We spent a night at Guilaitang, and it was a wonderful experience. During off-peak season, we were the only guests, and the owners graciously upgraded our room for free. The room was fantastic, though it was a bit chilly at night, we were still comfortable.
The hotel is located a bit farther from the main Shaxi ancient town, but the owners were incredibly accommodating, offering to drive us to and from the town whenever we needed. The surrounding area is mostly agricultural, which I’m sure looks even more picturesque during the right season. Even in winter, it was still quite beautiful.
Overall, it was an exceptionally pleasant stay. The room was clean, and the owners were incredibly hospitable. You can even pre-order dinner and enjoy a delicious home-cooked meal right at the hotel, so you don’t have to venture into the ancient town for food. I’m so glad we chose this place—it offers a peaceful escape from the everyday hustle and bustle, and it's a place where you can truly unwind.
宿全体は非常に洗練され、清潔で静かで、多くのかわいい植物が植えられ、屋上と研究室があり、休憩、読書、お茶を飲むことができます。上司は非常に熱心で、超活発な愛する人々の美しさがあります。宿からShaxi Ancient Town、半島コーヒー、Shibao Mountainに行くのはとても便利です。全体的にリラックスするのに最適な場所、家族や友人は非常に満足しています。
JJKLHThe Inn is so lovely and exquisite. Our room is so cozy, clean and well decorated. A very thoughtful owner who pays alot of attention in all the small details in the room. Comfortable bed, nice shower gel and shampoo, also a nice scented bag on the bed to sooth your sleep. We love the beautiful lovely garden and courtyard. The owner, Joyce, is so helpful and nice. She helped to arrange for our logistics even though she was on overseas holiday when we called her. So happy that we managed to meet her and had a good chat before we left Shaxi. Joyce also shared travel tips with us for our next holiday destination. We are so happy that we managed to go to the Friday morning market before we depart. Shaxi is a calm and beautiful town. We definitely come back to stay the next time for a longer period to enjoy Shaxi.
ゲゲストWe enjoyed a fantastic stay at this guesthouse with the owner Da Hua, who took us on tours of Shaxi's Friday farmer's market, the Shaxi Ancient Town, and the nearby mountain and historical monastety with many wild monkeys running around (石宝山). The owner's family is very lovely, playing with our toddler and cooking delicious, fairly priced lunches and dinners (the rice noodles especially!). The guest house is located in a quiet farming village a short distance away from Shaxi itself, and the guesthouse can take care of transportation to and from Shaxi, including to watch the sunrise mist over the river. The guesthouse is very new (finished in 2024) and has very comfortable rooms and a lovely library and dining room. Stargazing at night is perfect. The owner can also take care of transportation to and from Dali or Lijiang. Overall, the owner speaks very good English, is used to both foreign and Chinese guests, and is an expert on many areas in Yunnan, providing a great reference to a driver I would use in Lijiang, and I would recommend this place highly for two nights for anyone visiting Shaxi!
EEideLovely hotel in great location just 10 walking minutes away from old town Shaxi. Nice big rooms, tasty and big chinese breakfast, helpful staff at all times. The owner arranged golf carts to take us downtown when we were too tired to walk. Big balcony towards a pretty courtyard. Highly recommended. Nice welcome snack and fast & easy check in.
EEve BeijingVery cosy and charming place to stay. The library is absolutely breathtaking.
Equipment was is great condition, everything was clean.
The host was really nice and well organized; she helped us all along our stay to navigate around the city and find a transportation to Dali.
The hotel is conveniently located close to the center of the city.
This stay was the highlight of our trip. The city is so beautiful and peaceful. Shibaoshan is really worth the trip (count half a day to really enjoy the trip). We regret not staying longer both in the hotel and the city.
AA.KayThe location is excellent, so near to the main street of the old town, yet is quietly tucked in a little alley away from the hustle and bustle. It is a new place so I like that everything is clean and new. The room is so spacious and comfortable and the yard is so inviting to just sit and chill with the hosts and other guests. Stayed in many different types of accommodation as I traveled, but this is a stay that is home away from home for me especially when I’m staying for 8 nights. The breakfast is simple and homely, a warm bowl of goodness freshly prepared when you want it. And when I want a change coz don’t want to keep repeating the same for 8 days, they were so accommodating. I think the warmth experienced from this stay might have made me fall more in love with this town. I truly appreciate the service from the heart, and I guessed that is what made the stay so unforgettable.
MMaurice KThe hotel is a little hidden but still in the ancient town. I take it as a good thing as it's very quiet.
The room is nicely decorated, with very good AC that provides plenty of warm air. There is also a heater directly above the shower that provides warm hit, very nice.
Everything just works, bed is comfortable.
Our room was upgraded prob due to low season, and our room wasn't supposed to come with breakfast, but we were offer breakfast both days we stayed there. Their rice noodle soup is so good. The host (family run) is very nice people. They even helped us to get some package due to delivery company didnt deliver a package to the hotel.
I say this is such a lovely place to stay at incredible price!
