Boutique Hotels in Jiangxi, China

"First off, let's talk about the shuttle service. There are too few shuttles, so you end up waiting for over 10 minutes. Also, outside vehicles aren't allowed in; they tell you to go inside to buy tickets. If you're not letting cars in, then at least provide more shuttles! Next, the cleanliness. I moved the trash can, and it was really dirty underneath, with even some leftover watermelon seeds from previous guests. The entire scenic area requires a lot of walking, so I wouldn't recommend it if you have mobility issues; it's too tiring. The worst part is that after all that walking, you can't even order takeout. They say there's a butler service, and outside vendors claim the butler will pick up your order. However, the butler for my room said I had to go pick it up myself. This means if I'm tired and want to order food, I still have to go get it, which defeats the whole purpose of ordering takeout. The artificial landscapes are just okay; I definitely won't be coming back a second time."

"My experience at this hotel was a mixed bag. On the positive side, the service was good, the breakfast selection was decent, and the location was excellent. I also appreciated the security of needing a key card to access the upper floors. However, it was incredibly hot, and the elevator had no air conditioning, which was a real drawback. The downsides were significant. Upon checking in, I discovered the duvet cover was torn. After communicating with the front desk, they promptly replaced it, but unbelievably, the replacement was also damaged. At that point, I just gave up trying to get another one – you can see for yourself in the pictures. Furthermore, there weren't enough hangers in the room, so I requested more. The hangers they brought were completely different and much lower quality than the ones already in the room. The wall near the TV was covered in grease stains, which was pretty off-putting. And I'm not sure if it was because of the heat, but whenever I was near the sink, there was a persistent foul smell coming from the pipes below. I've never encountered that in any other hotel. Overall, my stay was just mediocre."

"Extremely satisfied, highly recommend staying here when visiting Wangxian Valley! The scenery is so different between day and night. The room type is very spacious and the facilities are quite new. The twin room easily accommodates four people. It's clean and bright. Staff are enthusiastic and helpful with parking, shuttle service, and check-in. They'll even carry your luggage to your room. Plus, there's a free butler service; Little Bear Butler was very attentive, answering all our questions, which was incredibly convenient. They even thoughtfully provided a bug repellent kit upon check-in."

"I ended up in Nanchang by chance, and when I asked DeepSeek, it recommended the Shangri-La as the best hotel in the city. However, Xiaohongshu reviews often mentioned that the service at Shangri-La wasn't particularly warm, so I booked it with some skepticism, thinking I wasn't really a fan of overly enthusiastic service anyway. Turns out, DeepSeek was right – the entire experience at Shangri-La was excellent, and the service was genuinely warm. Since I was a single mom with two kids – a teenage boy and an elementary schooler – the lovely and gentle young lady at the front desk directly arranged for us the best river-view room. She thoughtfully noted that the adult breakfast for two and executive lounge access should be adjusted for three people, and even added me on WeChat to better assist us with our specific situation. Everyone at the hotel, from top to bottom, was so kind to the children. To my surprise, both boys told me they had become friends with the staff on different floors. This was truly unexpected, and I'd give the family-friendly experience five stars. The river view was superb. You could see Tengwang Pavilion from both the room and the executive lounge, and the musical fountain at Qiushui Square could be easily enjoyed from the room. The service and cleanliness details were also excellent. I've stayed in many five-star hotels, both new and old, and I always feel that while Shangri-La rooms tend to look similar, their attention to detail and professionalism are consistently outstanding. There are so many subtle yet incredibly thoughtful little touches that are hard to describe but all contribute to respecting the customer's experience. This truly comes from years of accumulated quality and time, and I genuinely applaud it. Although the breakfast taste could still improve, the variety was rich, and the quality was high. The light meals at the Horizon Club were anything but simple and very generous every day. The red wine was also quite good. Of course, there were a few minor regrets that I hope they continue to improve: the shampoo wasn't great, the showerhead was a bit small, and due to the windows not opening in the high-floor room, there was always a persistent stuffy smell (perhaps Northerners just can't stand the humidity of the South). Nevertheless, I'm very grateful to the service center for continuously helping us find a scent-free room because of this issue – it was a bother for them, but much appreciated."

"I booked and checked in very late, after 10:30 p.m., because I missed the last high-speed train. This overnight stay was completely unexpected, so I was only looking for a place to rest for a few hours. The only downside was that I was initially assigned a room with a faulty door lock. After being reassigned, the air conditioning in the second room wasn't working properly and the temperature remained at 31°C even after 30 minutes. Fortunately, I was moved to a third room, which was perfectly fine. There was also an issue with one of the elevators at the rear of the lobby, where the sensors seemed to be malfunctioning. In addition, my previous room key cards no longer worked properly, leaving me stuck on the ground floor and unable to access my assigned floor. Since I was already exhausted, it was frustrating to keep going back and forth to the front desk several times to have my room keys replaced. That said, all of the staff were friendly, courteous, and very helpful throughout the entire process. None of these issues were the staff's fault—it was simply an unfortunate series of coincidences that slightly affected my overall experience. Despite these inconveniences, I still believe this hotel deserves a 5-star rating because of its excellent service and the professionalism of its staff."

"After a 1500km drive, we chose this hotel, which is just about ten minutes from the G60 Shangrao East exit. The room was incredibly clean and tidy, with new and convenient facilities. There are parking spaces available both above ground and in the basement garage. Check-in and check-out at the front desk were simple – just scan a QR code to register your license plate and get a parking voucher. Overall, a very satisfying experience; I'd likely choose to stay here again in the future!"

"Five-star review, an excellent choice for business travelers! The location is superb, right next to Tengwang Pavilion, making it convenient to travel between Honggutan and the old town. The hotel's banquet halls and meeting rooms are well-equipped, making it perfect for business receptions and events. The guest rooms are quiet and soundproof, ensuring that work and rest are undisturbed, and the comfortable bedding helps alleviate travel fatigue. The buffet breakfast is plentiful, and the gym and pool are great for relaxation. The front desk and concierge services are professional and efficient. The charging stations are a big plus for business guests traveling by car. Highly recommended for business trips."

"The air is fresh and there is no smell. There is a small problem in the middle, but the staff is very active and the attitude is very good. There are many varieties of breakfast, laundry service, most importantly, you can see the Tengwang Pavilion when you open the curtains, the landscape 🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️, and it is very close to the Tengwang Pavilion."

"The hotel was great! This stay I also tried their hotel photography service, which was a lifesaver for someone like me who can't take good pictures. Every corner of the hotel was perfect for photos, and the ambiance was fantastic. The photographer was excellent at making jokes to ease any tension, so the whole process was relaxed and I didn't have to awkwardly pose. I said goodbye to typical tourist photos and ended up with a bunch of beautiful shots. It was a comfortable stay and a fun photo shoot – definitely a must-try if you're visiting!"

"The Four Points Hotel boasts a convenient location, making it easy to get around. It's a short taxi ride to Xiantao Ancient City. There's also a Zhan Tianyou sculpture in the square in front of the high-speed rail station, and according to my taxi driver, the one at Shangrao Station is even bigger, which I later went to see for myself. The hotel's breakfast quality is excellent, and the second floor offers meeting rooms, a gym, and a self-service laundry room, which is very handy for travelers. Despite it being the peak summer season and fully booked, as a member, I still managed to get an upgrade. Overall, I was very satisfied with my stay. James provided exceptionally warm service!"
