Location is within the Chaozhou Old City area, on a side street just off of Paifang Street. There are endless options for food, drinks and snacks on Paifang St. The design of the room is nice, with the skylight above the "tea" corner. The door locks with old style wooden slats. The bathroom is very dark, would be helpful to have brighter lighting. Cooler Air Conditioning would be more comfortable in summer. Disappointing to receive disposable paper towels as bathtowels. Room would benefit from deeper cleaning. Lots of dust trapped in the air exhaust in the bathroom. The local feral dogs use the skylight as their toilet. A nicely designed conversion to "homestay" property, would be even better with a little nore attention to the details.
6/8
Response from Property: Thank you for your review. Sorry, we found that most guests bring disposable towels in the past few years, so we provide free disposable towels. If you are not used to using them, you can also ask us for towels. Regarding the skylight issue, we clean it regularly... Unfortunately, there are too many wild cats nearby... Thank you for your stay and wish you a happy life.

Exceeding expectation with a central location off the main tourist 牌坊街, well done restoration on the old house, and called before check-in. If you are like me scared of white ants and red skin spots in other hostels in the area, I would recommend staying here.

Good location, easy to find. We arrive at mid-night, and the staff came out to pick us up at the street to walk us through. Both staff are very nice and helpful.

The old house in Guya Lane next to Paifang Street is very charming! It's a pity that I only stayed there for one night. If I had time, I would have enjoyed petting cats and drinking tea in the yard!

The shopkeeper is right. Chaozhou is suitable for frequent visits, especially Nam Myo

Very comfortable small yard ~ very unique. There are two cats in the yard with different personalities, named Qian Duoduo and Hua Buwan. Hua Buwan always likes to sleep, and Qian Duoduo always likes to run away to play. The children are looking for them every day 🐈 ~ Renewed another night, and when leaving, the children couldn't help crying and didn't want to leave ~

It is a very clean B&B with a quiet environment and ancient style. The owner told us the history of the B&B in detail. It is very convenient to walk to the Archway Street about ten meters away from the B&B.

Let me start with the conclusion: the experience is very poor. This is a B&B that I have collected for a long time, so I am looking forward to it. I just happened to make a reservation for this business trip. However, during the check-in process, there was a very unpleasant communication experience. I hope to protect everyone from lightning 1. The instructions are crude. There are no details, only two positions. It is very hot in the summer with luggage, and the navigation is not right at all. I walked around for a long time. The boss answered the first call, but his attitude was not very patient during the second call. The phone cannot be connected directly. I am still a person, what if I am old and young? If you are very busy, can you give detailed instructions? 2. There were a lot of mosquitoes in the room. I was bitten by five or six packs as soon as I entered. I wonder if the mosquito repellent water is not visible on the bedside? After repeated inquiries, I was given another mosquito repellent. Everyone, look at the picture. The electronic mosquito repellent is in a paper towel tube. Can I see it? 3. This problem is the most fatal. The toilet was not checked in advance to see if it was unblocked. Since I left my luggage and went out until late at night, I didn't find any problem with the toilet flushing. And at 8 o'clock the next day, when I was doing my daily defecation (I had the habit of flushing in the middle), I found that the flushing sound was wrong. When I looked back, I saw that the toilet was about to overflow. Can you imagine my mood... I called the owner and heard that he asked me to change to the next room before I even got up. When I hugged a bed of scattered things and was hurriedly running back and forth with my hair and skin covered with leather swallows, I couldn't move out of the room. . The scene is hilarious and the mood is extremely depressing. I told the owner that I didn't come here to buy you two bottles of Evian.... 4. Because I didn’t want to have invalid communication, I handed over the follow-up complaints and follow-up to Ctrip’s customer service. Unexpectedly, Ctrip’s customer service called me and said that they had communicated with the shop owner many times. The shop owner’s attitude was really bad and he went back on his word. They were also helpless. Penalty points will be deducted later. I hesitated, I can only say that the store is not short of money, I am convinced. I write so much in the hope that no one will have the same experience as me. In the booming tourism environment in Chaozhou in the past two years, high-quality B&Bs are springing up like bamboo shoots after a rain. The environment is much better with high cost performance. If the store continues to rely on old sellers and serve customers with this kind of service attitude, then you won’t make any money.

Response from Property: Thank you for your detailed evaluation. On the day of check-in, we contacted the navigation system in advance in the morning. Since the top ten famous alleys in the ancient city are back-to-back, the navigation system showed that you entered another alley in advance. This is beyond our control. We will pick you up later. The phone also directs you to go to the alley of our store just one intersection ahead. Sorry, we shouldn't put the mosquito repellent on the table. Next time we must plug in the socket in advance. Regarding the toilet issue, we check the toilet before arranging the check-in for the guests. We really don’t know whether it will be useful from your check-in at noon to the next morning. After receiving your call at 8 o’clock in the morning, we will give you a call as soon as possible. You change rooms, because the changed room is right opposite your original room, so I would like to trouble you to check in by yourself. Finally, you said communication was ineffective. Are you sure you communicated? If we rely on our old age to show off our abilities, there is no need to apologize and say we are sorry. Thank you again for your review, and I'm sorry for giving you such a bad stay experience.

