Location is fantastic, for shopping, day trips out, food, chilling. The hotel staff are really excellent. Warm, helpful, kind. They would ask about our day, did we enjoy the food/breakfast, would we like the evening snack and bring it up to our room. They would meet along the street to help bring bags into the hotel, they would escort us out to the street to find our ride. They are super helpful in every aspect.
The room and hotel in general is really very clean. They even cleaned our suitcases and wrote a note to let us know they did.
We had a spacious, romantic room, two sinks, separate toilet and shower area, two doorways to the sinks. View of a small courtyard and side street. The bed was huge and really comfy.
Breakfast was delicious. Select what you'd like each evening for he morning. Coffee was freshly ground Yunnan beans. Afternoon tea was just right, biscuit, a sweet soup, fruits and even popcorn if you like.
The free laundry / dryers were very useful. One machine allows a quick simple 15 min wash and spin - just right for mildly soiled clothing.
We spent 6 nights and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Shall I share a couple of other secret treats about Mengjing Xiyue? (a) they provide a foot soak in the room each evening with a sachet of herbs to soak your feet with; (b) the roof top sitting/garden area is lovely for morning quiet time or an evening coffee/bee/chill time - especially cos the weather was perfect when we were there. I seriously enjoyed both these little treats.
For those thinking of booking and visiting, be really genuinely nice with the staff. Everyone of them is precious, hardworking and gentle. And try their fresh flower biscuits which they serve tea time. You'll be thinking, maybe it's cheaper out in the supermarket - nope, not really. We shopped around, tried a whole variety and the hotel's own fresh flower biscuits' the winner. We regret not buying a whole crate cos it's that good!
For the sceptics who can't believe a hotel can be that good ... yippie, find another hotel so Mengjing Xiyue may continue to be that peaceful oasis for the weary wanderlusts.
