Inns in Jiangsu, China

I booked this place after seeing the great reviews on Trip.com, and it really lived up to them. It's super close to the ancient town's archway ticket gate, so it was quite easy to find after getting dropped off by taxi. The soundproofing is excellent; it was very quiet at night, and I slept really well. The room was also very spacious, and it was lovely to relax on the small balcony in the afternoon with some tea and sunshine. The owners, a couple, were incredibly kind. They helped us with our luggage both when we arrived and when we left, and even gave me a bag of local specialties. Their dog is adorable too! I highly recommend staying here when you visit Zhouzhuang.

This is a great Republic of China-era hotel, tucked away in a quiet spot yet still central. The courtyard is very unique, and the hotel's location is excellent. It's about 800 meters from popular attractions like Geyuan Garden, Heyuan Garden, Dongguan Street, Pishi Street, Dongguan Ancient Ferry, and Xing Street – all within easy reach. There are also plenty of dining options; the famous Erchun Fried Rice is right next door, and old brands like Fuchun Teahouse, Maopailou, and Gonghechun are all nearby. It's incredibly convenient for an after-dinner stroll. The service is excellent, and the rooms are clean and hygienic. Located at the entrance of a small alley, it's wonderfully peaceful and beautiful. If time permits, brewing a pot of tea and sitting in the courtyard to soak in the 'slow Yangzhou' vibe would be truly delightful!

Located within the Old East Gate scenic area, this hotel is a traditional residential building from the late Qing Dynasty/early Republic of China. Once you step inside, it's like a hidden gem, absolutely stunning. The room was clean and tidy. Even though it was on the first floor and right next to a narrow alley, the soundproof windows were fantastic, blocking out all the noise. The front desk staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful, always ready to answer any questions. Plus, it's super convenient with the De Yun She, Mahua Theater, Lvliu Ju, and Xu Family Duck all within a five-minute walk.

The location is fantastic! Lion Grove Garden is right downstairs, and it's a super short walk to Suzhou Museum and Humble Administrator's Garden, less than 10 minutes. Even Tiger Hill, Lingering Garden, the metro station, and train station are all easily accessible. It was great to be able to pop back to the hotel for a rest during the day after some sightseeing and then head out again without wasting any time. They even upgraded our standard room for free! The room itself was huge, with a separate shower and a massive bathtub – perfect for a relaxing soak after a long day of walking. Seriously, thank you! I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in town and will recommend it to all my friends.

The room was clean and comfortable. We particularly liked the unique layout of the courtyard, which the kids absolutely adored. They also kindly helped us with our luggage. The service was excellent, and the host was incredibly thoughtful – they even turned on the air conditioning in advance, so the room was perfectly cool when we arrived on a hot summer day.

This inn is in such a beautiful location. I only stayed one night, but definitely want to come back and stay longer. The host was warm and friendly. We connected on WeChat the day before and she provide a waypoint for gps when booking a car. She met up with me in the pedestrian street outside of the town’s gate to guide me in and helped with the luggage. The location is very convenient. This is an ancient town so the street surfaces are stone slabs and uneven cobblestones. But going in is mostly smooth, cross one bridge and the inn is right there, about as close to the entrance and as least hassle as you can get. The waterway in front of the inn is travelled by the row boats whether they’re on the day or evening tour route so there’s plenty to people watch from the balcony. Overall a great place, great host, and highly recommended. Little tip, if you can store luggage at the airport or train station, take only what you need for your stay so you don’t have too much luggage to weigh you down for the trek in and out. The balcony rooms are walkup only.

We had a wonderful stay at Wuxi Nianhua Bay Nianhua Inn. The atmosphere of the hotel is truly peaceful and beautifully blends with the Zen-style surroundings of Nianhua Bay. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, making it a perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. What made our experience even more memorable was the exceptional service from Tan Douzi. He was incredibly helpful, attentive, and always ready to assist us with a warm and friendly attitude. His professionalism and kindness really stood out and made us feel very welcomed. Overall, this stay exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Nianhua Bay, and we truly appreciate the outstanding service provided by Tan Douzi. We would definitely love to come back again!

The hotel is lovely and perfectly located in the heart of Tongli town. Staying there and taking an early morning walk around 7 gave me such a peaceful and relaxing experience. If you have large luggage, it’s best to contact the owner (she speaks English well and very friendly, willing to help.) for assistance, as the streets in Tongli are paved with uneven stones.

The awesome couple who owns the place are amazing ! They helped us to get into the city when we arrived and explained everything to us ! The rooms were really nice and we got grapes when we arrived that were grown by the couples, it was delicious.

First off, the location is great. Its just outside of 山塘街 shantangjie, so I could easily return to the accom in the middle of the day when I wanted (to sleep, use the toilet or umbrella). There are some really good eateries nearby and receiving food delivery is easy. Secondly, the service was excellent! They sent me a detailed video showing how to get to the hotel, and also checked how I was coming. From the moment I arrived at suzhou railway, they started waiting for me at the street so I wouldnt miss their accom. They also gave me very useful tips for where to go given the time of day, and helped me with the route to go to places. They also received my taobao parcels. And everyday they gave a fruit platter with local fruits Lastly, the room was very cosy. The view was beautiful but still private. They provided a tea set and good tea. The toilet was very modern and had a warm toilet seat. The bed was also comfy. The price-performance ratio is very good. I will choose to stay here again when I come to Suzhou, and also recommend my friends and family to stay here
