Hotels With Pools in Jiangsu, China

Truly, we have so many sweet and unforgetable memories during our stay in Pan Pacific Hotel Suchou. We booked ”Family Two Bedrooms” for 4 of us & this room was the best family room we ever had. This room has 2 spacious bedrooms, 2 clean bathrooms and a mini kitchen with refridgerator, microwave and sink that made our in-room experience was very comfortable. The housekeeping was also very kind plus their excellent services to mention. We remember this Ms. Xia Ning, a room attendant, who left a beautiful postcard in our room with her heartful and warm greetings with her own handwritings to make sure we had comfortable stay and satisfied. We are surely touched by her beyond service. The hotel's breakfast was one of the best with so various dishes and all were delicious. Some food were resembling the famous and delicate Chinese cuisines. We fully enjoyed Pan Pacific Suzhou Hotel's Panmen Scenic Area. The scenes of their large beautiful garden at noon and at night was unforgetable. We had a chance to try Chinese traditional clothings from Wu Palace Hanfu Experience Center (with Ms. Yichen's generous assistance) and also one-hour cheongsam experience (for women) that helped us to take many beautiful memorable photos. Other hotel's enjoyable benefits include Suzhou Memories-Wu Palace Historical, Collection of Passport Documents for Wu Palace, Tai Chi Experience, CNY 100 SPA voucher at Jialiya Spa & Free self-service laundry and drying. It surely gave us worth time to spent in the hotel. Our sweet 5-star experience with Pan Pacific Suzhou Hotel this time surely will make us to come back to this great hotel in our next visit to Suzhou.

After doing some research online, I was torn between Building 8 and Building 18, but I ultimately chose Building 18, which is apparently newly built and features a courtyard. There are peacocks on the B1 level, and you can access them directly from the parking lot following the signs. You can customize your room keycard, just remember to do it in advance. There are also cute little bunnies near Building 18. The courtyard inside the room wasn't particularly worth it, as I spent most of my time out sightseeing. However, the large floor-to-ceiling windows offered beautiful views at night, my only minor complaint is that the courtyard itself wasn't very big. It was very convenient to call staff anytime to take us to any building we needed (except for the hot spring across the street, which only offered drop-offs at Quyu Teahouse). Yangzhou's gardens can get quite crowded, so it was much better to enjoy the ambiance directly at the Guesthouse. It was less crowded and very green, with direct access to Slender West Lake. Breakfast was plentiful and offered a wide variety of choices. I heard the swimming pool at the Guesthouse is also quite famous, but I was short on time and couldn't experience it myself. Do pay attention to the complimentary hot spring tickets. I tried both hot springs. For the Slender West Lake hot spring across the street, you should set aside a few hours. Both indoor and outdoor hot springs are available, and there's a great variety of them. Hongqiao Fang Hot Spring felt more like the Northeastern Chinese bathhouse culture (and I'm from the Northeast, haha!). For massages, I highly recommend ear picking and full-body massages. I don't think a pedicure is really worth it unless you have very severe calluses. Overall, I found the bathhouse services slightly less impressive than what you'd find in the Northeast. The lobby on the 11th floor is also very nice, with black swans nearby. The Guesthouse has a lot of plants and animals throughout. I tried all three restaurants within the Guesthouse, but I wouldn't highly recommend them. It might be due to my personal taste, but I felt it was better to eat out. However, the ambiance in the restaurants was quite pleasant. Overall, I'd give the Guesthouse a thumbs up. The environment is absolutely impeccable. However, compared to the exterior landscaping, the interior conditions of the Guesthouse were a bit less impressive. So, for value for money, you could opt for a standard king room and still enjoy the beautiful scenery. I will definitely choose the Guesthouse again on my next trip to Yangzhou!!!

Families, when you come to Suzhou, you absolutely *must* stay at the Houju Shangcheng branch! The room is incredibly spacious, so the kids have plenty of room to play without feeling cramped. The cleanliness is spot-on, and the bed is sturdy, which gives me so much peace of mind when traveling with little ones. The hotel also seamlessly incorporates local elements – Suzhou-style windows, white walls, and dark tiled roofs make you feel like you've stepped right into the 'Prosperous Suzhou' painting! Yet, the room itself boasts a chic French retro style; the blend of ancient and modern is just brilliant! And the transportation? Unbeatable! It's directly accessible via Metro Line 2, and Shangchengmen, Changmen, and Shantang Street are all nearby. The ladies at the front desk were wonderful; they recommended so many amazing local eateries that only residents would know about. The facilities and equipment are also brand new. We had such a comfortable stay!

Location: This hotel is a landmark in Xuzhou, right in the city center. It's incredibly convenient for visiting the Confucius Temple and Pengcheng No. 1, and also close to the 1818 Night Market. You can even see these attractions from the hotel rooms. Getting to the subway station across the street requires a bit of a walk around to the traffic light, so we mostly took taxis, though you can also walk to Hubu Mountain and Huilongwo, exploring all the way to the museum and Yunlong Mountain. Facilities: There's a swimming pool, but we didn't use it. Cleanliness: Tidy. Service: I was initially worried that the front desk being on the 42nd floor would be inconvenient, but there's a dedicated elevator to go up, so it didn't feel like an issue at all.

