This is the first B&B I stayed in during my trip to Quanzhou. I’ll start by criticizing it and then praise it. I’ll mention the advantages last so that others will remember the advantages more. This can also be considered as my kindness to the business.
The B&B is located in the Wudianshi scenic area and close to the road, so it is very convenient to find. However, the first discomfort is found as soon as you enter the door: it is an antique courtyard building. Entering the main entrance hall, there is a separate shop on each side. In fact, some B&Bs sell and consign some goods in the public area, but they are basically open environments and will not be partitioned by glass. This is very abrupt. Moreover, it is not a good feeling for tourists to be scrutinized by the store owners and customers when they enter and exit.
Then it was check-in. As some reviews say, the boss was talkative and enthusiastic, but I didn't feel that. He just asked me where I was from, and then said that a supplier from a big factory in my city often stayed in his homestay. I didn't quite understand the meaning of this monologue. Of course, this is not a minus or plus point. It's enough to do a good job of basic service.
The room is very small. This is actually indicated on the platform. It's just that the space design and utilization are not ideal. It's hard to find a place to open the suitcase. I have also stayed in hotels with an area of 13 or 15 square meters. The layout is obviously much more reasonable.
The overall hygiene is satisfactory, but the dirty laundry basket is placed next to the toilet, which is a bit... After all, they don't use disposable bath towels, so the bath towels used by guests are placed in the laundry basket, which is next to the toilet...
The shower room states that you need to wait 15 minutes between showers. This is not common in B&Bs nowadays. After all, most B&Bs do a good job in hot water supply. But I can understand it. However, the water started to get cold after less than 8 minutes of my shower. I guess it would be completely cold in about 10 minutes. This is exaggerated. As a man, I can only say that it is barely enough. For female travelers, I guess...
Another big problem with antique B&Bs is that the ceilings are very high, which affects the cooling and heating effects. I am a man and I can tolerate the cold in winter, but I don’t know how about women. Or if I stay in the summer, can I still tolerate it…
Since I stayed in the off-season, I seemed to be the only one staying in the B&B that night, so the poor soundproofing did not affect me. It will be a problem in the peak season. I suggest that you provide earplugs like many hotels do.
Finally, we come to the advantages. The biggest advantage is definitely its antique style. It is quite stylish. In addition, it is located in the Wudianshi Scenic Area, which is very convenient for visiting the scenic area. However, the Wudianshi Scenic Area is similar to the scenic spots such as Jinli in Chengdu and Nanchang Street in Wuxi. It is located in the urban area and includes catering, retail and other business formats. So whether you must live in the scenic area is a matter of personal opinion.
