Posted on Aug 4, 2026|Guanyun Private Courtyard Twin Room
Guest UserThe space of the spring house hidden in the mountains of Yixing is a treasure homestay that has exceeded expectations in recent years.
The overall integration of Japanese and new Chinese decorations is a preference at a glance. The design of the Guanyun tatami twin room I stayed in this time was particularly intimate: the entrance was equipped with a double sink, which was very suitable for family travel; the bathroom was scattered with the rest area, the curtain was separated, the space partition was reasonable, and the privacy was full.
The housekeeper took the initiative to connect with the group on the day of placing the order, carefully checked the number of occupants, equipped the corresponding toiletries in advance, and the service was warm and heart-warming. I arrived at the homestay late on Friday night, and the housekeeper was still waiting to answer. I helped settle the luggage before leaving with confidence. I was full of security.
The next day, the breakfast materials are real, and the small wontons are freshly fragrant and delicious.
The whole homestay is surrounded by bamboo sea, and the steps are all scene-taking places. The photos are very popular. The store also offers a free travel experience.
From hardware design to soft service, it is really worth going to the special trip and recommending repeatedly.

Tao Lu B&B in Yaohu Town was such a wonderful surprise! The scenic area is beautiful and tranquil, the water show is enchanting, and the kiln fire show in the evening is absolutely spectacular. A special thank you to our housekeeper, Wanwan, for her warm and attentive service, making my stay incredibly comfortable. The B&B facilities are excellent, with exquisite details throughout; staying here was truly a pleasure. I will definitely choose this place again next time I come for vacation! I booked the room through housekeeper Wanwan, and her service was warm and attentive, providing detailed information about the scenic area. Thank you so much! 🙏🏻

I booked a garden-view room but was upgraded to a premium lake-view room. The lake and mountains were breathtaking from the window. The breakfast selection was rich every morning, and we enjoyed the hot springs in the afternoon. There were over a dozen pools, some with additives and some with plain water, plus a hot stone bed and a steam room. After soaking in various pools, a session in the steam room was incredibly relaxing. Our butler, Sister Xiaowei, reminded us daily to keep our room stocked with drinks, fruit, and dry towels, and even suggested daily sightseeing routes. The entire stay was incredibly comfortable, making us feel right at home.

The room is really clean and the facilities are very complete. The projector is very clear. The living room and the stairs can even walk barefoot. The style of the public area is very light. The cream wind, and the courtyard can also be camped, and there is a cradle for children to play. Very close to the town of Yaohu, the parking lot of the town opposite the homestay is very convenient, I will bring my parents to the next time, and I will live with the boss.

The front desk lady was quite welcoming and patient, but here are some complaints. On our first day, the hotel's cleanliness left much to be desired. First, the tea leaves from the previous guest were still in the teapot, still warm (though we didn't use them, leaving them on the coffee table was a bit unacceptable). Second, the cups in the room hadn't been cleaned, with obvious stains from the previous guest's coffee or tea still dried on the sides (we usually bring our own cups, but we inevitably used them, which was quite disconcerting). I thought they'd be checked and cleaned the next day, but they still weren't. After our two-day stay, the room wasn't even cleaned or replaced after cleaning on the second day. Luckily, we brought our own, otherwise it would have been embarrassing to find out there was no paper when we went to the bathroom. 😅 Since the hotel also caters to restaurants, leaving the windows open after check-in is not recommended. There's a restaurant next door, which is loud with music during the day and smells of cooking smoke. My personal recommendation is that if you're traveling by car to Yixing, choose a hotel close to the city center. Most scenic spots are in the suburbs, and you'll need to take a taxi or drive anyway. There's no need to choose a suburban location for a one-time visit. Eating out is also inconvenient, and you'll usually have to drive over 20 minutes to the city center. The city center is more convenient for those who travel back and forth.

Guest UserI went to Yixing with my family on weekends. I found the hotel by accident. The hotel is located in the foothills of Nanyue Mountain in Yixing. The air is fresh and away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is suitable for relaxing on weekends and short vacations. The hotel is a moderate drive from Shanghai, convenient for self-driving travel, and there are plenty of parking spaces. The parent-child facilities are rich, the children's playground, billiards, chess and card room, adults and children have a great time, the experience is very good, and I will stay next time.

Got downgraded and the downgrade was justified as an ”upgrade” ,I suggest the property clearly states that they do not accept black people on their property to avoid such interactions! .
I booked a room on the 4th floor but the lady at the reception gave me a room on the second floor.
I went downstairs again to confirm she gave me the wrong room providing pictures of the room I booked but she kept insisting that there are no such rooms on the property, she insisted they do not exist on the property and rooms on the 4th floor don't look nice.
I insisted she put me on the 4th floor like my booking. All to find out she was lying. The rooms were much nicer! Spacious and with a beautiful view.
I don't understand such behavior. Very disappointed!

The hotel environment is very good, surrounded by mountains and water!
The weather was relatively cold when I came, the hotel was very considerate, the room was heated in advance, and it felt very warm to move in.
