Hotels With Pools in Jiangsu, China

Huge thanks to concierge Graves for reserving a fantastic room for us with a beautiful tree view. The soundproofing issue, often mentioned online, was indeed present but only noticeable when people talked while passing by our door. The hotel's facilities and environment were perfectly fine, and the front desk and concierge staff were all very welcoming. I'd definitely choose to stay here again next time I'm in Suzhou.

If you could only do two things in Yangzhou, they would undoubtedly be 'admiring the gardens' and 'savoring Huaiyang cuisine'. My stay at Yangzhou Yingbin Hotel perfectly blended these two experiences, offering an unexpected feast for both my mind and body. Before checking in, I knew the hotel was located by Slender West Lake, but it wasn't until I truly stepped inside that I understood what 'a new scene with every step' really meant. The hotel itself is an exquisite Chinese-style garden, with pavilions, terraces, rockeries, and ponds artfully arranged. Strolling through the garden in the early morning or evening, sunlight streamed through the carved wooden windows, casting dappled shadows that reflected in the tranquil ponds, while white walls, dark tiles, and lush greenery complemented each other beautifully. Everywhere I looked in the garden was a vivid ink painting of Jiangnan. This immersive garden experience is something that simply visiting a regular attraction can't compare to. If the garden satisfied my eyes, then the hotel's restaurant thoroughly conquered my stomach. The highlight of this culinary journey was here: the morning tea at Quyuan Teahouse lived up to its reputation. In the elegant setting of the tea restaurant, I savored classic hot dried shredded tofu, crab roe soup dumplings, and five-filling buns. The dim sum was meticulously prepared and authentic in taste, making breakfast feel like a special ritual. For lunch and dinner, I tried several famous Huaiyang dishes. The boiled dried shredded tofu was fresh and tender, and the Lion's Head meatball, with its perfect balance of lean and fatty meat, melted in my mouth. Each dish showcased the essence of Huaiyang cuisine's philosophy of 'using local ingredients and meticulous craftsmanship,' and the staff's descriptions of the dishes were professional and appropriate. From the thoughtful service I received during check-in to the warm and attentive shuttle driver, every detail during my stay reflected the hotel's dedication. It's more than just a place to stay; it's a microcosm of Yangzhou culture. For travelers seeking to 'experience local character and savor culture,' this is undoubtedly an excellent choice.

Staying at the Slender West Lake Hot Spring Resort was absolutely the right choice! When the front desk saw we had a child, they proactively upgraded us to a room in Building 6. The room was spacious and very new. Plus, the hotel's environment is beyond words – flowers, plants, little bridges, and flowing water everywhere, it's just so relaxing to look at. The room was spotlessly clean; the bedding, towels, and everything else were pristine, making our stay very reassuring. The service here is even better. They saw our child and proactively gave them a balloon flower, which made the kid very happy 😁. After check-in, the 'flower butler' service in Building 6 was also incredibly thoughtful and attentive. In the evening, they not only tidied our room but also provided a foot bath and massager. At check-out, they even gave us a souvenir. Soaking in the hot springs and enjoying the beautiful scenery here put me in an exceptionally good mood. It's definitely my top choice for a vacation!

To experience the New Year's Eve atmosphere at Nanjing Xinjiekou, I chose the Jinling Hotel due to its excellent location. I could see the countdown on the big screen in Xinjiekou right from my room, which was fantastic! The front desk staff was also very nice. There was a slight delay of about ten minutes during check-in due to a minor issue, and they immediately offered us complimentary breakfast. The room was a family suite made up of two corner rooms, with two bathrooms, perfectly meeting the needs of two adults and two older children. Jin Hai Wan's sunny breakfast was rich and varied, and the young lady from Jinling Yashi was incredibly warm and attentive. It was a very satisfying stay.

