"A small beautiful 80s style Hotel. You will see lots of 80s instruments devices. Phone typewriter, TV and cameras. The rooms are nice and clean. They don't have a lift so you have to walk with your luggage to upstairs."

"We had a beautiful time in this hotel after a beginners tour of China the week before. We could relax very well - prices are not as cheap as in the rest of urban China for food and we thought the food was not quite as authentic as in the little street restaurants we sampled before. But it's a nice treat with friendly staff.
You are very close to the river with lovely views, some of the eco features need getting used to and the region can be hot and humid. However, you know that, don't you."
