See what other travelers say about Xiaosaihu
Stayed here during the New Year holiday, and it was perfect—quiet with fewer guests around. The lake-view room offered breathtaking views, and having a spacious balcony made enjoying the scenery even better. The front desk staff, especially Manager Huang, was incredibly warm and responsive—any request I had was handled instantly. Even at checkout, my child received a small thoughtful gift, which brought so much joy. The entire experience exceeded expectations. From the location to the service quality, everything felt premium. I’ll definitely be back for another stay during future holidays.
