Yi's Garden Villa

The place was just what I was looking for (minus the fact they didn't serve breakfast or have a bar or an elevator). My room was on the top floor of what was mostly a three-story hotel. My room was accessed by a separate staircase to a roof terrace which lead to my room (the only room on the roof. But that also meant I had windows on all three sides (including the bathroom). I had a lovely covered terrace a pretty comfy sofa and a fridge. The staff (Tania especially) couldn't have been nicer and more helpful. I was there for close to a month. Excellent location inside the old city, nice pool, and a very quiet side street.

The Villa feels like a little home. My room was small, I scooped up the very last one for the week. However I could go downstairs and sit next to the pool and either read my book or chat with guests and staff. The staff go above and beond to make your stay comfortable and inviting. I left with new friends and plan on returning again. I would love to try out one of the larger rooms, like the one that opens to the pool. However for just one person it seems like a lot. Very close to absolutly everything you would want. Small shops, food, massage, salons. You do not have to go far to find what you are looking for.

The staff was very nice and welcoming and tried to solve whichever problem that occurred. For the upper room: Large windows with a lot of light, relative silence, a very nice view of the mountain, you can even watch the sunset. The balcony with the benches was nice. The sofa in the room was helpful. For the room close to the pool: the room size was big enough for two people, and the bathroom was big enough. There was a bench that you can put your suitcase on and open it, which was very useful.

Good location but hidden away a bit.The taxi drivers cant find it,use maps on your phone. The swimming pool and garden area is nice and well maintained. The bed was large and comfortable.

Comfortable, relaxing, quiet, clean, centrally located place to wander around the old city and chill by the pool. I was there for 8 days, which seemed to be a lot longer than other guests, who seemed to be there for a couple of days at the most, and I felt very at home. I could read my book by the pool in peace and head out for food when I needed. Staff were attentive and friendly and I felt like I got to know them a bit more being there for a relatively long time. Their English was good, and I could even speak a bit of Chinese with the boss, which was nice. I liked the traditional elements in its design, which made use of wood and inner courtyards, to keep the place nice and cool It was exactly what I was looking for.
