Coming to Guiyang for the National Day holiday, I chose Yichi Hotel, and the overall experience far exceeded my expectations, so I must write a detailed review!
We arrived at the hotel past midnight, and there were still two staff members at the front desk waiting to check us in. One of them even personally escorted us to our room and meticulously explained all the facilities. When we asked about late-night supper recommendations, the butler immediately sent us a local food guide via WeChat within a minute – their response speed was astonishing. The next day, we needed to do laundry, and a staff member proactively and enthusiastically helped, informing us that our clothes would be delivered directly to our room after washing and drying. One small suggestion: a thick sound-absorbing mat could be installed on the wall behind the washing machine to reduce vibration noise and lessen the need for manual intervention.
There were plenty of staff members at breakfast. The à la carte dishes were exquisitely presented, and the coffee, unlike the cheap beans often found in hotels, was rich and delicious. I communicated with the butler via WeChat throughout my stay, and they usually responded within 5 minutes – the service was highly efficient and attentive. The only minor drawback was that the mop used for cleaning the room was too wet. The floor remained damp after we returned, and since it was raining continuously in Guiyang during the National Day holiday and the air was already humid, a wet and cold floor felt even more uncomfortable. It would be better if the mop was wrung out more thoroughly or if the air conditioning was used to dry the floor after cleaning.
One can clearly sense the owner's ingenious touches in the hardware, with thoughtful designs evident everywhere in the small spaces. The only slight imperfection is that there's still room for improvement in the construction details. Some soft furnishings, sanitary ware, and hardware items were slightly crooked. While this didn't affect normal use, these minor flaws seemed a bit regrettable given such a meticulously designed space.
I must particularly praise the soundproofing! Just downstairs is the bustling Minsheng Road, but once the windows were closed, you could barely hear the outside noise – the quietness was excellent. The toiletries were of good quality, the bedding was high-thread count, soft against the skin with no rustling sounds, and the mattress was very soft. Those who prefer soft mattresses will love it, but friends who are not used to soft mattresses should take note.
National Day is a peak travel period, and it's truly commendable that the hotel was able to maintain such consistent and orderly service standards. Staying here felt like a warm homecoming, and it also gave us, as travelers from afar, a greater sense of familiarity and fondness for Guiyang. It's a worthwhile choice for anyone visiting Guiyang!
