Clean and Comfortable Accommodations
The home is spotlessly clean and that translates into the guest rooms as well. Rooms are nicely furnished, well organised, and comfy, providing everything you need for a most enjoyable stay.
positive:
Unique Take on Breakfast
Guests are delighted by the daily breakfast. Prepared using traditional Chinese cooking methods, the selection includes vegetables, eggs, and dumplings. This is indeed a unique take and far from the traditional continental style found at most hotels, and guests say this sets this hotel apart and helps them feel well prepared for the day.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Beds are a Letdown
Many guests comment on the firmness of the beds at this hotel. They feel that the mattresses are quite hard for their taste, and you can even feel the mattress springs in some beds. This takes away from the overall good experience at this hotel.
negative:
Communication Issues Lead to Frustration
Communication can be a bit difficult with the owners as they do not speak English well. They make their best effort with gestures, but some requests seem to get lost due to the inability to translate well. Be prepared to possibly work a little harder to communicate when staying here.
negative:
Thin Walls Mean Noise Issues
Rooms lack decent soundproofing and therefore you are able to hear other guests' conversations and activities throughout the home. You may want to bring earplugs to help at night when you're trying to sleep.
