Hotels With Bars in Jiangsu, China

The location is truly fantastic. It's just a few minutes by subway from Nanjing South Railway Station, and the hotel is situated right above the subway station. The room features a full wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, making it minimalist, bright, and airy. There's also a tatami sofa; opening the curtains offers a stunning view and brilliant natural light. The cleanliness was handled with great care, and our family of three had a very comfortable stay. They provided complimentary children's slippers and a toothbrush, which made our son ecstatic. The breakfast had a pretty good variety, and the Duck Blood Vermicelli Soup had more generous ingredients than what you get at outside eateries. The young man at the front desk was super quick with check-in, recommended local food spots nearby—you can find local eateries just a short walk away—and even gave us directions for sightseeing routes in Nanjing. In the evening, we took the subway just two stops to a nearby major shopping district. I also checked out the gym when I had a moment; it's well-equipped, clean, and unoccupied. All in all, it was a very satisfying stay~~ I've already recommended it to friends planning to visit Nanjing!

I arrived in pouring rain. I thought I could walk to my hotel but it was impossible in the downpour. I didn’t want to bother any hotel owner.   I didn’t and still don’t  have an eSIM that can make local  call but thanks to Trip.com, there is a link that I could call the owner for free.  I didn’t advise the owners my arrival time so they were off running errands.  I called the owner to pick me up and thankfully he answered. He was busy but gracious enough to turn around and picked me up. It knew Zhouhuang requires a ticket but I didn’t know that no cars, nor motorcycles, nor bicycles are allowed. Without him I would have arrived the hotel easily.  I always like to meet the owners instead of employees . They were very helpful and answered all my questions. They are honest people who dedicate their  blood and sweat to their business. The owner even offered to walk me to the bus stop  to Suzhou which was my next destination.  This  operates two hotels with 9 in one and 6 in the other. The one that I stayed in with 9 rooms is in a  lively and busy area . Just outside the hotel is a restaurant and there are plenty of places to eat. Inside the hotel is a peaceful oasis where you won’t hear any noise. The location is the best. The other hotel is in a quieter neighborhood a few minutes away. Each of the 15 rooms has it’s own personality, is different and has its distinctive decoration. The owners said they decorated them themselves. I love the decoration and especially the lighting.  After you reserve a room, be sure to contact the owner for the exact address in case you want to arrive on your own. I think it is best to request the owner to take you there because he/she will lead you to the ticket booth to buy tickets. There are a number of bridges so heavy big luggages can be a bit of a challenge .  If you arrive after 5 pm, you can enter free of charge as no one is there to check your ticket. . But once you are inside, and if you choose to leave the area after 8 or 9 am until 5 pm, you have to pay to come back in. You can buy a one day or in my case 3 days pass.  Do check with the owner for up to date information.  The room was quite clean. There were hot water all the time. There were other guests during my stay but they were not noisy at all. I barely heard them. I slept very well during my 3 nights there.  Zhouhuang is really beautiful. There are many canals, bridges, boat rides, good food of all kinds. I had some of the best meals there. In fact , I ate in the same restaurant that serves dumpling twice. One night I had grill (BBQ) meat just outside the entrance for 4 yuans. .  There is decent size supermarket just outside the turnstile and not too far away is a much bigger supermarket. It was there where I bought half a Peking duck for only 32 yuans . The seller sliced the meat and separated the meat from  the bones. The bones he fried so it was crunchy.  It was delicious. There is a theater that offers performances. The night view is great. If you step out your room, you will be overwhelmed in a good sense by the exciting surroundings.  This hotel definitely is one of the best that I have ever stayed in. Look at the beautiful pictures and find one that you like.  I stayed only 3 nights and one of those days I went to Tongli. In my opinion, one should spend at least 2 to 3 full days in  Zhouhuang (and especially this hotel ) savor the ambience. I don’t think Tongli is worth the time because it was twice as expensive and there are not that many canals and boat rides. It is much quieter and has fewer things to see. . The worst is that the sightseeing places require you to show your ticket. After 2 places, I lost mine ticket and I  couldn’t get in the rest of the places. It is unnecessary to require proof of entrance because you can’t enter the area without a ticket. 

Visiting Nanjing this time and staying in such a charming little courtyard was a wonderful surprise. The room was meticulously cleaned, the bedding was crisp and comfortable, and the bathroom was free of water stains and odors—you can really tell a lot of care goes into the details. The front desk staff were warm and welcoming, check-in was smooth, and they patiently gave us directions and recommended local eateries. The back courtyard is my absolute favorite; it's a quiet oasis amidst the bustling city, shaded by lush greenery. Coming back after exploring the lively Laomendong historical area and just sitting out in the courtyard helped us completely unwind. The location is unbeatable and getting around was very convenient. The overall experience was thoroughly comfortable, and I will definitely choose to stay here again next time I visit Nanjing.

