Shude hall Inn in Jianshui

Stayed over enroute to Dali from Xinjie. Good location within walking distance to old town n places of interests. Lovely “hotel” with hospitable hosts, providing typically Chinese breakfast of rice porridge and condiments, tasty soup rice noodles, steamed bread buns, sweet potatoes, etc You also get a simple lunch of Chinese porridge n condiments, and some cooked veg items n meat. And also an afternoon tea which we missed. It’s sort of a pottery studio too and guests are also invited to have Chinese tea there. Well decorated with lovely plants all around. Only drawback is the toilet in the room which does not have a door. However, overall a good stay.

We arrived in Jianshui justo for one night. This town is so authentic and the hotel is so clean, nice, with a wonderful and charming staff that we stayed here for four nights. You feel at home. They offered us two handmade cups for tea in purple Pottery. Very recomended

I always stay at this hotel when I come to Jianshui because it has a central location and very nice rooms. And my Gosh, the shower is amazing!!! High pressure and different levels of hot water, including 'lobster boil hot' if that's your thing. I also like that they use local Jianshui pottery in the room... nice touch and makes you want to buy some... which they sell in the lobby. Oh, and the shop immediately next door also sells pottery, and his pottery is quite unique compared to the rest of town.... it's a bit expensive but you can tell master artists made it... whereas most pottery around town is clearly made by novices or computers. Anyways, back to the hotel, I included 2 photos, one of my room and 1 of the view from my room. The front desk can also help you arrange local excursions or whatever else you ask for, although I have to admit that some front desk workers are friendlier and more helpful than others. Im not sure if they speak English since I only spoke to them in Chinese. All in all, I feel very comfortable recommending this hotel since it's a good value and has been reliable for me.

All good. Nice location and clean room. Staff was friendly too.

Perfect location to explore the city. Friendly staff. Clean rooms. Easy parking. Funny health check for foreigners.
