The property is new but surrounding buildings are not so. Service is good and breakfast is reasonably priced. Rooms were clean and beds were comfortable too.
You can find local food outlets within short walking distance from hotel. Going to Zhongshan Street by car is about 15-20 minutes.
The hotel provides self-serviced laundry at no charge. This benefit however was abused by room guest as I witnessed a Chinese lady separating her own jacket, grand children’s clothing and other clothing in each washer. Perhaps the hotel can consider installing a system that needs room card number when operating the washer to prevent guest from using all three washers at the same time.
Overall we had a good stay at this hotel.
ゲゲストThis is one of the nicer, quieter accommodations right at the end of the beachfront with a great view of the shore. It is a small boutique hotel with only 4 rooms. There is a tourist attraction right below it. In the evening, you can sit at the viewing deck to relax into the night.
The small crew of live-in staff are great. They helped us with a very challenging situation and were very quick to provide general assistance even up to very late at night. They were communicative on Wechat.
The only downside is that the hotel is some distance to the main area at the library building. There is a buggy which brings you there and back which the hotel staff arrange very quickly and enthusiastically. This is a small problem as the hotel staff are very quick to support but you must be aware to factor in an additional 10-15minutes travelling time to reach the library building to go elsewhere. Do also note that at the library building, cars cannot wait too long if you are planning travel activities.
The hotel also houses two cute cats as pets which are friendly to guests. There is a nearby cafe affiliated to the hotel which is nice to relax in and the coffee is fine. The beachfront shops are about 10-15 minutes walk away along the shore.
The toilet in the rooms have bidets. The rooms have good unobstructed views, which should be better compared to other hotels around them. In addition to usual complimentary water bottles, small snacks are provided in the rooms.
The hotel staff are excellent. They had a high energy level, were engaging and genuine in wanting to support hotel guests.
AAndrea De FeliceAmazing hotel with a great courtyard and great southern style breakfast. Very friendly staff that invited me to drink tea with them. They have a wide selection of teas grown in WuyiShan. Highly recommend!
ゲゲストMore than a Stay - A Warm Family Welcome in the Heart of the Tulou!
From the moment we arrived, we were treated not as tourists, but as guests of the family. The hosts – the Father, Mother, and their Son – are the soul of this place. They are incredibly friendly and go so far above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and special.
The Son was our main point of contact and coordinated everything for us with great patience. He arranged our visit to the magnificent 振成楼 (Zhencheng Lou, the ”Prince of Tulou”), with Mother sharing fascinating stories about its history that you won't find in guidebooks.
But where this family truly shines is in their genuine care. As overseas visitors, we were completely unfamiliar with local transportation and booking systems for our next destination. The Son sat down with us, helped us navigate the Chinese online systems, booked our train tickets, and gave us detailed instructions for the rest of our journey. He spent a significant amount of his own time to ensure we were set up for success, which was a gesture we will never forget.
The homestay itself is a wonderful experience. The room was clean and comfortable. Decent simple home-cooked breakfast with the family was priceless.
In summary:
· Hospitality: Unmatched. The family's kindness is the #1 reason to stay here.
· Authenticity: A true Tulou living experience.
· Convenience: Perfect location for exploring the nearby Tulou clusters.
· Value: Worth every penny for the personal service and care.
Highly recommended.
EEnzo PaulThe hotel is located in a village about 15 minutes drive from Nanmen bay. First we were concerned because the village didn't look like a ”tourist friendly” place. But when we had arrived, all our concerns disappeared. The place is very quiet and chill unlike the hussle and bussle of hotels near the beach.
The hotel is a renovated traditional Chinese house. All facilities are new, clean and made with a good taste and attention to the details. What you definitely don't expect to find in the old Chinese village is an electronic toilet that greets you by opening the lid when you coming into the bathroom. 😁
The room was clean, smelled very good and the linings and towels were superb 5 stars level quality.
The breakfast is simple (Chinese traditional) but fulfilling and tasty.
There are complimentary coffee drip bags in each room and also a coffee machine in the bar area.
The owner of this hotel is a professional traveler. He told us a lot about his trips all over the China and abroad and showed his photo works. He also designed ans made some furniture in the hotel by himself.
I helped him to take some photos for the hotel which you can find below 👇 Absolutely recommend this place for staying!
