The hotel is conveniently located near the Mingtang Scenic Area. A small heads-up for drivers: the hotel entrance can be a bit easy to miss, so keep an eye out. The hotel itself boasts a lovely environment, and the front desk staff, especially one young lady, provided absolutely fantastic service – she was incredibly accommodating, kind, and enthusiastic! Definitely well worth a stay.

Jiu Jian Fang was truly the first pleasant surprise of my Luoyang trip. Honestly, Luoyang itself exceeded all expectations, and Jiu Jian Fang really kicked off my summer vacation there on a wonderful note.
1. **Aesthetics:** My photos clearly show the immense dedication the owner poured into this guesthouse. All rooms are located on the second floor, and each features an expansive private courtyard with an outdoor table, offering a lovely spot for guests to relax and unwind.
2. **Location:** The affiliated temporary cafe is a fantastic photo spot, directly overlooking the Tiantang and Mingtang attractions from the second floor. On the other side, you'll find the Sui and Tang Dynasties City National Heritage Park – making it a one-stop destination for stunning photos and Instagram-worthy moments.
3. **Service:** Genuine sincerity is truly their secret weapon. I must say, the people of Luoyang are incredibly warm and hospitable! Every staff member at Jiu Jian Fang was proactive and enthusiastic in their service. It truly felt like this guesthouse not only offers guests a home away from home but also serves as a cherished home that every staff member is deeply dedicated to. A special mention goes to one particular lady whose meticulous care was evident from the moment I arrived until breakfast service. Though I don't know her name, I'm incredibly grateful to have experienced such warmth and kindness during my trip.

Response from Property: Dear guest, we are very happy to receive your positive comments and affirmation. We are lucky to add a touch of color to your journey! It is an honor to welcome guests like you and we are grateful to have met such a passionate person like you. As for the "big sister" you mentioned, it is our "Sister Wang", an especially kind sister. We will pass on your praise for her. Jiujianfang Hotel is located in the heart of the core tourist area of the old city, adjacent to the Sui and Tang Luoyang City National Heritage Park, a stone's throw from Yingtian Gate, Lijing Gate, and Luoyi Ancient City, and only a dozen minutes' drive from the White Horse Temple and Longmen Grottoes New District Museum. It has convenient transportation and a superior environment. The elegant design of pavilions, waterside pavilions, corridors and terraces is interspersed with ancient style. Trees, green plants, lotus flowers, goldfish and turtles swim among them, close to nature. Breakfast is purely handmade, Luoyang's special beef soup, spicy soup, and even soup with pork slices. Jiujianfang is your home away from home. We look forward to seeing you back and wish you a happy life and smooth work.

The room was really spacious, and the hotel's design is incredibly unique. The staff were super welcoming, making us feel completely at home. Breakfast was also very thoughtfully prepared, featuring a different local Luoyang specialty every day. The beef soup on the first day was absolutely divine! Highly recommend! 👍👍👍👍

As this is a guesthouse and not managed by a professional team, I was completely understanding of any minor shortcomings and didn't have overly strict expectations.
First, let's talk about the positives:
1. The service was incredibly thoughtful and attentive, especially in the details. I was very impressed and it truly exceeded my expectations.
2. The location is close to the scenic area, and the best way to explore is by electric scooter. Situated in a somewhat dilapidated old town, the guesthouse itself boasts a distinctly elegant style that feels both out of place and uniquely charming – this is truly its biggest appeal.
3. The team here is incredibly dedicated and efficient; you can really feel their unity and collective effort. This guesthouse truly shines because of its strong 'soft power' – its intangible strengths like service and atmosphere.
A few suggestions for improvement, though:
1. While a rusty old iron staircase adds to the character, cobwebs in the corners are definitely not acceptable.
2. If some of the tea leaves are chargeable, it would be better not to display them in the room, or at least clearly label them with a price tag, as conspicuously as a 'Do Not Take Away' sign.
3. The fruit platter wasn't fresh. If you're going to offer fruit, please make sure it's fresh, otherwise, it really diminishes the overall guest experience.

