Beautiful location at the top of a quiet, authentic town. The host is lovely and went above and beyond to look after us - he even drove us to dinner and back! Definitely recommend this stay
I felt so welcomed and comfortable at this boutique hotel in ancient Xaisi. I understood that this hotel was in an older part of Kaili. On further exploration I found it to be in an extremely historic an ancient village of Xiasi that spanned many dynasties. Within walking distance to can find architecture that represents Qing and other dynasties . Xiasi’s streets reveal layers of history where Han, Miao, and merchant cultures converge. Stone streets, wooden covered bridges, decorated eaves, bell towers, and imperial and domestic courtyards reflect exquisite craftsmanship. My room overlooked the Qingjiang River. It was beautiful appointments with indigo fabric details. I especially liked the Chinese red chair. My room also have a spacious balcony. The owner took care of me like I was her daughter. It was so sweet. The central courtyard of the hotel is a lush garden. I loved exploring Xiasi during the quiet off-season. Its enchanting alleyways and ancient architecture is extraordinary. It’s especially romantic as evenings falls and this historic village is lit by red lanterns. I highly recommend this hotel. I look forward to returning.
A wonderful place to stay in Kaili, at walking distance from the south railway station and right in front of a bus station. The staff was very friendly and eager to help. The breakfast had nice variety. The room was particularely clean and very comfortable. If we would have had time, we would have extended our stay. I recommend staying here, 10/10!
My stay in Shui An Zi Jia Boutique Homestay was so comfortable that I decided to add in two more nights and to travel to nearby attractions on side trips.
It was such a good feeling to come home to such excellent facilities.
Plus, there is an amazing restaurant 5 minutes from Shui An Zi Jia that serves the best hot steaming wonton and the famous sour soup noodles. ( @ 10 RMB per bowl ) It is just beside the historical Stockade Gate.
