This hotel is non-smoking, however there was someone smoking, which resulted in odor and smoke in the hall way. The staff members were exceptionally kind and accommodating, and I appreciate their helps a lot.

I really enjoyed the rustic vibes of the hotel, which made it a cosy stay to rest up from all the activities in the city. It's also a really short walk from all the amazing shopping and food options in the Ximending area, which meant that I was basically spoilt for choice throughout my stay.

The hotel offers a great buffet breakfast. It is near different forms of public transportation and landmarks. Unfortunately, the basement units don't have windows, and the plumbing can be noisy at times where I stayed.

Near to XiMenDing
Walking distance to XiMen MRT station as well as XiMenDing shopping & entertainment district is a plus point. Room is spacious clean, however the wifi is weak & intermittent once away from the main lobby. So I have to get my work done & email sent at lobby in order not to use up my roaming data.
