皮皮蛋_001Small boutique hotel ran by a very friendly woman and man. The 古镇 itself is very quiet and the surrounding town doesn't have much going on. Everyone is in bed by 10. Perfect if you're looking for a quiet couple days, but definitely worth mentioning!
There is an amazing trail system all around Ninghai and the hostess can give you many excellent hiking recommendations. She's local to the area and (as far as I understood) the property which is now the hotel belonged to her family at the beginning of the 20th century. There's even a good bit of original furniture around.
The guest rooms are clearly brand new and exceptionally clean. If you are sensitive to odors, you might ask them to remove some of the wormwood (艾草) from your room ahead of time. Two bags of it are hung in every room. I happen to like it but I could imagine some might find it too strong.
The hostess speaks some English and works very hard to accommodate everyone. She even fed us dinner when we arrived too late to eat in the town.
Overall very nice, we'll definitely stay here again if we go to Ninghai.
ผผู้เข้าพักI went here last Spring Festival, and liked it so much that I stayed here again. The bed was very comfortable, and it was quiet. The hotel is right next to Tianming Lake, which is a great scenic spot, and there are many share bikes nearby, so getting around is easy. I really enjoyed my stay here.
DDawnieThe receptionists were very helpful despite not speaking English. We used translation apps which worked well. The hotel is right opposite a huge mall with restaurants and shopping.
The room was dingy, dark and in a poor state. The walls were a dark nicotine brown with the wallpaper peeling from the seams on the wall. The AC didn’t work, brown water poured from the shower so I didn’t shower and only one of three lamps in the room worked. The headboard and carpet had dirty marks on them too. Probably the most disappointing hotel I have ever stayed at in China and I paid 597rmb for the privilege.
This hotel needs maintenance to upgrade the place, the lifts, the rooms. It’s like stepping back into the 1970s.
