This is my second time visiting, and the experience is consistently excellent! 👍 The owner is incredibly warm and hospitable, and the service is top-notch. I'm very satisfied. You can see the owner's thoughtful touches everywhere: 1. The living room offers complimentary fruits and tea. 2. The flowers on the long table in the living room are fresh, making it a delight to look at. 3. The breakfast was unexpectedly rich and authentic Cantonese style, featuring many local Kaiping delicacies. The owner's family comes from a lineage of food connoisseurs, passed down through three generations – absolutely delicious!! 4. Upon arrival, the staff asked about any dietary restrictions. Since I don't eat green onions or garlic, they made sure my meals were prepared without them. 5. They even gave a small gift upon departure, which truly made for a thoughtful and pleasant trip. It's perfect for a two or three-day leisurely vacation, with great food, beautiful scenery, and a chance to relax and enjoy the slow pace of life.

I was upgraded to another Hotel. of the same group: Meitang Hotel. A brand new hotel with spectacular rooms and amenities. The STAFF is INCREDIBLE! They were all great and very helpful. Specially STEVE, a great member of the staff who speaks English and who helped me since with all the necessary informations (and translation!) to arrive to Chikan village. He helped me with the taxi driver when I arrived and when I departed. Great member of the staff! I am really thankful to all the help he gave me. Great experience.

1. Queuing at the hotel check-in counter. At the window near the boarding point, the customer ahead of me had a problem with their booking. Should the issue be escalated to a supervisor so other customers can be processed first? Instead, the staff member just stood there, ignoring the dozen or so customers behind them. There was no explanation (informing them the queue was blocked) and no prompt assistance to resolve the issue. Between 10 and 11 AM, the hotel was packed with check-in guests, yet only three windows were open? After waiting for over twenty minutes with no progress, I had to join another queue. The hotel requires facial recognition for check-in; could this be announced or mentioned at the entrance? A large family sent a representative, only to find out about the facial recognition requirement halfway through the process, requiring them to call someone over, significantly impacting efficiency. 2. Time saved on the journey was wasted on check-in. After arriving at the theater hotel by electric cart, I learned that currently, I could only store my luggage and get a performance reservation code; I wouldn't get my room key until 3 PM. During the Spring Festival, indoor performances could only be booked once a day (one of four options). I already knew this from the WeChat official account beforehand. Before my trip, I read in a travel guide that the hotel front desk could print an extra copy, but when I asked, they coldly said there was only one show per day. Later, I heard that the Jinxu Hotel front desk printed an extra copy for guests checking in at the same time. Is the hotel discriminating against guests and treating them differently based on their status? 3. The soundproofing in the balcony room was mediocre. There was no non-slip mat or shower slippers in the shower room. The queue for the fire show at the scenic area also poses a safety hazard; I hope the management will pay attention to this.

The hotel is located within the scenic area, and all hotels in this area are uniformly managed, assigned to individual hotel zones. Prices are generally similar. Since it wasn't a holiday, there weren't many people, making it a quiet and suitable place to bring children. The room was clean, but the price was a bit high.

This hotel, converted from a Diaolou (fortified multi-storey tower house), is very clean and has a great layout! More importantly, the service is excellent. It happened to be raining when we were going out, and the shuttle bus always arrived instantly when called! Xiao Xia at the front desk was also incredibly helpful, enthusiastically assisting us with our itinerary. Superb! The performances at this scenic area are also fantastic, very positive and inspiring. Shows are scheduled from morning till night, and every performer is dedicated!
