Cheap Hotels in Xinzhou

"Atour is the largest 4-star hotel within Xinzhou Ancient City. It boasts an excellent location, perfect for self-driving travelers, and offers well-maintained and complete facilities. The guest linens are of high quality, and the mattress and pillows are exceptionally comfortable. Both the variety and quality of the breakfast are very good. Suggestions and Comments: 1/ Almost 50% of the hotel rooms are on the ground floor, with windows facing the street. Despite safety warning signs, closing the curtains makes the room too dark, and even with sheer curtains drawn, there's a risk of insecurity and privacy breaches. Would it be possible to apply a 50cm high frosted film from the bottom of the window to remedy this design flaw? It would have been perfect if Venetian blinds were installed between the double-glazed panes, but alas... 2/ Hotel design should prioritize convenience of use > ease of cleaning > aesthetics. If this order is reversed, problems arise. Using white as a base with dark gray lines for murals or artworks is fine, but using it for a tabletop makes it look dirty, always making you want to wipe it down even though it never truly looks clean. The basin faucet handle is also problematic; it feels designed for children and is hard to grip. 3/ The elevator lighting is too dim, and having one wall as a mirror creates a lack of security! Additionally, dim lighting can easily lead to hygiene standards not being met. 4/ The hotel provides guests with a map of the ancient city, but the font is too small. I had to take a photo and zoom in, which then made it blurry. You should try it yourselves. The font size should at least be consistent with that used by Atour hotels in general. 5/ The bacon at breakfast on the first day was so tough it was like chewing on plastic. 6/ The maintenance and cleanliness of the shower room's floor tiles are significantly below the hotel's overall quality, which was quite disappointing. 7/ As the closest 4-star hotel to the 'Dahualiu' (Iron Flower) show in the ancient city, the hotel should be aware of its showtimes, contact information, and cancellation status (performances are stopped in high winds). This information should be provided to guests, perhaps via a notice board in the lobby. I was initially told it started at 8 PM, and then was told to check for cancellations myself via ** (other media). Service needs improvement! An Interlude: On the 17th, while driving out of the underground garage, I had a tire blowout because I had to swerve to avoid two illegally parked electric bicycles. The repair shop initially said that this tire size was hard to find and might take a day. I immediately called the hotel to inform them and indicated that I might need to extend my stay. Afterward, Ms. Shen from the front desk called to express her concern and offered to help contact relevant suppliers if the tire couldn't be found. She also told me to discuss how to resolve the issue with her once I returned to the hotel (by then, the 4S shop had sourced a tire from elsewhere, and I still had plans to visit Foguang Temple and Nanchansi Temple that day). Her call made me feel very warm. Around 7 PM, I returned to the hotel and found the front desk manager, who first told me that the underground parking lot was a public parking lot not managed by the hotel. She then said she had found the person in charge's phone number and told me to contact them myself to resolve the issue. When a guest's property is damaged, the hotel should express sympathy and assist the guest, but I felt she was trying to shirk responsibility. As someone with over 30 years in the hotel industry, from entry-level to executive, I have never allowed myself or my subordinates to give guests the impression of shirking responsibility when dealing with problems. After my insistence, the front desk manager used her phone to contact the parking lot manager for me. On the day of the incident and afterward, I collected multiple pieces of evidence of significant safety hazards in the hotel's underground parking lot. I have since submitted them to Xinzhou 12345, demanding an investigation and accountability for these safety concerns. Atour provides free parking for its guests in a public parking lot, which theoretically involves paying fees to the parking management company. Since Atour is a client of the parking management company, why does Atour not see the problems in the parking lot? Such issues will inevitably impact (and potentially cause losses for) Atour's guests. It's a coincidence that nothing happens, and an inevitability that something will! Safety hazards that I can spot easily, Atour can't?"

"Book in advance to the store to check in directly, the front desk staff service is particularly intimate, will take the initiative to inform the surrounding route. There is no smell when the room enters the door, the sanitation is meticulous, the tables and chairs are clean, the bathroom is clean, the hot water is sufficient, and the air conditioning cooling and heating effect is good. The room is excellent in sound insulation, no corridor noise can be heard at all, and the rest quality is very high. The surrounding dining convenience stores are complete, the transportation is convenient, the facilities are perfect and the price is super high. It is suitable for short trips or business trips. You will definitely stay again next time you come to the local area!"

"It's worth the money to stay in Dongchengli! Superb! It's clean and just walking distance to the restaurants and tea houses. The staffs are polite, very attentive and helpful. If you're into modern / smart technologies (smart curtain, tv, shower and lightings), yet you want to mix it with traditional Chinese style of inns or villa, then it's the place to stay. I guess it's too modern for me haha, I can feel the energy pressure of staying in a smart room, I get lots of static electricity, not sure if it's because I meditate too. I have an electric/magnetic field meter with me, I was so busy that I forgot to measure the room's field. As in, few fallen hair won't fall off my jacket. Thus, I stay most of the time, outside the room. They have a nice swing and a tea area with free biscuits & tea. I didn't get the chance to play with their full tea set. They have a lovely cute parrot and 2 cats! They provide free disposable toothbrush & toothpaste, hairbrush, slippers and yes, I found disposable towels too, not sure what kind of towel - I didn't open it yet, might try it in airport shower."

