Jinshui'an Muming Theme Wenchuang Experience Homestay (Phoenix Ancient City Branch)

We really enjoyed the hotel. We stayed in Fenghuang for one night. We took the room with balcony and the view was very nice! Just next the the entrance of the old town and far from the noisy streets. However, being on the river, you get anyway noise from nearby places until midnight. Depending on how tired you are It can affect you differently, but the river view is really nice. I took a sunrise picture. These days they are doing street works just on the other side of the hotel, in front of the entrance, but the noise didn't get to the room.

Veryyyy good service, pick up service for free, reasonable price (quite cheap actually 😂) , nice view

Pros- Great location by the river, beautiful and close walking distance to the food shops, famous bridges and the red lady singing on the boat (5-10mins). Clean warm room. Bit of scuff marks and stuff on the walls and wooden furnitures but overall charming, nice and modern and no like stinky smells from the river/mosquitoes/cigarettes etc. Warm showers and has all the standard amenities (hairdryer, soap shampoo, shaver etc). The manager is super friendly and hospitable even though she doesn’t speak English she really tries her best to help. Cons- noisy bars and karaoke until 11pm, tour groups in the morning start like at 7am below the balcony (maybe one or two when I was there 2 days) and 9am construction work starts. The free tour is sadly in Chinese only, and the free outfit doesn’t include photos or makeup, it is about 199 yuan for that but if you don’t want photos or makeup it’s free. Don’t think they wash the outfits super often either. Laundry is apparently not a proper one and you have to hand wash. No lifts if you have a lot of luggage.
