The nicest thing I can say about this place is that you get what you pay for.
When we got to the hotel, the person at the reception was unfriendly and said the room type we booked is unavailable so they’ll put us in a twin room. No apology, no promise to move us to the room we booked, just threw the card on the counter. Only when I reciprocated his unfriendly attitude he promised to move us to a double room the next day. The younger staff (son?) was a lot more friendly, so I guess it’s the luck of the draw who you’ll encounter.
The room we got initially was a shambles: paint peeling from the ceiling, children’s doodles on the walls, floor of questionable cleanliness. Unfortunately it was a Saturday so I couldn’t find an alternative in Houhai as it gets very busy on the weekends.
As others have mentioned it is LOUD; it’s at the end of the only road that leads to the entrance to Houhai so you’ll hear honking every few minutes starting from early morning till late at night. Also there is no soundproofing, so you will also hear all the children and people talking/shouting at each other across the hallway. Oh, and the cleaning staff is fond of dragging the furniture around the rooms while they clean so you’ll get to hear that as well. Haven’t had a good nights’ sleep throughout the stay.
All in all, I’d say learn from our mistakes and book elsewhere. Houhai is great and we’ll definitely be back but won’t be staying here again.
