Anshun Hotels with Bars

This internet-famous guesthouse truly lives up to its reputation, with a total of 24 rooms. The biggest drawback is the number of stairs and the lack of an elevator, but everything else is excellent! Location: It's situated next to the Balinghe Bridge in Guanling, about a 15-20 minute drive from the main Huangguoshu scenic area. Ambiance: It's a popular guesthouse located in a small, charming village. The air is filled with the scent of mugwort. The 4th-floor observation deck is perfect for watching both sunsets and sunrises. You'll hear roosters crowing in the morning. Facilities: Be prepared to climb stairs, as the highest floor is the 4th. There is a dedicated luggage elevator for your bags. The rooms are spacious, the bedding is comfortable, and the air conditioning is powerful but a bit noisy (earplugs are provided by the hotel). There's a self-service laundry room with two washing machines and two dryers, along with laundry pods. Service: The butler-style service is prompt and friendly. I really appreciated the small farewell gift upon check-out. Cleanliness: Very good. Restaurant: They offer a buffet breakfast, à la carte lunch, and dinner requires advance ordering and reservation, with a notification when it's ready. The cocktails at the bar are excellent.

Let's start with the positives: The location is incredibly convenient, just across the road from a VIP center. The hotel has a nice design aesthetic; the entrance features photos documenting its development. They offer free Miao ethnic costumes for guests to borrow and take photos (about ten women's costumes are available in the lobby). The batik painting activity, however, is not recommended. Breakfast is decent, meeting four-star hotel standards. There's a welcome fruit plate and complimentary drinks. Now for the issues: 1. They don't offer guest pick-up/drop-off, and the location pin leads to the park entrance. 2. For two adults, they provided one large and one small pillow. When I inquired, the hotel said this was standard and I had to request an additional pillow (photo attached). 3. The room is small, comparable to the smallest room type at Hanting, with everything in plain view (photo attached). 4. The bathroom handle easily came off (photo attached). 5. The air conditioning panel was unresponsive and the room was freezing; the TV remote didn't work, so I couldn't turn off the screen. 6. After boiling water, the kettle lid accidentally fell into the kettle (photo attached). 7. Although there's a pool, it's an unsupervised large trough with only two sun loungers that smelled heavily of smoke. Children were entering the water in slippers, and some without swimwear. Needless to say, the water quality was questionable (photo taken without entering the water).

This hotel is quite good for one located within a scenic area. I have a few suggestions though: First, the shower water pressure in the room is too low, which detracts from the experience and doesn't match the overall quality of the hotel. Second, the self-service laundry room is poorly managed. Although it's self-service, the facilities provided should still be regularly maintained or inspected for cleanliness and usage. The area was chaotic, and there was a lot of confusion regarding laundry availability. Third, since the hotel is within a scenic area, it could enhance its services by offering a shuttle bus to and from the visitor center, which would greatly benefit guests.

There's a reason this hotel has a 4.6 rating. The Four Points by Sheraton in Shanghai is genuinely good, with excellent service and facilities. I chose it specifically because it advertised tie-dyeing, as other high-end B&Bs also offer it, and I wanted a unique experience. However, to my surprise, the front desk informed me that the instructor was off for two days, yet the activity was still listed. They even said it was free, implying it wasn't a big deal... Ctrip was very responsible, calling me several times, and eventually arranged for two complimentary breakfasts. It's a bit of a shame I didn't get to experience the tie-dyeing. As for the facilities, they are as pictured, and the air conditioning might even be older than me! The lady at breakfast was incredibly fierce; although she didn't directly confront me, her interactions with other guests were quite rude. Many staff members seemed uninformed about things, like whether tickets could be used consecutively. The concierge at the entrance completely ignored parking, and I only got to use the shuttle once, having to take taxis for all other trips. However, the scenery at Huangguoshu is beautiful, and the staff there are exceptionally well-trained, much better than the hotel staff.

