Yi County Hotels with Balcony

This guesthouse is located right inside the scenic area, making it super convenient for resting after an evening stroll. The decor is charmingly traditional, perfectly complementing the Huizhou architectural style. The guesthouse itself feels like an integral part of the scenic area, featuring a garden restaurant and a coffee bar where you can even pet cats. The owner is fantastic, offering luggage pickup and drop-off services right from the bus station. It's a highly recommended place to stay.

I am filling this review out as the person who booked and paid for the room on behalf of my guest / driver, who stayed here for eight days. The room was conveniently located on the ground floor, and despite being adjacent to the main lobby, it was reasonably quiet. A set menu breakfast with nine small dishes was provided every morning in the restaurant, and was very healthy and beautifully presented. Cleaning was done every morning by aunties who knocked around 10a.m. to check if cleaning was requested. Parking onsite for free and EV charging was also available very conveniently next to the hotel. Although the hotel room was non-smoking, the driver smoked both inside the room and in the public lobby, but was not ticked off or asked to smoke outside (!). Staff were very courteous and friendly, always helping with any issue and happy to answer any questions. On departing, both the driver and myself received local biscuits as a gift. Really wonderful place to stay with an extremely well trained, polite family of hospitality experts.

What an absolute pity...... that we only stayed for one night. It was a totally relaxing and perfect location for us to put our feet up after hiking for 3 days in HuangShan. We booked the detached grand suite which allowed us to have access to a whole traditional home with 3 bedrooms. All bedrooms had its own bathroom and toilet, heating... basically modern facilities and tastefully decorated. For me, it felt like staying in an old traditional home in one of the kung fu movies that I grew up watching. Not only did we have the whole house to ourselves, we had our own private garden (across from the house), where there is a swing, entertaining area and even a stove for us to light a fire. The couple owner are so lovely to deal with even before our stay began. They ensured that they are ready to greet us just outside the village at our arrival time. Please note that no taxis are allowed into the village and all visitors must purchase an entry ticket before entering the village. This can be purchased on Trip.com or at the entrance of the village. The owner lady was on hand to help us and showed us to our accommodation. She had even turned on all the heating in the rooms to ensure that we're nice and comfortable when we arrived. Map and points of interest were also provided for us. As we had to leave early in the morning (before sunrise), the owners happily arranged to have our luggage transported to outside the village where our taxi was waiting for us. It was such a pleasant and relaxing stay that, again, it is such a pity we couldn't have stayed longer. Definitely highly recommend staying at She De Yuan.

Our room is a pretty and cute room that is on the first floor and facing the garden. The room is huge with two huge beds and spacious with a couch and hanging racks with enough hangers for two. The amenities are acceptable but there is an unpleasant smell in the WC area. We like that the hotel is located at the end of the street, away and yet close to the busyness of the street. Left turn after exiting the hotel will lead to the moon pond and the very nice dessert stall 宏颜知己 is less than 3 min walk ahead.  The staff are helpful but they can improve on front desk management skill. They appear confused when we arrived in a group with different bookings for different types of rooms. The rooftop can use some lightings at night so guests can still enjoy the town especially if they arrive later and only staying for a night.   Our greatest disappointment is that we did not receive the souvenir included in our bookings. We were all tired when we arrived in the evening after 6pm and leaving next morning.. The hotel could have prepared and given out to us upon our check-in. This damaged our overall experience with the hotel.

Hygiene: Clean Facilities: Complete Environment: Great environment, beautiful views from the windows, and the courtyard is also very charming Service: The owner is very nice and provides pick-up and drop-off service at the scenic area entrance Most importantly, it's pet-friendly, which is fantastic!

Hidden deep within an alleyway, this centuries-old house, Zhang Gongguan, feels like stepping into another time the moment you push open its doors. Inside, you'll find intricately carved wooden ceilings, a tranquil courtyard with banana trees. My child and I explored every nook and cranny, upstairs and down. We sat in the garden, feeling completely at ease and immersed, with a couple of well-behaved cats and dogs peacefully napping beside us, as if time itself had slowed down. Zhang Gongguan is like a mini-museum. The ambiance you get from the few open courtyards in Hongcun, you can experience 80-90% of it right here at Zhang Gongguan, and you even get to stay the night! The owner picked us up at the village entrance, and we ordered some steaming hot Huizhou dishes, which tasted authentic and delicious. It's just a few minutes' walk to Nanhu Lake and other attractions, yet it's free from the hustle and bustle of the main street. Strolling around in the early morning and evening, sitting by the lake in peace before most tourists arrive, allows you to take in all the beautiful scenery. I took so many stunning photos! Staying at Zhang Gongguan offers a truly unique experience in Hongcun. I dare say it's one of the most unforgettable guesthouses I'll ever stay in.

Overall, it was decent, but there were quite a few flaws. Firstly, everyone said the butler would add WeChat in advance, but that didn't happen. The showerhead in the second bedroom was broken, and the window in the master bedroom's shower room couldn't close properly. The turndown service was really just a formality; they rushed in to do it as soon as it was light, haha. And the goodnight soup was only provided one night. The iron flower show and fish lanterns were great, but the 90-minute spa was relatively average.

The owner was a bit elusive, communicating entirely through WeChat, but they arranged for someone to pick us up and drop us off. The room was clean and had a small courtyard. It was very close to Moon Pond. We arrived around 6 PM, got settled, and then went out just in time to see the night view of Moon Pond. When we left, the owner took us to the roadside to catch a taxi and even helped us load our luggage into the Didi car.

I'm very satisfied with everything, the only downside is the poor soundproofing. Located in the scenic area, it's convenient to go anywhere. The owner even offers to help with luggage in a small car, which is super convenient. Although it's a bit old, everything is very clean, and the balcony is quite large. Excellent value for money. The only downside is the soundproofing. The balcony is connected to the neighbor's, which is a bit awkward. Even with the doors and windows closed, you can clearly hear anyone talking in the yard. It's quite noisy during the day, but very quiet at night.

Guanlu Village was an unexpected surprise! ✅The rooms in the main building were very convenient and had a great view, facing the countryside. They were very close to the restaurant and parking lot, so no shuttle was needed. ✅The room design was wonderful. It was spacious, had a great view, and had all the necessary features! The bathtub strap and bed rail were thoughtfully provided. ✅The best part was that you could rent an electric car. It was very convenient for visiting Guanlu Village, Nanping Village, and other places! There were also activities, so be sure to check the official account. During National Day, you can go rice threshing! ⭕️They could have provided some children's washbasins. The washbasin is quite high, making it difficult for preschoolers to brush their teeth. ⭕️The restaurant could improve its cooking skills. 😂The service level could be improved, and the speed of clearing plates and other things could be improved. ❌The rural roads were extremely difficult to navigate, and the intersections with large vehicles were extremely dangerous. If you are not familiar with the road conditions or driving from other places, do not drive at night! !!!
