Shuiyun Yaju River View B&B (Fenghuang Ancient City Branch)

For a competitive price, this stay has an amazing view of a beautiful part of old town and lighted bridges that are still outside of the main parts of town. The bed was great, there was water and airconditioning (however, no coffee and tea), and the owner would go to lengths to help out visitors. For instance, the owner personally walked me to a nice spot for breakfast. However, there are some clear shortcomings with the room that do not take away from what the room is, but might be dealbreakers to people visiting. First of all, as a B&B I did expect a breakfast service. It was nice of the owner to recommend me breakfast in the town because it is cheaper than the breakfast he can order for me, but it was disappointing that a B&B has no options for a breakfast made in-house. Since it was for an additional fee, it did not matter that much to me, but breakfast as part of your stay is not a given. Furthermore, the room. I had the budget room, so this might be unique to that room, but the walls are very thin and I was able to hear the people outside and upstairs (and if I can hear them, they can hear me). In the off-season especially, noise is rare and this was not a huge deal, but noises were so clear that I was not always sure of my privacy. Lastly, the room had a shower in the bathroom not separated from the toilet, with a rain shower. This got me excited, but the water pressure seemed too low to use it, and the shower was underwhelming. Note that these are nitpicks, since the stay was very pleasant. I think for the beautiful view alone, this stay is perfect especially for couples. So, I would recommend this stay to anyone, just be adviced for some of the things mentioned here!

The hotel is located at the downstream with good scenic river view. It's more quiet and within the walking distance to the attractions. The staff are very helpful to meet at the drop off site to guide to the hotel. Overall very happy with this booking.

The room is really nice, big and comfortable. The view is wonderful (see the picture). The staff is kind and helpful.
