KKeith Heng JSThe boutique hotel is located in a really beautiful alley known as the flower alley, with exquisite rustic buildings and floral decorations. It is conveniently located near to the main attractions like the 西街 and many famous restaurants.
The hotel has pretty good amenities and it is quiet and relaxing. Our room had a big garden that we enjoyed as well. The huge projector was a plus point and great for movie nights. The breakfast is simple and perhaps can be improved, but if you’re looking for a quick and convenient bite it suffices. Otherwise, there’s plenty great options in the area as well.
Overall we really enjoyed the place as it was comfortable and conveniently located, while still being quiet and ambient.
ผผู้เข้าพักWe really enjoyed our stay at Gucheng Alley Yu Hotel and felt very welcome due to the warm, helpful and patient service from 小阳 and 小王!
The room was clean and really spacious, as seen in the attached photo, and peaceful at night.
The mattresses and blankets are perfect, which provides a good night's rest without leaving us feeling too warm or cold.
Breakfast is served at the Yalla雅拉 restaurant within the hotel compound, which serves a mix of Singapore-style (e.g. kaya toast) and Fujian food (Shacha noodles). Food is rather average though.
The hotel is located near the Quanzhou Bell Tower 泉州钟楼, making it within walking distance from Zhongshan Road (中山路) and West Street (西街), and also near excellent eateries such as 德文虾仔面 in East Street.
Leaving the following information to help anyone who is planning to reach the hotel by private hire car or taxi.
Please note that cars are unable to enter Zhongshan Middle Road (中山中路) and West Street (西街) due to barricades. The nearest drop off points for private hire cars, which we managed to find, are at Quanzhou Hotel (泉州酒店) and the ICBC Bank branch 中国工商银行(泉州开元支行) near the clock tower. Both of these locations will be a good 400 to 500 meters away from the hotel, with Quanzhou Hotel being the less busy drop off point, so please be prepared for the workout carrying your luggage to the hotel entrance!
SSugaryblueHad a comfortable stay at this hotel! It is well situated at a convenient location with a 15mins stroll to the nearby mall. Facilities were well equipped, room was clean and breakfast was ample. It was sweet that they served fruit plate and dessert to my room during the evening. They have their own huge spa centre around the corner, though I only discovered it at the end of my sta. At the same time, the individually operated massage place at the hotel lobby was just as convenient. Highly recommended if you are staying in Shishi!
