"This beautiful boutique hotel in the ancient city is a masterfully converted mansion that perfectly preserves the charm of a bygone era. Because it’s a historic property, amenities are a bit limited (our room had only one mirror). However, the service is outstanding. The staff are incredibly helpful and courteous—Crystal, Leo, and Cyndia especially impressed us and made our stay memorable"

"What a privilege to stay in such an old property with so much history. The room was a lovely size, very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was tasty too. We asked if we could have a train station pickup at the last minute and Alice sorted one for us.
Thank you to all at the hotel, they were all such lovely people."
"The owner and staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, particularly for the foreigner still learning the logistics of the digital financial system in China. Thank you!"
"The hotel is in an unbeatable location. The room was very nice, although the air conditioning unit’s mounting bracket could use some fixing. The bathroom was fine.
The highlights were the wonderful woman who runs the place and the hotel’s charming, traditional style, which has been very well maintained. The street it’s on is fantastic, and this town was my favourite of the 15 places I visited during my trip to China."
"Lots of thoughtful touches. Well appointed room, jasmine tea leaves with a tea service in the room. Extensive personal breakfast, with good coffee and choice of Western or Chinese option. Great location in the middle of ancient city - everything is happening outside your doors and yet peaceful courtyard. Free Pickup and drop off from train station was a nice service with courteous attention. Overall well run hotel and well appointed. Parting gift of intricately paper cut motifs.’"
