I have traveled so many times and stayed in both expensive and cheap hotels and B&Bs, but this B&B is really the worst I have ever stayed in. I booked a deluxe two-bedroom family room, B104 on the first floor, which is in the most remote corner of the first floor. The door was piled with B&B sundries. There was a small window facing a small alley, and under the window were still piled with B&B sundries. When I entered the room, a damp and moldy smell hit me. There were a total of 3 rooms including the bathroom, all of which were irregular in shape and very small. The outer room really couldn't even fit a trolley case, and after putting the trolley case in the inner room, it was basically impossible for anyone to pass the end of the bed. The biggest problem was that when we got to the room, there was no service on the phone, which was worse than airplane mode. We found the lady at the front desk and asked if she could change the room for us. We paid more than 500 a night and there was no signal. The room also had a moldy smell, and there were debris at the door and under the windowsill. The lady said: If there is a moldy smell in the room, you can open the door to get rid of the smell. The phone has no signal because it is an Apple phone (my husband said his Android also has no signal). The lady then said: Then you can connect to the wireless network. The young lady went with us to the room, and now she pointed at her weak signal at the door and said that my cell phone had signal. My husband and I showed her our cell phones, but there was no service (the problem is that this is the room we live in, not you, so what’s the use of having a signal on your cell phone). I pointed at the debris at the door and under the windowsill and said: There is so much debris that I can't open the door, and it's full of mosquitoes. The young lady said: Then our hotel also needs to store miscellaneous items.
Finally, the three of us discussed with the B&B: Can we change rooms? If not, how about we stay tonight and get a refund for the other two nights?
The young lady said: No.
After the communication failed, we called Ctrip to complain and finally negotiated a refund for the other two nights. The scary thing was that the wireless network in our room was disconnected that night, and we couldn’t find the wireless network in B104. We were out of touch from midnight until we checked out, and we couldn’t use WeChat or the phone. I don't know if the outage was a natural phenomenon or man-made...
After checking out and taking a taxi to leave Zengcuoan, the driver asked if we were changing hotels. This place is the worst, as they pick up tourists who are checking out and changing hotels every day.
Finally, I hope that travelers who read the comments can avoid Zengcuoan (although it is a popular street, the food is really bad). If you want to choose this B&B, you can avoid the crappy B104 and C102, and don't choose the first floor.
