Hongcun Zuoxian Art Hotel

Super good! It's not far from the Hongcun scenic area, just outside, and very quiet. On the way to Hongcun, you'll pass a KAWANKA, so grab a drink before heading into the village. The common areas are designed wonderfully, and there are 3 cats and 2 birds!

The hotel has a lovely design, and the restaurant terrace is quite comfortable. The front desk staff and servers I encountered were all young women who were very enthusiastic. It's quite close to the West Gate of Hongcun, within walking distance. We chose to stay outside the scenic area for easier parking, as you can park directly in front of the hotel. They also have a laundry room and simple fitness facilities.

Traveling here, the receptionist was incredibly helpful and friendly. Parking was convenient, the place was clean and tidy, and the facilities were complete. The overall atmosphere was very cozy. Plus, there were three little cats! It was a very memorable stay, highly recommended.

Time seems to slow down at the Xianyishu Micro Hotel in Hongcun. The Huizhou-style courtyard is quiet and elegant, with thoughtful design evident in every corner. The rooms are charmingly rustic yet comfortable, and opening the window reveals picturesque views of horse-head walls and distant mountains, like a traditional Chinese ink painting. The staff are warm and attentive, and there are even three adorable kittens! It’s very close to the Hongcun entrance, just a 5-minute walk. We also had lunch at the hotel, and the food was surprisingly good! I've already recommended it to my friends.

The service was excellent; both the front desk and the butler were very enthusiastic. Breakfast was plentiful, though the American options were just okay, haha. The terrace view was absolutely beautiful! For dinner, we ate on the fourth floor, which was good; the pickled cabbage and tofu, along with two other dishes, were all quite nice. The cat was also adorable.

This guesthouse is absolutely gorgeous, almost like a hotel, but with so much more warmth and character. The whole place smells amazing, I even looked up the diffuser to buy one for my home. My 15-year-old 'old baby' (dog) wasn't at her best though; she snatched a piece of stinky tofu someone left on the side of the road on our way back from Hongcun, which led to a messy accident in the corridor – I was so embarrassed! ***She also broke a glass in the room, but the staff cleaned it up without a hint of annoyance. Besides the dog, my human companion wasn't much help either; my husband forgot the room key twice, once early in the morning, but the staff were always so welcoming and helpful, it made me wonder if I should tip them. I've traveled with my old baby around Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai for years, and this place ranks among the best! It's a ten-minute walk from Hongcun. My old baby was too tired to walk back, so we took a motorized pedicab for ten yuan.

The environment here is absolutely fantastic, I highly recommend it. I've stayed at countless B&Bs and hotels, and this one offers the best overall experience. The surroundings are lovely and very relaxing, and the service is excellent and attentive.

This is my ideal vacation hotel! The living environment is excellent, and the staff's service attitude is absolutely top-notch!
