A wonderful traditional house with all commodities, calm, very well located in a small street very close to the city center. But, above all, we appreciated especialy the kindness and disponility of Suming, the owner, and his son Sam who was always ready to direct us by phone. Suming took us to a very interesting wholesale fruit market, offered us to join for tee and gave us plenty of informations about local life…There is a kitchen you can use, a barbecue on a terrasse, a kool patio where you can relax, and the house is very clean and nicely decorated. We spent only two nights but it was the perfect place to relax after 10 days in the ricefields. Thanks again Sumong and Sam.

Owners were so lovely and invited us to talk over tea. Rooms were so clean and comfortable! Location is close by to many things in the ancient city.

The Inn is inside the Old town in an ideal location, as one can walk everywhere. The hotel is a reconstructed traditional old home with inner lovely courtyard, a lovely wood tea table to welcome guests. We had a family room with two large rooms, one with two very comfortable double beds, the other a lounge. The air-conditioning works very well. The equipment is all new and good quality, with a great bathroom with good water pressure. Our room was very quiet, like the rest, overlooking the beautiful tiled roofs of Jianshui old houses. If you like Chinese breakfast then the host will gladly prepare the soups for you, but if like Western breakfast there is a pastry shop about 150 meters away where you can buy yoghurts, muesli, cakes and eat them in the inner garden downstairs. All can be put in the fridge in the kitchen. Our host Shen Ang is unbelievably hospitable and knowledgeable. He helped us discover the city and drove us to see the double Dragon Bridge, the old French train station, the new Jianshui city and took us to the train station, he is amazing. Only 10 minutes away, past the pastry shop, is the famous city gate Chao Yang, with access to the main pedestrian boulevard by which we accessed all the historic sites in Jianshui: the Confucius Temple, the Family Zhu Gardens with the over 40 villas where this local dynasty lived.
