Zaixu Manju Hotel (Guiyang White House Art Centre)

Zaixu Manju Hotel, listed near the Guiyang White House Art Centre, is a small budget hotel on Songhua Road in Guiyang, the capital of Guizhou province in southwest China. The property sits close to Songhua Road metro station, which gives guests a direct rail link to other parts of the city, and it is about 3 kilometres from Guiyang railway station, making it a practical choice for travellers arriving or departing by train. The surrounding neighbourhood is an everyday residential and commercial area rather than a tourist district, so visitors can see how local residents live and eat, with small restaurants, noodle shops, convenience stores and street food stalls typically available nearby. Rooms are offered as Standard and Twin types and include Wi-Fi and air conditioning; the amenity list is basic and does not include a pool, spa, gym or restaurant, so the hotel is best treated as a simple, inexpensive place to sleep. Rates of about CNY 150 to 250 (roughly US$21 to 35) make it among the cheapest options in the city, appealing to backpackers, solo travellers and anyone on a tight budget. The service character is informal and small-scale, with limited English likely, so a translation app and the hotel address in Chinese are useful. The White House Art Centre reference in the name points to an arts-oriented setting, though visitors should check what is currently open before planning a visit. From the metro station, guests can reach the city centre, Jiaxiu Pavilion and other sights in a short ride, and taxis and ride-hailing apps are cheap. Guiyang's mild climate and cool summers make walking pleasant much of the year, and the hotel works well as a low-cost base for a short stay before onward travel across Guizhou province.
