Negative Review of Siyan Well Inn in Puyuan Ancient Town, Jiaxing: Terrible Experience, Cold and Unfriendly After-Sales Service, Avoid!
My stay at Siyan Well Inn in Puyuan Ancient Town, Jiaxing, from September 13th to 14th, completely shattered my expectations for traveling in an ancient town. From check-in to after-sales service, it was all a nightmare. Specific problems are as follows:
1. Chaotic room arrangement, last-minute room change with an unpleasant smell: When checking in at noon, the manager did not provide the room type I booked, claiming it was "fully booked" and promising an upgrade to a well-balcony room at Baoju Inn. However, upon arrival, the room had a pungent musty smell. The staff only explained that "due to continuous rain, wooden furniture is prone to mold," and eventually arranged for me to stay in a small room next door. I reluctantly accepted it for convenience, but it already ruined my stay.
2. Inefficient internal service, poor shuttle bus experience: It took a full half hour to transport my luggage from my original room to the smaller room I was moved to. The inn's shuttle bus not only had long wait times, but the staff's service attitude was also extremely poor, showing no service awareness whatsoever.
3. Dirty and outdated room facilities, basic functions not guaranteed: The kettle in the room had obvious rust, and the teapot had tea stains, raising serious concerns about hygiene. Even more outrageous, the bathroom had a cement floor, and the water heater stopped producing hot water after only 20 minutes of use, failing to meet even basic accommodation needs.
4. Poor staff attitude and lack of respect: Around 2 PM on September 13th, a hotel staff member contacted me, demanding I "return to my room immediately" in a commanding tone, citing "delivering a gift box" as the reason, completely disregarding the guest's itinerary. I asked for their employee number and name three times before they reluctantly provided them, showing absolutely no respect for guests.
5. Cold and apathetic after-sales service, refusal to address issues: I subsequently reported the situation through Ctrip, and the platform repeatedly requested the hotel to contact me for negotiation. However, within 36 hours, the hotel never proactively called, adopting a cold and apathetic attitude of "no apology, no compensation, no solution," completely ignoring the guest's reasonable demands.
This accommodation experience was extremely disappointing in terms of service, facilities, and after-sales service. I would never come back. I also suggest that friends planning to visit Puyuan Ancient Town carefully consider this guesthouse!
