Architecture and design of dwelling, quality of amenities, value of money, hospitality of host and hostess. It was truly one of kind experience. We noticed the place was rated “the most elegant courtyard” in town upon arrival, and it surely felt that way. It was designed in the style of traditional Chinese courtyard, with beautiful, living plants tastefully positioned throughout the property and in rooms - the hostess is also a floral artist. Everywhere you turn, it is a picture-perfect scene directly cut from a book or a movie. There are tea sets on table and newly harvested tea. A fruit plate was filled with the day’s fresh choices. Books are real, good books, not those only put there for decoration. The hotel staff was also very helpful. Seeing that we sometimes left our door ajar, she thoughtfully ignited mosquito-repellent herds around the vicinity. It is a place one might feel like living in a dream, surrounded by the ambiance of thousands of years of traditional Chinese culture. The moment you entered the hotel and closed the door behind you, you leave the hustling, bustling world outside, and entered one serene, zen and beautiful.

The location is amazing - you can walk everywhere you want to go and it’s a really interesting area. The bed and bedding is super comfortable. The walls are thin and the bathroom window was slightly open so noise did travel but it’s all part of the experience. The owner /host is very welcoming and helpful. We loved staying there even though the room is small.

There was nothing negative to say, but in summer a small fridge would be handy to keep a cold drink.

The place is a little oasis located in the centre of the historical town. The renovated courtyard house has just a handful of rooms. It’s a very peaceful place and the personal attention of the hostess makes one feel at home from the moment one arrives.
