Qichi Yijiaren River-view Hostel

We got welcomed very friendly and the staff was very helpful to help us organise a taxi to the trainstation when we left. The room was cozy and we had everything we needed. The nice view from the balcony is perfect for the show on the water.

When I arrived the hotel (owner I think?) helped me bring my luggage down the cobble staircase. The staff helped me again when leaving to bring it back up and grab a taxi. The location is amazing and the view from the room is beautiful. The room actually looked more spacious in person than in the photos. There isn’t really soundproofing so it was a bit difficult to sleep at night. Bugs also make it into the room easily. I found a spider in my luggage. It was a cute small spider, though. Unfortunately the town flooded quite badly during my stay. I will have to come back next time and would definitely stay here again!

We took a taxi from the railway station to Fenghuang Ancient Town, as we discovered that DiDi was not available in the area. Showing the driver “风桥 (Fengqiao)” helped identify the correct drop-off point. The journey took approximately 15–20 minutes and cost around 25–26 yuan. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by the hotel staff at the entrance to the ancient town. The hotel was located just a few steps away, making the transfer very convenient. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. One of the highlights was the balcony overlooking the river, which allowed us to enjoy the beautiful scenery and soak in the unique atmosphere of Fenghuang Ancient Town without even leaving the room. The combination of the excellent location, scenic river views, and attentive hospitality made our stay very enjoyable. We would happily recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Fenghuang Ancient Town.

The hotel is perfectly located for all main visit point. You can also watch the river show from the balcony. What made our stay even more special was the service. They met us on the street and helped us with our luggage. The service couldn’t have been better. The owner was super sweet and attentive to all our needs. She made us feel right at home and even gifted us some ginger candy
