Shuiyun Yaju River View B&B (Fenghuang Ancient City Branch)

For a competitive price, this stay has an amazing view of a beautiful part of old town and lighted bridges that are still outside of the main parts of town. The bed was great, there was water and airconditioning (however, no coffee and tea), and the owner would go to lengths to help out visitors. For instance, the owner personally walked me to a nice spot for breakfast. However, there are some clear shortcomings with the room that do not take away from what the room is, but might be dealbreakers to people visiting. First of all, as a B&B I did expect a breakfast service. It was nice of the owner to recommend me breakfast in the town because it is cheaper than the breakfast he can order for me, but it was disappointing that a B&B has no options for a breakfast made in-house. Since it was for an additional fee, it did not matter that much to me, but breakfast as part of your stay is not a given. Furthermore, the room. I had the budget room, so this might be unique to that room, but the walls are very thin and I was able to hear the people outside and upstairs (and if I can hear them, they can hear me). In the off-season especially, noise is rare and this was not a huge deal, but noises were so clear that I was not always sure of my privacy. Lastly, the room had a shower in the bathroom not separated from the toilet, with a rain shower. This got me excited, but the water pressure seemed too low to use it, and the shower was underwhelming. Note that these are nitpicks, since the stay was very pleasant. I think for the beautiful view alone, this stay is perfect especially for couples. So, I would recommend this stay to anyone, just be adviced for some of the things mentioned here!

Location is fairly good - slightly further along the river from the 'main' tourist hotspots, but you can walk up to them in about 15-20 minutes, and it's nice to be in a quieter part of the town when things get very busy in the evening. The double room with river view is beautiful. The facilities are a little bit lacking. I don't expect to pay more than 150 RMB and have to use a disposable towel! Beyond this, the bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The wifi was a bit patchy. Service was outstanding - everyone working at the hotel is very very helpful. They arranged a taxi to pick me up from the bus stop and one to deliver me back to the train station.

The hotel is located at the downstream with good scenic river view. It's more quiet and within the walking distance to the attractions. The staff are very helpful to meet at the drop off site to guide to the hotel. Overall very happy with this booking.

The view from the hotel room was amazing! The room was very clean and tidy and the people at the front desk were very friendly and they helped us to find the hotel. It’s inside the scenic area itself and it’s very easy to get around. 酒店房间的景色令人惊叹。房间非常干净整洁，前台人员非常友好，他们帮助我们找到了酒店. 它位于风景区内，交通非常方便。

The room is really nice, big and comfortable. The view is wonderful (see the picture). The staff is kind and helpful.

The staff were super friendly and helpful. Gave good tips on how to travel around the ancient town. View from the room was great. Environment is quiet and cosy and location is about 8min walk to the bar Street and other shopping area.
