Nice, cosy atmosphere, very friendly and helpful staff. For everyone who enjoys peace and quietness, while still being close to all touristic sites.

It is very nice!

The design of the building is beautiful! The staff are very friendly and helpful.

The location is great. The hotel is at the most shady area along the river in TongLi, which makes it pleasant in hot summer. Directly outside the gate is the river with many trees. One can take a boat not far away. The garden is wonderful, small and elegant. There are many colourful fishes in the pond, and some beautiful tiny fishes in the water tank. The living room is big and nice: we often sit on the sofa while chatting with others, and we used the dinner table for one dinner with ordered delivery. Very very cozy living room. The password-locks at front gate and bedrooms are convenient to use. The front desk girl replied quickly to my questions, although she is not always familiar with the situation as she is new.

Everything else is great, but the cleanness was not good when we visited. What a pity. Apparently the cleaning lady was in vacation and the front desk girl had to take care of room cleaning but she is not experienced. There were clear marks on the floor when we checked in. And we had to remind her to refill toilet paper and clean the trash. The hotel management should be better to find a replacement for the cleaning staff when the regular one is away.

The owner spoke very good english and recommended some excellent places for dinner and for breakftast. The Room was very comfortable and the location of the hotel was ideal.

The hotel has a "like home" atmosphere complete with both very friendly owners and friendly cats. Tongli is very small so the location doesn't matter so much, but being right in the middle of the water town is very nice. The owners went above and beyond making us feel welcome. The hotel building itself maintains a nice balance between the modern and the old and was even used for a popular Chinese series in the 1980s.

Everything was excellent.

stunning historical building in the heart of Tongli Ancient town. Beautiful authentic guesthouse that makes provision for western travellers by providing a map upon arrival, marking off must see places and providing great coffee with a delicious Chinese breakfast. Hostess speaks English and is super helpful. Husband also welcoming and friendly. Super efficient booking in. Room was beautifully clean and spacious with great shower facilities and lovely towels. Really great value for money and what you see in the pics is what you get! Wished we had spent two nights here.

Bed was not that comfortable but bearable.

The staff was very friendly and helped us with all our needs. The breakfast was good.

Great location by the canal. Beautiful setting in the old house. Friendly and obliging host.
