Accommodation in China
Where will you stay in China?
During your trip with us you’ll stay in accommodation that reflects the character of your surroundings. You’ll experience a wide variety of styles and standards, for example you might spend the night in a Tibetan-style guest house or in a comfy hotel on a tropical beach. We use a hand-picked selection of authentic hotels with lots of local character with the right combination of cleanliness, location, friendly staff and good service.
How it works
We use a hand-picked selection of smaller hotels wherever we can, avoiding international chains, to give you a local and authentic experience when it comes to where you stay. As hotels in China don’t always fit in with European star ratings, we’ve created our own categories so you know what you can expect from your trip.
Here’s what to expect from your Rickshaw accommodation:
A warm and inviting atmosphere, small-scale charm, comfort, cleanliness and a favourable location are all the main features of this category. They range from a lodge located on a mountainside, a guest house in Tibetan style, a modern in the heart of Xian or a courtyard hotel nestled away in one of Beijing’s Hutongs. Most of the accommodation offered by Rickshaw Travel falls within this category.
In-Style accommodation & special stays - Category 4
During your China trip, you might decide that you’d like to treat yourself to something a bit more comfortable. These hotels are large and more equipped with a swimming pool, Jacuzzi, bar and several restaurants. This option to upgrade your accommodation to comfort level 4 is available in the larger cities of Hong Kong and Beijing.
Special stays
In some destinations, we’ve found places that add an extra touch of something special. This doesn’t always mean more luxury, but it does mean a unique ambiance and vibe. Think of iconic hotels rich in history or quirky properties in amazing locations. If you’re interested in including a standout stay during your trip to China, just let your Travel Specialist know.
Simple accommodation - Category 2 (or 1)
Sometimes when deciding where to stay, there aren’t as many options or where you’ll stay isn’t as important as what you’ll experience. Our simple accommodation category offers you modest, yet reasonably comfortable accommodation options. You’ll have your own room with en-suite bathroom but since these hotels tend to be located in more rural areas, electricity and hot water can sometimes be sporadic.
Tailoring your holiday
When planning your China holiday, your travel specialist will talk you through the places you’ll stay and will be happy to request alternatives and upgrades to suit your needs.
