    The guesthouse was very beautiful, the rooms are clean and the young lady hosting us was very friendly. The free laundry service was great, and the house dog super cute! Location is in the heart of a bustling old town. Couldn’t be happier with our decision to stay here.

    The hostel is very well located very close to East gate. It is at the end of a small alley so it is very quiet. Also not far from the bus station for Xizhou and Shuanglang. The host was friendly and very helpful with downloading maps and sending me directions and recommendations for places to visit. The room was clean and comfortable and had everything needed!

    It is a great hostel if you are fine with squat toilets only. Apart from that, I had a pleasant stay. There are two nice common areas to hangout. Location is close to the old town. The owner was also really helpful, she helped me to find a place to rent a bike and gave me recommendations on what to do.

    The guest house is charming: traditional with a courtyard and garden with spacious, comfortable rooms. It is in a quiet, convenient location, just a couple of minutes from the main shopping street. Breakfast was cooked personally by the manager and was fresh, delicious and ample. The manager was always smiling, friendly and helpful. We stayed there for about 12 days so we were happy and relaxed there.
