Zaiyang Inn

Fantastic location on a quiet street. Full of character and a wonderful host. Free tea.

The best advantage of this small hotel is the location which is in the centre of the ancient city and only a few minutes walk to the famous Chaozhou ancient bridge. It is a restored historic building, one storey high and very quaint and quirky. It was very clean and all amenities worked well. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. One should note that the rooms are very small and the taxis cannot drop you at the hotel. Still, it was only a 4-minute walk to the hotel from the vehicular street. The hotel does not serve breakfasts but there are plenty of cafes and street food in the ancient city. The room was fine for a solo traveller for a weekend but if a couple, or staying longer than a weekend, I suggest booking a larger room in this hotel.

A lovely boutique hotel with Chinese style rooms. Good location on a quiet side road in Chaozhou old town. The staff is very friendly and welcoming.

A beautiful old style traditional courtyard building, now a hotel on an alley very near to paifang street and Kaiyuan temple. The staff are very friendly and one lady speaks very good English. My only criticism is the courtyard room I was in had a double bed with just about enough room for a big guy like myself to struggle round. I travelled on my own so it would have been more suitable with a single bed with more room around it.

This is a boutique hotel located right inside the tourist precint near Guangji bridge. As taxis are not permitted inside the area you need to find and walk to the hotel yourself. You can easily lose your way as there are no obvious road signs and the hotel is located in a small laneway. So for tourists make sure you have a handy map app like Amap (Lingo map) to help you find the way. The room is very compact and there is a shared outside area for tea making and hot water.

It's really authentic with a special energy place. I definitely recommend it
