「This has been an excellent experience. It really lives up to its name. The ladies in the lobby are super nice and treat you with free ice cream, tea and coffee. They really make you feel welcome.
The hotel is located in the new part of town, a bit far from the most scenic landscape, but literally in the bus station, which makes it convenient. If you are looking for accommodation in Yanjin, this is the only right place to stay.
I felt a bit overwhelmed when room service came with four people knocking at my door and standing there for several minutes when I tried to buy myself time to at least get dressed properly. So that would be room for improvement.
Is this high value for the money? Yes indeed. Would I stay here again? Absolutely.

「The hotel is located very close to North Yanjin Railway Station, which makes it very convenient. It is an older hotel, but it is well maintained, tidy and clean. We chose it because it is one of the few hotels located right by the river, and you can request a room with a river view, which is definitely worth it.
If you are a foreigner, be aware that communication can sometimes be a challenge. In my case, I spent almost an hour trying to explain that I was not American and did not need a visa to be in China, as they were reading my US visa instead of my nationality on my passport. Bringing a translator app and a lot of patience is highly recommended. Sometimes it is easier to add them on WeChat and communicate in writing.
This is a town that is not very used to receiving foreign tourists, so everything can be slower and people may seem surprised. That said, the staff are genuinely willing to help and do their best.
A tip for travellers going to Yanjin: there is not much information available online. Stay on this side of the city. Although it is the older area, it has all the charm and atmosphere of the town. The other side, near the bus station, is newer but farther away and lacks the same character.」
「Room was okay-ish clean (some hair and dirt was still on the floor). Considering the price, it's good value for money. Location is great, just a short walk over the bridge and you can find everything you need. Staff super friendly.」