"The Hilton Garden Inn Xinzhou Ancient City deserves a five-star review! The location is superb, right next to the ancient city, making it incredibly convenient for sightseeing and dining. The hotel environment is elegant and clean, showing attention to detail in every aspect. The front desk service is attentive and considerate, making for a fantastic stay. The rooms are spacious and bright, with comfortable bedding, complete and well-equipped facilities, and high-quality toiletries, making for a very comfortable stay. The breakfast selection is abundant and delicious, offering authentic local snacks at excellent value. A flawless experience from start to finish, highly recommended for visiting Xinzhou Ancient City."

"This hotel is located within the ancient city scenic area, close to an underground parking lot, and not far from Xiurong Academy. There's a bar nearby, which can be a bit noisy, but it didn't bother my sleep. If you're a light sleeper, you might want to check with the hotel in advance. For late-night snacks, they offer congee and pre-packaged snacks like Daliyuan mini breads and biscuits. The breakfast spread is quite comprehensive, though there aren't many hot dishes. The hotel staff are all very polite and provide excellent service, and they even gave me a small souvenir when I checked out. Overall, I'd give it a 9.5 out of 10."

"I'm writing this detailed review about our stay at Taohuadao (Peach Blossom Island) during the weekend of March 21st. Our family of five visited Xinzhou Ancient City and booked our accommodation there. Taohuadao is conveniently located, just a 10-15 minute drive from Xinzhou West Station, and easy to find. We booked one duplex and one flat-level room. The 'Wenkui' duplex even had a small courtyard. The hot spring tub in the duplex allowed us to open the window while soaking, enjoying the warmth of the water on our bodies and the cool air on our faces – it was absolutely delightful. The hot spring tubs in both rooms were much larger than we expected. We even suggested to the owner that they update their online photos, as the current promotional pictures don't truly convey the size of the tubs. The owners treated every guest like family. Upon our arrival, they provided directions to the ancient city, recommended sightseeing routes, and thoughtfully provided us with bottled water and tissues. When we checked out, they guided us on how to book a taxi and even helped communicate with the driver. Overall, we had a fantastic weekend. The ancient city isn't very large, but the prices are reasonable, and there's an abundance of delicious food. It gives you a really warm and welcoming feeling."

"Facilities: Very complete Hygiene:, neat and clean Environment: Comfortable and warm Service: considerate and considerate The location is excellent, the transportation is convenient, the room is clean and tidy, the facilities are complete, the stay is very comfortable, and the price-performance ratio is high. I will choose to stay here again next time"

"The room was great, spacious, and offered a beautiful night view of the old town. Laundry facilities were convenient and not crowded, though you need to download the Huazhuhui app to use the washer and dryer. Parking wasn't ideal this time; we parked in a small alley behind the hotel. You can also park on the curb in front of the hotel or in a designated mall's underground parking lot, which they'll reimburse. Since we had a small car, the alley worked out."

"This place has its own dedicated parking, conveniently located right behind Xinzhou Ancient City, making it super easy to get around. Charging and fueling your car is a breeze. You can bring back anything you buy in the ancient city and enjoy it at your leisure in your room. The private hot spring in the courtyard was a great experience – perfect for soaking while munching on snacks and sipping tea. It even has a retractable roof with lights, so you can enjoy it at night too. The service was top-notch; they provided a pet gift package and a welcome gift, which our dog loved! The staff were incredibly responsive, charming, and generous. We'll definitely be back!"

"What era are we living in? Still charging deposits? I don't understand this. This is the first time I've encountered this hotel. I was worried they might steal something, but it's ridiculous. The refund process was so slow; it only came back this afternoon. The emergency exit was pitch black at night; leaving the door open would be terrifying. The elevator is set up for room card only, but you don't have an emergency exit, do you? This hotel's security needs improvement, and the staff's attitude is just so-so. It's a newly opened hotel, and I think it's in the same building as the Panhua Hotel. At least it shouldn't be too bad, right? It's not cheap, even at several hundred yuan a room during New Year's Day. The necessary service and attitude should be provided. You can't just say you're too busy because you're busy. Is this the customer's problem? Are we supposed to pay for it? Since the front desk and rooms are far apart, you should have more staff, instead of making people wait while you do your work. Ultimately, pointing out problems is meant to provide an opportunity for improvement. The complimentary breakfast is also problematic. I've stayed in so many hotels; Marriott and Sheraton have such good quality, and they even offer it in good reviews. The program at Xinzhou Ancient City was quite good, and the hygiene and environment of the hotels were also very good. However, the management and service need significant improvement. It's newly opened, so there are many opportunities."
