No regrets spending a night in Shaxi — especially at this wonderful guest house!
The owners both are friendly locals who love to chat and happy to share stories about the people and history of this charming town. The room was spacious, clean, and I absolutely loved the scent of the bath gel they provided!
If there had been a bidet spray, it would’ve been 100% perfect for Malaysian travelers — haha. Still, it was a great stay overall!

Our stay was absolutely wonderful!
The room was incredibly cozy and comfortable, and the host was so friendly and helpful.
We especially loved the delicious breakfast.
This hotel truly felt like a home away from home and made our trip extra special.

Shaxi Grain House
I had a wonderful time staying here. My room was very clean and comfortable. The toiletries, bathrobes, slippers, hairdryer, bed linen were of high-quality. You also get two bottles of water daily.The room was spacious with a full-sized sofa to lounge on. There was also a tatami mat by the window that was great to lay down on after a busy day. You can turn on the overhead shower heat lamp that keeps you warm after you turn off the shower.
Breakfast is a delicious bowl of noodles with a hard boiled egg, corn and coffee (Americano or latte). There is outdoor seating where you can help yourselves to walnuts, melon seeds and fruit. Great way to socialize.
The location is perfect. Close enough to the main street but away from the noise.
The owners are warm, friendly and helpful. They are a good resource for information on activities in Shaxi, including transportation. They arranged for us to take a seven seater business van to Dali at 20% of the price of a taxi. We look forward to staying here again in the future.
Tip: As no cars are allowed in the Ancient Town, you have to ask your taxi driver to drop you off at Benzhu temple (本主寺)where the owners will help you with your luggage. Do contact them before you arrive.

The location is excellent, so near to the main street of the old town, yet is quietly tucked in a little alley away from the hustle and bustle. It is a new place so I like that everything is clean and new. The room is so spacious and comfortable and the yard is so inviting to just sit and chill with the hosts and other guests. Stayed in many different types of accommodation as I traveled, but this is a stay that is home away from home for me especially when I’m staying for 8 nights. The breakfast is simple and homely, a warm bowl of goodness freshly prepared when you want it. And when I want a change coz don’t want to keep repeating the same for 8 days, they were so accommodating. I think the warmth experienced from this stay might have made me fall more in love with this town. I truly appreciate the service from the heart, and I guessed that is what made the stay so unforgettable.

The hotel is located in the heart of Shaxi Ancient City, yet tucked away from the main pedestrian streets. This offers the convenience of walking to major attractions while avoiding the noise and crowds. The room is spotlessly clean, equipped with brand-new facilities, and the owners are incredibly kind and welcoming. Highly recommended.