What we liked: Spacious and nice room design. Separate bath and toilet. Toilet has automatic flush, seat cover is also provided. Lots of snacks and amenities provided. There are amenities at the front desk such as disposable bath cover, disposable floss, mask etc you can collect from front desk. You can also ask for warm bottled water. Responsive staff, can communicate your needs via WeChat, very convenient. There are 3 lifts, very convenient. Snacks and drinks are free. Bath robes, room and bath slippers are provided too. Awesome that we stayed on the same floor as the lobby, very convenient. Location is near metro, malls, shops, and attractions, very convenient. I like that there are bath robes and different types of towels provided. What we think can be improved: We thought the big bath was indoors and wouldn’t be so cold in the winter but it has two open windows and it gets quite cold when the wind blows. It takes about 1.5h to fill up about 60-70% of the tub and you need to tap every 30 minutes or so to keep the water flowing. Quite time consuming to get it ready for a bath. Housekeeping is inconsistent, the cleaner left a towel on the floor on one of the days, left a cup unwashed, took away our straws and left the sink cover by the sink instead. They have a centralised heating system so it can get quite hot but the staff offered us a fan and we opened the balcony door for wind to enter so it was comfortable to sleep at night. There was some drilling going on in the early morning around 9-10am, it was just opposite our room so it disrupted my sleep, would be better for them to schedule it during non-sleeping hours. When we were checking out, the staff at the counter shared about them getting audited and if we don’t give a five star review, they will get a fine, I had never heard of it from other hotels and found it quite strange. She was insistent on us doing it on the spot even though we have to catch a train, that was not pleasant. We just went ahead to rush for our train. Not much to watch on the TV unfortunately.

I've stayed at InterContinental Nanjing quite a few times now, so I consider myself a regular. This time, I want to share my thoughts. The hotel's style is quite different from the InterContinentals in Hangzhou. Nanjing's architectural vibe leans towards old money, giving off a very opulent and luxurious feel. And it's a tall building, which I love since I enjoy staying in high-floor rooms. Looking out over Nanjing from the 65th floor is truly amazing! Plus, the natural light is fantastic; the gentle sunshine really brightens your mood. I really need to commend the hotel's service. My butler, Alice, was incredibly attentive. She proactively asked if I needed room cleaning and how I slept. When I requested some items, Alice was super quick to deliver, and she wasn't stiff or formal like some other hotel butlers – she was very approachable. The doorman at the entrance was also great, kindly asking if I needed help with my luggage to my room and actively opening and closing the car door when I arrived. My only minor complaint is that the hotel pillows were a bit too soft for my liking. I prefer a firmer pillow, so I woke up with a stiff neck this morning. But that's really my fault, as I only realized while packing this morning that the hotel offers a pillow menu. Overall, InterContinental Nanjing maintains a very high standard. Even though it's been open for a while, its quality easily rivals other five-star luxury hotels. I hope the hotel continues its efforts to make guests like us feel right at home.

Great hotel in a superb location for a Yancheng visit. Staff are always warm and attentive, rooms are great and food is superb in the hotel

Staying here for my trip was definitely the right choice! The hotel has a serene environment, and getting around is super convenient – it's just a few minutes' walk to the scenic spots. The room decor is warm and elegant, with excellent natural light and ventilation. The facilities are comprehensive, and being a newly opened hotel, the soundproofing is also quite good. Screen mirroring on the TV and high-speed WiFi worked flawlessly. The cleanliness was impeccable; the towels and bath towels were undamaged and odor-free. The front desk service was warm and attentive; they proactively helped with my luggage during check-in and even gave me a small souvenir upon departure, which was such a thoughtful touch! The price is also very reasonable. This experience truly offered great value for money. I've saved this place and will definitely stay here again next time!

Business trip to Xuzhou with foreign colleagues, stayed in Hyatt, reception is very professional and kind, hotel has fantastic view, Breakfast was very good, the chefs made lots of fresh food (they even made homemade “油条”, looks tempting). Services is good, fresh food, coffee can be delivered to your table.

The service was excellent; they saw we had an elderly person with us and proactively upgraded our room and gave us complimentary breakfast. The hotel environment is lovely, like a small park, and it's very close to the Slender West Lake scenic area. The private hot tub in the room was quite large, but the soundproofing wasn't great. We could clearly hear the sound of water from the next room's hot tub and their conversations. The service was excellent, and they even offered a free breakfast when they saw we had an elderly person with us.
