Jiuqi Shuidiao Getou Diaojiaolou Hotel

Very good location with a nice view of the river. Clean rooms. Reception very friendly as well and very helpful.

The double bedroom with two single beds and a Mahjong table was surprisingly spacious. Having the bathroom divided in toilet and shower was practical although hot water wouldn't come out unless the sink was also open. The mattresses were comfortable (average to soft for westerners standards) and bigger than expected. The hotel is located in a quieter part of town, away from pubs with live music, so it's easier to rest at night. But it's also surrounded by places to eat, have messages and buy souvenirs. The room has sockets compatible with western European appliances. The staff was nice and helped us buy discounted tickets to the town attractions and a Miao musical show (we had a Chinese speaker in our group so I don't know how it would have been with the language barrier) and also booked a taxi for us to leave the town which was very convenient. If you have a lot of luggage use the entrance from the street not facing the river as you'll have to enter through a restaurant and go up a narrow flight of stairs otherwise. Good value for money and overall experience. Would recommend!

Very good view with no obstacle. Quiet in the late evening and not too far from the central part of the city
