Old Yin Gentle's Inn

Although the setting is quite beautiful and calm, and the pictures are accurate, we do not recommend this inn to any foreign tourists. It was extremely difficult communicating with the staff, even with basics in chinese and a translating app. They were not prepared for our stay at all, when we arrived they took 30 minutes to find our reservation and still, they didn’t have the right room. We had paid extra to get the mountain view and they led us to not one, not two, but three rooms that did not fit that description. We had to keep telling them it wasn’t the right room, they seemed baffled each time. By the time we did find the right room, we had to wait for them to tidy it up : meaning once again that they were not ready to welcome us. During this waiting time we also discovered that while trying to be nice, the staff has a hard time with physical boundaries. One of the women sat very close to us eating sunflower seeds quite loudly, and once the room was ready she immediately bursted into the room to forcibly ask us what we wanted to eat from the card while sitting on the bed next to us ?????!! Apart from that, there were frequent power outages when it rained and the food in the morning was good but not very diverse (buns, noodles and soup). Most of all, if you don’t have your own car (which tourists rarely do) it’s very difficult to access and/or leave. The main reason why we booked the hotel was the « remote » aspect, while being 15 minutes away from the gate. But it’s way too empty and it is a much better idea to book something near the east gate in Wulingyuan if you want to visit the national park.

酒店在武陵源景區的西門（進景區坐擺渡車直達楊家界纜車站），距離景區大門很近。對比景區其他門進去就排隊的情況，從西門進去的我們，全程都沒有經歷過排隊，非常nice。酒店是座安靜漂亮的小院子，停車也很方便，在院子裏吃着早餐還能欣賞到美景，真的很棒。配套設施也很齊全，我們帶着長者孩子，住得很滿意，衹是周圍的配套沒有市區那麼齊全，但是避免了人多排隊的痛苦。民宿的所有工作人員都非常熱情周到，真的很推薦。

非常棒的住宿體驗，位置也很好
