Borrman Hotels in Fenghuang

A very beautiful hotel with lovely styled rooms and very helpful staff. Manager Wang's service was excellent. We had a language barrier but they still managed to arrange a pick-up and drop off to the high speed railway. The hotel is in a great location with a view of Fenghuang bridge from the room balcony. Unfortunately it is true what other reviewers say about the bathroom being poorly designed. Rather than a shower, it is a bath tub with a retractable shower head and water gets everywhere if you try to use it as a standing shower. It is also true that the noise from the streets, particularly the music from the bar next door, is very loud at night, but it stops at 23:30. However, we found these to be minor inconveniences in our stay, which was overall very romantic and hugely positive. We'd recommend this hotel to everyone.

The hotel is located next to the ancient city. It takes more than ten minutes to walk to the core area, but it is only a few dozen meters to the maglev station. The room was very clean, and the hotel also provided free fruit and baked sweet potatoes, which were delicious.

The hotel is close to the Fog bridge in the Fenghuang ancient city. My room has the river view and two balconies, which is excellent for night view of the city. The room is spacious enough for four adults, but needs to share for one bathroom. The breakfast buffet only offered a simple Chinese breakfast with limited varieties. The hotel room was quiet at night time. The staff were friendly and helpful the whole time. The restaurant was excellent and offered authentic Hunan style food. Overall, this hotel experience was excellent.

The inn is downstream, so you don't need to walk far, and it's not noisy at night. I think the view in the room is YYDS, peaceful and beautiful. The room includes a maglev sightseeing train ride, which is a great experience. You can get off the high-speed train and go to the maglev train guide board, and report your cell phone number to the information desk. There is no need to pay extra. The innkeeper will contact you in advance to make arrangements. After getting off the maglev, there is also a pick-up driver at the hotel. It's a pity that I underestimated how difficult it would be to get a taxi when leaving Fenghuang Ancient City. Didi can't get a taxi here. They have a local taxi app. You can ask the innkeeper. I heard the online taxi driver say it and didn't remember it. live. If you want to go to the high-speed rail station or the maglev train station here, the driver will ask for the price. If you want to go back to the maglev, you have to go early, or you can take a taxi directly back to the high-speed rail station. We paid 35. The facilities in the room are quite satisfactory. I would like to complain about the hair dryer and the shower room. The hair dryer was still mounted on the wall in the past and its power is worrisome. The shower room is not ventilated. If it is not turned on, there will be a strong musty smell when it is turned on again. Overall, the inn is worth staying in, and it’s worth it for the scenery. Other transportation or facility issues are trivial on the basis of one trip.

Pros- Great location by the river, beautiful and close walking distance to the food shops, famous bridges and the red lady singing on the boat (5-10mins). Clean warm room. Bit of scuff marks and stuff on the walls and wooden furnitures but overall charming, nice and modern and no like stinky smells from the river/mosquitoes/cigarettes etc. Warm showers and has all the standard amenities (hairdryer, soap shampoo, shaver etc). The manager is super friendly and hospitable even though she doesn’t speak English she really tries her best to help. Cons- noisy bars and karaoke until 11pm, tour groups in the morning start like at 7am below the balcony (maybe one or two when I was there 2 days) and 9am construction work starts. The free tour is sadly in Chinese only, and the free outfit doesn’t include photos or makeup, it is about 199 yuan for that but if you don’t want photos or makeup it’s free. Don’t think they wash the outfits super often either. Laundry is apparently not a proper one and you have to hand wash. No lifts if you have a lot of luggage.

Overall it was a good stay. It is located at the end river section, so you can still see the lighting up at night but not as much as the middle section. The room was clean but the cushions on the chairs (balcony) were stained. Would suggest to not put cushions and just have Rattan chairs. The room is located at the fourth floor so we had to carry our suitcases up. We read the reviews prior booking so we kind of expected it too and didn't come as a shock. The staffs were very kind and help us to carry the suitcases together. We had an early day next day and the kitchen staffs served us our breakfast prior to the official breakfast start time.

We contacted the hotel a few weeks prior to arrange for a pick up at the fenghuanggucheng train station. They picked us up from the train station for free. As soon as we arrive, the boss greeted us and the staff helped bring our luggage to our room. We were also shown different rooms when we arrived, and they upgraded us to their suite room free of charge. The staff are always nice , smiling and helpful. Great location, hotel located away from the major noise but right in the action. We have been travelling around the Philippines, South Korea and China and decided to stay in Fenghuang old town for two nights, and we are grateful that we got some much needed rest. There's a few cheap breakfast options around the hotel. Highly recommended hotel, we would stay here again the next time we come back to Fenghuang old town!

The sanitation is relatively clean. It is a two-story house with a circular steel structure + glass. The first floor is the bathroom and living room, and the second floor is the room. Advantages: The room type is special and children like it. It is located in Nanhua Mountain. You can overlook the night view of the ancient city from the room. You can also lie on the bed to enjoy the scenery by opening the curtains. It feels pretty good. The hotel is right by the Hongqiao River. There is a dedicated housekeeper who can help you book tickets. Disadvantages: The room is on the mountain. Although there is an elevator, it takes more than 1 minute to walk. It is also a challenge to return to the hotel to rest after a day of sightseeing or halfway. The bathroom is indeed a bit small, the drainage is a bit not very good, and there is no place to put toiletries.

The hotel is close to Nanhua Gate. We drove to Fenghuang. There is plenty of parking space. You can visit Fenghuang Ancient Town not far away. The hotel has complete facilities and is a four-star hotel standard. I like several highlights of the hotel: the tea room and buffet restaurant on the first floor have rich meals, and there are many Chinese paintings and calligraphy works hanging on the corridors and walls, which add to the cultural atmosphere of the hotel. There is also a tourist information desk in the lobby on the first floor. This seems inadvertent, but it is very convenient for foreign tourists, reflecting the professional service of the hotel industry in tourist cities, and making tourists feel very warm. Thumbs up for our hotel.
