Guixinju Guesthouse

Highly recommended! The host is really accommodating, and the deco shows the Bai Minority’s tradition. Will be back if visiting Shaxi again

This place is amazing! Rooms are especially spacious and clean, and even a little table to pour your own tea. Rooms are vintage style but have modern amenities. Faces a very beautiful courtyard. The owners only speak Mandarin, but they always do their best to help (Helped me how to get to shibaoshan). The home cooked breakfast is also a very nice touch Recommend anyone to stay here.

We stayed for four nights and had a wonderful experience. The hosts were incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Our room was spacious, spotless, and very comfortable – a perfect place to relax. The location was ideal, just a short walk from Shaxi Ancient Town. While many visitors only spend a day or two in Shaxi, I’d highly recommend staying longer. It’s such a peaceful and charming place – we could have easily stayed for a week without ever getting bored.

As soon as you enter, the architecture is strikes you. Its traditional classy Chinese, but homey. The courtyard is gorgeous with a beautiful pomegrante tree to one side, and a fish pind to the other. You can chill out at some guest tables or swing benches while you wait or plan for your day. The rooms are clean and well done. Also Chinese, but modernized. The doors are locked with an old style lock and key which gives it a unqiue old timey feel. The bathrooms are particularly well done with modern western toilets (with bidets if you're into that), and large showers. Id recommend trying the complimentary tea. Ours smelled of chocolate, but had a mild taste. The service is excellent, especially if you speak Chinese, though if not theyre still very friendly. The owner helped us out with a misunderstanding with a local restaurant, and even gave us a free bottle of his local liquor to try. The breakfast is quite good, if you like Chinese style of breakfasts. Youtiao, buckwheat pancakes, hard boiled or fried eggs, and very good local rice noodle soup. The location is very convenient as we drove there and its right off a main road. They also have parking if you check and ask. A unique and luxurious experience without breaking the bank. I will definitley come back as I really liked the small tourist village feel of shaxi, and this homestay was excellent.

The hotel is very quiet and beautiful. Near the center. The hotel staff is very nice. I recommend it

We loved staying at this place. It's a peaceful courtyard hotel a 10 minute walk away from the main square. The room was enormous and very comfortable. The breakfast offered by the hotel was great. The owners helped us organise a transfer to Dali after our stay. We wished we could have stayed longer.
