This weather is really not suitable for visiting Jiangnan. Although the air conditioner is on in the house, it is still a bit cold. Everything else is good👍

I went to this hotel for its environment. The feeling I had: 1. It was very weird. The hotel only had one front desk and security guard, no other staff. It felt like there were no other guests staying, only my room. It was not popular at all. 2. The hotel is 99% antique style, with traditional style and the depression of real business intertwined. I felt weird. Anyway, I didn't sleep well all night and was always awakened. 3. For a room of 540 yuan a night, two bottles of mineral water cost an additional 6 yuan. Breakfast was not included. No breakfast was provided even if you paid separately. It felt like the hotel didn't want to continue operating, and it would just last as long as it wanted. (It would be a pity if it was like this) 4. The hotel room was still very clean and tidy, and the facilities were kept very new. 5. Ctrip, this ** platform, was also irresponsible. It did not conduct questionnaire surveys with cooperative hotels regularly, but just posted them on the platform. It's not the first time. Evil capital!

The hotel is at the entrance of the scenic area, with a good location. It uses the old site of the inspection department. The lobby looks designed, but it looks a bit depressed. The small garden has some scenery, but it doesn't look well maintained. The service is good. Before check-in, a staff member called to inquire about the check-in time and sent us the parking lot location. This is a more satisfactory part of the entire stay. The staff member has a good attitude and took the initiative to give us a parking ticket when checking out. Regarding the room, the room size is OK, the facilities are relatively simple, and the wall skin is cracked and falling, which is tolerable. Before check-in, I asked the staff who contacted me by phone. Because I was with children, I hoped to arrange a non-smoking and quiet room. The staff said that non-smoking is no problem, because the room is full, all other things cannot be met, which is also acceptable. After check-in, I found that there was an ashtray in the room and the table had traces of burns, which was fine. Later, I found that the ash was not cleaned in the toilet, and there was hair from the previous guest in the bathroom, which made people feel a little unbearable. The room did not have enough paper towels and toilet paper, so they ran out at night, and I asked for them in the morning. The location of the hotel is good, but the hygiene needs to be improved, otherwise it is really not worth the price of more than 500 yuan. I will still check the reviews before making a decision when staying in a hotel in the future. This stay was not a good experience.

The hotel was renovated from the original government office. The environment is good and the customer service attitude is very good. However, it is a bit worrying that there are few people in the hotel during the off-season. There is also a problem that there is no breakfast during the off-season.

The hotel retains the original flavor of the Ming and Qing Dynasties and is very unique. After checking in, I feel like I have traveled through time. The room is clean and tidy. You can also stroll around in the private garden if you have nothing to do. I enjoy it very much.

The hotel is located on the old street of Mudu Ancient Town. The rooms are antique and very close to the attractions. It is worth recommending

The hotel is nice and in a great location, right on the ancient town street! The front desk lady was very attentive. It was very hot on the day we checked in, so I called her and she helped us turn on the air conditioner in the room! Very heartwarming! Thank you!

The room is very good, the ceiling height is very comfortable, it is worthy of being an ancient house, the air conditioning is sufficient, the layout is exquisite, the quiet town, the nostalgic room, it makes people calm and removes impetuousness. I like the time travel that is so close.

The shower head in the bathroom has too little water flow, and bottled mineral water in the room is charged, which I haven't encountered for a long, long time!
