Host very helpful and friendly, value for money. Will stay back again in next opportunity, highly recommended.

Disappointing and not what I expected – would not recommend ❌ I really don’t recommend this place. Even though it’s in a great location, the overall experience felt very sketchy. This is not a hotel, hostel, or guesthouse it’s just a random person renting out studio apartments inside a residential building. From the start, it was hard to find, as there’s no reception or signage. If you don’t speak Chinese, it’s even more difficult to navigate. When someone finally came to get me, they didn’t say hello or welcome me — just asked me to pay a 100 RMB deposit for the key. Right away, it felt uncomfortable and unprofessional. When I entered the room, the walls were stained and dirty, the bed was uncomfortable, and the whole place just felt off. Definitely not worth the price I paid. I messaged the host to explain the situation, but instead of being understanding, he was rude and asked us to leave immediately. He did offer another studio, but honestly, once you feel uncomfortable, it’s hard to trust or stay. The host refused to refund the bookin
