MISS MAY HOTEL

The property is very close to one of the entrances into the old town, so it was very easy to alight the car and just walk over, as cars are not allowed in the old town. First impression of the property was great, as there was a very well maintained garden filled with flowering plants, right when you entered the doors. Eric and Joyce, the friendly and warm owners of this lovely place, were there to greet us too! Fluent in English, Mandarin and Cantonese, it was a breeze chatting and learning more about Shaxi from the two of them! This is especially convenient for tourists who are from SG, MY, who may prefer to communicate in English or Cantonese! Rooms were very clean and heaters were available. There is no air conditioning, but frankly, you will not require that at all! The main street of the old town is just a casual walk away, perhaps just 5 mins from the property. But along the way, you would certainly stop by many spots to have pictures taken as the entire place is so scenic! The houses, the vibes, the courtyards etc, everywhere you turn and look, it's just beautiful. There is no lack of places to dine at, once you are at the old town, so despite the fact that the property does not include food, you will never go hungry. All in all, it was a great experience and we would highly recommend anyone who visits Shaxi to stay over at this awesome property!

This boutique inn was cute & comfortable. Kind of hard to find location due to it being in a narrow ally. It was very close to old town so that was a plus. We were lucky to stay on a Friday, which was the weekly market day where all farmers from around the region come to sell their goods. The filming location from the Chinese drama Meet Yourself was packed with tourist, us too. We ate at this location, good was delicious.

Lovely place that is very close to the central market and main pedestrian area. The proprietors are delightful hosts who make sure you have everything you need. They went out of their way to book us a driver to Tiger Leaping Gorge, saving us a lot of time and effort and money. Those not used to extremely firm beds should mention this upon checking in—the beds are very stiff and essentially planks with an inch of padding. Rooms are very clean and cozy.
