Linjianglou River View Boutique Hotel (Zhusheng Bridge Branch, Zhenyuan Ancient Town)

Choose carefully. The environment is just so-so, with very limited views. Definitely not worth the price!

Facilities: The facilities are complete, with a TV and air conditioning. Environment: The environment is good, with a whole street nearby, suitable for staying. The surroundings are beautiful. Service: The service is excellent, with daily cleaning and timely replenishment of anything missing. Highly recommended.

This hotel is conveniently located near Sifangjing in the heart of Zhenyuan Ancient Town. It boasts excellent facilities, including smart home controls throughout the room, giving it a very modern feel. It's easy to get anywhere from here, and there's even a self-service laundry in the basement. The service was great too; I was very satisfied.

This was my second stay here, and the owner was just as warm and welcoming as before, even offering pickup and drop-off service. The location is super convenient for food, drinks, and entertainment. My room had a balcony with a direct view of the Wuyang River, and I had a wonderfully relaxing time in the ancient town.

The hotel is located right in the ancient town, so the location is absolutely fantastic. It's really close to attractions like Qinglong Cave, the Museum, Zhusheng Bridge, and Mi Matou. We drove there, and the owner contacted us in advance to have us park our car in their designated parking lot. Then, a staff member came to pick us up in an electric cart to take us into the ancient town. The room was very new, spacious, and clean! Highly recommended!

The hotel is well-equipped with smart rooms that are thoughtfully designed to be comfortable and practical. The management is excellent, making guests feel right at home. The owner is also very accommodating, fulfilling special requests from travelers. The hotel's location is superb, right within the ancient town's pedestrian street, just a few minutes from major attractions, making transportation very convenient. There are tourist buses available from the bus and train stations, with a stop right outside the hotel, ensuring hassle-free arrivals and departures. Overall, everything is genuinely good, highly recommended.

I booked a double room with two 1.8-meter beds. The room was spacious, clean, and tidy, with smart devices throughout, which was very convenient. You can see the night view of Zhenyuan Ancient Town right from the balcony 🤓🤓. There's also a mini-fridge in the room, so you always have ice water, and the central air conditioning works exceptionally well 🤓🤓🤓.

The hotel's location is in the core area, making it very convenient to get to all attractions. However, it's not recommended for self-driving tourists or those with a lot of luggage, as vehicles are prohibited in the core area. The single room was very small and didn't face the river, and the room rate wasn't cheap during the summer. On the bright side, it had all the basic amenities. Because of the high number of guests, I wasn't able to get a room upgrade.

First of all, the host is very welcoming and will contact you proactively after you book. They are also willing to answer any local questions. Because the location is a bit tricky to find – you have to go through a small alley to the very back and then up to the 5th floor – the host will proactively contact you to help you find it. The cleanliness is so-so. There's a restaurant downstairs in the alley that emits a slight odor. There was also a strong musty smell when it rained. The bedding was visibly old and yellowed. There was also heavy limescale in the sink and bathroom. The location is excellent, in the center of Zhenyuan Ancient Town, near the Dachanggong (Big Factory) bus stop. However, private cars are mostly not allowed in Zhenyuan Ancient Town; you can only enter by local minibus (which is very small). So, those with a lot of luggage should consider this carefully. It's only a 5-minute walk to attractions like Zhusheng Bridge and Shiping Mountain, which is a plus. However, the building is quite old; the room I booked is in Building C, which doesn't have an elevator, and the hallways are narrow. Those with large luggage should choose this option with caution.