Luoyang in summer means shoulder-to-shoulder crowds at every attraction. After a hectic half-day of sightseeing, it was a welcome relief to return to the quiet of Jiujianfang. Its location is a tranquil oasis amidst the city's buzz, and the design is truly unique. Meticulous craftsmanship is evident everywhere, from the water features and lush greenery to the breakfast and every small detail. Highly recommended.

A truly satisfying stay. The guesthouse offers a peaceful retreat amidst the hustle and bustle. Its second-floor terrace provides a beautiful direct night view of Tiantang. It's incredibly convenient, located within a 10-minute walk of major attractions like Yingtian Gate, Mingtang Tiantang, and the Tanggong Yuyan restaurant. Breakfast was a highlight, featuring a variety of homemade soups, with the beef soup being particularly outstanding – far better than what you'd find in a restaurant. But the absolute best part was having a washing machine! Traveling during the summer means sweating constantly, so having laundry facilities available was an absolute lifesaver.

This was easily my favorite guesthouse throughout my entire Luoyang trip! The location is absolutely superb, and the staff were incredibly warm and attentive. They provided welcome fruit in the room, and you can even try your hand at traditional rubbings. One evening, when I made a last-minute request for ice, they thoughtfully prepared it and placed it in the mini-bar, making sure it wouldn't melt too quickly. They also gave us fantastic recommendations for local attractions and cuisine. All in all, highly recommended! Plus, it's super photogenic! 😄

The room was minimalist, very clean, and featured comfortable bedding. However, the absolute standout feature is the incredible view – it's worth staying just for that! The staff were extremely helpful and accommodating. The location is also very convenient for visiting nearby attractions. Luoyang has been experiencing scorching temperatures recently, making it difficult to venture out during the day. Consequently, we didn't have a chance to explore the city's attractions. Fortunately, we could still enjoy a breathtaking view from our balcony, which somewhat made up for the missed opportunities.

The location is superb, with plenty of attractions nearby, and a taxi ride to the museums costs just over ten RMB.
The room was spotlessly clean, the bedding was excellent, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive.
The breakfast, in particular, deserves special praise. It was fantastic, offering a wide variety of local specialties with generous portions.
My only minor suggestion would be to consider upgrading the in-room hairdryers to high-speed models, as the current ones tend to get quite hot and are very slow.

The location is fantastic, right next to Mingtang and Tiantang, making it incredibly convenient. You can even see Tiantang directly from the hotel. The ambiance is elegant and serene; each room is designed to be separate, ensuring a great sense of privacy. It's built around large trees, offering a wonderful connection to nature. The service was very attentive and detailed, with thorough explanations. Breakfast was exquisite and featured local specialties, which I really enjoyed.

Luoyang truly lives up to its reputation as an ancient capital, with particularly stunning night views. Jiujianfang Hotel, located near Mingtang, boasts an excellent spot. Yingtianmen and Mingtang-Tiantang are just a short stroll away, both majestic and grand, offering breathtaking nightscapes. You'll spot countless young women dressed in Hanfu posing for photos. The vicinity of Jiujianfang is also home to numerous Hanfu rental shops and lively late-night food stalls. This makes it an ideal place for young travelers to stay.

The view from the hotel balcony is absolutely stunning. Downstairs, there's a stylish makeup studio called 'Huajianfu,' which is perfect for an immediate photoshoot on the balcony after your makeover. The wide selection of TV channels kept the kids thoroughly entertained. The Mousse bedding was incredibly comfortable, guaranteeing a restful night's sleep. The hotel's location is excellent, very close to nearby attractions, easily reachable by foot or a short ride on local transport. All the staff were exceptionally warm and enthusiastic, contributing to a wonderful overall experience.