I was pleasantly surprised to discover this unique, niche hotel. The space is incredibly well-designed. The room had a cozy, enveloping feel that made me feel very secure. As for the public areas, they were absolutely stunning – every corner was picture-perfect and exuded a relaxed vibe. The breakfast was semi-buffet style, and the variety catered to everyone, from children to seniors, and even those with diabetes (they had steamed sweet potatoes and corn). Both Western and Chinese options were available. My favorites were the curry with naan and the Eggs Benedict – truly delicious! The tableware was also exquisite, making it easy to snap great photos. The coffee was better than what you'd find at many five-star hotels. The only slight downside was that the baristas didn't seem to do latte art (but that's not a big deal). There was an ample supply of tissues in the room, and their quality was excellent, comparable to high-end brands like Tempo. (+1 point) The bath amenities had a pleasant scent, almost like a subtle, youthful body fragrance. (+2 points) The lighting was set to be very warm and inviting, neither harsh nor too dim. (+3 points) The bedding was excellent, and the pillows were soft. It was very quiet at night. (+4 points) They provided a Laifen hairdryer, and the toilet seat was heated, with disposable toilet seat covers provided daily. (+5 points) There were four bottles of water in the room, two of which were Voss. (+6, +7, +8 points) The hotel has its own laundry room with two washers and two dryers, accessible from the coffee shop. The drinks at this coffee shop were delicious and Instagram-worthy. I didn't try the cakes, but they all looked incredibly tempting. The staff uniforms were very stylish. They weren't obsequious but full of vitality and youthful energy, which naturally uplifted my mood. There's also a free parking lot within a 5-minute walk to the hotel. Upon checkout, they gave us bread as a gift. The highlight was that this bread was incredibly tasty, and even the packaging was beautiful, demonstrating great attention to emotional value. My only minor complaint is that the staff training wasn't entirely polished. They were very cautious and eager to please guests, but they still lacked some practical experience. However, given their pleasant appearances, I'm willing to be understanding.

This was my first solo trip, and I chose this hostel. The room was very quiet, with separate floors for men and women, and a large vanity mirror. The rooftop is perfect for washing and drying clothes. The location is excellent, and it's a standalone building. It's less than 100 meters from Liji Halal Restaurant and very close to MixC World and Fuzimiao. In the evenings, the hostel organizes activities and singing. The playlist is super cool, and someone even played guitar, I even heard some Chair songs! As an introvert, I just listened in the lobby for a while. I highly recommend this place for extroverts who love making friends – you're sure to have a unique experience! Finally, Nanjing is truly wonderful, and I'll definitely be back, and so will this hostel.

I was on a business trip and randomly picked this homestay nearby, not expecting much given the price. But I was pleasantly surprised when I got in! The room wasn't huge, but it was fully equipped with everything I needed. The bathroom had a separate wet and dry area, and there was a coffee table and sofa, which was really convenient for working. The staff were very thoughtful and even sent up two extra bottles of mineral water. They specifically told me the front desk was available 24/7, which was great. Breakfast was also quite rich. For this price, to get an experience like this, I'm really satisfied. I might even bring my kids here for a holiday sometime!

The environment is great, and the staff were very polite, constantly checking in to see if we needed anything replenished. There are tons of snack shops downstairs, and it's just a 3-minute walk to Shantang Street, with all kinds of local snacks and boutique shops. I stayed for three days, but I really couldn't bear to leave and wanted to extend my stay by another three days, though it's very hard to book for the weekend. The staff were very dedicated and helped me sort it out, so I ended up staying another three days! 👩🏻❤️💋👨 Highly recommended! 👍👍

The room had so much character, you could tell the owner put a lot of thought into every detail. The service was also incredibly attentive; the owner tried their best to accommodate all our requests. Highly recommend! And since it wasn't peak season, the room rate was quite reasonable too.

Even after careful selection, this turned out to be a huge disappointment. Although it's called the ”Weaving Mansion” (Zhi Zao Fu), it's only because it's located inside a silk shop. It used to be a Blossom House (Manxin Hotel); had I known it was a converted Manxin, I never would have booked it. Facilities: Very outdated. The door creaks loudly even when just left open. The room basically consists of just a bed. While it advertised a courtyard, the yard is only half a meter wide—might as well not even have one. Cleanliness: Passable. Since I only stayed for 10 hours, there wasn't much to complain about here. Environment: The hotel itself has no real ambiance. You have to walk through a silk shop to enter and exit. There is a fish pond along this walkway which is a tiny nice touch, but that's about it. If you are looking for a traditional garden-style courtyard accommodation, I suggest looking elsewhere. Most importantly, however, there was a musty smell in the room. Mustiness, dampness, and a sticky feeling all mixed together. Since I arrived late at night and was exhausted, I was too lazy to change rooms, and checked out very early the next morning. I spent a lot of time looking at various hotels in Suzhou and thought the ”Weaving Bureau” would be steeped in history, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Breakfast is quite basic, but that didn't matter as much as the massive gap between expectations and the actual environment. Service: Practically non-existent. If you are driving, do not choose this place. There is no parking on-site; you have to park quite far away, and the hotel doesn't cover the hourly parking fees. Out of the 8 hotels we stayed at during this National Day holiday trip, this was the only one that didn't contact us in advance. Therefore, you have to figure out the parking and find the hotel entirely on your own. In a completely unfamiliar environment, it takes quite a bit of time just to ask for directions.

I stayed for a night during the National Day holiday. Overall, it was a pretty good experience, and I was quite satisfied with the service. The overall architecture also has a lot of style. However, I feel the facilities have room for improvement. The toilet is fitted with a smart seat, but after using it, I spent ages looking for the flush button, only to finally find a black button on the countertop. It’s not a great feeling when you're staying at such a nice hotel and spend ten minutes kneeling by the toilet looking for a button. Also, I’d suggest using different colors for the slippers to avoid getting them mixed up. Furthermore, the TV had very limited channel options, and when I plugged in a USB drive to watch my own content, it wouldn't play. Three different batches of staff members came to look at it and couldn't figure it out, and the issue was finally resolved via screen mirroring. It was quite overcast on the day of check-in, so I missed out on the beautiful Yangtze River views, which was a pity. Besides, I don't understand why the booking is non-cancellable; I feel this policy would deter many potential guests. Also, for unsold room types, the hotel might want to consider offering complimentary upgrades to guests. While I have quite a few suggestions, the hotel's environment is definitely worth praising. The wedding setup outside was quite pretty. The small balcony was very comfortable to relax on, and I felt a bit reluctant to leave upon check-out.
