Linfen Hotels with balcony

The hotel was originally three old Qing Dynasty courtyards that were relocated, restored, and renovated. They offer guided tours, and the brick carvings and shadow walls of the academy have a strong sense of history, creating a rich historical atmosphere. The service was excellent; I experienced the business car airport pick-up, afternoon tea, and cocktails. I also tried the intangible cultural heritage woodblock New Year prints, which was a truly immersive way to experience local traditional culture – a rare treat! The game's silver notes could be exchanged for realistic replica silver notes, which was a pleasant surprise. In the evening, the old courtyard had a powerful ambiance, and I specifically got a makeover to take some amazing photos. Highly recommended, it was the highlight of my trip to Shanxi. The old Qing Dynasty kilns are now fully smart homes inside, making for a very comfortable stay. Ancient on the outside, luxurious on the inside, it truly provides an immersive experience of Jin merchant culture!

The room was spotlessly clean and tidy, well-ventilated and brightly lit, and the bedding was exceptionally comfortable. Breakfast included staples like milk, eggs, millet porridge, steamed buns, and a few small side dishes. There's ample parking right in front of the guesthouse for several cars. The guesthouse boasts an excellent location, just a few minutes' walk from the Yunchu Mountain Scenic Area ticket entrance and also very close to its main parking lot. There are several restaurants nearby. We tried Jiudama Sichuan Cuisine, recommended by the owner, and it was absolutely delicious. The guesthouse owner was incredibly hospitable and attentive. He was very knowledgeable about the Yunchu Mountain Scenic Area and offered us many excellent sightseeing tips. He even went out of his way to drive me to the scenic area's parking lot to charge my car, and the next morning, he personally drove us back to pick it up. He truly runs his guesthouse with exceptional care and dedication.

A very satisfying experience! The staff are particularly enthusiastic. Fruit plates, snack flower baskets, everything you think of are also thought of, and others you wouldn't expect are also thought of for you! There are many food choices, including Chinese food, Western food, and barbecue! Delicious food and friendly!

I'm not a shill, but this place is genuinely fantastic! It's newly opened, so everything is brand new, and you can tell the owner put a lot of effort into it. The rooms, and even the entire guesthouse floor, are incredibly clean. The owner is also lovely and very helpful. The air conditioning suddenly stopped working late at night, and she replied to my WeChat message super quickly and helped me fix the issue. There's a washing machine and detergent available for free, and also a place to hang clothes, which dry quickly in the summer. It's really, really comfortable; for me, it's basically on par with Atour or All Seasons hotels. I'll definitely be back to stay at Xiaoxitian again, and if they can maintain this quality, I'll definitely bring my friends next time.

