Xiangxi Prefecture Homestays

The homestay is newly renovated and the room is comfortable and sparkling clean. The owner couple is very hospitable and helpful, making my stay memorable and warm. Thank you!

The room is very clean and comfortable with good scenery and view.  The owner and staffs are very kind to us even we cannot speak Chinese. They tried helping and gave suggestion. The location is also good. It's close to many spots. The owner call Taxi for us and facilitate everything well on the day we left. She also provided ginger sugar as souvenir. I highly recommend this accommodation to the visitors who are planning to visit Fenghuang old town.

Located in a small alley, you’ll need to walk down some steps to get to this alley from 豹子灣 (Baoziwan Jetty). The hotel is in the quiet corner of FengHuang Old Town, the popular nightspots and pubs on the other end of the river. Our room is on the 4th floor (entrance and reception are located on the 2nd floor, bizarre) overlooking the river, giving magnificent views during the entire stay. Room is small, but comes equipped with a powerful air conditioning. Bathroom is a bit tricky as it is a step up, and the drainage is not very efficient, if you have the shower running for some time, there’s risk of water overflowing into the room.

The Xuanyuan was terrific. The young girl operating it was such a cutie and made us feel so welcome. She let us know in advance we would be collected from the railway station and got us into our room as soon as possible. I am sorry I didn’t get her name but she went out of her way. The room was on the top floor with balcony, has all the modern appliances and fittings, ducted air conditioning and good shower. In departure we were supplied with a terrific home made Chinese breakfast. The b&b was situated just outside the entrance to the old town which was great.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an outstanding piece of architecture that blends so well in the ancient city. All the modern amenities you could ask for. The tranquility environment gives you peace when you stay there. The service was exceptional over and above what most hotels give. Our special thanks to the owner who provided us with generous and wonderful hospitality. Thanks to the girls who helped us to move our luggage out to the main road. She also recommended restaurants and nearby attractions. The room was modern, spacious and luxurious. The lighting and decor in the room was so thoughtful. The mattress was so comfortable and everything was sparkly clean. The breakfast was freshly made, it was delicious. The location was at the centre of the ancient city but you wouldn't hear the noise. A lot of people come to take photos at the main door. We love this place and will come back again, ❣️

This hotel was such a gem! Located in a beautiful scenic area, it felt like a peaceful retreat. The service was outstanding—the staff went above and beyond by picking us up, dropping us off, and even helping with our luggage, which made our stay so much easier. The room itself was spacious, comfortable, and had an amazing view. One standout feature was the heated toilet seat, which was such a treat during the cold season. Having a washer included was another huge bonus, especially for longer stays. Overall, everything about this hotel made us feel at home. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for comfort, great service, and stunning surroundings!

New and clean accommodation, The location of the accommodation is not on the river but near the river. Add a little money and you can choose a room with a river view. It is near Nanhua Bridge, so there is no noise from the pubs at night. When you arrive at Fenghuang Station, the accommodation will let you pick up a Maglav ticket, sit and enjoy the view, go to the station near the accommodation and let the car pick you up, help you carry your luggage. Importantly, the accommodation has free local costumes, you can change into them for walking around or taking pictures without any conditions. Before leaving, they also gave us snacks, helped us carry our luggage to the taxi.

I’m pretty sure this hotel is in the best location in Furong! The views of the waterfall are spectacular! My room had a balcony and I swear I had the best room in the town! They added me on WeChat and we were able to message on that and use a translate button to understand each other, as they don’t speak English. The hotel also has a rooftop that has incredible views over the waterfall too. They picked me up and dropped me off at the train station for free. They also allowed me to fly my drone from the rooftop which was great because it allowed me to keep an eye on it! You don’t need long in Furong, one or two nights maximum, but you may as well book a hotel with the best views, so stay here!

Traveled in December, it was nice for us as there wasn’t a lot of people. Really easy to communicate with them through Wechat. They got us a car for train station pick up and drop off. Upon arriving, someone came out to get us. It’s a flight of stairs down first (they offer to help with luggage) but would say to pack light because we were struggling. It’s a couple minutes walk to the place, I believe they have two, so depends which one they bring you to? We got the connecting rooms via balcony. It was nice because it was two rooms and each room had its own bathroom. We were able to see the water bridge (I believe) right outside the balcony which was nice. Good thing we were just on the first floor so with our luggages, stairs wasn’t too bad. Since it was not peak season, even with the bar nearby, it was not too loud for us at night. There’s some restaurants and photoshoot shops nearby as well. We did the photoshoot store right next to this stay and it was just ok for reference, feel like you can get cheaper elsewhere. Everything was pretty clean but there were some issues. Since it was December, it was cold. And when we first arrived, there was no hot water (just all freezing cold water). They said water heater was just cleaned or something when I asked. They said hot water should be back at night but our water when we showered wasn’t too promising. And then the heater was barely warming up the room so we were basically freezing. We took out all our jackets and all and we were still cold. Our room door to the balcony window was also broken which I was frustrated at first since it was cold, no hot water, heater not working, cold air blowing in. They eventually fixed it and I did appreciate the lady giving us portable heaters for the room to use. Overall, I think it’s not a bad place.

The room is located in the core area of ​​the ancient city, with complete facilities and cleanliness. The night view of the water curtain movie is very beautiful at night. The boss is very enthusiastic. He gave us a hand-drawn map and made a guide for us to visit the ancient city. The recommended night tour was also very beautiful. The evening party was also very good, and buying tickets from the boss is cheaper than online. Recommended, recommended, recommended!
