Pet friendly Hotels in Yan'an

Thanks again to Sister Lian for your sincere hospitality. There were 9 people in our family, including 4 elders and me, who drove from Xi'an to Yulin and booked 5 cave-dwelling double rooms at Sister Lian's house. Unexpectedly, the weather was not good. After arriving at Ganquan, we found that there was a level 7 gale, it was cloudy and rainy, and the temperature dropped to 10 degrees. We suddenly decided to cancel our plan to visit the Grand Canyon that day and drive directly to our next stop, Yan'an. At this time, we had already given up the prepaid deposit (after all, Ctrip indicated that it was non-cancellable, and Lian Jie also sent a WeChat message at noon saying that she had already bought the dishes we had reserved for dinner). Unexpectedly, after learning that we wanted to cancel the reservation, Sister Lian immediately refunded the deposit in full without saying a word; when I was still hesitating whether to receive the refund, Sister Lian called me three times in a row to ”threaten me” that she would continue to harass me until I received the refund. In the end, our whole family decided to stay one night at Sister Lian’s house on the way back to Xi’an. Three days later, on a sunny afternoon, we returned to Ganquan again. When we drove into a slightly barren village and walked into the narrow path leading to her yard, the sanitary conditions and environment of this homestay still made me somewhat uneasy. But when I saw Sister Lian’s brilliant smile and walked into the cave she had carefully prepared, all my worries disappeared in an instant. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the cleanest homestay I have ever seen. The decoration is simple, with two 2-meter beds, clean bedding/bath towels, empty suite, bathroom heater and water heater. What I find most incredible is the marble floor of the B&B. On this loess plateau with flying sand, it can be cleaned spotlessly by Sister Lian (cleaner than the floor of my home in Shanghai). For dinner, we enjoyed 8 dishes and 1 soup specially prepared by Sister Lian according to our taste requirements, plus the big rooster she raised. The whole family was very satisfied with the taste. After dinner, we sat together in Sister Lian’s yard, drinking wine and chatting with Sister Lian about family matters (this night was definitely the happiest night of our trip). The cave was very quiet at night, and we didn’t hear the crowing of the big rooster raised by Sister Lian in the morning (which made us very puzzled). Lian Jie’s family has a total of 6 cave dwellings, one of which is for her own use. It is located in a small village 2 kilometers behind the entrance of Ganquan Grand Canyon Scenic Area. This location is particularly inconspicuous, because most tourists will definitely choose the larger Xia Siwan County 2/3 kilometers before the scenic area or some cave homestays at the entrance of the scenic area. If you want to find a relatively quiet and tidy small homestay and experience the sincerity, simplicity and enthusiasm of the rural people in northern Shaanxi, then Lianjie is definitely your best choice.

San Mao and Xiao Yan, a friendly and helpful husband and wife team, owners of the hotel, served as our tour guides. San Mao expertly led us to the most captivating sights, while Xiao Yan provided valuable insights and answered our queries. Their culinary skills shone through as we savored our meals at their restaurant. They also offered wild honey, a delightful treat that her father had discovered in a tree. The hotel’s prime location near the town entrance, ticketing counters, and tour coach embankment made it an ideal choice. The rooms were clean, bright, and spacious, providing a comfortable stay.

The family drove by themselves, contact in advance to confirm that they can park. On the edge is the open space in front of the township activity center, which can park a lot of cars. The room was very clean and the large windows were very bright. Writing a piece is basically a local homestay and restaurant. There are a lot of people living in this house. The proprietress is very enthusiastic and has a good attitude. She also sent sour dates before leaving.

I have never lived in a cave, so I came to experience it. It is actually a cave-style house. It is very close to the entrance of the scenic area, and it only takes a few minutes to walk there. It is convenient to park your car at the hotel and visit the scenic area. The cleanliness is acceptable. At least the beds are new and look clean. The facilities in the room are average and sufficient, but you can't expect the same as in a big hotel. Eating is quite convenient. The boss can cook whatever you want and you don’t have to go around. The dinner tasted OK, not particularly delicious but not bad either, just OK. Breakfast is 10 yuan per person, simple, and the fried side dishes are more appetizing, I like it a little more.

Inside the scenic area, it is very lively at night, the room is very quiet and clean! Suitable for taking photos and checking in! The breakfast is also rich. And the price is not high, it is very cost-effective to use the points deduction. It is also very easy to find after getting off the highway, and it is very close. The parking lot is on the underground floor, and you can take the elevator directly upstairs. There are a lot of luggage, and the girl at the front desk came down to pick it up. The service is pretty good! One night in Yan'an, very satisfied!

The guesthouse is only about 200 meters from the scenic area entrance. The owner is said to be a scenic area ambassador, so you can get a discount on tickets purchased through him. The food at this guesthouse is delicious, especially their lamb (the owner's mother has been cooking lamb for 41 years! [Thumbs up]). It used to be called ”Lao Dang's Farmhouse Cuisine.” The guesthouse offers both cave-style rooms and standard rooms. Currently, the cave-style rooms don't have air conditioning, but it doesn't seem to matter much, as the temperature difference between day and night is quite significant, and it's not cold at night. The guesthouse has a large courtyard (I really like guesthouses with courtyards), parking is very convenient, and a self-service car wash is available.

I went to the Ganquan Grand Canyon and decided to book this homestay. The small courtyard planted cute flowers 🌸, and it was good to punch in and take pictures. Exceeding expectations, the boss is good, breakfast and dinner are eaten at the famous hotel, the breakfast is super rich and delicious, and I will come next time I have a chance.

Facilities: Standard hotel standard Hygienic: the whole is very clean and tidy Environment: Very satisfied with staying for one night. Although the hotel is in the town facing the street, it is very quiet after 10 o'clock in the evening and can sleep beautifully. There are two breakfast shops in the town, complete variety, clean and cheap Service: The boss and his wife are warm, kind and generous, trustworthy In short, our whole family was very satisfied with this stay.

I was trapped in Yan'an due to heavy snow, but fortunately Hua Ting Hotel calmed my mood. The location of the hotel is very convenient, the room is clean and comfortable, the shower water is large and comfortable, the air conditioning and heating in winter are also very good, and the attitude of the entire hotel staff is particularly good, giving people a simple and real feeling. The hotel's catering is also very good. Although the breakfast buffet is not open due to the small number of residents, a delicate and large breakfast is prepared and delivered directly to the room at 8 o'clock in the morning👍👍👍. Very good living experience, I will stay here again next time I come to Yan'an.

quick check in and very fiendly front desk lady. very clean room, window towards the street. shower head wasnt cleaned, only little water came out. location is convenient, will come again
