SIXI GOLDEN SUNRISE SOUND SLEEP HOTEL
Everything was pretty good .....except there was no bathroom wall. It would be helpful to install a Chinese partition between the bathroom and the bed.

Lovely hotel with lots of character and conveniently located in the Old Town. However, hotel parking was challenging as it is located 600m from the property.
