Tu wang ju ke zhan

I booked 2 rooms in this hostel. One for my parents in their 60s and the other for me. I decided on this hostel because I saw the picture and the info that the room has a waterfall view. Which does, although it turns out that the hotel itself isn't located adjacent to the waterfall. It's just that it's the highest building around so it could offer a better view of the waterfall. The glass pane is a bit misleading. The view of the waterfall can be seen by the balcony. However, looking through the glass pane and you could only see lots of weeds crouching over old roofs. The room itself is also very small. I need to give the hostel 3 stars for its service because initially I booked for the wrong date and the condition doesn't allow for modification. So I reached out to the owner via Wechat with the phone number given. With some language barriers to figure out, the owner was kind enough to modify the date for us. But otherwise, I would have given the service less than 1 star for the fact that my parents' room was on the 4th floor without elevator, and the butler, upon seeing their huge loaded luggage, went instantly to get my parents' smaller, lighter carry-ons and rush up the stairs without looking back despite the fact that my parents tried to call them many times. The amenities were in a pretty mess. The downstairs is a lousy restaurant with children watching tvs and elders eating here and theirs. We spent so much for the balcony's view but regrettably the balcony lamp was broken. The toilet was a sit-up kind, my room is the regular, impressively with the electronic fancy kind. But using them once got it clogged and asking the reception to have her hand us the plumbing stick for us to fix ourselves... waking up early in the morning only to find out that the hallways' light of the whole building was turned off and it was pitch dark. I have to go around and find the switch to turn on each myself. No need to mention the fact that I have to carry all our bags down myself since there is no one awake by the time I need to check out... All in all, not really worth the money spent...

The hotel was in a great location. You can see the entire waterfall and city from your room. There were only two main things that concerned us. The first was the smell. The hotel is located on top of a restaurant; therefore, you would often smell food in the room and in the halls. We did not quite enjoy the smell. The second is the cleanliness. Brooms and trash bags were left in the hallway as the cleaner cleaned the hotel. It felt quite unclean. The view on the side of the room/ hotel was also all trash. In the pictures, it looked like mountains or trees. For foreigners, please check whether your room had sitting or squatting toilets. We had squatting toilets, but the photos did not show it.
