Hanlinyuan Hotel

This hotel is truly unique, a beautifully renovated old residence with a fish pond, corridors, and pavilions. It offers a tranquil escape amidst the hustle and bustle, yet is incredibly convenient for exploring the surrounding area, all within walking distance. The gardens are meticulously maintained, and the rooms are very spacious, even featuring an antechamber outside the main bedroom. The parking lot is right outside the entrance and includes charging stations, which is super convenient. Breakfast offers a good variety of options, and the grass sprout rice noodles are particularly delicious.

This hotel definitely deserves a five-star rating! Its location is incredibly advantageous, right next to the Xue Zheng Kao Peng (an ancient examination site). The hotel itself feels like a small, antique park. Even though it's been around for many years, the service is exceptionally professional, the breakfast is delicious, the rooms are very comfortable, and all the facilities are well-maintained. The rooms are incredibly spacious, making for an excellent stay. My husband kept praising it – he loves places that feel open and bright with high ceilings. As someone from the northwest, who grew up in larger homes, this kind of expansive room feels truly comfortable. Most importantly, the hotel is located inside the ancient city, allowing easy walking access to all attractions. There are also plenty of parking spaces at the entrance, which is convenient for guests traveling by car. **Jianshui Ancient City Small Train Ticket Booking Service:** Excellent, very convenient.

The room was spacious, and the hotel felt like a serene garden, very tranquil and lush with greenery. Breakfast was good too. It's located right in the middle of Jianshui Ancient City, making it super convenient to get to nearby attractions. The service attitude was also excellent.

I've always loved staying in Chinese garden hotels and have experienced many across different regions, but this one's environment is by far my favorite. The Pine Garden is the most beautiful, grand and elegant. With a clear blue sky and sunshine, it truly surpasses even the landscapes of Jiangnan. In the morning, the light streams through the windows facing the courtyard, filling the room with warmth. At night, the silhouettes of the pine trees resemble graceful Dai dances, which is quite charming. I had originally planned to visit a famous garden cafe outside the ancient city after checking in, but then I saw how much better the hotel's own backyard was—it was truly exceptional. So, I immediately went back to my room, grabbed my Zitao tea set, and brewed coffee and black tea under the Ligustrum trees. My family and I enjoyed the gentle breeze, listening to the rustling leaves and gurgling water, admiring the blooming magnolias and the swaying goldfish. This became the highlight of our slow-paced Jianshui trip. I also saw other guests reading on the traditional 'beauty's rest' benches and observing the fish pond with great interest. This, I thought, is what coming to Jianshui is all about—letting time slow down a bit. The room included a private small courtyard, a small living room that doubled as a tea room, a bedroom, and a very spacious bathroom. There were also Jianshui cultural books by Chen Lei's comic team, which you could finish in half an hour to learn about Jianshui. In the evening, we received welcome fruits, and the morning's caya rice noodles were as good as, if not better than, those from external vendors. The room was incredibly quiet at night—we were truly in the heart of the ancient city, yet just a wall away felt like a secluded paradise. The intangible cultural heritage performance directly opposite the hotel starts at 8:30 PM. It's high quality, great value for money, and definitely worth seeing. The hotel is also very close to the Confucius Temple.

An older building with a lot of history, located right in the heart of the ancient city, making it convenient to get anywhere. During the Chinese New Year, they even had a traditional tea ceremony around a stove in the courtyard. I honestly think they serve the best Jianshui grilled tofu. And every morning, a bowl of their early-sprout rice noodles from the hotel is the perfect way to start a beautiful day.

Highly recommend! Besides the very comfortable gardens and rooms, this hotel really knows how to treat its guests. The attention to detail is excellent, the location is great, and parking is convenient. I was very satisfied with my stay. Even though this was my first time in Jianshui, I'll definitely stay here again on my next visit.

The environment is fantastic, and the location is excellent. The small courtyard is absolutely beautiful, and it's very close to Zhu Family Garden and Kaopeng. Jianshui is a lovely little city worth exploring. I highly recommend the room.

Located in the Old Town, it's convenient to get anywhere, and the surroundings are beautiful. Highly recommend!

The hotel's location and facilities are superb. It was truly delightful to spend a few days in such a charming, tranquil, and elegant hotel within the ancient city. The staff's attitude was also excellent, especially the lady who cooked noodles in the restaurant during breakfast. The food was delicious and her service was warm and enthusiastic. Thank you!
