General Ya Lu Inn

Room was big and spacious, and as pictured. Loved the huge window that looked out into the courtyard. The place is also stylishly done up and looks quite new, there's a tearoom where you can try all sorts of tea. Was positively surprised by the complimentary afternoon tea served - one big platter of fruits and baba! However there's one thing I didn't like and hence I won't recommend this place - if you don't like hard beds, this place won't be suitable for you. Found the bed extremely hard, so hard that when I first sat on it I thought I was sitting on a wooden plank. I even flipped over the bed sheet just to check there was a mattress underneath, there was, it's just super duper hard. Never seen a mattress this hard before, I wouldn't even call it a mattress lol. And they put a fairly thick topper on top of it, and it was still uncomfortable. I happened to be alone so I took the duvet from the other bed, folded it into half to make it thicker and slept on it. Was slightly better but still, not a great sleeping experience. It's unfortunate because otherwise, I quite liked the place. Oh and location wise, it's also a distance from the main town centre (20 mins), which can be a little eery when you walk back at night in the dark. The good thing is its near the fields but yeah, away from the main streets in the town.