The resort's overall environment and landscaping are absolutely beautiful, with a very comfortable Jiangnan-style (Southern China) aesthetic. We stayed in a private hot spring villa with a well-designed layout and excellent privacy. It's pet-friendly, and although they charged a 300 RMB fee, our dog had a great time. The private hot spring requires two hours to fill in advance, and the staff taught us how to heat it, which was a good experience. However, they didn't show us how to drain it, and when we asked the next day, we were told, 'We already taught you yesterday,' which was a bit… *cringes*. Drawbacks: I've stayed in similar types of accommodations at this price point, but the service here wasn't as professional by comparison; there's room for improvement. The facilities are a bit dated (TV, air conditioning, water dispenser), the curtains were inconvenient to use, and the bathrobes seemed old. The check-in process wasn't very clear, and the public hot spring was crowded and not very clean. Overall, the good outweighs the bad. The environment and private hot spring are big plusses, making it suitable for a relaxing getaway.

Stumbled upon this hotel, saw the price was good, so I booked it. Only found out upon check-in that this is the tallest building in Wuxi. The subway station is right downstairs, and Xiao Lou Alley is just across the street. Getting around is super convenient. The hotel's ground-floor entrance isn't very obvious; I walked around a bit before finding it and initially thought it was an office building lobby. I went in and asked, and that's when I learned the hotel's front desk is on the 43rd floor. Taking the express elevator made my ears pop a bit. The room was great, the view was nice, and it was clean. The complimentary soft drinks from the minibar for Trip.com members and the welcome fruit from the hotel were a thoughtful touch. I had read reviews mentioning poor soundproofing and was worried it might affect my sleep, but it turned out to be very quiet. Check-out was also very fast; I just handed in the room card and left. Overall, it was a very good experience. I'd definitely stay here again.

The hotel's location is fantastic, super convenient for shopping and dining. While the facilities are a bit dated, all the staff are incredibly proactive and enthusiastic. The rooms are spotless. Amy Zhang from customer service even noticed we had a child and proactively offered a kids' care set, slippers, and a toy. We had a lot of luggage for our international trip, and the concierge team was incredibly helpful throughout the check-in and check-out process, assisting us with our bags. Overall, a great stay! Highly recommend.

When I was choosing a hotel, I was a bit hesitant. Since I was traveling with elders, I figured the Shangri-La Hotel would be a safe bet. I had seen some negative reviews online before, which made me a little worried. However, after staying there myself this time, I found it wasn't as bad as those reviews made it out to be. I'd personally rate it at least an 85 out of 100. On the first day, we checked in around 4 PM. I asked the front desk if we could have rooms on the same floor as my elders, and it took them about 20 minutes to arrange it for us. Although the efficiency wasn't great, I was still quite grateful. After checking in, we went to the executive lounge for dinner. Even though they called it 'light meals,' there were plenty of options, and the food tasted good. We definitely got our fill. The view from the 26th floor was also excellent. After dinner, we went for a swim; the pool was very clean and not crowded, so it was a pleasant experience. For breakfast on the second day, there were many local specialty noodles and wontons, and a good variety. However, there weren't many Western options, making it feel less international. On our last day, since our high-speed train was at 4:30 PM, we asked the hotel for a late check-out, which they kindly granted. We even managed to have a meal at the Shang Palace when we returned to the hotel around 1:30 PM. Overall, my stay was good. However, the hotel's details still need improvement. Personally, I found the air conditioning to be a bit noisy, perhaps due to older equipment. The service staff's service awareness also needs to be enhanced. I saw quite a few staff members on their phones during work hours.

When I came to Nanjing this time, I really wanted to explore Laomendong, so I chose this hotel based on online guides. **Amenities:** Our room was upgraded. The overall decor had a natural wood tone with a touch of Republic of China-era style. The room was very clean, and everything was perfectly in order. We also received complimentary welcome fruits and snacks, and the fridge had my child's favorite small drinks – very nice! **Service:** We were two adults and one child. The front desk staff asked about my child's height, and since she was exactly 1.2 meters, the kind lady thoughtfully arranged for a complimentary breakfast for her as well. Speaking of breakfast, it was incredibly refined and well-prepared, clearly the work of a professional chef. Every item was delicious, and the room service delivery was impeccably sealed with cling film, looking very hygienic. The taste was also excellent – so yummy!. **Service:** The hotel offers free, unlimited parking at the Laomendong P3 parking lot. The elevator from the parking lot leads directly to the hotel, which is super convenient. **Environment:** The hotel also features a small garden called 'Jieziyuan' (Mustard Seed Garden). I heard it was once the residence of the great scholar Li Yu. Guests staying at the hotel can visit it for free. It's very antique and charming, with many young women taking traditional-style photos there. The scenery is superb! **Hygiene:** Very clean. This will definitely be my top choice for hotels whenever I visit Laomendong again. It offers great value for money, excellent service, and a beautiful aesthetic.

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
