A quaint,i think should be called homestay,run by a middle aged couple with excellent service.place was very clean (i think they had a recent renovation)
Mu room had a balcony with a view of the zucheng bridge(i hope i got that right).
The towels provided has a funny feel😄😄
They offered free flow of bottled water.
The place is just within a few minutes of the main street of the ancient town with plenty of eateries(though i feel they more or less offered the same stuff).
The whole street where this place is located are full of such small hotels.
This place is worth a 2nd stay if you are in zhenyuan again
The xijiang miao Village is sooo beautiful!!! The family who owns the Guesthouse is absolutely lovely, making everything and more to help us with everything we needed. They also offer some free fresh fruits, water, coffee and snacks. The room was big and bed comfortable and clean, good hot shower and many blankets! Location was also super close to the main square near shops and restaurants. We loved our stay.
Just at the east gate of the ancient town, it's a perfect location to explore the ancient town. Not far away you have the pedestrian street so everything is easy to reach by walk.
Even if it's at a tourist attraction, the rooms are quiet and you can have a good sleep.
JJohn Charles ChasteenThe Creekside Inn has modern, elegantly designed rooms (I can’t emphasize that enough), a very good location with beautiful views, and a friendly, capable staff, that truly goes out of its way to be helpful— all of this at quite favorable prices. The water is hot and the bed is heated for winter in the mountains. I stayed four days, and would’ve stayed longer had I had time, just because I felt so wonderfully at home there. I left with plans to return with my wife next year. English spoken. Oh,and I got a splendid breakfast tailored to my individual dietary requirements! I have visited 35 countries and traveled all over China, and I have never been happier with my accommodations anywhere!
ผผู้เข้าพักWe really loved this hotel! Very beautiful room with an amazing view, everything is very clean and well maintained. The hosts are lovely and gave us a very warm welcome. We really recommend this place to stay in Zhenyuan!
DDutchindisguiseStay end Nov 2025 - solo traveler. The hostal is located in a touristic area with shops and restaurants, about 20 mins taxi drive from Kaili south high speed train station. Nice area. The property consist of a shop and upstairs dorm & guestrooms. Facilities: a common kitchen, bathroom w/squat toilet / shower and a common space aren’t new but good enough. Beds in dorm are hard wooden boards (a thick topper would be good..) lack a curtain & personal light but do have an individual socket and shelf.
Consider staying here in winter; there is no heating in the common space/kitchen/bathroom. Doubt if they turn on the airco heating at dorm during day & evening. When I stayed here, it was 1 day very cold and they allowed the airco in dorm to be turned on only at 21:00.
Is this a good place for foreigners to stay during other seasons? - I would say ‘yes’ but than again: I speak and understand some Chinese language. Kaili and surroundings (Miao villages) are lovely to visit but might be hard to get to as a foreigner without Chinese language knowledge. Unless you like a challenge and have enough money to pay for individual Didi taxis instead of shared ones.
The shop girls did their best, they helped me arrange a taxi to Langde, but they are not trained as receptionists so don't expect too much. I doubt if they speak English at all.

FFatCatMiaoLady boss accommodated my multiple transport arrangement requests and provided recommendations to eat and to explore the village. Very patient, helpful and even offered me a boiled egg to go before I catch my train. Insisted on helping me to carry my suitcase up and down the stairs even though it's heavy and more than half her size. Accommodation is basic but more than sufficient for a lodging in a relatively small remote village area, towels, toothbrushes, body wash and shampoo provided. Western toilet and hot running water. Central location and close to the supermart and Souvenir area. Cosy guesthouse and most importantly, spectacular view! Very quaint and peaceful stay. If you're sensitive to noise, bring ear plugs as it's a wooden house so you can feel and hear movements, as well as chickens cooing in the morning, which didn't affect me. I absolutely love this place!
