Luoyang Sanjiu Homestay (Luoyi Ancient City Branch)

Very clean, and it was my first time seeing a toiletry bag like this in all the hotels I've stayed in; everything was disposable. If you're visiting Luoyang, this place offers great value for money.

It's quite close to all the attractions, and the owner is really nice, even helped me with my luggage.

I stayed at Luoyang 39 Homestay (Luyi Ancient City Shizijie Lijing branch). The good points are that it's within walking distance of Luyi Ancient City and Shizijie, making it very convenient for sightseeing, and the owner was responsive in communication. The downsides are also quite noticeable: the homestay is tucked away in a small alley, a bit out of the way, and difficult to find with navigation, which made it inconvenient with luggage. The room size was a bit small, leaving limited space after putting down suitcases. The cleanliness was just average, with room for improvement in corner cleaning. Overall, the value for money is decent, suitable for tourists who are just visiting the ancient city and only returning to sleep at night. I hope the owner will improve the cleanliness and directions in the future.

I had a very pleasant stay! The location is a huge plus, as it's close to all the attractions. The room was bright and clean, and the bedding was comfortable. The owner was very friendly and recommended a lot of delicious local snacks. The room looked pretty much exactly like the pictures.

This place is very close to the Grand Canal Museum and Zhuying Pagoda. The owner is really nice. If you're coming to Luoyang more for the food and fun, then this is the place to choose.

Location & Facilities: This guesthouse is located in an old residential area, tucked away in an alley which made it a little hard to find. During the day, there's quite a bit of foot traffic from local residents, and driving into the alley can be tricky. However, you can park at the alley entrance and walk for about two to three minutes to reach the guesthouse, so it's still quite convenient. The main gate has an electronic lock, and you can only open it with your room card after dark, which made us feel very secure. Free parking nearby is a bit 'wild west' – basically just parking along the side of the alley. If you're worried about scratches or inconvenience, there are also paid parking lots nearby; 5 yuan for overnight parking is a reasonable price, I think. Being in the old city, the guesthouse is very close to attractions like Luoyi Ancient City and other bustling areas. Grabbing a shared e-scooter, you can reach all sorts of delicious food within about ten minutes, making it super convenient for eating and exploring. Service: The owner, a very enthusiastic gentleman, called us right after we booked to confirm if we needed a parking space. After checking in, he recommended many local eateries. We basically followed his recommendations for most of our two or three days in Luoyang, and everything was authentic and affordable! I have to say, the owner’s recommendations as a local were truly authentic; he had our breakfast, lunch, and dinner plans perfectly sorted. Since we rented a car, we'd tell him roughly when we'd return to the guesthouse, and he'd help confirm a parking spot in advance, so we could park directly near the guesthouse upon arrival. He always has a cheerful smile, and when we bumped into him heading out, he'd actively ask how our day was going and how we liked the restaurants he recommended. Overall, he made us feel right at home, very comfortable! Hygienics: The entire guesthouse was impeccably maintained by the owner. Our room was clean and tidy, making for a very comfortable stay. The bathroom had no unpleasant smells, and the hot water for showers was great and convenient, with no drainage issues. They also provided disposable bath towels and face towels, which was a nice touch. The mattress was incredibly comfortable; combined with all the delicious food in Luoyang, we pretty much crashed as soon as we got back to the guesthouse and slept like logs, haha. No wonder previous reviews mentioned feeling like they were staying in a five-star hotel. Overall, the stay was an excellent experience! I highly recommend this guesthouse to everyone! It's been three or four days since we returned from Luoyang, and I just remembered I had to leave a big positive review for the owner! The value of a retrospective review speaks for itself. Please support the owner's business! Staying in such a comfortable guesthouse made our trip to Luoyang even more enjoyable! I've attached a few photos of the local food recommended by the owner and some Luoyang peonies.

The room was spacious, clean, and tidy. The owner was incredibly kind and thoughtful, taking care of every detail. The location is convenient for transportation and dining.
