"Woke up in the middle of the night to fight mosquitoes and played for an hour. I got up for breakfast in the morning, because the card was ordered, there was nothing to eat, and the wedding was ready to start. It didn't matter if the guests were eating. The audition horn was deafening, and I was still smoking recklessly indoors. I was also drunk. The hotel is generally old, the location is in a residential area, the outside is messy, but the bed in the room is OK."

For guests traveling with families, this hotel is consistently one of the most popular choices.
"First of all, for a county town and a hotel of this quality and this price, it is really cost-effective. First of all, I would definitely recommend staying here if you come to Qufu to see the Sankong, because it is right inside the scenic spot, but the Sankong Scenic Area To be honest, the ticket price is not worth it. Maybe I can't see anything, but there is really nothing to see. I think a few trees are a little older, but we still have to be in awe of the sage Confucius, and there are scenic spots. I recommend buying the gadgets next to it. The electric rickshaw that costs 10 yuan for two people can still be used. The horse-drawn carriage has a bad smell and there are too many people. But the aunties like it better. The key is that the pony looks good. It’s hard work. The horse’s hooves are clattering and it feels like a horse-drawn carriage. It also adds a little bit of income to them. There are many students studying abroad. I recommend eating. I don’t know if this counts as advertising. I don’t know if you can chat with me privately. Back to the hotel, there are windows, but outside the windows are narrow and dirty courtyard walls. You can imagine that no wonder the curtains are drawn. I also specifically chose a window not close to the corridor, but I didn’t expect this. The hotel breakfast is very good, there are The pancakes that are a specialty of Qufu, but I can’t chew them. The noodles that are a specialty of Starway are still very delicious. The hotel has a self-service snack cabinet, which is still necessary for a county without nightlife. The room has a bit of a tidal smell. I’m in On the first floor, there is always a buzzing sound from the motor at night. The bed and pillows are quite comfortable. Anyway, I am on a business trip and it is a Huazhu Club. It is quite reliable. The attitude of the front desk is very good. The price is really good. Anyway, it comes with a lot of money. Breakfast, what kind of bicycle do you want?"

"I chose Manxinfu Hotel near the Confucius Temple in Qufu. It's right at the entrance of the Confucius Temple, making it the closest hotel to the temple. The rooms are beautifully decorated and have smart voice control. The movie streaming service with members is great. What's reassuring is the drinking water; it's an instant kettle, and the receptionist assured me the water is clean and hygienic. I went to Qufu to pray for blessings this year and will go again next year to fulfill my vow. I'll definitely choose to stay at this hotel again next year."

Lvxing♂qingwaFacilities: The hotel is newly opened, so everything is relatively new.
Cleanliness: Fairly clean.
Environment: So-so. Parking is limited and always full.
Service: No hot water for showers, especially in the dead of winter! They said it was broken and under repair on the first evening, but there was still no hot water by morning. The hotel showed no apology whatsoever, acting as if it were their due.
Breakfast was also mediocre; nothing special. Better to just find a random breakfast shop outside and have a bowl of wontons. Besides being very close to the Confucius Temple, it has no other advantages.

The room had a good air filter and it didn’t smell musty or smoking at all. The location was good in that it was close to the Confucius Temple and our stay included free tickets to see the 3 Confucious sites.

Because the direct train to Nishan Holy Land picks up in front of the Ji Hotel, we temporarily changed our stay to this hotel for two nights. Later, I discovered that the hotel is also very convenient to go to the Confucius Temple and Confucius Mansion and other three-hole scenic spots. It only takes a 10-minute walk. There are also many restaurants nearby to choose from, which is very convenient. There are many types of breakfast, but the restaurant is relatively small, so you have to go early for breakfast.
