7/10 – Amazing Waterfall View, But Several Trade-Offs
We stayed in a two-queen room on the third floor. The biggest advantage of this hotel is definitely the waterfall view. From one of the bedroom-side windows, you can see the waterfall, although you need to stand in the right spot to enjoy it. About one-third of the view is blocked by the hotel roof (see photo). The seating area overlooks the river on the opposite side and does not face the waterfall. There is also a second-floor balcony with an excellent waterfall view.
The hotel provides a free pickup service. However, the driver dropped us at a parking area and then led us through a very narrow, dirty alley to reach the hotel. I believe this is the shortest route and avoids dragging luggage through the entire town, but it was still quite difficult with bags. I actually pulled a muscle during the walk. If you have luggage, I would recommend asking the hotel to arrange luggage transport for an additional fee (around 20–25 RMB per bag). I did this when departing, and it made things much easier.
There are no elevators. The towels were stained, the shower had very weak water pressure, several electrical outlets in the room did not work, and the window stopper was broken, making it difficult and somewhat unsafe to open and close the window while trying to enjoy the waterfall view. We also found leftover tea in the room that appeared to have been left behind by a previous guest, which raised some concerns about housekeeping attention to detail.
Overall, I would rate the hotel 7/10. If your goal is the absolute best waterfall view, I would recommend booking the third-floor corner room with one queen bed, which appeared to have a better view and was actually cheaper than the two-queen room we booked. You are paying a premium for the location and view while accepting compromises in amenities and maintenance. Whether that trade-off is worth it depends entirely on what matters most to you.
