Jianchuan Hotels with Free Parking.

I stayed here for four or five days straight, and it was truly wonderful! The shower had a huge overhead rainfall showerhead with great water pressure, and the room's soundproofing was excellent. Every morning, the landlady would prepare a lovely breakfast. The entire building probably only has six or seven rooms. There were too many people taking photos in the scenic area, so I ended up taking all my pictures downstairs at the guesthouse – they turned out great! The owner can offer pick-up and drop-off to Shaxi Ancient Town (it's very close), or you can use the guesthouse's electric scooter for free. The hotel's location is convenient for getting anywhere, and there's also free parking for cars, which was a lifesaver since we drove all the way from Dali Airport!

Facilities: Everything at the new guesthouse is new, especially the owner's thoughtful touch – they even installed screens on the doors. Crucially, there's parking available right outside, although the alley leading in is narrow, which might be a little inconvenient for first-time drivers. However, the parking lot is large; the owner is generous, making such a spacious parking lot in such a prime location. Cleanliness: Extremely clean, meticulously maintained. Environment: The common areas are so inviting, you don't want to leave, just watching the fish and the sky – very comfortable. It's also not far from the stage in Shaxi Ancient Town. Service: The service is incredibly warm and welcoming, from the older staff to the owners. However, perhaps they're too enthusiastic; some of the more boisterous guests, especially children, get quite loud in the mornings. It would be helpful to ask them to be a little quieter, as their loud voices in the courtyard can disturb resting guests. This could be improved; a gentle reminder is helpful for dealing with noisy children early in the morning. I won't elaborate further; just look at the pictures. It's definitely worth a visit.

Absolutely — here’s a warm, detailed review that highlights both the experience and the practical points for families: We absolutely loved our stay at Shaxi Kogongdi Hotel and would definitely stay here again! The location is fantastic — right along the old street, with plenty of shops, cafés and restaurants just a few steps away. It’s the perfect location for exploring Shaxi on foot. The room was beautiful, comfortable and very well equipped, with lots of thoughtful amenities included throughout our stay. We especially loved all the little experiences and treats that came with the room — welcome snacks, afternoon tea, a tea experience, Bai Jiamai experience, goodnight dessert, breakfast and coffee. Everything was thoughtfully prepared and really added to the overall experience. The breakfast was also excellent. It was a semi-buffet with a selection of items, followed by the famous Over-the-Bridge Noodles, which were freshly ordered and prepared after we were seated. It was such a nice way to start the day. The service was one of the highlights of our stay. Everyone we met was incredibly warm, friendly and attentive. Our child was celebrating his birthday during the trip, and the hotel thoughtfully prepared a birthday cake and a little birthday card for him. It was such a sweet gesture and made our stay even more special❤️ We also stayed with our child, so there was an additional RMB350 compulsory charge which allowed us to open the sofa bed. It was worth noting, but the sofa bed was comfortable and the room worked well for our family. The only minor downside is the location itself — because the hotel is located right on the old cobbled street, cars cannot drive directly to the hotel. However, the hotel contacted us in advance to arrange our arrival time and came out to meet us, helped with our luggage and walked us to the hotel. So although we had to walk a short distance, the staff made the whole process very easy and convenient. Overall, we had such a lovely and memorable stay. The beautiful location, thoughtful inclusions, comfortable room and genuinely warm service made this one of our favourite stays in Shaxi. We would happily return and highly recommend it, especially for families looking for a charming stay right in the heart of the old town.

The inn is very quiet, the surrounding countryside is very beautiful, parking is convenient, and it is very convenient to go to the ancient town and Pioneer Bookstore!

I'm already home but still thinking about my three days in Shaxi!!! 1. Location + Parking 🅿️: The guesthouse was very easy to find, and since we drove, we wanted a place with parking. There's a small road in front of the guesthouse where you can park, which was very convenient 😊. 2. Ambiance: As soon as we stepped out of the car and entered, we were pleasantly surprised. It's a very comfortable and stylish courtyard. When we didn't go out, sitting in the courtyard and having some tea was incredibly relaxing. I also loved the room's decor – it was clean, hygienic, and had a subtle, pleasant aroma. There were small tables and chairs outside the room where we could relax. 3. Service: The guesthouse owner, the front desk lady, and the auntie were all super nice and enthusiastic. They gave us great tips for exploring the ancient town, and their daily greetings felt like catching up with old friends. (The breakfast was really delicious!) There's also a super cute cat named Huanhuan at the guesthouse!!!! So spiritual!! And very friendly!!! Every time I came back, I'd look for the cat first, haha!!! Overall, it was a very happy and relaxing trip! If I get a chance to visit Shaxi again, I'll definitely stay here again 🥰.

