Pet-friendly Hotels in Jiangsu, China

We had a fantastic stay at Hotel Andu! A beautiful hotel in a very central location. Through a small entrance you reach the second floor, where you find a peaceful oasis of calm. Beautiful, quiet rooms with a very comfortable bed, a great shower and a fridge stocked with water and soft drinks. The breakfast was also well taken care of. What really made the difference was the service: extremely friendly and helpful staff, including assistance with arranging transport. Highly recommended!

Excellent location, right next to Suzhou Museum, Humble Administrator's Garden, Lion Grove Garden, and Pingjiang Road. A taxi to Shantang Street was less than 20 yuan. The front desk staff was incredibly warm and helpful, recommending local attractions and authentic, budget-friendly restaurants. They even gave us a printed summary of their recommendations. This guesthouse is a former villa of a wealthy merchant, a miniature representation of a classical Suzhou garden, and it includes complimentary afternoon tea/coffee. They also gifted my newlywed son and daughter-in-law a box of Suzhou Daoxiangcun walnut shortbread. We made a last-minute decision to go to Suzhou from Shanghai and found this place while on the train, but there was only one room left. Upon arrival, the front desk recommended their sister property, Pingjiang Xiaoyuan, a chain hotel about a 10-minute walk away. They drove us there in two electric carts. Pingjiang Xiaoyuan also has a garden-style guesthouse feel. The manager there gave us buckwheat steamed buns and sent us a WeChat list of authentic, local restaurants and their addresses. Both places were very satisfying. We'll definitely stay here again next time we're in Suzhou.

No hotel is perfect, but some definitely have standout features. Taihu Hotel, I highly recommend it! Even though it's called Taihu Hotel, it's not directly on Lake Taihu. Only some of the lake-view rooms actually offer a glimpse of the lake, and there are no public areas with lake views either. So, if you're staying at Taihu Hotel and your budget allows, I'd suggest a lake-view room, especially one with a balcony. In spring or autumn, sitting on the balcony, you can see Yuantouzhu (Turtle Head Isle) – that green shoreline across the lake. The balcony faces directly onto Yuantouzhu's ferry terminal, offering beautiful and delightful scenery. I had initially planned to find a lakeside cafe to relax, but this balcony was just too good to leave. The room came with a capsule coffee machine, so I brewed a cup and sat on the balcony. A gentle breeze was blowing, a few swallows circled overhead (I assume their nests are on the hotel roof), and the lush greenery enveloped me in the fresh scent of plants. The view was expansive, with boats coming and going on distant Lake Taihu, yet it felt incredibly tranquil. I didn't catch the sunrise or sunset, but I did witness the moonrise. I'd never seen the moon rise before; usually, when I look up, the moon is already high in the sky. There's a small hill directly opposite my room, and to my surprise, I saw the moon slowly ascending. It happened to be the 15th day of the ***** calendar, and the night sky was deep blue and cloudless. Unfortunately, my photography skills aren't great, so I couldn't capture it, and my literary abilities aren't good enough to describe it in words. All I can say is, it was incredibly beautiful. I'm not sure if this is visible every season, or if the moon might rise from a different spot sometimes. My knowledge of astronomy and geography isn't the best, but I imagine the moon doesn't always appear from the exact same location. The greenery between the hotel and Lake Taihu isn't all part of the hotel property, and you can't walk through it as there are fences marking off third-party property. The hotel's back garden is quite large; it takes a good half-hour to wander through every corner. In the evenings, they show open-air movies on the lawn. It's not too cold or hot right now, and the mosquitoes haven't started working yet, so it's quite comfortable. However, I'm not sure if this happens on non-holidays. Around May Day, they even had fireworks in the evenings. Fireworks aren't normally available on weekdays, and I'm not sure about weekends. This is a resort-style hotel. The hotel's facilities are pretty good. I was initially worried about it being outdated since it was renovated in 2016, but it didn't feel old at all, and the decor was quite nice. The parking lot is huge, with both an underground garage and outdoor parking spaces. There's a gym, ping-pong, tennis courts, and a pool. There's also an AI trail, which is a 1km loop around the back garden. They have small three-wheeled scooters, but I'm not sure if they're free or require a QR code payment to use. The staff are all very friendly and provide good service. There are a few areas for improvement. The gym has a sort of cable machine, which is great, but the accessory options are a bit limited. Also, the hotel's signage is a bit unclear. The underground garage is actually on the hotel's 1st floor, but there are no signs indicating how to get from the garage to the public areas on the 1st floor. When exiting the garage to check in, the elevator sign says the hotel lobby is on the 3rd floor, and reception is on the 5th floor. Taihu Hotel's layout is a bit different from other hotels, so I was slightly confused and went to the 3rd floor looking for the lobby, but check-in is actually on the 5th floor. Perhaps it would be helpful to add a note like ”Reception (Check-in)” next to ”Reception” on the signs.

This hotel is nestled in an alley in Laomendong, right opposite the popular Pioneer Bookstore, which is a great location. The only downside is that it's 1.5 km from the metro station, but we took taxis everywhere, so it wasn't a big deal for us. We originally booked a tatami room, but only found out upon arrival that it was on the B2 level. It had a musty smell, was damp, and poorly ventilated, making it quite uncomfortable. We paid an extra 1000 RMB to switch to a room on the second floor, which was much better. If you're booking, definitely avoid the basement rooms. The hotel has three adorable cats! Aside from the little hiccup with the room upgrade, everything else was pretty good, even though the price doubled during the holiday.

This is the most satisfying hotel I've stayed at in Suzhou! 🥹 The room was spacious, clean, comfortable, and quiet. The location was convenient, and everything I needed was provided. 🥰 The staff were all so kind and made me feel taken care of, just like home. 💕 It was so comfortable I didn't even want to go out, I just wanted to stay in the hotel as if it were my own home. 🫶🏻 Now that I'm in Shanghai, I miss Suzhou and the atmosphere of your hotel, especially Xiao An. I will definitely stay here again next time I visit! ❤️😘

Wandered into Huai'an during the Chinese New Year and chose this hotel for a short stay. Coincidentally, the Xiaohu Spring Festival Lantern Fair was right across the street. Chloe at the front desk handled my check-in quickly and with a friendly attitude. The entire experience was perfect, and I just have to give it high praise! The room was clean, elegant, and spotless. The bedding was simple, soft, and completely odorless. The bathroom had a practical wet/dry separation, and the toiletries were complete and exquisite, showcasing quality in every detail. The room facilities were comprehensive, and the air conditioning maintained a comfortable temperature. The hotel isn't far from the major scenic spots, with some even within walking distance. The breakfast variety and taste were decent. I'll definitely consider staying here again next time.

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.

The housekeeper is warm and thoughtful, the room is spacious and bright, the disposable toiletries are complete, the cleanliness is impeccable, very clean, very clean, and the important thing is said three times! It only takes two minutes to walk to the scenic spot, and parking is very convenient. There are occasional monkeys playing in the mountains, which adds wild fun to the journey. The overall experience is comfortable and worry-free, and it is worth recommending to all travelers.

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!

The hotel is located within a small, very quiet garden, offering beautiful scenery. During our stay, we received a room upgrade and complimentary breakfast vouchers. We brought our small dog, and it seems quite a few guests bring their dogs here. We drove here, and this area is part of the old town, so it's very congested. The narrow road leading to the hotel makes it difficult for larger cars to pass each other, so it's best to come and go during off-peak hours, like early morning or late evening. There are charging stations available within the hotel garden. It's very close to Shantang Street, and there are many great restaurants nearby. I highly recommend staying here!
