We are a couple from Germany travelling in China for the first time. An interesting country with particularly friendly people!
The location of the hotel is very good. Good beds. The room is spartanly furnished and a bit sparse. Windows not tight but nice and big. No proper reception area, but friendly staff. Quite basic for the price.
English is hardly spoken here, but that’s not really a problem these days. The staff are incredibly kind, and the room condition is excellent for the price.

PPops HaridassFirstly, as a foreigner, this type of accommodation is typically known as a micro hotel which has no visible signage indicating the venue. One has to rely on the goodness of passrbys to find the hotel.
Secondly, the dingy reception desk was unmanned with not a soul in sight to enquire further. After a long wait, what appears to be the manager and his assistant arrives but continue to engage in their laundry duties rather than attending to their guest.
Thirdly, the suite itself while very practical in Asian countries, is dusty and ranks with staleness and definitely not for foreigners by Western standards. The ablution area is squeezed into a less than 2sq meter area with a broken shower head virtually hanging over the toilet bowl. It's quite clear that the chrome work has not seen detergents applied to it in months.
While this type of accommodations may be acceptable by local standards, it should be advertised as such with clear pictures showing the ablution areas.
However, if ia guest's stay is measured by the satisfaction of their sleep, then I will admit that the bed itself scores a 8 out of 10. The mattress was indeed very good and firm.
Will I return again, NO!
ผผู้เข้าพักThis groovy kiln hotel is outside of a mountain village near Shaolin scenic area. It is especially great if you have your own car. We did not, so the kind owner helped me get a taxi!!! The breakfast is Chinese style--porrige, veggies, mian tiao (bread), & excellent fruit, plus tea. It was a big meal & held us for most of the day of walking. We liked everything about this groovy hotel except for one thing: the water pressure in the shower was very weak. Bird lovers can see several amazing species from the courtyard. Rock aficionados and plant lovers will enjoy walking near the hotel. It's got great geology at its' doorstep! We loved seeing bees, butterflies, and a walking-stick insect there! It's very quiet and relaxing, and the mountain breeze rustled the trees.