I enjoyed my stay a lot at the hotel. It is only a few years old. The courtyard is amazing with the pond with fish and gorgeous water lilies. All the staff were attentive and helpful. They helped me get a shared taxi to my next destination. I stayed there on a marketday too, on a Friday. The market is just up the road from the hotel - a ten-minute walk. I was at the market early (too early, about 8:30) and they were still setting up. I drank it all in though and walked up and down about 4 times until noon. The hotel is not in the ancient town itself but about 20 minutes away on foot. The hotel owner has a kind of golf cart and can drive guests up and down. The town of Shaxi is delightful with its beautiful square and streets. Worth staying more than one night. I also went to the Buddhist caves at Shibaoshan this is about 30 minutes away.

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Shaxi Guichen Boutique Homestay, and it easily exceeded expectations in many aspects. First and foremost, the hospitality here truly stands out. The landlady was incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. She went out of her way to introduce nearby attractions and local spots, which made exploring Shaxi much easier and more meaningful. She also helped us arrange an e-bike rental, which turned out to be one of the best ways to get around and discover the surrounding areas. The room itself was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. Cleanliness is clearly a top priority here, with many guests highlighting the same consistently high standards, often comparing it to much higher-end properties . The bed was cozy, and the overall environment made it very easy to relax and unwind after a day out. The homestay has a very charming and quaint atmosphere, especially at night. The courtyard and surroundings give off a peaceful, almost storybook-like vibe that really adds to the overall experience. It’s located just a short distance from Shaxi Ancient Town, making it convenient while still being quiet and away from the crowds. Many reviews also mention the easy access to the old town and nearby attractions, whether by short ride or walk . What I really appreciated is that Shaxi itself has so much to explore beyond just the main old town. From scenic countryside rides to hidden spots and cultural sites, there’s plenty to do if you’re willing to venture out—and this homestay is a great base for it. Overall, this is a beautifully run boutique homestay with exceptional service, great comfort, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Shaxi, and I would definitely return again.

This guesthouse has a story to tell. There's a 530-year-old ancient tree right by the entrance, home to a family of squirrels. As soon as I entered the room, I found a pair of chestnut-dyed cloth squirrels placed on the bed. Lying on the third-floor bed, the old tree glowed with life under the setting sun. The indigo-dyed soft couch on the terrace made me fall in love with Yunnan's sunshine, and the abundant flowers and plants everywhere showed the owner's passion for life. The guesthouse manager and the young lady's tea and dishes were unforgettable; that elegant, down-to-earth charm makes me want to return to this place again and again.

It was super convenient to get back to the hotel after exploring the ancient town. The design is really impressive, with a natural wood and Song Dynasty-inspired aesthetic that perfectly matches Shaxi's rustic charm. The courtyard with its flowing water, wooden corridors, and the gentle, Zen-like atmosphere as soon as you open the door is just lovely 🍃. The room was spacious and comfortable, the bedding was so soft, and the bathroom facilities were convenient and clean. After a shower, curling up in bed and watching 'Meet Yourself' just melted away all the day's fatigue. There's 24-hour butler service and afternoon tea upon check-in – sipping tea, listening to the wind, and watching the fish play in the pond amidst the misty atmosphere was truly relaxing 🐟. Waking up early, enjoying breakfast, and then just gazing out the window at the scenery, listening to the wind and rain, is truly living that slow-paced 'wind-filled' life.

A fantastic experience, the most satisfying guesthouse I stayed at during my Yunnan trip. The decor was thoughtful, a blend of vintage and rustic styles, with freshly picked wildflowers in the room. The room layout was very practical. There was a small courtyard, and the rooms had large floor-to-ceiling windows offering expansive views of the fields and mountains. It's a little distance from the ancient town, but not far, and the owner helps arrange shared bikes, making it convenient to get around the surrounding area. The owner prepared the breakfast himself, and it was delicious. Staying here was incredibly relaxing; I was completely satisfied! 👍
