Lingqian River View Hotel (Phoenix Ancient City Br

The service of this hotel is pretty good. The hotel will arrange for someone to pick you up from the train station and send you back when you are leaving. The lady at the front desk is very friendly. Hotel room is not big but it's functional. Certain parts of the room are slightly worn out. But for the price it's not too bad. There's a lift in the hotel and cars can go directly to the front door of this hotel so you don't have to carry your luggages and drag them in the town. About 10-15mins walk to the river. Overall pretty nice stay.

Clean and cozy room, just a short stroll from the busy ancient town. Service was great and friendly - gave us a map and told us how to walk around Fenghuang and sent us off to the train station too.

Pros: very quick in addressing issues. One day there was no hot water and the hotel responded in a very short time and remedied the problem. Also hotel did a courtesy drop off to a local bus station, which was greatly appreciated. It was an uphill climb and would have been a challenge with luggage. Hotel location was quiet. Heating, water pressure and hot water all very good. Hotel staff also gave us a restaurant recommendation which was very good. Breakfast was good. Cons: don’t be fooled by the description of 180 degree view of the river. It has two buildings on both sides blocking the view, as we found out after checking in. The walk to the ancient village is about 10 minutes from the Hotel, and longer on the way back because there is a bit of uphill climb.

They upgraded my room for free to a very high and nice room with a river view. They arranged for a driver to pick me up and drove me to the station when I left. Gave me a map of the ancient city and told me where to go. Really enjoyed my stay here.

The hotel is just outside of the main riverside ancient town. It takes about 10 minutes on foot to reach the famous bridges along the river. The walk towards the ancient is very pleasant and scenic. There are restaurants nearby so eating is no issue. The ride to the hotel was paid for by the owner. We stayed a night there and took a cab back to the railway station which cost ¥21. The room is spacious and clean. The owner of the hotel is very helpful and friendly. She recommends local eateries and shopping places which are really good. She cooks a simple breakfast for us in the morning. It's really value for money.

Hotel is very clean, modern , quiet with elevator. Hotels along river are more noisy, and you need to drag luggage through steps and cobble stone lanes (no cars allowed in ancient town tourism zone). 15 min walk to river areas. Chinese breakfast only. Complimentary pick up from high-speed rail station and welcoming fresh fruits on arrival. Lots of eateries nearby and along the river (with sides). You need to call (message thru WeChat) in advance to book arrival pick up. Pick up is at an underground level of the train station. From train station to hotel is about 20 mins. Owner also provided free transfer back to train station, a real bonus! Chinese breakfast only. No or limited english. Great Value!
