It's a nice place to stay inside the Tongli Old Town, which is a world heritage-listed national park in China. It's clean and conveniently located. The owner is friendly. He can help you to get a discount for the park entrance to get in. Will definitely return again and recommend this to our friends.
Response from Property: There are four seasons in harmony, and there are blessings in the mountains. In this unforgettable season, it is our great honor to meet you here. The transportation is very convenient, and the overall style is simple and fashionable. Every plant, tree, book and painting in the store is from the boss. Carefully selected and built with the feeling of decorating a "home"; the scenery here is bright in spring, the trees are green in summer, the colors are pleasant in autumn, and the winter is lovely. It is an absolute "no loss" place~ At the same time, we also thank you very much for your service to us. Accept it and we will definitely do better~ We look forward to meeting you next time and wish you all the best and happiness~

No English spoken here when I went so be sure to have a translation app or some basic mandarin under your belt. You will have to call the hotel so they can pick you up on a moped. Luckily my friend speaks mandarin and the moped came in handy for our huge suitcase. Keep in mind there are a few entrances and didis can’t enter. The closest entrance to where I stayed was not where our didi dropped us off. Room has a sweet Bluetooth system installed in the ceiling which with my peach blossom wine was giving vibes. Also, the roads here are like old style bricks so suitcases beware! Consider packing light for your stay here but I highly recommend the peach blossom wine and the stall nearby covered in flowers nearby! $78 rmb for a jar and if you buy 3 they’ll give a 4th free!

Hotel location is a bit far from gate entrance.
Can arrange with the owner to pick up luggage.
Large and comfortable bed. Just that no TV.
Owner also arrange ppl to send us to the tram station after checkout.
Tongli is a nice place to hang out.

Response from Property: 褪去腳上的鞋,赤腳踏在平靜的石板路上,感受這古鎮猶如唐江南女子般的温柔,那又是另一件令人愜意的事,是與看聲音跳華爾茲截然不同的感覺那是什麼呢?應該是温柔和安靜吧,這裏靜謐得仿若不存在,然而她的美,卻又讓人不容忽視

The room was very clean, and the bathroom was also very clean. The owner of the B&B was also responsible for picking us up, and it was very late at night. The owner was really sorry, but every staff at the hotel was very nice and service-oriented.

Response from Property: Thank you for your positive review! We are honored to have you immerse yourself in the slow pace of life in Jiangnan, amidst the gurgling water and the leisurely oars of a boat, in this small courtyard by the river. From dawn to dusk, the rippling water by the window and the clouds drifting over the eaves create a natural landscape. We are so glad you have captured all of this beauty. We look forward to meeting you again and continuing to offer you poetic moments by the water!
My stay at the Tongli Slow Life B&B was absolutely fantastic! I booked a Courtyard King Room. It was spacious and bright, decorated in an artistic and cozy style, with every detail showcasing unique taste. Through the large windows, I could see the magnificent courtyard view, where sunlight cast a dappled shadow over the flowers and trees, creating a captivating effect. The nights were incredibly quiet, and I slept soundly and peacefully. The villa is located in the ancient town, making it incredibly convenient for commuting. The staff were also incredibly warm and attentive, making me feel right at home. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Tongli; I love this poetic place so much!

Response from Property: We are honored to have provided you with such a satisfying stay! Your attention to detail and appreciation for your room are truly heartening. From the soft bedding to the warm lighting, every detail is designed to make you feel right at home. We look forward to welcoming you back and creating more leisurely stories in this small courtyard.
The most fortunate thing about this trip to Tongli was staying at the Slow Life Cultural Courtyard. Stepping inside, the quaint courtyard is filled with the poetic charm of time. The room is warm and comfortable, with meticulous attention to detail. In the morning, I was awakened by the chirping of birds. I opened the window, and the sunlight streamed in, reflecting the tranquility of time. Strolling through the courtyard, it felt as if time had slowed down. The warm and attentive staff made it feel like home. Here, away from the hustle and bustle, I found inner peace. I will definitely stay here again next time I'm in Tongli!

Response from Property: Thank you for your kind words! We are honored to have you experience the slow pace of life in Tongli in your room. The carefully arranged soft furnishings and the courtyard view outside the window are all designed to give you a pleasant time. We look forward to welcoming you back to continue this leisurely stay.
I love this B&B very much. It's very clean, conveniently located, and the environment is super warm and comfortable. The photos are great. The B&B owner is very welcoming and nice. It was troublesome to carry luggage, so the owner came to pick us up personally. Parking is very convenient. The whole stay was very pleasant and reassuring. The layout of the room is also a style I like very much. It is very simple and fresh, with all kinds of facilities.

The trip to Tongli was quite good. During the National Day holiday, the family went out to play and finally chose Tongli. You can enter without buying a ticket after 5 o'clock. The boss was quite polite, and the hotel was very comfortable, clean, and relatively quiet. It was a very satisfying trip.

Linhe B&B in the ancient town has a very good view, with clear blue sky and white clouds, small bridges and flowing water, and people living in the house. The room is clean and refreshing. If you don’t want to check out, we can buy tickets for you and provide pick-up and drop-off.

Response from Property: Thank you for sharing your honest review and coming to Slow Life B&B. I hope you can relax completely, go to Tuisi Garden, experience its beauty, listen to Su-style Pingtan, and eat a bowl of authentic Su-style noodles. We went to take a paddle boat ride. When we were tired from all the sightseeing, we went back to the B&B to make a pot of tea, then lay on the bed in the room and look at the small bridge and flowing water. Thank you for your support of slow life. Thank you for having you.

The room is next to the river and has a balcony with a great view. It is very suitable for those of us who like to sit by the river and drink tea. It is a passenger ship berth with a good view of the glass enclosure. It feels good.

The location is average, the view from the second floor penthouse is OK, but the hygiene is really unsatisfactory. I feel itchy all over after leaving the hotel. Please bring a four-piece bath towel. I have lost my things. I don’t know if I am in the hotel. Please contact the boss. I asked for help, but there was no reply for two days. Forget it, I gave up. The only thing that tastes good here is that the wontons are pretty good.

Response from Property: First of all, you lost something in the duplex. You said you might have forgotten to leave it in the corner when you checked out. I also asked the cleaning lady and went to see it myself but couldn’t find it. Could it be that I can conjure it up for you? When you called me to ask, I gave Your cleaning call didn't go through, and then I sent a message to my aunt. My aunt responded to me the next day. Wouldn't you ask me again? You may have been negligent in coordinating dozens of people every day, but you are worthy of your conscience. You are welcome to come in, but if you have something to discuss in person, if you are not satisfied with the room, you can change the room and coordinate. Check before you go. If you leave something behind and we don't find it, do you think we should be held responsible if you leave something behind? We shouldn't be taken advantage of! Thanks
