Xijiantang Art Hotel (Jingdezhen Yuyao Jingxiang)

First off, the hotel room door was a pain to open. The QR code scanner wasn't very responsive, and the old lock required a hard, deep push to finally get the door to budge. It took me a good five minutes just to get into my room. Plus, there's no front desk; everything is self-service, and if you contact customer service, they just send you QR codes. The soundproofing in the room was also terrible. At least twice, I heard guests in the next room struggling to open their door, contacting customer service from the hallway. And at night, I could clearly hear my neighbors' late-night conversations. Secondly, there was a lot of mold in the room, and for the first time ever, I encountered a bathroom with no door. I guess it's my fault for not looking closely at the pictures. There's a curtain next to the bed, and right behind it are the sink and toilet. My sleeping area was probably only a meter away from the toilet, which was frankly pretty annoying. The worst part was that the reservation was non-refundable. Eventually, I couldn't take it anymore and ended up checking out a night early to find another hotel. I really hope others think twice before booking here. Lastly, the hotel has two buildings, about 500 meters apart. The location pin on the Ctrip website was for Building 1, and usually, hotel buildings are close together. Customer service did send me a WeChat message with the location for Building 2, but when you type the hotel name into a ride-hailing app, the first result is for Building 1. How would someone unfamiliar with the area know that your hotel has two buildings so far apart? When I arrived at Building 1, customer service even had the nerve to say, 'Didn't I send you the location pin?' Couldn't you emphasize that when you send the location? So, I ended up dragging my suitcase 500 meters.

Facilities: Good Cleanliness: Clean Environment: Quiet Service: Very good

Let me start with the main point: I'm very satisfied. The location is in the northwest of Jingdezhen, right next to Taoyangli, and also very close to Taoxichuan. The room was very clean and well-equipped. With two 1.5-meter double beds, all four of us stayed very comfortably. There are three floors in total with a direct elevator. Although it's a guesthouse, it feels very cozy. Entry is via a QR code, which feels very secure. The owner provides a concierge-style service, proactively adding guests' contact information beforehand and promptly resolving any issues. The owner provided complimentary breakfast, which was a very thoughtful touch. We only stayed one night, but since our train ticket was for later in the evening and we didn't want to explore more attractions, we lingered in the lobby for a while. The owner even helped us store our luggage. All in all, this stay was a very satisfying experience.

This hotel in Jingdezhen has a fantastic design with lots of ceramic elements. The owner, who is also a ceramicist, has impeccable taste. The room layout is also excellent, very airy and bright, with beautiful views from the windows. Many sycamore trees are reflected in the sunlight streaming through the windows. Enjoying the hotel's black tea in the room was truly wonderful and relaxing. The room was spotless and tidy, showing the cleaning staff's dedication. The facilities were complete and comprehensive, with plenty of hot water and fast-cooling air conditioning. The front desk service was superb, with a warm and welcoming attitude. The location is excellent, suitable for various travel options. The pedestrian street is about a 5-minute walk away, with many restaurants nearby. The Changjiang River is right across the street, perfect for an evening stroll. The air is fresh. I really loved this hotel and look forward to my next trip to Jingdezhen.

The cleanliness was so-so, the breakfast was even worse, and the bed made a creaking noise every time I turned over. I didn't sleep a wink all night. This was the worst hotel I've ever stayed in.

I brought my children to Jingdezhen and it was a very satisfying stay. Taoyangli is next door. It is beautiful. The hotel is cost-effective. I am very satisfied.

As soon as you walk into the hotel, you can see the artistic atmosphere. The hotel lobby is filled with flowers. The room feels warm and comfortable. The breakfast is served in portions, which is also very good and tastes like home. The most surprising thing is, I accidentally took the elevator to the third floor. As soon as I opened the elevator, there was a small sky garden. The only regret was that I forgot to take pictures. I highly recommend this place!
