Hôtel près de Station Touristique de Gulongzhong (Xiangyang)

« The garden is exceptional. I've never seen such a beautiful one in China. The breakfast is well varied. The staff are attentive. Only the corridor makes noises and one can hear kids shout and run in the room. There is only one Chinese restaurant proper. The bar makes bad cocktails. It's to be improved. The hotel is in the middle of nowhere so there's nothing nearby but the old city is within a stone's throw so it's not a problem. Worth staying at. »

« I had a lovely day at this hotel. Rooms are only a tiny bit dated but it was very clean and a very comfortable stay. Staff are absolutely impeccable and the cafe/ restaurant on the ground floor is excellent. The area is very safe with some lovely parks nearby although there didn't seem to be much shopping in the immediate vicinity. Dining options were a little bit limited unless you dined at the hotel. The city itself is a hidden gem unknown to many Westerners. Zhaoming Tai blew my brains out...
