Jianchuan Hotels with Parking

I stayed here for four or five days straight, and it was truly wonderful! The shower had a huge overhead rainfall showerhead with great water pressure, and the room's soundproofing was excellent. Every morning, the landlady would prepare a lovely breakfast. The entire building probably only has six or seven rooms. There were too many people taking photos in the scenic area, so I ended up taking all my pictures downstairs at the guesthouse – they turned out great! The owner can offer pick-up and drop-off to Shaxi Ancient Town (it's very close), or you can use the guesthouse's electric scooter for free. The hotel's location is convenient for getting anywhere, and there's also free parking for cars, which was a lifesaver since we drove all the way from Dali Airport!

Facilities: Everything at the new guesthouse is new, especially the owner's thoughtful touch – they even installed screens on the doors. Crucially, there's parking available right outside, although the alley leading in is narrow, which might be a little inconvenient for first-time drivers. However, the parking lot is large; the owner is generous, making such a spacious parking lot in such a prime location. Cleanliness: Extremely clean, meticulously maintained. Environment: The common areas are so inviting, you don't want to leave, just watching the fish and the sky – very comfortable. It's also not far from the stage in Shaxi Ancient Town. Service: The service is incredibly warm and welcoming, from the older staff to the owners. However, perhaps they're too enthusiastic; some of the more boisterous guests, especially children, get quite loud in the mornings. It would be helpful to ask them to be a little quieter, as their loud voices in the courtyard can disturb resting guests. This could be improved; a gentle reminder is helpful for dealing with noisy children early in the morning. I won't elaborate further; just look at the pictures. It's definitely worth a visit.

The fact that the house itself is a historical site pales in comparison to the hotel's service. It's clear they strive for perfection. The toiletries provided are the same as those in Bulgari hotels, and they even offer more daily essentials like a backup power bank, sunglasses, sunscreen, a sun umbrella, and a travel bag. I was also quite surprised to find a whole sea cucumber in the rice noodles served for breakfast 😄. Most importantly, it's the service mindset. Service in Yunnan is generally unrefined; even the famous 'Yang X Ping Art Hotel' offers a very rustic kind of service. This is the only place where I've experienced boutique hotel-level service.

The B&B's location is excellent, just one or two hundred meters from Yujin Bridge and Shaxi's East Gate. They recommend great places to eat and fun things to do in Shaxi. Breakfast is very generous, with both Chinese and Western options. The complimentary travel photography session was done in the ancient town, and the photographer was fantastic! The free Jaima experience was also great. The staff's service made us feel right at home, and they even brought us sweet soup every evening. Overall, it's a B&B with great value for money!

This guesthouse has a story to tell. There's a 530-year-old ancient tree right by the entrance, home to a family of squirrels. As soon as I entered the room, I found a pair of chestnut-dyed cloth squirrels placed on the bed. Lying on the third-floor bed, the old tree glowed with life under the setting sun. The indigo-dyed soft couch on the terrace made me fall in love with Yunnan's sunshine, and the abundant flowers and plants everywhere showed the owner's passion for life. The guesthouse manager and the young lady's tea and dishes were unforgettable; that elegant, down-to-earth charm makes me want to return to this place again and again.

The inn is very quiet, the surrounding countryside is very beautiful, parking is convenient, and it is very convenient to go to the ancient town and Pioneer Bookstore!

I'm already home but still thinking about my three days in Shaxi!!! 1. Location + Parking 🅿️: The guesthouse was very easy to find, and since we drove, we wanted a place with parking. There's a small road in front of the guesthouse where you can park, which was very convenient 😊. 2. Ambiance: As soon as we stepped out of the car and entered, we were pleasantly surprised. It's a very comfortable and stylish courtyard. When we didn't go out, sitting in the courtyard and having some tea was incredibly relaxing. I also loved the room's decor – it was clean, hygienic, and had a subtle, pleasant aroma. There were small tables and chairs outside the room where we could relax. 3. Service: The guesthouse owner, the front desk lady, and the auntie were all super nice and enthusiastic. They gave us great tips for exploring the ancient town, and their daily greetings felt like catching up with old friends. (The breakfast was really delicious!) There's also a super cute cat named Huanhuan at the guesthouse!!!! So spiritual!! And very friendly!!! Every time I came back, I'd look for the cat first, haha!!! Overall, it was a very happy and relaxing trip! If I get a chance to visit Shaxi again, I'll definitely stay here again 🥰.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Shaxi Guichen Boutique Homestay, and it easily exceeded expectations in many aspects. First and foremost, the hospitality here truly stands out. The landlady was incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. She went out of her way to introduce nearby attractions and local spots, which made exploring Shaxi much easier and more meaningful. She also helped us arrange an e-bike rental, which turned out to be one of the best ways to get around and discover the surrounding areas. The room itself was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. Cleanliness is clearly a top priority here, with many guests highlighting the same consistently high standards, often comparing it to much higher-end properties . The bed was cozy, and the overall environment made it very easy to relax and unwind after a day out. The homestay has a very charming and quaint atmosphere, especially at night. The courtyard and surroundings give off a peaceful, almost storybook-like vibe that really adds to the overall experience. It’s located just a short distance from Shaxi Ancient Town, making it convenient while still being quiet and away from the crowds. Many reviews also mention the easy access to the old town and nearby attractions, whether by short ride or walk . What I really appreciated is that Shaxi itself has so much to explore beyond just the main old town. From scenic countryside rides to hidden spots and cultural sites, there’s plenty to do if you’re willing to venture out—and this homestay is a great base for it. Overall, this is a beautifully run boutique homestay with exceptional service, great comfort, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Shaxi, and I would definitely return again.

It was super convenient to get back to the hotel after exploring the ancient town. The design is really impressive, with a natural wood and Song Dynasty-inspired aesthetic that perfectly matches Shaxi's rustic charm. The courtyard with its flowing water, wooden corridors, and the gentle, Zen-like atmosphere as soon as you open the door is just lovely 🍃. The room was spacious and comfortable, the bedding was so soft, and the bathroom facilities were convenient and clean. After a shower, curling up in bed and watching 'Meet Yourself' just melted away all the day's fatigue. There's 24-hour butler service and afternoon tea upon check-in – sipping tea, listening to the wind, and watching the fish play in the pond amidst the misty atmosphere was truly relaxing 🐟. Waking up early, enjoying breakfast, and then just gazing out the window at the scenery, listening to the wind and rain, is truly living that slow-paced 'wind-filled' life.

The environment is very good, not far from the ancient town of Shaxi, very quiet, more comfortable than living in the ancient town, the bed in the room is very comfortable and the sheets are very comfortable, and the design feels very careful. Very recommended, the landlord’s aunt is also very good!
