This hotel was such a unique and great experience! Read the info book on the desk for fun things to do. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. A little chilly but that is normal for winter in this style old wood building. Shower is hot and food is delicious. Especially the corn pancakes! Be careful if you are vegetarian to ask if the vegetable dishes have meat or not… the gym and yoga room are really great!

What a fabulous place. I loved it here - not just the beautiful buildings/ gorgeous room / town - the staff & owner were so warm and welcoming - helping with ideas of what to do/ where to go and also helping with planning my onward journey. Thank you!

It’s not just the facilities but the service and the thinking behind things which makes this place world class and a friendly home away from home.

The Linden Commons is a special place, located in the heart of Xizhou Ancient Town. We appreciated the care and hospitality of the hosts, the delicious food offered by the restaurant and the comfortable and quaint rooms. Jeanee and Brian are lovely hosts who were always going above and beyond to make sure our stay was enjoyable. Highly recommend a stay here!

If you choose a hotel in Xizhou, it must be Xilin Garden. Because of the off-season, I was lucky enough to be directly upgraded to a luxury king room. The bedding is extremely comfortable, and unique activity designs such as hotel experience, local cultural introduction and morning market visit make Xizhou more lively. Mr. and Mrs. Linden are very friendly and the service staff are very nice. I fell in love with Xilinyuan and will come again next time~

I stayed in 7 B&B hotels during the 7 days around Erhai Lake, and I stayed in this one on May 1st.
Facilities: Complete facilities.
Hygiene: The room is very hygienic.
Environment: Very unique, it is a hotel transformed from a private mansion in the Republic of China period, which is equivalent to living in a cultural relic hhhh.
Service: The service is very good 👍, the service of a star hotel. Borrow a fruit knife to cut the fruit, and then the service staff cut it and sent it over.
Welcome afternoon tea: The afternoon tea is also good. You can have afternoon tea at another Xilinyuan. Outside the wall is the Internet celebrity wheat field, coupled with the great Cangshan sunset and sunset.
Souvenirs: The souvenirs are too thoughtful. The postcards are migratory birds they took themselves, and the tea is also picked by themselves.
In addition, during the May Day holiday, the prices of many hotels skyrocketed, and the price of this one is still very conscientious.
In short, if you are in Xizhou, I highly recommend this one! (By the way, the skirt I dyed in Xizhou is too beautiful!

The hotel is warm and feels like home. The internal layout and aesthetics of the old building are excellent, and care can be seen everywhere. Special thanks to Xia Min and Xiao Su, two Bai girls who accompanied us to the morning market and patiently explained the local culture and ancient architecture. These high-value services provided by the hotel are not available in other B&Bs. The breakfast is very attentive. We ate in the beautiful courtyard of the ancient house during the three days we were in Xilinwan. It was very delicious. Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Lin Deng for such a beautiful Xizhou. We will go to Xilinwan again next time.

This is my third time in Xizhou. This time I finally stayed at Xilinyuan, which I always wanted to visit. I booked their new courtyard, Baocheng Mansion. The location is very good. Sifang Street is just a few steps away. Several favorite restaurants and snacks are nearby. Avoid holidays. There are not many guests staying here, but the breakfast is still very rich. There are Chinese and Western styles. Afternoon tea is also provided. The room is on the second floor. It is very spacious. The sun is very good in the morning. There is also a library and a gym in the store. I met the boss several times. He speaks Chinese very well. The staff is also very enthusiastic. It is a very good accommodation experience. I will come again next time.
