Hotele z: breakfast w Jiangxi, China

Over the past few years, I've enjoyed coming to Yichun for the selenium-rich hot spring waters. A friend recommended this hotel to me. Although it's an older property, the staff are quite prompt in resolving issues. I stayed in a room with a private hot spring tub, which was great for immediate soaking and relaxation – a really thoughtful design. The bathroom even had amenities like body lotion. It's peak season now, and the hotel is almost fully booked. The hotel's location is excellent, right on the edge of Wentang Town and quite close to the Tourist Service Center. I'll definitely keep this place in mind for future stays.

The environment was decent, and breakfast offered a good variety. Overall, the service was okay. However, the main drawback, likely due to management issues, was the poor elevator experience. Not only were there cigarette butts, but the long bench inside was covered in thick dust, as were other parts of the elevator. Upon entering the restroom, a strong smell of urine hit me. Since the room's door closer was faulty, and it was late, I decided to just deal with it and go to sleep. Around 5 AM, I was woken up by the noisy street outside. The room phone was useless, so I eventually had to call the front desk to get engineering to come fix it, which took over ten minutes. At breakfast, I had to look through more than ten cups, all of which were chipped. It was truly a very disappointing experience.

Overall, I'm satisfied with the hotel. It's very close to the guesthouse reception center, probably about a 5-minute walk. Getting to the scenic area takes a little over ten minutes. The room size was quite good, not the 20 square meters that Ctrip stated – I guess there are varying sizes. The complimentary snacks, something like sour plums, were nice. Breakfast met the expected standard for this price point. They offer free luggage assistance to your room or near the guesthouse center. It's also very close to the bus stop for the high-speed train station. If you're sick and need medication, the hotel provides a complimentary car service to a nearby clinic, which is about a 5-6 minute drive.

I found this hotel temporarily with my colleagues on a business trip. I didn't notice the invoice problem when I booked it, but the front desk manager Shi was very professional and patient to help us solve it when I checked out. The hotel itself is also very good, the decoration and facilities are generally new, and the price-performance ratio is very good.

This guesthouse near Wangxian Valley offers incredible value for money, far exceeding our expectations. It's only a few minutes' drive from the scenic area, and the owner provides complimentary shuttle service, making getting around super convenient. The room was clean and tidy, with a cozy layout, and the bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, fully stocked with toiletries – every detail was well thought out. The owners were incredibly warm and hospitable, genuinely welcoming us with fresh fruit upon arrival and offering thoughtful recommendations for local eateries. Tucked away in the mountains, the guesthouse boasts a tranquil and quiet environment, free from traffic noise, ensuring a great night's sleep after a long day of exploring. With excellent facilities, convenient parking, and an affordable price, it's perfect for families or friends traveling together, and an outstanding choice for accommodation when visiting Wangxian Valley.

Immersive Location: Built into the mountainside, it's set on higher ground, avoiding the hustle and bustle of the main street. It's a 5-minute walk to key scenic spots like Qingyun Bridge, and you can catch a stunning sunset from the rooftop in the evening. The breakfast at Baihe Restaurant is delicious. You can also visit the百年围楼 (Centennial Enclosed Building) to enjoy freshly prepared Qianshan noodles while watching Gan Opera, making for a truly memorable experience. Smart Hardware: As a newer phase, the rooms have upgraded hardware, generally featuring floor heating, smart toilets, and voice-controlled central systems. Stay Benefits: Typically includes two 2-day valid scenic area tickets, free parking, and complimentary shuttle service within the scenic area.

Advantages The B&B is in the mountains, very quiet, the air is very good, the overall decoration is very warm, the room is quite clean, the courtyard is also very comfortable, there are two small swings, the boiled eggs for breakfast are delicious, tender and fragrant, and the white rice porridge is also well cooked. Disadvantages The room is small, the four pillows are very hard, and it is not easy to sleep. There is no TV in the room, and the sound insulation is very poor. Living on the first floor, you can hear the front desk calling when you close the door. I don’t know if the overall environment is too quiet. The bathroom is very cramped. The water temperature was very low when I took a shower around 10 o’clock. It was estimated to be 37 or 38 degrees. The air conditioning effect was not good when I took a cold shower. Glorious cold😷

