Booked a private hot spring room for a three-day, two-night stay.
**Facilities:** This is a new establishment, opened in October '25, so all the facilities are brand new. The bedding is just the right firmness. The projector and sound system offer an excellent experience. The underfloor heating is incredibly effective; the landlady mentioned the entire building has it, so even if you turn off the heating in your room, it's never cold in winter – it's quite warm. You can comfortably wear a single layer, a short-sleeved shirt, or a vest indoors.
**Hygiene:** The bedding, bath towels, hand towels, and bathrobes were all very clean. They even provided both plush and plastic slippers to accommodate different preferences, which is a thoughtful detail. The private hot spring pool was spotless, and disposable bath liners were also available.
**Environment:** Located within the Lingyin scenic area, in a local village at the foot of the mountain, it's incredibly tranquil. It truly feels like a hidden gem in the city. (See pictures below, taken directly from the second-floor balcony.)
Don't worry about inconvenient transportation. Although there's traffic control (8 am to 5 pm), meaning you can't directly hail a taxi from the guesthouse, the owner has a car and can help transport you outside the controlled area. We experienced this once when checking out; otherwise, we just walked. It’s about a ten-minute walk to the main road where you can catch a taxi, and there's also a scenic shuttle bus.
If you plan to visit Lingyin Temple, the entrance is less than a ten-minute walk away.
**Service:** Impeccable, warm, and attentive. Since there weren't many guests, they gave us a free room upgrade. Every time we went out, they'd ask if we needed a ride to the taxi stand outside the controlled zone. When we overslept and missed breakfast, they proactively asked and invited us to have some. Upon check-in, a tea break was included, and when we forgot about it midway through our stay, the housekeeper 'secretly' prepared and delivered it right to our door...
This is my first time staying at a four-figure (RMB) guesthouse in China, and the experience completely justifies the price, even offering excellent value for money. It's more comfortable and thoughtful than some hotels.
Chatting with the landlady, she mentioned that this place targets the mid-to-high-end market but, being new, doesn't have many reviews or guests yet. My husband and I were very satisfied, so we decided to write a long review to express our gratitude. We'll definitely visit again if we have the chance.
