I am a young Englishman on a 20 day solo self-drive road trip across northern Heilongjian and Inner Mongolia. After my stay in Hulun Buir, I decided to drive down to Arxan for 2 nights exploring. I booked this stay based off of the other foreign guests' positive experience.
I arrived in the town late in the evening. The boss was waiting for me and was attentive and welcoming from the start.
The room is very spacious and comfortable, and the temperature was just right. Everything is provided and replaced when needed.
After hiking in the national park, I came back to the boss and his extended family making CNY preparations. Then I was invited to drink Chinese tea (Dian Hong) at their tea table. I was then welcomed to eat with the family, drink beer and eat until I was full. I was welcomed not just as a guest of theirs, but as a family friend.
In mid-winter, Aershan/Arxan is a quiet and cold place. I came as part of a long journey taking my rented 4x4 Tank 300 through the snow and ice on routes apart of the Hulun Buir Snow and Ice Festival. My journey was peaceful, solemn and isolated. The hospitality and warm welcome was exactly what I needed after my long drive alone and it is a memory I will take home to the UK with me.
I highly recommend this guesthouse, especially if you are travelling solo across this wilderness.
Thank you brother. I look forward to returning in the near future with my partner, and when my mandarin is better.

The owner was incredibly warm and hospitable, reserving us the best room with a view, helping us carry our luggage up and down the stairs, and even buying us coffee when we left. The room was very warm, and the shower water was plentiful and hot; although it was an electric water heater, it was more than enough for a shower. The hotel had a beautiful view, was quiet, and had a small river in front of it where you could take a walk along the river. A few minutes' walk across the bridge led to Shengquan Square and the food street.

Guest UserThe hotel's location is excellent, very close to both the train station and the city's government district. If you're driving, there's ample parking space within the premises. The surrounding streets have a good variety of restaurants and supermarkets, so you don't have to go far for groceries or meals. Getting to and from the station is incredibly convenient for travel, saving a good amount on overall transportation costs. The rooms are cleaned meticulously; there wasn't a single stain on the floors or in the corners of the bathroom. The bedding was clean and soft, and the heating in the room was stable. Given the large day-night temperature difference in Arxan, it was wonderfully warm inside the room. The 24-hour hot water flowed smoothly, making it incredibly comfortable to wash up and rest after a long day of travel.

This is my first stay to write a review because this hotel is really good. The hardware conditions of the homestay are not very amazing. The room is not as big as expected, but the service is really attentive. The owner is very sincere and simple. Said that the room was cold and immediately sent electric heating, breakfast was sent to coffee, the restaurant music was very tasteful, the view of the terrace was also unique, especially when we checked out and couldn't get a taxi to the station, the owner personally drove it, and the trip to Aershan really left a good memory. Thanks again to the owner 🙏🏻

Guest UserStaying at a guesthouse near the Tianchi service area is very convenient, as it's close to the scenic area shuttle bus. The owner of Shangan Guesthouse is incredibly kind and welcoming, treating us like family. The large kang (heated brick bed) we booked was warm all night, and the food was delicious and tasted just like home. I especially loved the wild vegetable buns for breakfast. We had a very comfortable stay with no unpleasant room odors, and the soundproofing was acceptable. I think this is a very good guesthouse in the mountains, and I would definitely choose this guesthouse again if I visit Arxan again! 😆

Guest UserLocation: 5 minutes from Aershan Railway Station, right in the city center, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery at night standing by the window!
Service: The front desk is super enthusiastic. I have been thinking about pouring water to turn it into ice, and finally it happened. The girl at the front desk helped me boil water several times.
B&B environment: Very clean. Although the bedding is not as smooth as that of a big hotel, at least it can be seen that it is changed after every guest!

BiaoyouThe store has a strong sense of service and the landlady is warm and hospitable. The temperature in the scenic area is low at night, but the heater in the room is always hot. I had dinner and breakfast at his house, which was very good. Parking in the courtyard is convenient, and you can watch the sunset and morning glow nearby. Wu, thank you to the store for your thoughtful service.

From the environment, the hotel does have a unique location, it is easy to take pictures, the surrounding environment is so beautiful, it is close to the town, quiet and convenient. Low season price is not high is a good choice, if the peak season price doubled, I probably will not consider.
From the facilities, the first feeling of entering the room is that the room is relatively small, the bed is mini, not suitable for the bed, sleep is not very comfortable, the washing area light is broken (the second night is repaired), the wooden floor has floor heating, very comfortable, heating is also very sufficient.
From the perspective of health, health looks good, this time I didn't go to the small details, after all, I came to travel, not to stay in a hotel holiday.
The most important thing is service. The service starts from small details. I am also a service industry myself, so I am more concerned about the service. From the beginning of entering the hotel, I will not say what I have encountered. Compared with other chains, the gap between Samsung and four stars is very large. After all, it is enough to travel and be happy and comfortable. However, I witnessed the whole process of a young man almost fighting with the guests, which made me very surprised and incredible. I was very angry. I felt that the attitude of the hotel was not good. I almost wanted to do it when I received the plate at breakfast time. The little brother should shut up when he eats me. In fact, he solved everything in four words ”sorry”, but he was kind. The guest has a sentence of his n, what is the service, there is no sense of service at all, and it is speechless. The hotel management system needs to be further improved. As an outsider, I also feel that living here is not respected. 😟 It is not enough for the management to do a good job. It is estimated that the entire hotel should be managed with heart. There should be iron manager and manager Zhang.
Finally, thank you for the new year gift from the iron manager.
