Excellent location, warm and welcoming service, and very affordable. Enjoying a pot of tea in my free time was a highlight. Definitely worth it!

The hotel's location is absolutely fantastic! It's just a one-minute walk, a right turn, directly to Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street. The owner is incredibly warm and hospitable, and told me about so many great places to visit! He was very thorough, and even helped me with my luggage when I left – he's such a sweet guy!

The hotel has a great environment, and the hygiene is impeccable. The front desk staff are warm and patient, and the facilities are comprehensive. It's also very convenient for getting around, as it's right next to a pedestrian street and a bus stop. I had a very comfortable stay this time and highly recommend it.

This stay was conveniently located near Zhongshan Road, making it easy to get around. However, there are a few experiences I need to honestly feedback on for future guests' reference.
Firstly, the hotel advertises a laundry room, but it doesn't clearly state that laundry is a paid service. During my stay, I specifically asked the front desk if there was a charge, and they told me it was free. Only when I actually went to use it did I find out I needed to scan a QR code to pay. The inconsistency in information was a poor experience, and I have video and screenshots to prove it.
Secondly, the service attitude varied significantly among the front desk staff. Some employees were very kind, but one particular front desk agent was quite rude and even verbally abusive during our interaction, which made me feel very uncomfortable. I have video evidence of this as well.
Lastly, I had to fetch water myself from the front desk, and they seemed reluctant to deliver it. For the same price as hotels in tier-one cities, where other establishments offer excellent service, I don't understand why your hotel falls short.

Response from Property: Hi~ Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to leave us a review. We're a little disappointed that we didn't get your five-star rating, perhaps because we didn't do a perfect job! The new receptionist didn't know the washing machine required scanning a code, and gave you the wrong answer, causing you inconvenience. We're so sorry! He offered to scan the code for you to use for free, but you declined. Regarding the water you mentioned, the front desk brings four bottles up to your room every night. We're concerned about cleanliness if previous guests have touched the water, so we provide water only upon check-in to ensure it's safe! If you weren't entirely satisfied, you booked five days and then extended your stay by one night. Thank you for your support! If you have any questions during your stay, please contact our lovely receptionists; they're happy to help. We welcome guests from all over the world and are committed to creating a warm and welcoming inn. We apologize for not providing a perfect experience; we will continue to strive to earn your five-star approval and look forward to your next visit!

Overall, I'd give it an 8 out of 10, though there was a slight odor in the room. Parking was convenient and the room was clean. The details were well-executed. The old man overseeing the parking garage downstairs was very responsible, and the front desk staff on the first floor were patient and helpful.

Great location, very close to Zhongshan Road Pedestrian Street, and it's surprisingly quiet. The owner is really helpful with local tips and restaurant recommendations. There's a hospital complex next door, but it doesn't really bother you.

This is my second stay here, and it's super convenient. It's really close to the subway and bus stops, which is great. The landlady is incredibly nice; she always asks if I need bottled water when I leave or come back, and the cleaning is always done promptly. Thumbs up! 👍

By far the worst part about this place is that the name in both English and Chinese on this app is incorrect. On the app, this place is called a hotel (酒店), but it's not. It's a.guesthouse (客栈). This means that some of the amenities that you might expect from a botel, like a elevator, don't exist. The rooms are also very snall, but for a solo-traveler, that's okay. The worst part wss trying to use a hide-hailing app, since the name is different. Thankfully, I know enough Chinese to make it not s problem with me. That said, there was literally traah stuck on the, behind where the door sits when it is opened.

Aligned with photos and description. Isolation isn't sufficient to block noise from the corridor and the street