The toilet was a disappointment. Every time I sat down, it would automatically flush and splash water, which felt unhygienic. The Jomoo brand really isn't good enough. However, the floor sensor for the toilet flush was a nice touch. The mirror light was sensor-activated and kept turning off, which was very inconvenient. I had to keep waving my hand to turn it back on. The hairdryer, though, was excellent! It's one of the best I've used in a hotel. It dried my hair quickly without getting too hot. The cleaning staff were very considerate. They noticed I was running low on tissues and toilet paper and left me an extra pack of each. This morning, I mentioned needing some water for hiking, and in the evening, they left four bottles in my room – very thoughtful. However, when I messaged the front desk to ask for more water, they refused, saying each room was limited to two bottles. Luckily, the front desk attendant was generous and even kindly offered me an umbrella, reminding me it might rain, which was very considerate!

Traveling with my elderly parents in their 70s and an 8-year-old child, this turned out to be the most time-saving and effortless scenic spot of our entire Guizhou trip. During the National Day Golden Week, staying at Qianshouju Hotel combined with the VIP service made visiting Huangguoshu Waterfall an absolute breeze! We didn't arrive until 5 PM, but we were able to enter the Grand Waterfall directly through the hotel's exclusive passageway. At 5:30 PM, there was practically no one there at all. We took our time strolling, and it only took us a little over an hour. Afterward, we had a simple dinner on the second floor of the hotel, then went back to our room to take a bath and get some sleep. The next day, we didn't have to wake up early at all. We dropped off our luggage and had breakfast at 8:30 AM, then entered the park at 9:00 AM. The VIP shared shuttles were completely empty—a new one arrived in less than ten minutes. We finished visiting Doupotang Waterfall in half an hour, and then took the VIP shuttle directly to the second half of Tianxingqiao Scenic Area. Inside Tianxingqiao, there's a section with a narrow walkway so that part was a bit slower, but we finished the whole tour in under two hours. The total time spent was just 3 hours. Personally, I felt that Doupotang offered the best experience: bright, spacious, and relaxing. Of course, the hotel service was also top-notch; whenever we needed anything, they replenished it right away.

The room was upgraded and it is very spacious with a high cost performance ratio! The key point is that the B&B is located in the scenic area. There is also a free shuttle bus to the Tianxing Bridge Scenic Area, so you can avoid the surging crowds during the May Day holiday by traveling in the morning and evening. In addition to its good location, the B&B is also beautiful, clean and comfortable, with considerate and in-place service. There is also a small ball pool and a slide in the room for children to play. It is a first-class experience to travel with children~ Five-star praise!

Fantastic hotel situated in an incredibly well-preserved Ming dynasty village. Our hosts were very accommodating and the room was fantastic - very clean and a comfortable bed! There are many things to see here, including a Buddhist temple of 500 years one of the mountains the town in nestled beneath. Far different from the new old towns we saw in Lijiang and shangri-la, this village is the real deal and just unbelievable to walk through and explore. We also enjoyed walking down to the nearby town outside the gates. The Karst mountains in this area are extremely dramatic and beautiful to behold. There is a speciality coffee shop and a place to get breakfast near the gate - we suspect that we were visiting outside of peak time as it was generally quiet but that suited us just fine. The host made us wonton and dumpling soup in a vegetable broth which was very nice. The hosts are very kind and they have prepared a wonderful place from which to explore this very special village. It is about a 40 minute taxi from Anshun West station and 20-30 minute taxi into Anshun city. Thank you!

I called the hotel to arrange a pick-up for two elderly relatives. Even though their regular driver was off, the owner managed to find a car to bring them to the hotel. My relatives were very pleased with the room I booked for them; they even sent me a video showing the nice view from the window. They also mentioned the room was spacious and clean.

This hotel exceeded my expectations; I'd recommend it to anyone visiting Huangguoshu Waterfall. It's just a short walk from the second ticketing center. Plus, there are plenty of restaurants right next door, making dining super convenient. The room was quite spacious, and having a courtyard was a lovely bonus. While the staff's service awareness isn't quite at a 5-star level, it's a minor flaw that doesn't detract too much from the overall experience. I hope the hotel can improve its soft amenities in the future.
