[quote=ARLENA,264213]There are so many travellers in China and most are wanting to find a recommended place to stay. If you're 5-star then you'll know what you're getting. However if you're like me and want a value-for-money, heated ( at least at this time of year!) clean, comfortable place with a bathroom that doesnt smell, where the staff are friendly and perhaps speak enough English to help guests please let everyone know. I hate dispappointments. Do you know a guest house that reminds you why you're in China and is close to whatever it is you're personally looking for, perhaps we could start a thread where the good places are recommended and the not so good are "outed" so they have to lift their game. I'll start: I'm in Chengdu and I stay at Sam's Guest House - on Shanxi Street, close to the wonderful People's park. It's a delight. The front looks like a garage then you go through the foyer of a real hotel called the Rong Cheng that is full of smokers and card players . Dont be put off. You then enter a beautiful garden with carp ponds and trees to see the actual guest house. The rooms are clean, a good size and are actually cleaned every day by Hotel staff. The rate is very very reasonable. A hotel at guesthouse rates. Angie the manager speaks better english than most Ozzies ( sorry guys) and is totally helpful, advice as to what buses to take where -writes direction in Chinese, shares her biscuits, and can organise trips to anywhere including tibet. I'm off to Beijing in about a week- so any great recommendations for a warm clean friendly economical guesthouse in a Hutong from someone who has stayed there will be appreciated.[/quote]
