The location is right on Shantang Street, and it's not far from the Ximins Farmers Market and the subway station next door, about a five-minute walk, so getting around is very convenient.
Facilities: Standard guesthouse facilities, and overall they look quite new. It was pretty cold when I visited, but the room's air conditioning worked well, so I didn't feel like the temperature wasn't reaching the right level.
Hygiene: I ran my hand over several surfaces and didn't feel any dust. There were no obvious stains in the room either, so it was relatively clean.
Environment: The guesthouse clearly separates public areas from guest-only areas. General visitors can only access the lobby, and the accommodation sections require a key card to enter and are separated by frosted glass doors, so privacy is not an issue. There's also a lounge area on the first floor with a double-height ceiling and some greenery, and the sunlight coming in makes it very comfortable. You can relax here if you don't want to stay in your room.
Service: All the staff members were very polite. They greeted me when I came in and out, helped with key cards, and had a great attitude. They were always available, and actively helped resolve any small issues.
Although it's in a tourist area, there's a short path separating the accommodation from the main street, so I wasn't disturbed by the noise of tourists outside. The key card access to the accommodation area also prevents guests from feeling like they are part of a spectacle, which I appreciate.
The soundproofing was relatively poor; I could hear my neighbor showering 😂. However, I'm a good sleeper, and the other guests weren't making much noise, so overall it didn't affect my rest.
If you're looking for a place to stay in the Shantang Street area, I highly recommend it.