Hello. We are a couple from Holland and are spending our third week of our vacation in China in Huangling cun. We planned to only spend one night in Huangling but we were enjoying ourselves here so much that we extended our stay with an extra night. The B&B is located at the top of the mountain and our room at the B&B was also on the topfloor. The hallways on each floor and the room itself are tastefully decorated with an eye for detail. The room is fully equipped. All is looking tidy and sparkling clean. The door next gives access to a roof terrace with laundry facilities and wiring for hanging clothes to dry. The boss (Mme Zhan) gave us a warm welcome and came down the mountain to pick us up where the taxi driver could not go any further up. Although we booked the Tatami room she suggested us to move into the room next door. That one comes with a balcony. We gladly accepted her advice. After having refreshed ourselves in the room she showed us the footpath up the mountain that leads to the entrance. She told us to contact her via Wechat at the end of the evening so that she could bring us back to the hotel again. The next morning she brought us down the mountain so that we could have breakfast near the bus station. from there we could easily take the bus to another beautiful old village in the neighbourhood, Likeng. The boss dropped us off and wished us a good day. We did not know that while we were eating the went back up to the B&B and came down again to bring us an umbrella to provide shelter from rain or sunshine. We did not request this. We very much appreciated this kind and polite gesture. We had a great time in Huangling village on our first day. Our second day was in Likeng village. The atmosphere in Likeng was very relaxing. It felt really authentic and the people here are very friendly and welcoming. Thank you boss and thank you all fine people in Huangling village and Likeng village. We had the time of our lives in your beautiful villages 😍

Disappointing stay here. We had no choice but to extend our stay because it was Chinese new year and very difficult to find another place to stay and also my husband was sick so we had to change our plans and stay an extra night so he could rest. The place smelled like smoke everywhere. We have a baby with us and wanted a smoke free place. Despite the signs in the lobby saying No Smoking, people were smoking there and the front desk people didn’t care. The towels in our room had ashes on them and smelled like smoke. They were also ripped and badly needed to be replaced. (We got a smoke free room and learned on our trip that all they do for smoke free rooms is open the windows to air it out before you arrive. 🤦🏻♀️) There was insufficient toilet paper when we arrived and although they did provide more when we asked it was just inconvenient. The toilet paper holder was broken so we had to find somewhere else to put the roll of toilet paper. The sink leaked and it was supposed to be a dry washroom which is one of the reasons why I booked the place but turned out to be a wet washroom. Incredibly inconvenient with a baby. The shower drainage was missing a cover and it didn’t feel safe for my child when showering because her little feet could get stuck inside it. One of the days we needed to rest a little longer and the housekeeper asked us when we were leaving so she could clean our room. We said we needed 2 more hours (around 2pm) she kept trying to peer inside our room and said she wanted to get off work early. I found that incredibly rude. I understand it’s CNY and you want to go home early but that’s not something you should say to a guest who paid to stay at the hotel. Front desk people also did not seem friendly. Never saw any of them smile. We obviously don’t speak Chinese fluently and they laughed at us when they couldn’t understand us and wasn’t helpful in any way. Overall, not a very pleasant stay. Would not stay here again.

This hotel is on the uphill, inside the Lushan attraction. If you come to Lushan/Jiujiang by train, you need to go to their Sightseeing bus centre, and take their sightseeing bus to go up to another bus centre, and just give a call to the hotel, they would pick you up by a comfortable car. We had an unpleasant encounter with the didi driver driving us to the uphill, the driver was rude, even said to me “I got no time, just buy the ticket faster” (you need to purchase a ticket for the didi car and for yourself to drive up, an hour drive btw). So glad that the hotel staffs were all so nice and understanding. They welcomed us warmly, even listened to me complaining about the driver’s behaviour and rude remarks. They presented us with a welcoming fruit platter too! The hotel is clean, and very bear to Ruqin Lake. For my room, we got to wear 2 sets of hanfu for free (just put a deposit first, they’ll return the depo after you return the clothes). The staffs helped us bring our luggages into the room, even offered extra towel and room slippers since we came in 3. You got to experience brewing chinese tea by yourself too, since they prepared chinese tea leaves and chinese tea pot set in the room. Since we arrived there around 3, and had to take shower and clean up first, so we would only be able to start exploring Lushan at 4. The hotel staffs at the reception were so kind to prepare us with a map and gave us recommendations on places we can go, in the best order, since they know we would be walking until late at night. The picture of the lake is Ruqin Lake, it’s just in front of the hotel. As for the next morning, we had to wake up early to get a morning train from jiujiang to jingdezhen, so I asked for the receptionist’s help to make a wake-up call, in which they actually called our room at 4am! Thank you so much. Overall, the stay here was amazing! We will find for JI Hotel the next time we travel to China.