Accommodations around Yunqiushan Scenic Area are mainly homestays, with the best quality ones concentrated in Kangjiaping Village, less than six kilometers from the park entrance. Many trendy restaurants are also clustered here. However, considering that the Wannian Ice Cave and Nuoerpo Ancient Village, which I planned to visit the next day, both require a shuttle bus from the park entrance, after some deliberation, I ultimately chose the Novotel Yunqiushan Hotel located inside the scenic area. As our vehicle entered the hotel's private parking lot within the park gates, the surrounding environment immediately convinced everyone in my group that I had made the right choice. Even more delightful was the warm and thoughtful service at the front desk. Upon learning that we were travelers from afar, they directly upgraded us to a mountain-view suite for free. Opening the window revealed a lush green mountain vista, and this unexpected pleasant surprise instantly melted away the fatigue of our journey. When they heard we initially planned to find food in Kangjiaping Village, the staff immediately offered complimentary shuttle service. However, as dusk was setting in and everyone was genuinely tired from traveling, we decided to dine at the hotel restaurant instead, allowing us to rest earlier and properly refuel. Perhaps it was extreme hunger, but every dish that day tasted exceptionally delicious. It wasn't until only half a tail of the steamed sea bass was left that I suddenly remembered I forgot to take photos of the food! Fortunately, I clearly remembered the names of several signature dishes. The four of us ordered four dishes: the hotel's specialty Braised Pork Belly, aromatic Alfalfa Stir-fry with Pork, fresh and tender Steamed Sea Bass, and a refreshing seasonal vegetable dish. I was surprised by how amazing the hotel restaurant's culinary skills were. The Alfalfa Stir-fry with Pork was perfectly savory and well-seasoned with plenty of ingredients. I had worried that the steamed sea bass in a northern hotel wouldn't be as good as those prepared by southern chefs, but after tasting it, I found the texture and flavor to be on par – fresh, not fishy, and wonderfully tender. And the Braised Pork Belly truly lived up to its 'signature dish' reputation, with a perfect balance of lean and fatty meat, soft, flavorful, and melting in your mouth without being greasy. The bill after dinner came out to just over a hundred per person, which was a truly pleasant surprise for such value for money. I genuinely recommend it to friends planning a trip to Yunqiushan! After dinner, we took a leisurely stroll along the hotel's pathway. The evening breeze in the mountains carried the fragrant scent of grass and trees, which was incredibly pleasant. Back in the room, the spacious and comfortable area, elegantly styled furniture, and a soft, skin-friendly king-size bed, combined with the unique tranquility of the mountain night, allowed us to shed all fatigue and quickly fall into a sweet slumber. Setting off for Nuoerpo Ancient Village and Wannian Ice Cave the next day, we were pleasantly surprised to find that the scenic area's shuttle bus stop was right outside the hotel, making travel extremely convenient without any extra rushing. Even more thoughtful, the hotel allowed us to check out after 2 PM, so after our visit, we could return to the room to rest and rejuvenate before calmly continuing our journey. This considerate service added even more charm to our Yunqiushan trip.

Choosing this hotel was definitely the right decision! It's the king of value for money. For this price, it's such a great hotel – amazing value! The rooms are spacious and bright, clean and tidy, and all have air conditioning. The beds are very comfortable. The owner is incredibly welcoming, and his shredded potatoes are exceptional. It's right next to a tourist attraction, so the value is unbeatable.

In a village in the mountains (very clean), the environment is very quiet, the air is very good, the most comfortable night to sleep, the decoration of the homestay is also very good, in a yard, there are three or four rooms inside, we live in one of them, there is a free breakfast in the morning, because I didn't taste it late. There are also farms, alpacas, dwarf horses, ducks, rabbits, etc. There are many trees. The farm is one or two hundred meters away from the place where you live, and it is very clean and tasteless. It is worth staying. The supplies inside can be seen that they are also changed for each guest.

I booked a stay at Yishengyisu, and they offer two room types: a LOFT and a standard room with a balcony. I arrived quite early in the morning, and the front desk told me they had reserved the LOFT for me. However, when I checked in, the front desk didn't say anything and just gave me a standard room with a balcony instead 🫤. I was really looking forward to the LOFT room type. Plus, there were cigarette butts on the room's balcony from the previous guest. Aside from that, the environment, dining, and hot springs in Kangjiaping Village were all pretty good. Overall, I'd rate the environment 5 stars, and the front desk 4 stars.

I've stayed here for several days now. The environment is clean and tidy, the facilities are complete, the atmosphere is nice, and the service is attentive! The breakfast is plentiful and easy to digest, very suitable for Chinese tastes. They also provide complimentary snacks and heartwarming refreshments in the evening.

This hotel is the hotel I can find on Trip.com from Xiaoxitian with a relatively high evaluation. I didn't expect to step on the big pit. Mainly the hotel is too poorly soundproofed. The most expensive room was specially set, which was facing the street and passed to Xiaoxitian. And this street is a traffic road, crossroads, there are various carts passing by, rumbling. The room is too old, the windows are not closed tightly, and the sound insulation is too poor. The proprietress said that there will be fewer carts after 11 o'clock. In fact, it is midnight and the cart has not stopped, and the frame is ringing. Then the tractor came out again at 4.5, and it felt like sleeping on the side of the main road for a night, and I basically didn't fall asleep. Hygiene is OK, the mattress is the hardest spring mattress, almost equal to no. It is recommended that people who sleep not particularly well avoid lightning. In fact, the county seat of Jixian County is quite big, there are many places to live in it, if you want to be quiet, don't choose this location facing the street.
