Hotels in Fenghuang

"This is a wonderful hotel to stay at when visiting Fenghuang. Its about 15min taxi ride from train station and right to the hotel front door for 26 yuan. The staff are super friendly and helpful - communicate to them via wechat. I had a 25kg suitcase and staff carried it up 2 flights of stairs for me, theres no lift. The room and view is as pictured - has everything you need for a pleasant stay. 1 full day is enough to see everything - started around 10.30am and went back to hotel by 4.30pm to shower and rest then ventured out after 7pm for dinner and the night lights... got back at 10.30pm. If you pay extra to visit the local historical attractions and watch the show then its best to stay 2 nights - I just wandered the streets, ate and shopped. Theres some very nice and cheap souvenirs here! I really enjoyed my time in Fenghuang thanks to the hotel and staff. Simply amazing! Highly recommend this hotel. It may look far from ancient town centre on the map but only 10min walk. Wear comfy shoes, you will get a good workout exploring here!"

"Upon entering the guesthouse, a subtle floral scent greeted me, immediately lifting my spirits. I absolutely adored the beautiful view from the balcony; it was so captivating that I wished I could sit there all day. While the room wasn't huge, it was perfectly adequate. The guesthouse hosts were incredibly warm and friendly. A special thank you to the lady owner for helping me arrange a taxi. Many thanks! My trip was truly enhanced by meeting all of you."

"We are an English-speaking family of five, and the communication with the front desk staff was easy enough with a translation app. A staff member met us at the top of the road to help with luggage. Beware-- there are lots of steps to take luggage down from the main road, and then lot of steps to take luggage up to your room-- but that is par for the course staying in an old building with a river view. It would have been nice for the front desk to offer us a wechat account for ease of communication, as we didn't have a way to communicate with them once in our room without that due to the language barrier (we forgot to ask and certainly could have). Our room had an amazing view of the river and scenery and is literally right on the path within the ancient city. It is super close to other restaurants or convenience stores, which also means it's really loud at night (but we bring noise machines with us to block out the noise for sleeping). We would stay again!"

"Firstly, we booked a street side room, but I saw the room with a balcony over the river and it is well-worth the upgrade!! Highly recommend splurging for the river view. The owner/manager was great, spoke English, and was very helpful. He met us where the taxi dropped us and assisted with carrying our luggage. He did the same when we left, which was much appreciated. If you book pretty much any of the hotels along the river, you will need to walk a bit and it might be a bit difficult. One thing to be mindful of is that there are a lot of mosquitoes in the vicinity. That’s just part of the experience being along the river. The hotel provides a plug in device for mosquitoes and once you turn on the a/c, the mosquitoes tend to go away. Still, you may want to bring some bug spray. There were a couple other types of bugs around, but overall not too unpleasant. Again, nothing much any of the river-side inns can do about it. We stayed for just one night so even though the room is small, we managed ok. Overall, we highly recommend this inn, but go for the riverside view with balcony. It’s beautiful and you will be able to take very cute photos there."

"Based on other travelers' reviews, I ultimately decided on this guesthouse. Its location is excellent – just a few seconds after turning left from Nanhua Gate. If you're driving, you can pull right up to the entrance, and the owner will personally guide you to the parking lot. As soon as we stepped out of the car, a staff member was there to help with our luggage. We booked a triple room with a terrace. The elevator goes up to the fourth floor, so we had to walk one flight of stairs to reach our room. However, upon seeing the spacious terrace and unobstructed views, I was absolutely delighted. Having compared the terrace views of other places nearby, this one was truly ideal – a peaceful oasis amidst the bustle. It was very pleasant to enjoy a beer on the terrace in the evening, cooling off, but a sudden heavy downpour interrupted us. Although there was an awning for shelter, the rain was simply too heavy. In the middle of the night, with the rain beating down on the roof, I initially thought I wouldn't be able to sleep, but surprisingly, it turned into soothing white noise."

"The hotel is located in the middle of Tuojiang River, right beside the river, with a balcony near the big waterwheel. There are three performances in the river at night in the ancient city, and you can see one of them in this hotel. It is very convenient to go upstream or downstream. The car should be parked in the self-built parking lot outside the ancient city, and the boss should be notified to pick up and drop off, which is free. The room is OK, with air conditioning, so it is not cold to sleep at night. The boss is very good, helping to move the luggage and giving a souvenir before leaving."

"Had a fantastic stay at Jianyun Riverview Hostel. The location is fantastic as it is a minute’s walk from the main road where I got dropped off but it is also by the river and about 20 meters from the tower and about 100 meters from the central bridge. It is right in the middle of the ancient city with attractions in both directions. The room and the bathroom are modern, and well done. The views from the room are perfect and there are comfortable seats with views of the river for relaxing. The front desk staff Xiao Zhang helped with all my queries using WeChat translate and went above and beyond in ensuring a comfortable stay. The only issue was that the noise in the ancient city dies down only after 11pm but that’s not the hotel’s fault. All in all, a fantastic stay that rivals my stay in the Gdansk waterfront and at a fantastic price."

"In the heart of the Phoenix ancient city Clean and super modern Nice bed, pillow and linen! Spotless clean white  Very charming historical building, peaceful! Very friendly gentleman who helped us throughout our stay, can’t remember his name.  The hotel has a mini market selling very reasonably priced drinks! Very convenient!  Also they did our laundry which is free of charge! The gentleman arranged a taxi back to Fenhuangzheng train station for 40.00 yuan, which from the station the taxi drivers tried to charge us 250 yuan, be careful! If you prefer you can just take a bus from the station to town and vice versa for 7.00 yuan which is what we took to travel to town! We loved everything about our stay, from the hotel and the ancient town which is unforgettable! I would definitely stay again at this hotel."

"This place absolutely deserves a perfect five-star rating! The experience was so fantastic, I can't wait to tell everyone about it. From the moment we checked in until we checked out, the service was incredibly thoughtful and heartwarming. The staff were super responsive, instantly addressing any needs. Their attitude was consistently kind and gentle, showing great patience when helping with luggage and recommending local sights. They were genuinely friendly and approachable, making us feel completely at ease. The guesthouse's location is absolutely unbeatable! It's incredibly convenient for both exploring attractions and grabbing a meal, with everything just a few minutes' walk away. This saved us a lot of travel time, making our outings incredibly efficient. And finally, the room! It was impeccably clean. The amenities were brand new and worked perfectly, and the bedding was so comfortable, I never wanted to leave it. The soundproofing was excellent too, ensuring a quiet night and a truly restful sleep. Service, location, and rooms were all outstanding – truly flawless. I will absolutely choose to stay here again on my next visit; you simply can't go wrong with this place!"

"This is a great homestay/hotel. The room condition is clean, of a good artistic design and comfortable. Room facities provided are sufficient. The owner is very friendly and offers ride to and from the bus terminal station where there is bus go straight to the railway station. The hotel is located next to the river so it is convenient to go to the ancient town."
