Shaxi Aoding Courtyard

This is not a sleek, anonymous and flashy place. It has the unobtrusive and personal style of Shaxi. The location is perfect. 150 m from the entrance of the old town. The staff is very helpful. They kept in contact with me, when I was on a long lonely hike. Charming. They cater mainly to French tourists. So I had to ask for my noodle soup for breakfast instead of toast. But that was no problem whatsoever.

This is one of the best places we have ever stayed! The rooms are spacious, beautiful and clean, with good sized bathrooms. The courtyard is a peaceful and relaxing place. The breakfast is also filling and well prepared. The boss was the most helpful and accommodating host and went out of his way to make our stay comfortable and to arrange transport for our sight seeing and onward journey. We even shared some tea in the evening, getting to know each other better. The location is also perfect, close to the centre of the magical ancient town. Myself and my partner cannot recommend this guesthouse enough! If you no visit Shaxi, you must stay here!

The staff were part of the minority tribe group, and they were very helpful and friendly. The entire place and room were decorated according to traditional style and pattern. There was heating and heating mats provided on the beds.

Charming little hotel set in a classical Chinese garden mansion. Unlike any other experience I have had. Totally lovable.

Very nice place with good service.
