The mattress and pillows are extremely comfortable, and the smart toilet with heating is a great touch. A particularly thoughtful detail is the provision of disposable toilet seat covers and bath towels, which make the stay feel extra hygienic. The air conditioning is also very comfortable and warm.
The owner arrived early to meet us at the drop-off point, and his wife carefully explained the ancient town’s map—not just pointing in a general direction but providing a thorough and detailed explanation, which was a big plus. The couple is so kind, gentle, and polite. Whenever we had any questions, the owner responded promptly. Overall, it was an excellent experience.
LLinsanity-26The room decoration style is very unique, with a medieval style, elegant and quiet environment, and an excellent geographical location, right by the ancient city Tuojiang River. Compared with the upstream environment, it is more comfortable and suitable for living. The back door is directly connected to the Yunqiao Bridge, which is very convenient for travel. The front door hall is the ancient city riverside stone street. There is an ancient well next to the homestay, which is the Phoenix First Spring, and there is also a Meritorious Pavilion. Since the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, it has been the official road for nobles to dismount and enter the city. The couple who run the homestay are warm and kind, very kind!
CChoycpsService was great! The host offered free transfers from the train station and they helped with our luggage as cars are not allowed to be driven into the hotel area. Location is great as it is walking distance to eateries and shopping area.
The room has a really nice view of the entire ancient city and it is very clean. The host was very friendly and recommended places for us to go to.
GGuest UserThe environment is very good, the scenery is beautiful, and parking is convenient! Breakfast is made immediately in the kitchen, the soy milk is delicious~~ The noodles are also delicious~ The children finish a big bowl of noodles every morning! There is also Tremella soup in the evening~ The first night the lady in the store waited for us until very late, so cold to pick us up in the parking lot, really thank you~ It was an experience beyond expectations~ Recommended!
GGuest UserHighly recommend this space to anyone
This was the perfect trip and stay!
The host was incredibly friendly and helpful.
I don’t speak Chinese, but the host was incredibly kind and used a translation app to communicate, making everything so easy. He even upgraded my room for free!
The room was spotless, spacious, and wonderfully quiet—such a peaceful place to relax.
The location was super convenient, just a short distance from Phoenix Town and the bus station. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
AAshleyThis city is beautiful on the water, but beware of mosquitoes!
I personally would stay no more than one night. You pay for the great location - right on the river and by all the hustle and bustle. The party does not stop at 10pm - I swear it was loud outside until 2am and you definitely hear it.
The room we chose (with a large patio) was extremely small and cramped. We couldn't enjoy our patio during the summer because there were so many mosquitoes at the door. We left a mosquito-repellant incense at the patio door and that helped a little, but we didn't dare having tea outside like we originally wanted.
The hotel also didn't feel secure. Our room was by the back door, which stayed open for most hours of the day. It was very convenient to get to our room, but the open door felt like a safety hazard. They said that they would close it at midnight, but that is too late for my comfort.
Service was okay at best. They tried contacting us before we arrived but we don't have a Chinese phone number. Responses through WeChat were a bit slow during some hours, and sometimes the front desk was empty. Perhaps we were just unlucky. The morning we left, the manager lady seemed the most competent and warm, but everyone else was a bit lackluster.
The room is old, and the bathroom has rusting metal. Toiletries were at least covered the essentials. No welcome snacks, but at least there were two bottles of water. Is it bad for us to expect more at the price we're paying? Among all the high end hotels we stayed at during our trip at this price point, this was the least impressive by far. The hotel pictures felt misleading on terms of quality and cleanliness.
GGuest UserWe had such a delightful experience at this homestay that we chose to optimise our stay the next morning. Opened in 2023/24, the property is impressively well-maintained. Guests were treated to complimentary transportation to or from the train station, and a gift was presented during the stay.
Every staff member—from the front desk to the versatile breakfast cook to the driver—was exceptionally friendly and courteous.
We were particularly touched by Mr Chen, who generously offered his free time for a complimentary tour of the ancient town, his hometown, prior to his afternoon shift. He also extended his photography service during the two-hour-long tour. We couldn’t be more grateful for his kindness and hospitality as he declined our tip. The homestay operator is fortunate to have such a dedicated and welcoming team member.
Areas for improvement:
(a) Install an iron in the laundry area to enhance guest convenience.
(b) Place cleanliness reminder labels in the breakfast area to encourage guests to use new/clean tableware for second helpings.
(c) Label food items, especially local specialties like vermicelli.
XXiaoleyuanThe B&B is near Wuqiao and easy to find. You can take a taxi to Wuqiao and cross the Wuqiao directly after getting off the taxi. It is not far from the side. The room is very artistically decorated. There is a balcony outside where you can sit and enjoy the scenery. The sliding door of the balcony is very soundproof. After closing it, you can hardly hear the noise outside and have a quiet sleep. The bed is very comfortable, the toilet is electric, and it is clean and tidy. The water in the water heater is not too hot, and everything else is perfect.
Ppeibin limThe hotel is very conveniently located near Hong bridge and accessible to many good restaurants. Scenery is particularly good from the hotel room balcony. The AI room keeper is very interesting to talk to and the projector screen TV is very good. A lot of hot water for shower and drinking water is also provided. Room is very cosy and comfortable. Even though across the river were some noisy restaurants, it did not affect our sleep after closing the sliding door to the balcony. Service is very good. Our laundry was done and the owner arranged for a taxi pick up to send us off. Highly recommended to all visitors to Fenghuang ancient town.
GGuest UserThe hotel was situated right alongside the river. The town is beautiful, at day it is somewhat quiet and at night there is a vibrant atmosphere. The staff was really friendly and helped me with the boat ticket and multiple admission ticket for the highlights of the city. For an non native it was not really interesting to see the houses of famous Chinese persons, but it was nice to see the nice houses and museum.
