this is gonna be a full review and honest opinion based on my experience while i was here. im a female hijabi from malaysia. as someone who came here alone, i felt very very safe and comfortable while im staying here.
1. let’s start with the owner first.
fyi this stay is run by a mother and daughter. the owner is so sweet and very helpful 😭 couldn’t thank her enough. 🙏🏻 before i came here, i prayed to so hard that Allah will sent me good people to ease my journey in China, and He listened. for some reason, my Alipay and Wechatpay got problems to make payment. so i was really really hungry for the whole day because i couldn’t buy any food and i don’t have any cash. thankfully I still have my instant noodle, so i asked the owner if i could have a plastic bowl, that alone would be enough so i can eat. soon she came upstairs with 2 plastic bowl and 2 chopsticks. after that, i was trying to charge my phone but apparently my universal charger wasn’t universal-ing?? 💀 so i asked the owner again if she got any charger for me to borrow. and yes she even offered to sent it to my room. mind you my room was at the highest level of that building (lvl 5 if im not mistaken )😭 i feel bad but thankful at the same time. the next day, i finally solved my problems by using Touch n Go. thankfully that worked. since then i had trust issues with online payment, so i decided to exchange some RMB cash with the owner. fast forward she did helped me, and she found out that i was hungry 😭😭 look at the picture that i included if you wanna see. she gave me A BOX of food and some water 😭 . i don’t think you could get this kind of hospitality elsewhere 🥹 that’s how you know the owner actually cared for people who are staying with her. very thankful for that!! (forgot to include at the beginning, when i arrived there, the owner helped me to carry my luggage all the way to my room. no lift btw. she strong 💀🙏🏻)
2. now let’s talk about the room.
basically it’s a 5 star hotel room that is located far from shanghai with cheeeeaper price. amazing!! comfy bed, pretty lights, soft and high quality toothbrush, clean toilet with warm seats (very comfortable!!!), clean shower with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash provided in big sized bottle. there are steam iron for you to iron your clothes as well (can ask it from the owner, she’ll help you with that.) honestly i have nothing to complain. even the curtains are automatic. just come here and experience it yourself. i wish i could stay a little longer because of the bathtub 😞 and yeah don’t worry about *****. at first i was worried if the room was cheap because it’s ******* but nahh, i had fun!!
3. transportation.
they offer transfer service from train station to their hotel for 35 yuan/person. 140 yuan if you don’t want to share with others. if you’re heading back to the train station, the fare will depends on what time you’ll be going from the hotel. in my case, i have to check-out at 7:30AM since my train will depart at 09:50AM. its very early so fare costed me 60 yuan. so yeah if your train departs early then you should take note on this one. on the other hand, the owner will take you to wangxian valley for free (and return as well) which is very convenient.
4. food
don’t worry about food because there’s so many food you can get just by walking. i also saw some white tourists walking around and eat there. but a little heads up to muslim brothers/sisters, the only halal restaurant here is located inside the wangxian valley. so do yourselves a little favor, make sure you have enough food before you come here. as for drinks, you can get auntea jenny there by walking 🫶🏻🫶🏻
10/10!! it was really worth it!!
