We stay here for 2 nights. As mention by many other guest, it is not easy to locate even though it is the most centralize location when you find it. The hotel arrange a one way pick up from the train station if you are coming from Shanghai. But since we were arriving by bus from Huangshan we have to find our own way. Getting to the Old Street is not a problem. The address indicate 142 Old Street so we started searching for 142. We arrived at 142 but it was a shop selling food item not a hotel. Ask around but no one seems to know where. Call the hotel and they came round to get us. Basically there is a very small lane just next to the shop 142 and you have to walk through this small lane to find the reception. You could easily miss it just like us. Anyway we goty our room. A little small but clean. Chinese wooden bed, very hard for my liking. The owner of the hotel was fantastic. He arrange a private car to take us for a tour and also organised to help us get tickets for the theater. Would definitely recommend this place for the location. Plenty of shops around and many many restaurants.

“Lovely hotel but hard to find”

Indeed a really fun place to stay to get the atmosphere of a time gone by. However as others said it was difficult to find, impossible to communicate with in advance and hard to locate without a Chinese address. The phone number listed didn’t work and no reply from the booking agency’s booking app.… Mais

Indeed a really fun place to stay to get the atmosphere of a time gone by. However as others said it was difficult to find, impossible to communicate with in advance and hard to locate without a Chinese address. The phone number listed didn’t work and no reply from the booking agency’s booking app. I think there is a disconnect between the booking agency and the hotel. Only because my daughter has spent time in China and speaks the language was she able to find the hotel. It also required some sleuthing on her part. Even after we arrived both we and the person checking us in were not completely certain of the booking! I would recommend that the Expedia remove this listing as the info is not accurate and your average tourist would not be able to find this place.

“Lots of character with modern conveniences just off Old Street”

This hotel is very difficult to find. Our driver pointed us to location on Old Street but speaking/reading only English we could not locate it.

This hotel is very difficult to find. Our driver pointed us to location on Old Street but speaking/reading only English we could not locate it. We had stayed in Huangshan Old Street Xian Inn two days earlier, before we went to hike Huangshan Mountain & stayed on the Mt. 1 night and had also had trouble locating that hotel. We only found the Huangshan Old Street Inn because we were spotted on the street (blond haired women pulling suitcases) & stopped, them telling us "hotel" until a young woman arrived with some English & told us they had our reservations & led us to the hotel off a twisty narrow alley off old street. We showed several persons the Chinese directions of this inn, the Xishan Wutong Qinyuan Inn, but received various responses & no definite location. Finally we decided to go get our luggage at the previous hotel & ask them if they knew where our next hotel was located and to our surprise it turned out to be the same hotel. They own 3 buildings on Old Street & apparently you stay in 1 of them depending, I would guess, on room availability, which would explain the different hotel names & addresses on the booking site. Once you know where the hotel is, the location is great, just off Old Street in an alley. The building itself was very old with plank walls, open courtyard, fish pond, antique beat up furniture-lots of neat character- and it has been fixed up with all the modern conveniences-good plumbing (nice shower), plenty of hot water, heating, individual room A/C, combination door locks, WiFi, etc. The hotel is a quiet location & our room was basic but clean & comfortable although the beds are very firm -typical of much of China. We wanted the same room we had previously and had enjoyed but was told it was now $120 yen more for that room, so we stayed in different room. The room again had 2 beds/sleeping areas and this room had a small balcony. However, this room had a plank floor which had wide cracks between the planks and was over a lounge area/bar with a group of boisterous people there so it was very NOISY! Finally, at 9:45 PM the people in the lounge area left & it was finally quiet. There is not a "front desk" or service at this building- they just took payment in cash after showing us our room. Someone was waiting downstairs in the courtyard in the morning to walk us to breakfast in another of the "hotel" buildings, again an older building down another narrow ally, where we sat in a courtyard & were provided some fruit, rice pancakes, fried egg (we're vegetarian), & coffee/tea for $25 yen each-it was very good.

“Perfect except for the bathroom”

Very nice and atmospheric place. Nice furniture. English speaking student was very kind and helpful. However, not easy to find a place and one has to switch from one place to another (the tenant has 2 different places, you will have to check in/out and have breakfast in a different place). Most ann… Mais

Very nice and atmospheric place. Nice furniture. English speaking student was very kind and helpful. However, not easy to find a place and one has to switch from one place to another (the tenant has 2 different places, you will have to check in/out and have breakfast in a different place). Most annoying: shower is in the middle of the bathroom without any kind of isolation (not even a curtain): you cannot go to restroom or even enter the bathroom after you had a shower. Quite annoying...
