Xīxiùshān Bīnguǎn

A point of difference here is the variety of rooms across three buildings. Go for one near the garden courtyard (where stray cats soak up the sun), or nab a suite if you feel the need to stretch out. Bathrooms could do with an overhaul but linens are clean and hot water abundant. Check the wi-fi in your room before committing.
