I wanted to recommend this place, but really can’t. The rooms are quaint (if slightly less than spotless), and the location not bad (an easy 20 minute walk down a gentle hill to the city center). Some of the staff are very friendly and helpful. The simple breakfast provided was tasty (we seemed to be the only people staying at the hotel throughout our stay so it was made just for us).
However the behavior of the man serving breakfast was terrible. One the first morning he was simply stand-offish and unwelcoming. We felt like an inconvenience by turning up for breakfast. However on the second day he sat directly across the empty breakfast room, smoking while staring directly at me and interrogating my Chinese companion about me throughout the meal. It became very personal, making both my friend and I feel very uncomfortable indeed. I’ve lived in China for a number of years and am used to the curiosity regarding foreigners but this was on a completely different level, almost hostile. I’d suggest that foreigners at least find somewhere more welcoming to stay.
