Xiaojin Hotels with Airport Shuttle

"Location of this hotel is great - stone's throw away from the bus drop off and entrance to Shuangqio valley, and on the less busy side of things. The room was reasonable. The reason for my low rating is what I feel is low value for money. The price I paid for this hotel room is a premium for this area - around 50% to more than double the price of hotels in the area and hotels a little bit further along but with excellent amenities, luxurious fittings and breathtaking views. I planned to splurge for our single night stay here and thought the room here would be special. The view of the rive is a view, but it is not spectacular. Unlike many of the other hotels, the window isn't a floor to ceiling or wide window either. The amenities provided are minimal for the price, perhaps it is usual to this area, but compared to other hotels I have stayed in China, it didn't have a laundry room, no welcome drink or evening drink. Service was as needed - we would need to ask for information, and the answers given are efficient. I came down one evening to ask about something and couldn't find anyone at the front desk or anywhere. Eventually located them behind in the dark. This was around 9pm. The restaurant food was ok, but again, the service was as needed. They recommended the hotpot, served us the hotpot and never came back again to check on us. I had to keep walking to them to ask for things. And the staff were having conversations loudly on phones and with each other.. They actually forgot about us and switched off the lights on us. Breakfast spread was sufficient, but again, service was as per needed. No tea option possible - if you don't drink coffee or milk, your only option is sweetened soymilk. The room was fine, and the location was great. I am just more critical because we paid a premium, and didn't appear to get very much more compared to rooms we could have gotten for much less at a similar location."

"The owner and the staff are fantastic. They are very friendly and helpful. They do their best to help with any kind of question. The location is in walking distance to the center, even to the tourist center of Haizi and Changping valley (we did walk couple of times). We stayed 5 nights in total and we enjoyed our stay. We always had dinner at the hotel. We didn’t need to go anywhere else. All food was very delicious with local flavours."
