Impression Shaxi Inn

Stayed here for 2 nights in Dec 2024. Absolutely blissful stay for the following reasons : - There's a rooftop terrace that is perfect for sunrise. The unblocked view stretches across the neighbouring villages. Great for breakfast spot! - Strategically located within the ancient town (3 mins walk from centre) and yet located on the outer layer of the town which is away from the hustle and bustle of day time tourists. - Heated bed pads which gave me such satisfying sleep for the 2 nights. Dec can be quite cold. - Always nice to have breakfast available at the homestay. Even though it's a simple one, it gave me more reason to spend additional time on the terrace each morning. - Had issue with my luggage lock upon arrival. The staff, Yan Mei was very kind, who walked with me to an uncle nearby the homestay to get help to open my luggage. - The owner of the homestay is usually around at night. Before midnight, he even sent me a reminder about using the back door if I stayed out late at night. Appreciate such attention to detail.

The courtyard, with its fishpond, blew our mind soon as we stepped in. It's a green paradise. There is also a observation deck where you could see the countryside for miles. The rooftop has a laundry machine and clotheslines. A welcome to long travellers. During our stay I got sick and the owner called a tricycle to take me to the health clinic. He paid for the ride would not allow me to reimburse him. When we left, he helped arrange a taxi to take us to the next town.We enjoyed Shaxi and the stay at this inn.

Ambience of an ancient settings..very friendly and helpful inn keeper Mr Wong who went beyond his call of duties to help us, senior citizens... no hesitation in recommending this Inn for its convenient and quiet location, a stone throw away from tourist hotshots.