It has a historical flavor, I like it very much. It's my first time staying in an ancient house, suitable for friends who like elegance. Next time you come to Chaozhou, you can try it again. It feels fresh, and it's a different taste when it rains.

A B&B renovated from a famous historical house, refurbished as old as it was. The hotel room is relatively small, and there is only an aisle and coffee table left after the bed is placed. There is no TV, so I have nothing to do but lie on the bed and watch my mobile phone. Because it is an old house, the roof insulation is mediocre (black tile roof, curtains are hung under the beams), and the air conditioner needs to work at full capacity at noon in summer. The location is in the scenic area, and it is convenient to go shopping. The hotel is not big, but the shopkeeper is very clean. The matching towels are all disposable, and the two cats raised by the shopkeeper are not afraid of life, good news for cat lovers. As soon as I arrived at the hostel, I enthusiastically recommended the delicious and interesting places around, and I was very enthusiastic. Friendly reminder: Local traffic congestion is serious on holidays and weekends, so try to avoid it if you can.

The location of the B&B is very good, it's quiet in the middle of the hustle and bustle. The location is in the ancient city. When taking a taxi, you may have to tell the taxi driver to park outside and then walk in. In principle, there is no big problem^^ I like the boss's two cats (who have a lot of money and can't spend them all). They are quite clingy and cute, but if you want to play with the cats, be careful with children. They are animals after all and be careful of scratching people. It is recommended that the B&B owner add a refrigerator, because during the hot summer vacation, the temperature outside is really high, and children like cold drinks. But it’s no problem for adults, because we like to drink the boss’s tea~

When you go to the ancient city, you always have to find an old courtyard to live in. I was attracted by Nan Miao's courtyard at first sight, so I chose to live in his house. The homestay was rebuilt from an old courtyard and is well preserved. After we arrived, the owner introduced us in detail the various places in the courtyard. Every morning, I saw the owner cleaning the courtyard. The owner's family was barefoot in the courtyard. It can be seen that the owner cherishes the courtyard and runs it very carefully. The room is not big. A tatami almost occupies the entire room. The layout is simple and warm. The bathroom is quite spacious, the toilet is still automatic, the towels are disposable, and the shower head has enough water. The two cats in the yard, Qian Duoduo and Hua Buwan, are also very friendly. After a heavy rain, sitting on the rocking chair at the door, shaking the cattail fan, it is very relaxing.

First of all, the environment of the homestay is very good, like the Suzhou Garden, it is said to be an old house, and there are two cats, which are very cute. The booked room is very small, with only one bed on the tatami, and there is not even a table. The suitcase can only be placed on the luggage rack outside the door. The air conditioner is still dripping, and the bathroom is still very small. There is a musty smell, and it costs more than 700 per night. Later, I asked the boss to change the room because the dripping was too serious and I was afraid that the mattress would get wet. Fortunately, the boss was not bad and changed me to a larger twin room for free. The room is relatively simple, with an old-fashioned wooden door with a bolt, a tiled roof, and a white cloth curtain, which is very soundproof. The bathroom is very advanced, with a smart toilet that can flush automatically, and a disposable toilet cover. There are also disposable bath towels and face towels, which are very good. The kettle is also good and can keep warm automatically. Let's talk about hygiene. The hygiene is just so-so. First of all, the pillow smells of sweat. I guess the previous one was not changed, so I asked the boss to change it. The floor hygiene is not bad, but there are spider webs on the roof door. I can see it clearly when I lie on the bed. I am so afraid that the spider will fall. There are a lot of mosquitoes. Finally, the service was just average. The waiter was a middle-aged lady who didn't smile much, wasn't very enthusiastic, and was a little impatient, but she tried her best to meet all the requests. The boss was a young girl, quite enthusiastic, but rarely seen. The friendliest one was the cat, who was not afraid of strangers. Overall, it was okay, but I probably won't stay there again next time. I hope the boss will pay attention to sweeping the dust and open the door for ventilation frequently.

Response from Property: Thank you for your review. Your stay is during a statutory holiday, so the price will be higher than usual. Regarding the small room, because our building is from the Qing Dynasty, we did not expand the room area in order to preserve the original appearance (friends who mind please choose carefully!) Regarding the hygiene issue, we always change the room after one stay and it is impossible not to change! (This is the principle of cleanliness shop!) Regarding mosquitoes, we use wormwood, thuja powder and other plant incense to drive them away every day. Because we are worried that most of the building is wooden structure, we dare not use too many chemicals. There are still some shortcomings, and we will try our best to deal with them. Regarding ventilation and dust cleaning, we open the ventilation and clean at a fixed time every day
